Funeral services yesterday at 11 o'clock in the home. From there they proceeded
to the church where the minister preached a funeral sermon, having chosen for
his text, John 11: 25-26.
In losing the estimable lady we lose one of the countrys developers in the line
of flowers. She grew many flowers that others did not know would grow in this
climate. A friend remarked that she never thought of Mrs. Schaich but she
thought of beautiful flowers. Her enjoyment of flowers was not only in the
possession of them but she always enjoyed giving them to her friends. One could
always count on her for baskets of such beautiful ones for Memorial, Easter,
etc. Many of her neighbors have some choice plant, vine or shrub growing in
their garden an ever lasting memorial to Mrs. Schaich.
