MRS. HENRY HERBST IS CALLED BEYOND
Beloved Nachusa Woman Is Summoned To Heavenly Home.
Mrs. Henry Herbst, a most highly respected resident of Nachusa township, passed away at her home in that village at noon yesterday, her passing bringing grief to a host of friends who have loved her for years.
The funeral service will be held at the Nachusa church at 2 p.m. tomorrow, Rev. Heisey officiating, and with burial in the Dunkard cemetery at Nachusa.
Obituary.
Mrs. Elizabeth (White) Herbst was born in Gettysburg, Pa., Oct. 9, 1830. She was admitted into full membership in the church in St. James Evangelical Lutheran church of Gettysberg by the solemn rites of confirmation May 14, 1853. Her connection with the Lutheran church was never broken. At the time of her death she was a member of the Lutheran church at Nachusa, IL., having thus been a member of the church of her choice for more than 60 years.
She was united in marriage to Henry Herbst at Gettysburg Oct. 22nd 1857, and had she lived but one day longer they would have completed 56 years of wedded life.
To them were born nine children, seven sons and two daughters.
One daughter, Adeline, died in infancy; the other, Annie, was spared to minister to her mother in her declining days. The sons are Edgar F., Nachusa; Joseph W., Dixon; Samuel H., Amboy; Harvey B., John S. and Robert E., of Nachusa.
The eight children with their venerable father, who is 86 years of age, mourn her death. There are also eight grandchildren and one great-grand child, a brother in Ottawa, Kas., and a sister in Alliance, Neb. of her immediate family who survive her.
With her husband and family she came to this community Feb. 28th 1884, and this was her home until she was called to her heavenly home at noon, Oct. 22, 1913, at the ripe age of 83 years and 12 days.
"Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age like a shock of corn cometh in his season."
