OBITUARY
Catherine F. Etzel was born at Hoefingen Wurtemberg, December 25, 1862 and died at Horace, Nebraska, December 26, 1925. She came to the United States at the age of eighteen. Two years later, June 26, 1883, she was married to Albert R. Rux, at Newberg, Iowa. They moved to Greeley County, Nebraska, in 1901 and have resided near Horace since that time. Mr. Rux passed away October 19, 1911.
Mrs. Rux was confirmed in the German Lutheran church when 14 years of age. After coming to this country, not always finding her own church in the community in which she resided she worked faithfully for the protestant churches near her home. She has gallantly carried her cross for Christ in the church at Horace, and has always been anxious for the Lord's work to be advanced there.
She was dearly beloved by all and the spirit of her faithful life will always be remembered.
Since God in his wisdom has called her to live in her heavenly home her friends must now endeavor to step into her place of love and service to others.
May the crown we receive from the hand of God be dotted with even a few of the many jewels gleaming from her crown of righteousness which the great Judge has placed upon her worthy brow.

“Mother's gone,” they sadly murmur.
“And this world seems strangely drear;
“How we loved her – how we'll miss her -
for to each she was so dear
'We shall meet, but we shall miss her,
There will be her empty chair;
And we'll ever think with longing
Of the form that rested there.
Mother's gone and we're so lonely -
Mother – sweetest name e'er spoke;
In her love our hearts found shelter
When life's storms and tempests broke,
Mother's gone, the Master called her,
He who died her soul to save,
And she's gone in triumph homeward
Though her path lay through the grave.”

CARD OF THANKS
We kindly thank the many friends who so graciously helped us at the time of our sad bereavement. We especially wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Will Welsh, who gave the use of their home for our mother. Surely the kindnesses shown us are but a manifestation of the spirit of Christ thru those who serve him.
