Lake Odessa Wave – Thursday, 23 September 1937
Mrs. Anna Schelter, a lifelong resident of Woodbury, passed away at her home 
last Friday.  She was a devoted member of the Evangelical church, near the 
village, and leaves many close friends besides her adopted daughter Mrs. 
Gertrude Corey and one brother David Smith of Lake Odessa.  There are several 
nieces and nephews.  The daughter has been her comfort since she took her when 
she was a little child.

The funeral was held at the Evangelical church Monday afternoon with the 
pastor Rev. G. E. Klopfenstein officiating.  A quartet composed of Benj. 
Schneider, Harold Smith and the Bates brothers furnished the singing.  Burial 
was at Lakeside cemetery.

And thou are crowned at last.”
