Washington Co Hospital, Washington, Kansas at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, December 17,
1957, at the age of 79 years, and 9 days, being the last member of her family.
Mrs. BERTRAM migrated in a covered wagon with her
parents at the age of 5 years to a farm near Haddam, KS. Here she received her
education and grew to womanhood. She has made her home around and in Haddam the
past 74 years. On Sept. 1, 1895, she was united in marriage to Henry BERTRAM and
to this union five children were born: John William BERTRAM, who died April 29
1940, Oscar Robert BERTRAM, who died Dec 28, 1918, twins and one
daughter.
On Sept 1, 1845, Mr. and Mrs. BERTRAM had the
happy privilege of celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Mr. BERTRAM
passed away on Dec 31 of that year.
She was also preceded in death by three brothers,
Oscar, Alfred and Thomas HARVEY two sisters, Rosie and Minnie HARVEY and the
sons.
Mrs. BERTRAM was a loving wife and mother and
making a good home was her happiness. She loved working with her garden flowers
and needlework as long as her health permitted, sharing with her many friends.
To her family she revealed love, courage and loyalty.
Left to mourn are one son and two
daughters, all of Haddam; also two
daughters-in-law, one son-in-law, ten grandchildren and twenty-one great grandchildren. A
granddaughter now of Marshall, Missouri, grew up in
her grandparents home. Many relatives and friends also pay loving tribute.
The funeral services were held Friday afternoon
at the Methodist Church in Haddam, with the Rev. Donald O'HARA officiating and
burial was in the Blocker Cemetery.
