Conrad Eurich Obituary
Conrad Eurich was born in Balzar, Russia, March 22, 1844. He grew to manhood in the land of his birth, and was united in marriage to Catherine Magel, June 25, 1873. This union was blessed with nine children, all of whom survive with the exception of the youngest son, Conrad Jr., who passed away in 1909 at the age of eleven years.
Hearing of the wonderful opportunities in America, and desiring to make the best possible provision for his family, the fires of ambition brought Mr. Eurich to the United States in 1882. He came to Nebraska and settled on a farm ten miles southwest of Friend. This was his home for twenty eight years, until 1910 when he moved to Friend, and has since made this city his home.
During his long life, Mr. Eurich was blessed with excellent health, but about one year ago, on account of advanced age, his strength began to fail and last week he became seriously ill, and on Wednesday, October 5, 192, at 1:15 p.m. he fell into restful sleep, trusting in the Lord. He had reached the ripe age of 88 years, 6 months and 13 days. Early in life Mr. Eurich was baptized and confirmed in the Christian faith and has remained a faithful member of the church all his life. He was a member of the German Congregational church many years, and for about nine years he was a member of the German Methodist Episcopal church. He was always faithful in meeting his church obligations and regular in attendance at its services. His habits of life were very simple. He was sincere and strictly hones in all of his dealings. He leaves to mourn his departure; his beloved wife, Catherine, five daughters, Mrs. Katherine Voltz, Mrs. Mollie Asmus, Mrs. Amelia Heimbuch, Mary and Hotilda. Three sons, John, Alex and Theodore, all of Friend; twenty-six grand children, six great grand children and one brother, John Eurich Sr., of Friend. ? & ? (unable to read) of older relatives, friends and neighbors.
After a prayer at the home last Saturday afternoon, the funeral service was held at the First Methodist Episcopal church, conducted by Reverend John R. Bucknell, pastor of the Methodist church, and Reverend F.W. Schlitzkus, pastor of the German Congregational church. A mixed quartet composed of Reverend and Mrs. William Becker, and their son and daughter, Albert and Hilda, sang three selections at the church and one at the grave. Miss Helen Nelson played the organ Reverend Schlitzkus spoke in the German language, and conducted the burial service at the grave.
A large concourse of people paid tribute to their departed friend and neighbor. There were many beautiful floral offerings.
Six grandsons of the deceased were the pall bearers; Harry Voltz, Bennett Voltz, Harold Bangs, Albert, Lyman and Conrad Eurich. The remains were laid to rest in the Andrew cemetery. There comes a time for all of us, When we must say goodbye, but faith and hope and love and trust can never; never die. Although the curtain falls at last, is that a cause to grieve? The future's fairer than the past if only we believe and trust in God's eternal care-so when the Master calls let's say that life is still more fair, although the curtain falls.
