J.B. ABRAHAM (sic)
John Bernard, son of Jonas and Carrie Abraham (sic), was born in Sweden April 10, 1880 and departed from this life at his home in Wayne, Kans. last Sunday morning at eleven o'clock (NOTE: the next sentences are out of order, but typed as written in newspaper) - years, 10 months and 17 days. He February 27, 1921, at the age of 40 - came to America with his parents at the age of 8 years and since that time has lived the most of the time in and around Wayne, where he has formed acquaintances and associations that will be lasting. He has been respected and loved by those who knew him and although the life has gone from our midst, he being dead yet speaketh.
He was married December 24, 1909 to Miss Minnie May (sic) League and to this union was born 2 boys, Woodrow age 7 and Franklin, age 3. He leaves to mourn their irreparable loss his devoted companion and two boys, he also leaves in bereavement a loving mother who will mourn for her departed child.
The father departed this life about 19 years ago. He also leaves three brothers, Henry of Denver, Colo, Alof and Clarence of near Wayne, Kans., and three sisters, Mrs. Carrie Schaum'lappel (sic) of Rosalia, Kans., Mrs. Marie Cochson of Hollis and Mrs. Ida Nelson of Wayne. One brother, Axtel (sic), preceded him to the heavenly home about five years ago.
He for the past four years has been engaged in the business life of Wayne, being postmaster and a few months ago purchased a stock of groceries. He was a firm believer in answered prayer, carrying even the least of his business affairs to the throne, believing that "if any man lack wisdom let him ask of God who giveth to all men liberally and upbradeth not and it shall be given him."
He has been a sufferer the greater part of his life. He received a paraletic (sic) stroke about two years ago from which he never recovered fully. Some weeks ago he was chosen as teacher of the junior Bible class at the Swedish M.E. church (sic) of Wayne feeling his suffering and meet the responsibility he leaned heavily upon the Lord whose grace proved efficient. Last Sunday morning he went to church feeling unusually well and while teaching his class he received another paraletic (sic) stroke which was greater than his physical endurance and in about one half hour he left this temple of clay and slipped away to his reward.
He has left monuments erected in Wayne that will outlast structures of marble or granite and the legacy of a devoted Christian life will no doubt prove a greater blessing and his loved ones than glittering gold.
Funeral services were held at the Wayne Swedish Methodist church (sic) on March 1st at 2 o'clock conducted by Rev. Shievers of Hollis and Rev. Harris of Wayne. Rev. Shivers bringing the message from Psalms 78:24. Thou sholt guide me with they council and afterwards receive me to glory." The service was largely attended, all the seating capacity was filled.
