Albrecht.-Mary Stecker Albrecht, daughter of Nicholas and Magdalene Stecker, was born near Tremont, Ill., Aug. 26, 1861; died at her home near Tiskilwa, Ill., Aug. 25, 1917, her age being 55 y. 11 m. 30 d. She was united in marriage with Henry V. Albrecht of Tiskilwa, Mar. 4, 1883. This union was blessed with 5 daughters and 2 sons. She leaves to mourn her departure, her husband, 3 daughters, 2 sons, 2 grandchildren, 3 brothers and 3 sisters besides a host of relatives and friends. Two daughters and 2 sisters have preceded her to their eternal home. At the age of sixteen she united with the Mennonite Church, of which she remained a faithful member until death. In her passing the husband was bereft of a true helpmate, the children a loving mother, the community a kind neighbor, and the Church an earnest worker. Though her life was not one of public prominence, she was untiring in her labors for the welfare of the Church, the unfortunate and needy, and the encouragement of "His little ones." Though the last six months of her life were filled with much pain and suffering yet she bore it patiently until her course was finished. The funeral services were conducted at the home and at the church by Bro. C. A. Hartzler.
