"THEODOSIA QUEIN DIES
Theodosia Quein, 16-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Quein, formerly of Beatrice, but now residents of Potter, passed away Monday night at her home, according to a brief dispatch received here Tuesday morning by her aunt, Mrs. O.L. Beeson. The message gave pneumonia as the cause of her death and stated that her illness lasted but a few days. No details were available Tuesday."
"OBITUARY
Theodosia Quein
Theodosia Louise, only daughter of John R. and Mattie Quein, was born at Beatrice, Nebr., July 4, 1908.
In her infancy she was baptized in the Methodist church and early in childhood identified herself with that denomination.
At the age of ten she went with her parents to make her home on a ranch eighteen miles north of Potter, Nebr. When ready to enter hight school she went with her mother to Kimball where she attended school for two years, later, however, she entered the high school at Potter. There failing health soon forced her from school for a time, but upon partially recovering her health she resumed her studies and would have completed her high school course May 19 of this year.
But on April 28 she was obliged to remain from school on account of a severe cold which so aggravated her old diabetic trouble that her strength was not equal to the strain. Pneumonia soon developed and though every thing humanly possible was done for her relief, she sank very rapidly; almost before the community was aware of her illness, she had gone.
To her many friends, the senior class of the Potter High school, the Sunday school class which she taught so faithfully, and the family circle, her going is a sad fact, but her joyous spirit lives. She was an out-of-door girl her pride in her horsemanship, her tenderness for animals, her keen appreciation of the moods of nature, her love of the open range expressed her buoyant happy spirit; but with all her eagerness for the out-of-doors she loved the intimate within-ness of the home and it was there that the loving heart of her expressed itself in fullness of service to those whom she loved and made her parents doubly rich in her possession.
On May third her soul was quietly and peacefully released from her frail body, to venture into the larger life of Him who said, "I am the resurrection and the life."
Funeral services were held May 5 from Centenary Methodist church, Beatrice. The use of the Shepherd's Psalm, the songs of Messrs. Johnson and Kenagy and the tender message of Rev. McCaskill, completed the last chapter of her earthly life and just two weeks before her anticipated graduation from high school her body was laid to rest on the hillside.
Honorary pallbearers were Jane Elizabeth Robertson, Verona Fellers, Maxine Nelson, Geraldine Pease, Alice Sprague and Hilda Bell. The pallbearers, E. F. Nelson, H. E. Sackett, A. H. Kidd, G. M. Culver, Wallace Robertson and Dr. C. A. Spellman."
