Obituary
of Rev. W.E. Dube
After severe suffering, which had lasted for several months, the
Rev. W.E. Dube spent the last day of his life without pain. For weeks he had been unable to speak due to
a throat malady, which resulted in his death.
But on the last day God granted him the joy of being able to converse
once more with the members of his family.
Making full use of this God-given privilege to admonish and encourage
his loved ones, he bade them farewell.
His dying words were: “I believe that Jesus Christ has redeemed all
mankind and that he has redeemed me also.
I am ready to die in the faith which I have been permitted to preach.” He had raised himself up in his bed to make
this statement and then lay down again to depart in peace.
From El Paso, Texas, where he had gone to recuperate, his earthly
remains were taken to Houston, Texas, for burial. The undersigned based his funeral address
upon Phil 1:21. Rev. G.A. Naumann officiated at the grave. Local pastors acted as pall-bearers.
Rev. W.E. Dube was born July 16, 1877, in Fedor, Texas. After attending our colleges at Concordia,
Missouri, and at Milwaukee, he graduated in 1901 from Concordia Seminary in St.
Louis. His first charge was Hochkirch,
Texas, where he served until 1907, when he accepted a call to Westfield,
Texas. Other congregations which he
served are: Cypress and Neudorf, Texas,
Hochkirch, Texas (for the second time), Silver City, New Mexico, and Mercedes,
Texas. During the early part of 1927 he
was compelled to resign his pastorate at Mercedes on account of throat trouble. At first it seemed that a cure might be
effected, but the Lord found it wise to take him from the Church Militant to
the Church Triumphant on February 20, 1928.
The departed married Miss Margaret Stoeckli on February 10,
1902. God blessed the union with four
children, one son and three daughters, one of whom, Lydia, God called home in
September 1917.
“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.” J.W. Behnken.
Obituary
of Rev. Adolph Herman Smukal
Again the Master, in His unsearchable wisdom and counsel, has
called a young servant of the Word out of the Church Militant into the Church
Triumphant: Pastor Adolph Smukal, assistant
pastor of Bethany Church, Detroit, Michigan.
He was endowed with splendid gifts and was a humble and faithful worker
in his Master’s kingdom, and therefore his early death is a severe loss to his
congregation and to the brethren of his conference, but especially to his aging
father, whose able assistant he was.
Pastor Adolph Herman Smukal was born October 21, 1898, at Detroit,
Michigan. In 1913 he entered Concordia
College at Fort Wayne, Indiana, and in 1923 he graduated from Concordia
Seminary of St. Louis, Missouri. Having
been called as assistant pastor by Bethany Congregation, Detroit, he was
ordained and installed into the ministry by his father July 15, 1923. For a brief period of only four years was he
permitted to serve this congregation, but his faithful and efficient work had
soon won him the love and esteem of his parish.
The loss of his voice, due to tuberculosis of the larynx, compelled him
to resign from the ministry July 11, 1927.
Taking leave of his congregation, his parting words were: “I shall not
die, but live and declare the works of the Lord,” Psalm 118:17, adding: “If not
on earth, then surely in heaven.” On
January 12, while his brother, Rev. G. Smukal, of Los Angeles, California, was
at his bedside, he died peacefully, firmly believing in Jesus, the Savior of
sinners. His age was 29 years, 2 months,
and 21 days.
After a brief funeral service at Los Angeles, at which Rev. A. Hansen
delivered the address, his mortal remains were sent to his parents at
Detroit. There the burial services were
held January 19. Rev. J.M. Gugel
conducted the services at the home. At
the church the German sermon, based on Romans 8:28, was delivered by the
undersigned; the English sermon, based on 2 Timothy 10:11a, by Rev. F.A. Kolch. President Rev. J. Schinnerer, representing
the Michigan District and the pastoral conference of which the departed was a
member, addressed words of sympathy and comfort to the bereft family and
congregation. Brethren of the English
District and of the Ven. Wisconsin Synod also expressed their sympathy and
offered words of consolation. Then the
mortal remains were laid to rest in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Rev. Gilbert Otte
officiating.
The deceased leaves his sorrowing parents, Rev. R.J. Smukal and
wife, three brothers, two of whom, Rev. Gotthold Smukal at Los Angeles and Rev.
Ewald Smukal at Kilbourn, Wisconsin, are serving in the ministry, and two
sisters. May God graciously comfort them
through His Holy Spirit! Phil. H. Bohn.
Obituary
of Teacher F.W. Moesta
On March 26 the life of F.W. Moesta, for forty-five years teacher
of St. James’ Lutheran School at Logansport, Indiana, came to a close at the
age of 71 years. He was born in
Hesse-Cassel, Germany, September 4, 1847, and came to this country when
seventeen years old. Graduating from our
Teachers’ Seminary at Addison, Illinois, in 1869, he accepted a call to
Logansport, where he taught uninterruptedly till his resignation fourteen years
ago. In 1874 he was united in marriage
with Miss Frederica Peters, which union was blessed with two children.
Teacher Moesta was a sincere Christian and a faithful, teacher,
and even when no longer active in school, he employed his time in the interest
of the congregation. He was a gifted
musician and an accomplished organist.
His Interludes, composed in the early days of our Synod, were
extensively used.
Benevolent bequests amounting to $195 were made in his memory by
his many friends and former pupils.
E.H.R.
