MRS. SCHNASE TAKEN HOME
Body of Young Wife Taken to Girlhood Home for Funeral
It was a sorrowful journey started here Monday by a bereaved mother, and a heartbroken husband accompanying the remains of their loved one—daughter and wife— back to her girlhood home in Naperville, Ill.
Mrs. Maud Eleanor Schnase, wife of Elmer Schnase, well-known farmer near Bath, died Saturday at 11:30 p.m. Mrs. William Hey, her mother had been here for several weeks returning to the Illinois home with the husband for burial. Short funeral services were held in Wilson’s chapel at 11 Monday, Rev. S. A. Strutz officiating.
Mrs. Schnase was born in Naperville July 3, 1892, a few years later moving to Aurora where she was educated in the public schools. In 1907 she returned to Naperville and Northwestern college where she became acquainted with Elmer Schnase. They were married December 28, 1910, and began housekeeping upon his beautiful farm in this county. The husband survives with an infant daughter born the day of the mother’s death.
