MRS. LAWRENCE ADRIAN
The Death Angel came to the relief of Mrs. Lawrence Adrian Friday evening at 9 p.m. and another pioneer has passed quietly into the Great Beyond after many weeks of patient suffering in the heroic struggle for life. Last spring Mrs. Adrian was stricken with a serious malady which finally claimed her life. For a time she seemed to be recovering but in the last few weeks she realized that recovery was impossible and was contented in thought of meeting her Redeemer in whom she had such great faith while on earth.
Margaret Gross was born May 15, 1835, in Sarba County, Germany, and died at the home of her son Peter Adrian, Sr., Nov. 2, 1923, at the age of eighty-seven years and seven months and 17 days. She came to this country with her parents at the age of 18, with whom she settled in Burlington, Iowa later moving to Keota, where she met and married Lawrence Adrian, Sept. 18, 1862, who preceded her in death thirty years ago.
By this marriage she became the foster mother of seven children, two of whom died several years ago. Mrs. Adrian is survived by two sisters.
She was a loving mother and wife and lived a quiet unassuming life, and her taking away is deplored by a large number of friends and acquaintances. She cast a ray of sunshine wherever she went by her words of comfort and cheer.
St. Peter and Paul's church at Clear Creek, Iowa, in which funeral services were held Monday, November 5, at 9:30 o'clock, conducted by Father Sendbuehler and Father Luedtke, after which the body was laid to rest in the adjacent cemetery. The casket was borne from her home to the church by her twelve great grandsons, followed by the Christian Mothers Society of which she was a faithful member during life.
