• Notes

  _P_CCINFO 2-14330 From THE COLUMBUS (NE.) JOURNAL, October 14, 1891- ERB--Last Friday night at half-past eight Minnie, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Erb, was taken from our midst to that brighter home beyond. She was taken sick at 9 o'clock in the morning of the same day; was at school the day before, but complained of a headache. Congestion of the brain was the cause of her death. She was unconscious from the first. Minnie was born on Shell Creek, Colfax county, April 28, 1882. She was a bright and intelligent girl beloved by all that knew her. The grief of her mother and brothers and sisters cannot be expressed in words. But a year and a few months since, her father died. She was papa's baby and could not live without him, so she left this world of trouble and has gone to join him in that heavenly home where she will know no sorry [sic], where she will know no care. The funeral took place from her mother's residence, two miles east of Columbus, and from there to the German Reformed church. Services were conducted by Rev. Fleischer and assisted by Rev. Elliott of the Presbyterian church. The funeral was attended by a very large number of friends and schoolmates. Miss Cal. Welch, her teacher, attended with her school in a body and strewed her casket with beautiful flowers; six little boys, her schoolmates, acted as pall bearers, and all that was mortal of our darling little Minnie was laid to rest by the side of her father, in the Columbus Cemetery.
