Mary K. Claus, (nee Schmidt)
On Sunday morning, January 15, 1905, between 4 and 5 o=clock, the angel of death called at the home of Justus Claus, near Monroefield, Ohio and tore out of the midst of a loving family the beloved wife and mother, Mrs. Mary K. (Caroline) Claus, nee Schmidt. Having seen ailing for some time, she welcomed death as the liberator from all evil, and saw in it a means of being united with her Savior. She was born in Malaga township, Monroe County, Ohio, August 5, 1847. In 1867, on the 7th of February, she was united in the bonds of matrimony with Mr. Justus Claus. This union was blessed with 10 children - - 6 daughters and 4 sons, one of whom preceded his mother into eternity. Her husband, 9 children, 10 grandchildren and one brother mourn her departure. The remains were laid to rest in the Miltonsburg cemetery, Miltonsburg, Ohio on Tuesday, January 17. Funeral services conducted by the Reverend F. A. Meusch of Miltonsburg. Tis hard to break the tender cord, When love has bound the heart; Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words, Must we forever part? Dearest loved one we have laid thee, In the peaceful grave=s embrace, But the memory will be cherished Till we see thy heavenly face. Justus Claus and children.
