Mrs. Emil E. Backer - Blanche Dickbrader Backer was born in Washington, Mo., December 8, 1878 and died June 14, 1942 at the St. Francis hospital at 2:15 p.m., having attained the age of 63 years, 6 months and 6 days. She was the daughter of Henry J. Dickbrader and his wife, Lucinda Mann Dickbrader. She attended school in Washington and the State Teachers College in Warrensburg, Mo., after which taught in the public schools in Washington. On December 25, 1916, she was united in marriage to Emile E. Backer. Surviving her are her devoted husband, one brother, J. Harry Dickbrader; two sisters, Mrs. Lillian Arcularius and Mrs. Luella D. Harges; four nieces, two grand nieces, two grand nephews and a host of loving friends. Her friends knew her to be kind and gentle and marvelled at the indomitable will power that sustained her throughout long years of declining health. Her keen zest for life showed how much she loved it. She grasped this priceless gift of life tenaciously, sheltered and protected by the untiring kindness of her devoted husband and the ministrations of a loving sister. Hers was a quick sympathy for the lowly, a generous open hand for the poor and a great capacity for friendship. Fortright and affectionate she will be long remembered with tender regard by all who new her. As the sand of life, were running low she dreamed that her friends, who had gone before, were calling her. Though reluctant to depart to that abode for whence there's no returning, at the call of the Master which can never be denied, she left us to enter "The land that is fairer than day Where the Father waits over the wave, To prepared us a dwelling place there." Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon, June 16, 1942 from Otto & Co. Funeral Home, Rev. Chester E. Yoes officiating and interment in the Odd Fellow cemetery.
