Mrs. Carrie Englund Abraham (sic)
Mrs. Carrie Abraham (sic) was born Nov. 20, 1849, in Alfta, Helsingland, Sweden. After a struggle with flu, which developed into pneumonia, she quietly and peacefully slipped away from her dear one, who stood about her, at about 7 o'clock last Sunday morning, Jan. 6, 1929. She was one of three children, her two brothers, Hans and Olof Englund, have also been stalwart Christian pioneers in this community, the former having passed away, in 1920, but the latter, Olof Englund, now 85 years of age, survives her.
On Nov. 11, 1875, she was married to Jonas Abrahamson (sic), and to this happy union were born five sons and three daughters. Five of these were born in Sweden, and in the summer of 1888, the family emigrated to America, coming direct to Wayne, Kan. She united with the Swedish Methodist church (sic) here the following year, being taken in by Rev. P.M. Johnson. She has been a faithful and devoted member of the same throughout her life.
In 1901, less than 13 years after coming to America, her beloved husband was taken from her, but she kept her family together, and with their aid, purchased and paid for an 80-acre farm, which has been the real family home. One son, Axel Hillman, gave himself to the ministry of the church, but death cut short his career about 12 years ago. About 8 years ago, the two sons, John and Hans, passed away.
In 1921, she left the farm, having brought a little home in town, next to her brther (sic) Olof's home, but in less than two years, this house burned down, and she seemed bereft indeed. But a little cottage was built on the farm, where her daughter, Ida Nelson, and family, lived, and her she lived happily for about six years, tenderly cared for by her daughter and son in law, Andrew Nelson, Jr., until called to her eternal and unchangeable home.
Besides her aged brother, Olof Englund, five children survive: Mrs. Carrie Schaumloffel, of Rosalia, Kan.; Olof Abraham (sic) of Wayne, Kan.; Mrs. Marie Cochran, of Vernon, Kan.; Mrs. Ida Nelson, of Wayne, Nan. (sic); and Clarence F. Abraham, of Kansas City, Mo., who, with their families, among whom are 17 grandchildren, are left to mourn her loss.
If there was one activity more dear to her heart than any other, it was the Women's Foreign Missionary society, with which she has been connected almost from its first organization in Wayne, thus reaching out in helpflness and interest to the ends of the earth. The last time she was out to any meeting was at the Missionary society's meeting in August, and she took an unusual interest.
Just half the family, are now "over there", all these having died in the faith. What a welcome she has received. Let us all meet there.
The funeral service was held on Tuesday afternoon from the home and the Methodist church in Wayne, being conducted by the pastor, Miss Gabrielson, and Rev. J.A. Gabrielson. A mixed sextette (sic) rendered several beautiful musical numbers, and the floral tributes bespoke the affection in which our dear departed sister was held. Interment was at Rose Hill cemetery (sic), by the side of the other departed members of the family.
