Obituary
Williamina Britzke was born at Stoevern, Germany, March 15, 1840, and passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George Sautter, Scotia, Nebr., June 2, 1927, at the age of 87 years, 2 months and seventeen days.
In 1862 she was married to William Meyer (sic). To this union were born three children; two sons, Herman and Louis and one daughter, Mrs. Annie Sautter, all of Scotia, Nebr.
In March 1883 she with her husband came to this country and settled at Archer, Nebr., from there they came to the vicinity of Scotia, where they lived on the farm until the year 1920, when they moved to town, making their home since then with the daughter, Mrs. Annie Sautter.
Shortly after they moved to the Fish Creek neighborhood, mother and father Wegner were both converted in the old sod school house where a cousin, Rev. Herman Wegner, was conducting religious services. They soon afterward joined the Evangelical church, being among the first members of the church at Fish Creek, where she still held her membership at the time of her death.
For a number of years she has been unable to attend the services of her church, being a sufferer with rheumatism for 14 years.
For many years she was a reader of the church periodicals.
During these latter years of suffering she kept her faith in God, and toward the close testified that she was going to Heaven.
She leaves to mourn her death, her husband, two sons, one daughter, 14 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.
The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. R. M. Reynolds.
Her remains were laid at rest at the Church Cemetery.
