The remains of Mrs. Maud Obenhaus (nee Sanders) of Oakland was intered[sic] at Live Oak Friday evening, the funeral ceremony being conducted by Rev. Gibbons of Weimar. The church was filled to its capacity while many stood on the outside unable to gain admission. M. Rhodes, J. C. Scarborough, Aug. Strunk, Chas. Frazer, Chas. Strunk and Tom Wooldridge acted as pall bearers. The deceased was born Oct 13, 1877 being 36 years and 1 month old at the time of her death. Mrs. Obenhaus was married to Will Obenhaus in 1893 and to them three children were born, being Ida, Jetty, and Frederic. She was a true christian, a good mother, and wife and a vacant place has been left in this home which can never more be filled. She was the second daughter of Geo. Sanders and wife of this community. Oh, how hard it is to give up our loved ones, especially one as dear as mama for there is no one can take her place, but the Lord knows best. Besides her husband and three children she leaves three brothers, C. F. and Jim Sanders of this community, and J. O. Sanders of Osage, and one sister, Mrs. E. B. Mayes of Columbus; her parents Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Sanders. Out heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones in this their sad hour. May she rest in peace.

Golden Locks.
