Obituary

Mrs. Dortha Peterson Schmidt was
born in Sleiswick, Germany, in the
year of lS32-migrated to America
in 1882 and settled at hardwood Iowa
About eleven years ago she and her
husband moved to Canton, where Mr..
Schmidt died about two years ago and
last week Monday night Dec, BIRD a
little before the midnight hour
death called her over to the great
majority. Funeral services took
place at her home conducted by Rev.
Geo. Edw. Lewis OF the Congrega-
tional church on Friday morning, and
again at hardwood, Iowa where she
was buried.
Mrs. Schmidt leaves four sons and
one daughter to mourn her death.
Two of these Mr. d. H. and Mr. Fred
Schmjdtlive in Canton, Hans Schmidt
of hardwood Iowa and Anton Schmidt
OF Basha, Canada were also her sons.
The daughter being Mrs. S. Parks OF
Vita S. Oak
Mrs. Schmidt was a patient mother,
beloved neighbor, a soul filled with
fortitude which so often fills the
souls of those old and pain bearing
home makers and nation builders.
She will be missed and mourned for a
long while. One by one the pioneers
are crossing over the great and crystal

world lay in its shrould OF sin, the
hills of Palestine alone rejecting the
light of Divine hope, based on a
Divine promise that the seed of a
woman should crush the serpent's
head.
Since that far. off night in the gloom
of stable in Bethlehem, when the
Divine Babe rested in His Mothers
arms, the story of the Nativity shines
out from every page of history. If the
Nativity was the prelude to life of
poverty and humility, ending in the
ignominy of the Cross, it also was pre-
fatory to the joys Of Easter morn and
the splendors of Mount Tabor. 1t has
transformed the world. It's message
of Divide love has subdued and soft
ened, inspired and elevated, purified
and strengthened, the human heart.
1t has mitigated the horrors of the
battle field; relieved the gloom OF the
dungeon; assuaged the bed OF suffer-
ing; flooded the chamber OF death
with love from above and lighted the
path of the martyr 1T has given
strength to the weak, courage to the
timid, rest to the weary and solace to
the afflicted. 1t has ennobled poverty,
sanctified humility, made the home
the sanctuary OF purity and affection
and set the diadem not only OF hope
but of Heaven upon the brow OF
humanity. Bearing the inspiration of
Its spirit and infamed by its Divine
breath, men and women have gone
forth to savage lands, to emulate the
exam pie of the Master, to teach and
to suffer. to be tortured and to die.
Today it's effulgence envelops the
world and the lights Of love that
shine in tens of thousands of homes
and hospitals and churches have been
kindled on the altar OF the Father
hood of God and the Brotherhood Of
Man, built by it in the human heart.
The world will never weary Of the
story of Bethlehem 1t is the central
! fact in Christian faith and hope, the
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1913-01-03
