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.

Obituary of Teacher J.M. HELMREICH

Teacher J.M. HELMREICH is resting from his labors after having taught in our schools for nearly fifty years.  He died in the Anaheim Sanitarium, Anaheim, California, on March 3, where he had submitted to a major operation, at the age of 70 years, 1 month, and 19 days.

John M. Helmreich was born in Frankenlust, Bay County, Michigan, January 14, 1858.  In the fall of 1872, he entered our Teachers’ Seminary at Addison, Illinois, where he was graduated in 1877.  He received and accepted a call to Yorkville, Illinois.  Later he served schools at Bay City, Michigan, where he labored diligently and faithfully for twenty-eight years, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Wisconsin Synod), and Orange, California.  In 1923 he was called to the principalship of the school of the newly organized Immanuel Congregation at Orange, California, where he labored faithfully until the fall of 1926.  After this he still served as organist of the congregation in Anaheim until the Sunday previous to his operation.  Teacher Helmreich was an accomplished organist and officiated in that capacity at all his charges.

In 1881 Teacher Helmreich entered the state of holy matrimony with Miss Sophia DEINDOERFER, of Saginaw, Michigan.  Their union was blessed with five children, two sons and three daughters.  One daughter (in 1897) and his beloved wife (in 1910) preceded him in death.  In 1913 he was again joined in holy wedlock, this time with Mrs. Johanna RECHLIN, with whom he shared joys and sorrows until his death.  He is survived by his wife, two sons, two daughters, five grandchildren, and three sisters.

Memorial services were held for the deceased in Immanuel Lutheran Church of Orange, California, from where the remains were sent to Bay City, Michigan, for interment.  Funeral services were held in that city on March 9 in Immanuel Church, and the remains were laid to rest beside those of his first wife in Elm Lawn Cemetery.  On departing this life he surely heard the voice of his Master: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant!  Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”  Matthew 25:21.

Obituary of Student Theobald Adolf BELLMANN

On March 1 the sad news was received at our Springfield Concordia that it had pleased God to call unto Himself one of our students, Theobald Adolf BELLMANN.  He was the son of Martin Bellmann and his wife Martha, nee LOHMANN.  Theobald was born November 27, 1904, in Altenburg, Missouri, and was a member of the present vicaring class.  The doctors diagnosed his case as tumor of the brain.  Two hours after the operation he passed away.  On March 4 he received a Christian burial in Altenburg, Missouri.

Obituary of Teacher Emeritus Louis KANKE

When Teacher emeritus Louis KANKE departed this life on February 18, another good and faithful servant entered into the joy of his Lord.  For thirty-seven years he served the Master as shepherd of His lambs, teaching in Lutheran parochial schools at various places in Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas.  Since his resignation in 1912 on account of ill health he lived with his son, Mr. Otto KANKE, the last ten years in Nokomis, Illinois.  After a funeral service, conducted by the pastor of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church at Nokomis on February 20, the body was taken to Washington, Missouri, and there laid to rest the following day, Pastor A.H. GASSNER officiating.

Obituary of Teacher William M. SPUHLER

After a brief illness William M. SPUHLER, teacher emeritus, was called to his heavenly home.  With his departure a faithful and energetic worker has gone to his reward.  He died January 29 at the age of 68 years and 1 day.  The funeral service was held at Zion Church, Akron, Ohio, February 1.  The undersigned officiated.  The choir and the children of our Christian day-school sang appropriate hymns.  The mortal remains were laid to rest in the plot of Zion Church in Glendale Cemetery, Akron.

William M. Spuhler was born January 28, 1860, in Monroe, Michigan.  He attended the Christian day-school there till his confirmation.  He then entered our Normal College at Addison, Illinois, and graduated in 1878.  His first charge was at Columbus, Indiana, where he served for seven years.  In the spring of 1886 a call was sent to him by Zion Church, of Akron, Ohio, which he accepted.  Here he served for thirty-seven years.  After his retirement, five years ago, he continued to serve the congregation in many other capacities with great diligence and faithfulness.  As a mark of love and esteem the congregation had granted him a pension of $75 a month.

