GEO. BIEGERT FUNERAL RITES AT GREENWOOD
Prominent Greenwood Man Dies After Lingering Illness of Five Years
Funeral services for George Biegert were conducted Sunday, November 30 from 
the home and at two o'clock at the Greenwood German Lutheran Church, Rev. 
Haar officiating.  Internment was made in the church cemetery.  Mr. Biegert 
passed away at his home from the effects of a stroke, on Wednesday, November 
27 (1935).  
George Biegert was born August 5, 1856 in Dundenheim, Germany the second 
oldest son of John Biegert and his wife Marie nee Haester.  He was baptized 
and confirmed in his native place.  In 1882 he together with his father and 
his brothers and sisters came to America, residing first in Charles City, 
Iowa, and soon thereafter settling in here in Greenwood.  On May 20, 1885 he 
married Magdalene Kettenacker.  This union was blessed with four children.  
On December 24, 1921 his wife preceded him in death.  The deceased could 
hardly realize at first his beloved life-companion had been translated to her 
eternal home.  However, as every true believer in Christ, he humbly submitted 
to God's good and gracious will and ways, and experienced the truth that all 
things work together for good to them that love God.  Thus with thanksgiving 
to God he always remembered his sainted wife.  
The deceased enjoyed good health until about five years ago when he at times 
suffered from the effects of rheumatism and also partially lost his sense of 
hearing.  But he daily read his Bible and said his prayers, through which he 
received the grace, strength and comfort of the Lord.  He had found peace 
with God through the blood and patiently waited for the Lord to deliver him 
from all evil and present him unto his heavenly kingdom.  And sooner that he 
himself and his children expected, this hope was fulfilled.  A week ago last 
Monday due to a stroke he fell unconsciously into the cement floor in the 
barn where he had been doing some chores.  His son found him and immediately 
carried him to the house.  He regained his consciousness and the following 
day prepared himself for a blessed departure by receiving the Sacrament of 
Christ's body and blood.
