Highly Respected Woman Passed Away in Local Hospital At 12:12 Monday Morning. Was Native Of Iowa Twp. Spent 23 years in York, and 13 years in Williamsburg; Died in her 64th year. Williamsburg and all her immediate neighborhood experienced a shock of real regret Monday morning when the word was passed over all the local telephone lines that Mrs. F. C. Newkirk had passed away in the Watts hospital at 12:20. The good woman had been ailing but little more than a week and had been a patient in the hospital less than a week. Her death was the result of an internal ailment that became manifest ten days before the coming of the end. She is survived by the husband and two sons Walter and Alfred, who reside on farms in York. She also leaves one sister and three brothers, Mrs. Mitchell and one brother residing at American Falls, Idaho, and one brother in Oregon.
The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon with a short service at the home at 1:30, followed by the regular service in St. Paul's Lutheran church at 2 o'clock, with the Rev. T. H. Joeckel officiating; Teacher Kamprathe of St. Paul's school at the organ, playing the accompaniments to the selections by the choir and the congregational singing. The sermon was in English and was taken from the text; John 6, 20: "But he saith unto them, It is I, be not afraid." The interment was in Immanuel's cemetery, York and the pallbearers were; H. W. Maas, John R. Thomas, Sam Roberts, Herman Wardenburg, W. R. Hakes, and R. W. Childress.
Elizabeth Cotant, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Cotant, was born on the Cotant homestead in Iowa Township on Jan. 17, 1873. she attended the home school and assisted with the work in the home. On August 9, 1892, she was united in marriage to Mr. Fred C. Newkirk of Iowa Township, and the home was made on a farm in York. In September, 1892, she was accepted to full membership in the Ev. Lutheran church and was baptized by the Rev. C. W. Baumhoefner, pastor of St. John's and in this faith she remained a most faithful member to the end of her days. The permanent home was made in York and here through long years she never lacked the love and esteem of the old community. She was a truly good wife and mother, and her sympathetic nature held her in the front rank as a neighbor, always ready and willing to help where help was needed. No character was ever wronged or injured by her tongue that was used only in praise and thus through her useful life she earned the prayers and praise of all who knew her. Her death was a loss to the communities she bettered, thru all the years and her splendid character lives after her as a blessed memory. Tho the bereaved husband and sons the tenderest sympathies are extended..
