Obituary

Mariea Louise Lindberg Hen
driz was born in Linda Parish,
Sweden, April II 1873, being at.
the time of her death 81 years. 3
months and six days old.
Mariea came to America in the
fall of 1892; coming direc+ to
Trego county making her home
with Eric Lindberg her brother
near Ogallah- After the coming
of Mariea to this home She took
charge of the family of children,
they being left by the death of
their mother few months prior
to the coming of Mariea. This
home has felt the touch of this
devoted sister whose life will
continue to live in them.
1t was not so long after the
coming of this girl to America
until all with whom she came in
contact felt the force of this
lovely character and felt there
was a woman whose heart beat
with sympathy toward all 1t
was her ambition to do good and
without gainsaying she was high
/ ly respected and esteemed by
all While possessed with such
excellent natural qualities her
christian character and life was
blameless; always carrying sun
shine and cheer, and good to
everyone; a good word for all,
and always devoted to her
church and God, making her a
superior character in the circle
where she moved None can say
Maliea was inconsistent in her
life and work for the church;
and the church will feel a loss
from which it will not soon re-
cover The taking away of such
a character from the community
only stimulates desire to initiate
for better living.
This grief came to the relatives
quite unexpectedly as well as to
the entire community She was
practically in the prime of life,
and until July II was in almost
perfect health when suddenly
she was taken sick while at her
work A phySian was called and
discovered she had appendicitis,
making an operation necessary
She was taken to the hospital at
Hays City on Friday, July Is, and
on Saturday morning, July IL
was operated on. She with
stood the operation well; and al
hoped for speedy recovery
when on the following Monday
about noon it was noticed she
: was failing and the end ap
J preached rapidly. In the eve
: ming at half past seven Marie;
went home to heaven Deatl
came so suddenly that but few
of her immediate friends were a
her side; her husband was
: present before she passed away
!, and soon others were there t.
1 afford assistance of whatever
kind to make the end peaceful
All was done that was possible
for her health and recovery, bu
, to no avail.

!. Hendrix December 2, 1908;
c little over year and sever
q months was spent enjoying thei
happy home. Mariea was Away
