Notes
a. Note:   MOTHER'S PRAYER BOOKS*
  Mother brought these prayer books with her when she came from Germany. They were old books then. She came ot Frankfort, Indiana in 1886 -- and then came out to marry dad in 1887 -- who had come in 1884 - 5. Mother was 17 when she came. She came to help care for two children whose mother was ill. The father was a former Paster that mother's family knew in Germany. He couldn't find a girl that could speak German -- and so prevailed upon Mom to come for a year -- and then he would pay her way back home for her. These books have been coverless as long as I can remember. Selma Diehm
  * These small books are in the possession of her nephew, Harold Diehm.
  OBITUARY
  Called to Her Reward The subject of this sketch Mrs. Anna Diehm, was born in Niclashausen, Baden, Germany on September 26, 1861, where she grew to womenhood. In 1883 she came to the U.S. and, for a while, made her home with a cousin at Fort Wayne, Ind. In 1886 she came to Nebraska and was united in marriage to Ferdinand Diehm, moving on a farm south west of Sterling, where they made their home until about three years ago when they retired from the farm and moved to Sterling where they have since resided. To this union six* children were born, five of whom are still living, three daughters and two sons who with the husband are left to mourn the departure of a good wife and a loving mother.
  After moving to town her health began to fail her. Late last fall she underwent an operation, but this failed to restore her to health. She was a sufferer of asthma which with a bad cough, shortened her days together with a weak heart. She slowly got weaker until the end came Monday March 27, at 10:45 P.M. 1922.
  The funeral services will be held today from St. Johns Lutheran church, Rev. E. Schroeder officiating at 1 o'clock p.m. and interment will be in the Granite Hill cemetery in the Hopewell community. The Sun joins with the many friends of this estimable family in extending condolence to them in this their hour of sadness.
  Note: When her son, Gustave, died, Eva's body was moved from Granite Hill Cemetery to Sterling Cemetery.
  * This reference in Anna's obituary to six children is the only place I have found that says they had more than five children.
