- [S927] Obituary.
Claus, Elizabeth Claus nee Fliehman 2nd obit
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, August 21, 1929
Mrs. Elizabeth Claus (nee Fliehman) was born in Summit-tp., Monroe county, Ohio, of February 28, 1851 and died at her home near Miltonsburg on Wednesday, July 24, 1929 at the age of 78 years, 4 months and 26 days. She was the oldest daughter of Philip and Catherine Fliehman, former residents of Marr, Ohio.
On February 16, 1879 she was united in marriage to Mr. A.H. Claus, of Monroefield, Ohio, to which union six children, four sons and two daughters were born. They are; Fred and John, of the home; William and Oscar, of Woodsfield R.3; Mrs. George Mann , of Jerusalem and Mrs. Charles Mann, of Miltonsburg. There are also one brother and two sisters; H.H. Fliehman and Miss Catherine Fliehman, of Woodsfield; and Mrs. E.E. Morrison, of Sycamore Valley, Ohio; besides eleven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren, many other relatives and friends.
In her fourteenth year, Mrs. Claus was confirmed into the Evangelical faith at Harrietsville, Ohio. She remained a faithful member all through life. She willingly met all demands for service of her Master until illness prevented her active part in worship and church work.
In 1904 Mrs. Claus and several other members originated the Ladies Aid Society of St. Peter?s Evangelical Church of Miltonsburg, and as a charter member of that organization, she was active in its work until the serious illness of her husband whose death occurred just twelve weeks before her own.
Once more these two souls are united, this time never to part, never again to suffer the trials of earthy life, this time free from sorrow, sin, and strife. Their task on earth, it is complete, they lay their trophies at Jesus?s feet. ?In a little while ye shall see me no more and yet in a little while ye shall see me.?
Mrs. Claus was a kind and loving mother, a devoted wife and a true friend. The community mourns with the family the death of one of its oldest and truest members and friends. We commend all those into the loving care of Him who said, ?Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.?
Funeral services were held at the church at Miltonsburg on July 27, at 2:00 o?clock in charge of her pastor, Rev. Chester Gaum and were largely attended. Interment was made in the family lot in the Miltonsburg Cemetery.
Card of Thanks- The family of Mrs. Elizabeth Claus desire to acknowledge publicly their sincere appreciation to all who visited their mother while she was ill and express their heartfelt thanks for all expressions of Sympathy, for beautiful floral offerings, to the choir and all who served in any way during their hours of sorrow.
