Margaret E. Claus (nee Hoff) Source: Newspaper clipping of February 1941 Life is a drop from the river, That rises in mist o?er the lea, A moment in space of quiver, Then falls on the breast of the sea, It was- It is-now gone forever, Yet lives through eternity.
On Saturday morning, February 8, 1941, at six o?clock the death angel entered our home and called our dear and beloved wife and mother to her home to eternal rest at the age of 79 years, 9 months and 1 day. Margarite E. Hoff Claus, the eldest daughter of Frederic and Margarite Zimmerle Hoff, was born on May 7, 1861, in Washington County, near Lebanon, Ohio. She was united in marriage with Charles Claus, on June 14, 1883, who was her companion through 58 years of married life. She leaves to mourn her sad departure her aged companion; two children, Oswald A. Claus, of Pittsburg; and Bertha Reich, of Miltonsburg, Ohio; the following grandchildren, Mrs. Charlotte Brown and Miss Mildred Claus of Longview, Texas; Arthur Reich, of Miltonsburg and Vernon Reich of Lewisville; four great grandchildren, Richard and Charles Brown and Alice and Janet Reich . The following sisters and brother survive: Mrs. Elizabeth Peters, of Miltonsburg; Mrs. Mary Zerger, of Woodsfield, and Fred W. Hoff, of Alliance, Ohio, also five nieces and four nephews. The deceased was a member of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, being baptized and confirmed at an early age. She was also a member of the Senior Women?s Union of the local Church. She led a consistent Christian life and was ready to go when God called her home. She was a kind and loving Mother and was loved and respected by all who knew her. All that could be done was done with kind and willing hands but to no avail; but Mother is in heaven and if we live for our God we shall meet her in her eternal home never more to part. Brief funeral services were held at the family home, Monday afternoon at 2:00 o?clock, followed by additional services at St. Paul?s Evangelical and Reformed Church, with the Reverend R. W. Jungfer, Jr., her pastor officiating. Burial was made in Oaklawn cemetery, Woodsfield.
