Eigsti - On the 26th of September 1903, at her home near Lombardville, Ill, Sister Veronica, wife of Bro. Jacob Eigsti, aged 59 Y., 17 D. Deceased was a daughter of Peter and Katharine Albrecht and was born Sept. 9, 1844. She leaves her beloved companion, two sons, one daughter and 13 grandchildren, also one brother and one sister. She suffered for some time with what appears to be a tumor on her breast, which was removed by a surgeon in Chicago. After a stay of three weeks she returned home, thinking her affliction to be entirely removed, but several months after a growth reappeared at the same place, when it was decided to submit it to the X-ray treatment at Galesburg, Ill. After taking 21 treatments, from the burns of which she suffered severely and which were almost healed in twelve months, she began to suffer internally, which the physicians pronounced as cancer spreading through the entire system, and which caused her death. Although suffering greatly at times, she bore her afflictions patiently and was fully resigned to the Lord's will. She was a faithful member of the A.M. church. Her Bible was her constant companion and comfort wherever she was. May God comfort the bereaved family, and may they so live that they may finally meet where parting shall never more be known, neither sorrow or pain. Funeral services were held at the Willow Spring M.H. near Tiskilaw, Ill., by Jos. Buercky in German and Jonathan Kurtz of Topeka, Ind., in English, from Ezek. 24:15-18 and Heb. 9:27.
