ASPINWALL Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Ohde Funeral home in Manning for Mrs. Louis Schroeder of Aspinwall, who died on Thursday morning, August 17, 1950, at her home. Rev. C.W. Schmidt, pastor of Denison, was in charge.

Mary Lemester, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Lemester, was born in Renvas, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany on March 6, 1873. She came to this country at the age of two years with her parents. They lived mostly in and around Westside.

On February 24, 1893, she was married to Louis Schroeder. To this union six children were born: William, Amanda (Mrs. Hans Clausen); Emma (Mrs. John Schilling); Harry, all of Aspinwall, and Florence (Mrs. Henry Thomssen), of Manilla. One daughter, Margaret, preceded her in death. The deceased was baptized in the Lutheran faith and in 1939, upon confirmation she became a member of the Denison Lutheran Church.

The family lived in and around Aspinwall almost all of their married life. She had not been in the best of health for many years. She became bedfast about seven weeks ago and during that time her relatives took care of her in her home. She is survived by her widower, her two sons and three daughters and 14 grandchildren.
