"Henry Schroeder, of Valley township, returned to Paola last Tuesday from Fairmont, Oklahoma, where he had been to attend the funeral of his sister-in-law, Mrs. William Schroeder, whose death occurred December 1st. Mrs. Schroeder, who before her marriage was Gesche Timken, was well known in the vicinity of Block, in this county, having lived here for many years with her parents, Jacob and Katrine Timken. The deceased was born in Benton county, Missouri, November 15, 1852, and came with her parents to Block when quite young. She was married thirty-five years ago to Wm. Schroeder at Block, and for the past twenty years they have made their home in Oklahoma. The many friends of the Schroeder family in the county will sincerely regret to learn of her death. Mrs. Schroeder is survived by her husband and four children: John, William, Jr., Mrs. Amelia Miesner, and Mrs. Anna Wiesman, all of whom live near Fairmont. Three brothers, Louis Timken, of Kansas City; Cord Timken, of Newkirk, Oklahoma; and John Timken, of Beaver county, Oklahoma, and one sister, Mrs. Katrine Gerken, of Fairmont, also survive. The burial was in the cemetery in that town Friday, December 4th."
