Thirty Years Ago

The Week in Vass
I %
Mrs. Paul Qschwind, aged 72, be
loved woman of Vass, passed away at
her home here .shortly after ten
o’clock last Friday morning follow
ing an illness of about a month, her
death casting a pall of gloom over
the entire community where Mrs.
Gschwind had, by her kindly manner,
endeared herself to all with whom
she came in contact.
The funeral service was held from
the Vass Methodist church at 3:00
o'clock Saturday afternoon, conduct
ed by the pastor, the Rev. W. C.
Ball, and attended by a large con
course of friends. Active pall bearers
were four grandsons, Alvin, Robert,
Paul and Harry Laubscher, and Jos
eph Matthews and N. N. McLean.
Honorary pall bearers were W. B.
Graham, Alex Smith, H. C. Calla
han, W. H. Keith, W. D. Matthews,
W. D. Matthews and R. P. Beasley.
The granddaughters and other young
girls carried the lovely floral offer
ings. Interment was in the Johnson's
Grove cemetery.
Mrs. Gschwind was before marriage
Miss Anna Winkler and was reared
In Metzerland, Switzerland. As the
culmination of a romance which be
gan in sunny Switzerland, she sail
ed for America to become the bride
of Paul Gschwind who had come
across the waters some two years
before and had procured employment
in New York city, and they were
married in 1883. After making their
home in New York for some fifteen
years, the ill health of one of their
children made it necessary for them
to change their place of residence.

and search for a location for a new
home. He decided to settle in Vass,
bought a farm and brought his fam
ily here for a permanent home.

the South, could not speak a word of
English. German being the language
which bad always been spoken in her
home, but without any formal study
of English she was soon able to
speak, write and read the language.
After coming to Vass she united with
the Methodist church, and for many
years before her passing was one of
its most faithful attendants. Kind-
hearted, neighborly and e.\tremely
generous, she gained an enviable place
in the hearts of those around her, and
in her home, she toiled early and late
ministering to the needs and comfort
of her family.
Mrs. Gschwind became ill about a
month ago, and when it was seen
that shr failed to respond to treat
ment und the loving care bestowed
upon her by members of her house,
hold. Edd Gschwind, the only one of
her children living away from Vass,
was summoned from his home in Kan
sas City. He arrived on Monday of
last week and was with his mother
until the end, joining with the others
in doing everything possible for her
comfort.

daughters, Mrs. Emma Laubscher,
Mrs. William Klingenschmidt, Miss
Nettie Gschwind and Mrs. Pulius
Simpson; two sons, Charles and Ed
