Norwalk Reflector Heralk
As the sun was sinking in the West at the close of a perfect June day, the 
shadow of death closed the life of Odessa Anna Kohlmeyer Wenesday.  The end 
came ofter a prolonged and gallant struggle, in which everything known to 
skill and science had been done; and buoyed up by a spirit so serene and 
lovely and uncomplaining that it was as though the Lord had given his beloved 
sleep.
The duaghter of the late Charles and Anna Bailey Kohlmeyer, Odessa was born in 
Norwalk May 25, 1904 and dwelt here all her life.  Four years ago she took a 
position in the printing department of The Reflector Herald and her 
efficiency, loyalty and splendid spirit were inspirations to those with whom 
she was associated.  Fully half her life she was afflicted by illnesses that 
finally sapped the physical strength though not the spirit.  Devoted sisters 
did all humanly possible to assuage her suffering and to bring her health; all 
the skills of the Cleveland Clinic availed nothing.  Through it all her 
sublime character shone forth, and those who watched and prayed, marveled.
She is survived by five sisters; Mrs. J. Arnold Hagdohl and Mrs. Thad Walton, 
of Norwalk; Mrs. Irwin Meyer and Mrs. Esther Baker, Bellevue; and Mrs. Calvin 
Francis, with whom she made her home; twelve nieces and nephews.
She was from youth a member of the Lutheran faith and staunch in her faith.  
None exemplified the Golden Rule better than she.  And life for her was so 
simple, so direct, so honest, that friends and family were devoted to her, and 
their loss falls today with a crushing blow.
