Obituary.
Wilhelmina Barth was born in the Province of Bavaria, Germany, May 28,
1843, of a family of ten children of whom five still survive her, three
brothers and two sisters, Michael and William Barth and Mrs. Elizabeth
Burgdorfer of Minonk, Ill., Henry of Sioux City, Iowa, and Mrs. Chas.
Fennertine of Hastings, Neb. In 1866 she with her brother, Henry, migrated
to America, settling in South Wimland, N. J., with her sister Maria. The
following year moving to Woodford county, Illinois, where she was united in
marriage to Conrad Kohl. To them were born eight children, six daughters
and two sons and two of them, Elizabeth and Thomas died.
In 1883 she with her husband with six remaining children moved to
Plymouth county, Iowa, where her oldest daughter, Mary, died in 1888 and her
husband on May 20, 1898, four daughters and one son still survive her, Mrs.
R. S. Eyres, Bena, Bertha, Minnie and Conrad. She has been a constant
sufferer from more than a year, until last Thursday at 6:40 a.m. she passed
away.
Mrs. Conrad Kohl was a woman of very strong character, true christian
spirit who cared not for the frivolities of this life, but one whose only
aim was to fulfill her mission, the sacred ties of her household, and duties
to those whom she met.
To her immediate family and those who knew her best she was most highly
respected and loved. Although passing through the hardest ordeals imposed
upon the sensitive heart of woman which was pierced by the cruel spear of
relentless criticism, and suffering the most excruciating pain of a cruel
cancer, which gave her neither rest or respite night or day for more than a
year. Yet not one can say that they heard her raise a complaint or murmur.
The heroic manner in which she met her end calls forth the most profound
admiration and sympathy of all. At the last when no longer able to
withstand the terrible agony as oft before in humble appeal, "Oh Lord, help
me. Not my will but Thine." her petition was answered and He took her to
Himself. Although the parting seems cruel and hard to her loved ones and
her wise council and sympathy will be missed, yet her life and death will be
an inspiration and a help to her dear ones in whose memory she will forever
dwell.
O'Leary--The funeral of Mrs. C. Kohl was largely attended at the
Presbyterian church Saturday at 2 p.m., the service being preached by Rev.
Dr. Carpenter and the remains laid to rest by the side of her husband in the
Union township cemetery. She had been a faithful member of the Presbyterian
church since its organization here and a host of friends mourn her loss with
the stricken family.
