Lowell Ledger, 28 Mar 1940

Nellie Mae Klahn was born in Boston Township, Ionia County, Michigan, Feb. 15,
1893.  She lived in the farm home until the fall of 1927 when she moved with her
mother and sister to the home where she lived until the time of her death, March
12, 1946 at the age of 47 years and 12 days.  Nellie taught school about four
years.  In 1912 she joined the South Boston Congregational Church and remained a
faithful member as long as the church organization existed.  Last year she
joined the Alto Methodist Aid Society.  She leaves to mourn their loss one
sister, Mildred, who is left alone in the home, one brother Laverne and wife and
family residing on the home place in Boston township, besides numerous relatives
and friends.  Nellie had an unselfish character and gave freely of her time and
strength to care for her mother during her last years.  She was carried to her
last resting place by six of her cousins.  Funeral services were held at the
Roth Chapel and were conducted by Rev. R. C. Johnson of Elmdale.  Burial was in
the South Boston cemetery.  Relatives from a distance who attended the funeral
were: Mr. and Mrs. Levi Curtis of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. Alton Nye, John Shumway
and daughter, Mrs. LeRoy Cat, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Kontz and Alton Klahn all of
Lake Odessa.
  A precious one from us has gone,
  A voice we loved is stilled;
  A place is vacant in our home,
  Which never can be filled.
  
  God in His wisdom has recalled
  The boon His love has given;
  And though the body slumbers now,
  The soul is safe in Heaven.
  
  “Words hard, so hard, to speak them
  When love has bound the heart.
  “Tis hard, so hard, to speak them
  “We must on this earth part.”

  Dearest loved one, we must lay thee
  In the peaceful grave’s embrace,
  But the memory will be cherished
  “Til we see thy heavenly face.

Card of Thanks:  We wish to express our heartfelt thanks for the kindness and
sympathy sown to us during the passing of our sister, by our relatives, friends
and neighbors.   Mildred Klahn, Verne Klahn and family.
