The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, January 22nd, 1915
Obituary...
Miss Emmaline Straub was born Nov. 16, 1824, in Bloomsburg, Columbia county, Pa. There she grew to young womanhood, and in 1842 she was married to John Stecker. To this union were born twelve children, of which nine are still living. J. H. Stecker, Sentinel Butte; Mrs. Sam Conser, Redby, Minn.; Mrs. Frank Stecker, Bemidji, Minn.; Mrs. Chauncy Hurd, Tacoma, Wash.; Mrs. Greg Thoburn, Martins Ferry, Ohio; E. C. Stecker, Westerheim; Mrs. Mary Reed, Morristown, Minn.; Dell Stecker, Spokane Ridge, Wash. In 1852 the family moved to Michigan. In 1860 Mrs. Stecker immigrated to southern Minnesota, and in 1893 to the northern part. In 1903, with several of the grown up family, she moved to North Dakota, taking a homestead north of Sentinel Butte, where she resided till after proving up on her claim. Later she went to live with her daughter at Westerheim, where she died of old age, January 6th, 1915, having passed the ninetieth milestone by two months and twenty days. Grandma Stecker had the proud distinction of being grandmother to seventy-two boys and girls, seventy of whom are sill alive; great grandmother to eighty-two boys and girls, eighty-one of whom still live; and great great grandmother to three boys and girls. Her husband was killed some years before her death, and she trod life’s pathway alone till the summons came. Funeral services were held at the Westerheim school house Friday afternoon, Jan. 8, by Rev. F. W. Gress of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city, and interment made in the new cemetery adjoining the school house ground. The neighborhood turned out in such large numbers that it was entirely impossible for all to get into the building, and the windows were raised to let those on the outside hear the services.
