We are gathered this afternoon to receive the comfort and consolation of God's word as we hold in loving memory Augusta Torbeck Schleufer, daughter of Reiner Torbeck and Christena Dirks Torbeck, born on December 6, 1887 on a farm in the Auburn, Nebraska vicinity. She was one of eleven children.
On March 4, 1888 she was baptized at the Febing Methodist Church near Auburn. Following instructions in God's word she confessed and confirmed her faith on March 23, 1902 at St. John Lutheran Church, Route 1, Auburn, Nebraska (the old Stone Church).
On April 23, 1909 Augusta was united in marriage to Mr. J. Henry Schleufer at St. John's Lutheran Church (the Stone Church) Route 1, Auburn, Nebraska. To this union, three sons and three daughters were born. God in His Grace permitted this marriage to continue for over 63 tears.
In 1916 the Schleufers were living in the Nora area and transferred their church membership to Salem Lutheran, Rt. 2, Superior. They have continued as faithful members of the congregation. Mrs. Schleufer was also an active member of Circle I or Ladies Aid Group. She was a kind and loving wife and mother.
According to God's wisdom and knowledge He called her from this earthly sojourn at the Good Samaritan Home in Superior on November 10, 1972 at the age of 84 years, 11 months and 4 days.
Her parents, 2 sons, Walter and Elmer and a daughter, Leona preceded her in death.
