Miss Lima Baer


On Sunday afternoon August Sth
the relatives of Miss Lima Baer, who
died at York, Nebraska on July 20,
gathered at the home of Mrs. G. j.
Gollmar to pay the last honor to the
deceased. Mrs. Clara T. Runge who
had kindly consented to say few
words on the occasion paid tribute to
the memory of Miss Baer dwelling on
her sterling qualities and indicating
that the faithful performance of ones
simple duties, lays the foundation for

Coming to this country when nearly
forty years of age, she took up the
study of the English language and
soon acquired a very good command of
it in written as well as spoken form.
In religion Miss Baer was a Ration
and permanent. Right for rights sake
not for future reward or punishment
appealed to her conscience and the
immortality of the race and the type
satisfied her thought. AS the Oldest
of a large family, there was develop
ed in her that helpfulness which new
er failed her family and friends in
time of need and which found its
highest expression in the motherly
devotion with which for many years
she cared for the children of a blind
mother.
Lima Baer was born in Switzerland
on June 8, 1916. In 1885 she came to
Baraboo to which place her parents,
brothers and sisters Lac preceded her
and here she made her home.
On June % last she suffered d
stroke of paralysis from which she
never recovered passing away on the
20 of July at ire home of her brother
Charles Baer in York, Nebraska. In
fulfilment of her wishes the remains
in the Baraboo cemetery.
Two sisters and brother have pre-
coded her in death; Of those remain
ing Charles and Henry Baer live in
York, Nebraska, Alfred in Kenyon,
Mimi. Arnold and Emma in California
Mrs. Chas. Horstman in Minneapolis,
while Otto Baer, Mrs. Chas.. kunzle-
man and Mrs. G. J. Gollmar live in
