Issue: Woodsfield, Ohio February 18, 1931
At her late home on North Paul street last Thursday afternoon, February 12, 1931, death came to Mrs. Sophia S. Bertram after a few weeks illness of pneumonia.
Mrs. Bertram had been a lifelong resident of this community. She was born August 15, 1860, and was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John W. Diehl. She was united in marriage to Jacob Bertram in 1878 whose death occurred January 5, 1904. To their union were born three sons, one of whom died in infancy. Surviving are William F. Bertram of the home, and Dr. Louis Bertram of Chicago; one sister Mrs. Louise Sulsberger, of Columbus, Ohio; three brothers, J. W. Diehl and F. E. Diehl, of Woodsfield, and F. C. Diehl of Grand Junction, Colorado.
After her husband?s death Mrs. Bertram took up the active management of the Bertram Confectionery and remained active in that capacity almost to the time of her last illness, save for such time as she was absent because of
similar illnesses.
At an early age she became a member of St. Paul?s Evangelical Church.
Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon from the late home, and were in charge of the Reverend John Fleming Cash assisted by a male quartette. Burial was in Oaklawn cemetery, Woodsfield beside the others of her family who had preceded her in death. The services were largely attended.
