Funeral of Mrs.. Amos Wyse

The funeral of Mrs. Amos Wyse was held from the Sugar Creek church Saturday morning at eleven o’clock and was largely attended.

The services were in charge of her pastor, Rev. Simon Gingerich, who spoke briefly in the German language. Rev. Gingerich delivered a splendid funeral sermon, having for his inspiration the life and service of the late Sebastian Gerig, father of the deceased and the much beloved and revered pastor of the Sugar Creek congregation for more than forty years.

She was very much like her father in many ways, having the same kindly interest in the welfare of others, the same generous impulse to help those in need and many families in the vicinity of her home will miss her cheerful, helpful presence in time of sickness or distress.

OBITUARY:

Luvina (Gerig) Wyse, daughter of the late Bishop Sebastian Gerig, was born near Wayland Iowa on March 3, 1882, died at her home near Wayland on March 17, 1926 aged 44 years and 14 days.

When she was 15 years old she accepted Christ as her personal Savior and united with the Mennonite Church. She was a faithful and active member of the Sugar Creek congregation until death.

On February 9, 1902, she was married to Amos Wyse. To this union were born two children, Olive and Maynard.

She became seriously ill with pleural pneumonia on Tuesday morning, March 16. After patiently enduring intense suffering for 48 hours, she was relieved from earthly pains and sorrow when her spirit quietly slipped away at 6:00 o’clock Wednesday evening.

She was a kind affectionate wife and mother. She will be greatly missed by her husband, 20 year old daughter, 11 year old son, aged mother (Mrs. S. Gerig), 2 brothers, Joseph of Springdale, Ark., and Jacob of Wayland, Iowa, 7 sisters, Mrs. C. M. Roth, Mrs. Anna Wyse, Mrs. D. W. Orendorff, Mrs. Eva Leichty, Mrs. A. D. Blosser, Mrs. Minne Sutter of Wayland, Iowa, Mrs. Jacob Eigsti of Morton, Illinois, and many other relatives and friends. Her father, one brother, Samuel, and one sister, Helena, preceded her in death.

Our home is deeply saddened by
Our mother’s sudden death. And no
Our path seems dark. We wonder why
She left us, but we humbly bow
To Him who called her over there
For He will ever for us care.
