Christian Woman Called to Reward
Mrs. Mary Christina Schoentrup
Found Dead In Bed Sunday Morning
----------
Mrs. Mary Christina
Schoentrup, 67 years
old, one of the widely known and highly esteemed elderly ladies of the St.
Vincent neighborhood, was found dead in bed Sunday morning at 6:30 o'clcok,
at her home, one mile west of Prescott, in Shelby township.
The discovery was made by her son, Allie, who makes his home with his
mother. Dr. G. I. Inlow,
county coroner, was called following the discovery, and he announced that death
was due from heart trouble. She had
suffered from this ailment on previous occasions, but she had been in good
health recently, and was feeling well Saturday evening, when she retired for the
night.
Mrs.
Schoentrup was born and reared to young womanhood in Dearborn county,
Indiana, when she moved to this county, and where she was married April 14, 1875,
to the late Henry Schoentrup.
To this union ten children were born, eight of whom survive to mourn the
loss.
The
surviving children are Benjamin and Frank Schoentrup
of Shelby township;
William Schoentrup of Decatur
county; Edward of Anderson; llie at home; Joseph
of
this city; Mrs. Walter Huesman, east of this city;
and Mrs. David Conger of Anderson. Other
relatives surviving are two brothers, John and Joseph
Knue,
of Dearborn
county, and two sisters, Mrs. Henry Turner and Mrs. Charles
Zimmer, both of Indianapolis.
After
coming to this county, Mrs. Schoetrup united with
the St. Vincent Catholic church, where she has been a devoted worker for the
cause of her Savior. She has always
taken an active part in all the societies of the church and her presence will be
greatly missed by all who worked with her and knew her for her faithfulness to
her God and friends.
