Obituary
Died in this city, Nov. 5th, Mrs. Bertha Kuck, wife of Mr. John Kuck, in the 41st year of her age.
The deceased was born in Scharmberg Statal, Hanover, but emigrated to this country about the year 1856, and settled in Charleston, S.C. During the late war, she came with her husband to this city, and continued to reside here to the day of her death. In early life she was received, by confirmation, into full membership with the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and manifested by the blamelessness of her entire life the sincerity of her faith. Naturally of a meek and retiring disposition, her highest aspiration was to live peaceably with all mankind and walk humbly with her God. No other praise did she desire or seek for, than that which is to be derived from the consciousness of having endeavored to perform her duty as a Christian, wife and friend.
Her last illness, which was painfully protracted, she endured without a murmur and repeatedly did she say to her Pastor, “Not my will, but His be done.” Faith in the divine Lord and Redeemer had dispelled from her mind all fear of death, so that when the summons came, it found her waiting and ready to depart. This weary sufferer, in this now at rest with her little Martin, who had preceded but three weeks, and her other children, which one by one God had taken to himself.
Her fond husband and her only living child, together with the Church she so dearly loved, realize sensibly the greatness of the loss they have sustained in her death. “Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.”
