Oct. 15, 1918 aged 46 years.Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Sherer who with one brother Luther passed her in death. September 12, 1894 she was married to Fred Trautwein, two daughters came to bless this home. Mrs Freda Reeve of El Dara and Mrs. Charle Dolbeare who is at home with her father while her husband is in the United States Army. These two daughters and the husband, two grandchildren, two nices, who she raised and a host of relatives and friends mourn their loss. In early life she became a Christian and united with the Methodist church of El Dara and was a faithful member the rest of her life. She made her religion practical and her neighbors rise up and call her blessed as they water her grave with tears. She was an excellent mother and truly a helpmate to her husband. She will be greatly missed. A short funeral service was conducted at the Taylor Martin cemetery Friday afternoon, burial was made in the family lot. A good neighbor, a loving wife and mother has been taken from our midst and all join in sympathy for the bereaved family.
