  • Notes 
    • Janzen, Helene. - Helene Janzen, geb. von Riesen, am 1. Dezember, den Morgen ihres 75. Jahrestages, in Beatrice, Nebr., Witwe des verstorbenen Br. Cornelius Jansen, früher in Berdiansk, Rußland, nach kurzem Leiden an Unterleibkrankheit. Die liebe Verstorbene hatte einen großen Kreis Freunde und Bekannte auch unter den Andersgläubigen in Beatrice und stand in hocher Achtung unter denselben; sie war eine rege und thätige Magd in Weinberge des Herrn, wo sie sich zu schaffen machte, wenn es galt dem Nächsten Liebesdienste zu erweisen. Ihr Zeugnis von der Welt beschränkte sich nicht nur auf Thätigkeit in unserer äußeren Mission, wo sie gar manche Stunde unseres Missions-Nähvereins beiwohnte, sondern sie war auch bestrebt mit Wort und Werk, wo es galt die schädlichen Einflüsse von Saloon und Tabak zu bekämpfen. Die "Woman's Christian Temperance Union", sandte eine Delegation, welche sich der Begräbnisfeier im Sterbehause anschloß, woselbst Rev. C. S. Dudley eine englische Leichenrede hielt, die von zahlreichen Freunden und Bekannten, der Verstorbenen angehört wurde, trotzdem ein empfindlich kalter Schneesturm draußen wehte. Br. J. H. Zimmermann hielt die Leichenrede in unserm Gotteshause, 3 Meilen West, in deutscher Sprache über den Text: Offenb. 14, 13: Die Beerdigung fand auf unserem Friedhofe statt, der unserer Kirche angrenzt, woselbst die Verstorbene zur Seite ihres vor kurzen Jahren vorangegangenen Gatten in dem Schoße der kühlen Erde gebettet wurde, dort zu schlummern dem großen Tage entgegen, wenn der Herr einst wieder Kommen wird beim Schalle der letzten Posaune, zu richten die Lebendigen und die Toten.

      Janzen, Helene. - Helene Janzen, b. by Giant, December 1, the morning of her 75th anniversary, in Beatrice, Nebr., widow of the late Br. Cornelius Jansen, formerly in Berdiansk, Russia, after a short suffering from abdominal disease. The dear deceased had a large circle of friends and acquaintances, even among those of other faiths in Beatrice, and stood in great esteem among them; she was an active and active maidservant in the vineyards of the Lord, where she was tormented when it was necessary to render love to the neighbor. Her testimony of the world was not limited to activity in our outer mission, where she attended for many hours of our missionary sewing society, but she also endeavored with word and work to combat the harmful influences of saloon and tobacco. The "Woman's Christian Temperance Union" sent a delegation who joined the funeral service at the Death House, where Rev. C. S. Dudley delivered an English funeral oration that was greeted by numerous friends and acquaintances to whom the deceased was being heard, despite a cold, blizzard blowing outside. Br. J. H. Zimmermann delivered the funeral oration in our house of God, 3 miles west, in German over the text: Offenb. 14, 13: The funeral took place in our cemetery adjoining our church, where the deceased was laid in the lap of the cool earth beside her husband, who had passed shortly before, sleeping there to face the great day when the Lord once again The sound of the last trumpet comes to judge the living and the dead.
