OBITUARY

THETA MARIE MARQUART

Mrs. Theta Marie Marquart, nee Torbeck, daughter of Reiner Torbeck and his wife, Christina, nee Dirks, was born March 19, 1878, near Johnson, Nebraska. She was baptized on May 6, 1878, by Pastor F. Schumacher.
On February 15, 1900, she was united in marriage to Mr. Ernest Marquart and they made their home on a farm southwest of Johnson, Nebraska. It was here that she was instructed in the Christian faith and was confirmed by Reverend C. Deubler.
In 1902, Mr. and Mrs. Marquart moved to a farm northwest of Byron, where she lived until her death on Sunday forenoon, August 20, at the age of 72 years, 5 months, and 1 day. Her husband preceded her in death about 3 weeks ago. Mrs. Marquart had been ill for over a year and the past few weeks she began to fail rapidly until she was called from this vale of tears and pain.
She and her husband had the rare privilege to observe their golden wedding anniversary on February 15. Their children, relatives and friends came to honor this aged couple. For many years they were members of Zion Lutheran Church north of Byron.
She leaves to mourn her death, seven children, Mrs. Christina Ritterling, Diedrich and Reiner, all near Deshler, Elmer near Ruskin, William, Rudolf and Ernest Jr., all near Byron; a foster-son, Harold Torbeck; 17 grandchildren; three brothers, Fred and Herman Torbeck of Johnson, and Diedrich Torbeck of Lincoln, (one brother, John, passed away some time ago); five sisters, Mrs. Hilka Malpart of Johnson, Mrs. Christina Schleufer of Nora, Mrs. Dora Harms of Deshler, and Mrs. Anna Kienker of Johnson; and a good number of other relatives and friends.

Funeral services were conducted on last Wednesday afternoon at St. Peter's Lutheran Church near Byron and she was laid to rest in Zion Lutheran cemetery beside her husband. Pastor A. A. Krause officiated.
