The death of Mrs. Lewis Annan which was announced in the Herald last week, caused a profound wave of genuine sympathy for the bereaved husband and children to sweep over this community. The death was so unexpected and the bereavement so irreparable and sad, that a great many hearts were touched more deeply than is usual in the announcement of a death. Mr. and Mrs. Annan were married April 22, 1891, and their home has all these years been on the farm just north of town. Six children are left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother and the seventh, whose coming into this world resulted in the mother's death, was buried in the same grave with the mother. Of the children the six range in ages from Ethel I., a splendid young woman of nineteen, down to Mary N., of two years. All of the children are strong and will be a great source of comfort to the father who is how called upon to bear a double portion of responsibility in the care of the children. Mrs. Annan's maiden name was Nevada L. Behm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Behm, and was born August 17, 1873, in Pennslyvania. She came here with her parents in 1877, and the mortal remains are now resting in the "silent city" on the north side of town, while the real wife and mother in spirit dwells with her Maker, but the sweet influence of her life of love and sacrifice rests a benediction with her loved ones.
The funeral services were conducted by Dr. Stevenson, pastor of the Methodist society of which Mrs. Annan was a devoted member. Her brothers, John, of Shenandoah, and Jacob, of St. Louis, were here to attend the funeral, but her brother, Cleve, of Buffalo, N. Y., did not reach here in time. The loss of a devoted and loving daughter is a severe shock to Mr. Wm. Behm, and he also has the sympathy of a very large circle of friends. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 18, 1911
