On Sunday, December 21, 1902, at St. Francis hospital in Wichita, Kansas, Miss Anna Marie Schaub, aged 33 years, 3 months and 10 days.

A few years ago Miss Schaub was thrown from a horse and sustained injuries which, with other complications, led to a long siege of sickness and much suffering. She had been in St. Francis hospital for a little over 7 months and had undergone several severe operations. Her suffering was borne with remarkable fortitude; never was she known to utter a word of complaint and her cheerful disposition and lovable character was never more beautifully shown than during her long period of sickness. She possessed a rare degree of culture and amiability. The circle of her friends was only limited by the extent of her acquaintance. She was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Schaub, of Rumsey tp. Her father died a little over a year ago.

Anna Marie Schaub was born in Ferdenheim, Providence of Alsace, in France, on September 11, 1869. At the age of 5 she came with her parents to America, settling at Streator, Illinois. From Illinois the family moved in 1888 to Comanche co., She had been a member of the Presbyterian church since 1872, and had lived a consistent Christian life. Death occurred at 3:10 a.m. on last Sunday. Burial was made in the family lot in the Coldwater cemetery at 3 p.m. on Monday, a large number of the friends of the deceased being present. The funeral services were in charge of Rev. W. L. Roberts, of the Presbyterian church.
