Claus, Fredrick Claus
Monroe County Beacon,
.
Sweetly rest from all thy labor,
Far from every grief and pain;
We will often think about you,
While we here, on earth remain.
That life is not entirely lived on this earth was proved again
when the Angel of Death took from our midst, a dear father and friend, whom we
all cherished and loved. To die with the faith that makes death seem a sweet
relief means that life is only to begin. When death claims the earthy house of
the soul therefore let us not weep but rather thank God that he gave this dear
father and friend that faith and Maker of life.
Fredrick Claus, born
On
The following have preceded him in death; his wife and two
sons, William H. and Clemence G.; surviving are 3 daughters, Mrs. Anna
Christman, Mrs. Minnie Egger and Mrs. Clara Christman, all of Lewisville, Route;
and four sons, Edwin F. and Benjamin H. Claus of Iowa; Leroy A. and Gilbert C.
Claus, of Lewisville Route. There are 24 grandchildren surviving, and four have
preceded him in death; also 5 great grandchildren survive, and 2 great
grandchildren have preceded him in death; four brothers and a sister have also
gone before.
May we realize that our loss is eternal gain. May God help us
to live a faithful life so we may enter that world where death nor sorrow ever
come.
He bore his suffering with great patience to the end. At last
his spirit left his frail body to return to God who gave it. He laid down the
Cross he carried so long and picked up the crown he had won.
Those who attended the funeral from a distance were: Mr. and
Mrs. John Haffner, son of John and daughter Mildred, of Harriettsville; Mrs.
Charles Ullman, of
.
Beneath our eyes he fadeth slowly.
Growing, day by day, more frail,
Bearing sweetly all his sufferings
Without murmur, moan of wail.
In the household many sorrows,
That
his race so soon is run,
But we should not mourn for father,
As
the Savior bids him come.
We loved him, yes, we loved him,
But his Savior loved him more.
So the angels sweetly called him
To
that bright and happy shore.

Turns again home.
