MRS. WARD VER VALIN

Mrs. Ward Ver Valin died at her home in Loup City Monday evening after an illness of several months. About a year ago her health began to fail and she continued to decline. In December, 1918, it was learned that her heart was very bad and that hardening of the arteries had progressed to the stage where a cure was impossible. Everything that could be done was done to give her relief. She began to fail in strength several weeks ago and an attack of pneumonia hastened her death, which was directly due to uric acid poisoning.
Susie M. Wagner, youngest daughter of Margaret and Rev. W. H. Wagner was born at Taylorsville, Fayette county, Iowa, January 12, 1875 and died at Loup City, Nebraska, January 13, 1919, being one day over 44 years old.
When a young girl she moved to Cheyenne county, Nebraska, where her father had taken up a homestead. She attended the county school near her home and took terms in the high school at Cozad, Nebraska. On her return to her home she taught school near Redington for several years.
In the summer of 1893 she united with the U. B. Church of Redington, Nebraska, of which church her father was pastor.
On March 7, 1894 she and Ward Ver Valin were married at her father's home south of Redington, and at once went to housekeeping on a homestead also near Redington. On this homestead her eldest daughter Marcia was born. Her second daughter Opal, was born at Lodgepole when her husband was principal of the high school. Her son, Hugh was born at Bayard.
September 1, 1903, she arrived at Loup City, where her husband had gone to work for the Keystone Lbr. company. When the First Presbyterian church of Loup City was organized, she became one of the charter members and remained a member until her death.
In the summer of 1910 she moved to Mitchell, South Dakota, but moved back to Loup City in the spring of 1912, where she has since resided.
Besides her children and husband she has one sister, Mrs. B. E. Barden of Chimney Rock, Nebr., and five brothers: Rev. E. F. Wagner of Litchfield, Wm E. of Bayard and Amos, Chas., and Ben of Potter to mourn her loss.
She was very active in Sunday school and church work until sickness caused her to give up her work. She was Superintendent of the Primary department of the Sunday school and was president of the Industrial society for a long time.
The community loses a noble character in the death of Mrs. VerValin and the sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved family.
Funeral services were conducted from the home Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J. Van Niece Bandy, having charge of the services. The Misses Depew furnished the music. Interment was made in Evergreen cemetery.
