Christman, Anna Christman nee Claus
Monroe County Beacon, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, December 10, 1970
Once again the Grim Reaper of death has entered our midst and taken from us our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, neighbor and friend.
Anna Claus Christman, daughter of Fred and Caroline Haffner Claus, was born near Lewisville, Ohio February 20, 1884, and departed this life October 26, 1970, in the Barnesville Hospital. At the time of her death she was 86 years, eight months and six days of age.
She was united in marriage with Fred G. Christman; three sons, Raymond Christman, of Barnesville, Alva Christman, of Quaker City, and Irvin Christman, of El Paso, Texas; two brothers, Edwin Claus, of Smithfield, Iowa, and Gilbert Claus, of Lewisville; twelve grandchildren; eighteen great grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends.
Besides her son, she was preceded in death by her parents, four brothers and two sisters.
Mrs. Christman lived on a farm in Monroe County for sixty years, then she and her husband went to Barnesville to live with their son, Raymond. Mrs. Christman had been in poor health for two years. All that loving hands could do was done but to no avail. God called her home where there is no suffering, sorrow nor death.
She was confirmed in the Middle Chuch at the age of thirteen.
Mrs. Christman was a loving mother, grandmother, sister and neighbor, willing to lend a helping hand when needed. She will be sadly missed by all.
A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.

Funeral services were held at the Bauer and Turner Funeral Chapel in Woodsfield on Thursday afternoon, October 29, at one o?clock, with Rev. Wilmer Grunwald, of the Trinity United Church of Christ, officiating. Burial was in the Middle Church Cemetery.