In 1879 Teacher Spuhler entered the state of holy matrimony with Matilda, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. August HEITMUELLER, of Columbus, Indiana.  The widow, a son, and a daughter mourn his departure.  Rev. 14:13  E.F. NOACK.

Obituary of Prof. John A. SCHWOY, A.M.

On December 6, 1927, John A. SCHWOY, pastor and professor emeritus, was suddenly called home by his Lord and Master, whom he had served for more than forty years.  Born at Paterson, New Jersey, December 5, 1859, where his parents, Gotthelf Schwoy and Mary, nee HUNDERTMARK, were charter members of St. Paul’s Church, he attended the Christian day-school taught by the sainted Rev. H.H. WALKER, D.D.  Later he entered Concordia College, Fort Wayne, and was graduated from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, in 1883.

Rev. Schwoy first served as missionary in Texas for a year, when he had to resign on account of ill health.  In August 1884, he accepted a call to Alexandria, Virginia.  On November 16, 1884, he was united in marriage to Wilhelmine STEINHAEUSER, of Paterson, New Jersey.  The union was not blessed with any children.  Until April 21, 1893, he continued his labors at Alexandria both as pastor and teacher of the Christian day-school.  When his health again failed, he had to resign and came to Paterson to make his home with his mother and later with his wife’s parents.  While recuperating, he took a course in Latin and English literature at New York University, receiving the degree of A.M.  In January 1896, he served the Hackensack, New Jersey, mission for a time.  Later in 1896 he was installed as pastor at Richfield, New Jersey.  Here he served for ten years, again also teaching school during his entire time.  On October 14, 1906, he accepted a call to Concordia College, Hawthorne, New York, as instructor in English.  At the end of June 1921, he had to resign also this position on account of general failing health and because his eyes could not stand the strain of work.  Once more he went to his wife’s relatives at North Haledon, New Jersey.  Shortly after arriving there, on October 6, 1921, his beloved wife, who had shared his joys and sorrows for thirty-seven years, was suddenly taken from his side.  He remained with his wife’s relatives until his end.  When his health again improved, he was kept busy doing supply work in various congregations in New Jersey and New York.  In 1924 and 1925 he served his home congregation at Paterson, New Jersey, during a long vacancy.  During his last years he was also a faithful and valuable member of this congregation and its church council.  For several months previous to his death he assisted at St. John’s Church, Bloomfield, New Jersey, where he preached his last sermon a week before he died.

Although not in perfect health, Professor Schwoy’s condition did not seem serious.  On Sunday, December 4, he did not feel well enough to preach in Bloomfield, but he was much improved on Monday, his birthday.  On Tuesday he arose early, as usual, and ate a hearty breakfast.  Shortly afterwards he complained of being short of breath.  He sat down in a rocking chair, and, after a few gasps, fell gently asleep, having arrived at the age of 68 years and 1 day.

Funeral services were held at St. Paul’s Church, Paterson, on December 9.  His pastor, the undersigned, who also officiated at the house and at the grave, preached the German funeral sermon, and Prof. Geo. A. ROMOSER, representing our college at Bronxville, spoke in English.  Other speakers were President H. BIRKNER of the Atlantic District and Rev. Karl KRETZMANN, chairman of the local conference, of which Professor Schwoy was a member.  Prof. H.F.A. STEIN, Ph.D., also read resolutions of condolence from the faculty at Bronxville.  Ref. F. PEBLER officiated at the Altar.  The children of our Christian day-school, in which he was always very much interested, sang an appropriate hymn.  His mortal remains were laid to rest in Cedar Lawn Cemetery, Paterson, awaiting the great day of resurrection.  A sister, the wife of Teacher Louis LUECKE, of Paterson, a brother, Christian Schwoy, also of Paterson, a nephew, Pastor A.G.L. Luecke, Pine Island, New York, and a niece, the wife of Pastor P.G. SANDER, New York City, are among the surviving relatives.  Matthew 25:21, A.G. DICK.
