Mrs. Lilly Ann Scherer
Lilly Ann Hoffman, wife of the late Rev. F.R. Scherer, was born June 29, 1839 (correction, 1829). , in Guilford County, N.C., and was married to F.R. Scherer May 25, 1857 (correction, 1851). She died March 12, 1897, at her home three miles south of Waterville at which place Rev. I. B. Helsey, pastor of the Lutheran Church of Waterville, preached her funeral sermon from Job xix, 25: "I know that my Redeemer liveth," after which the remains were accompanied to Riverside Cemetery where they were deposited in their last resting place.
Mrs. Scherer came to Kansas with her husband in 1870 and made for themselves a nice home three miles south of town where they raised a large family of children who have been her solace in her declining years. Her life was spent in her home and in the service of the Lutheran Church, to which she was most fondly attached. Its missionary work in particular was her chief delight. With heart and hand she assisted in moving the good work forward, and her presence and counsel will be greatly missed in the local organization where she was always a welcome member. An exemplary Christian, a fond mother and beloved neighbor has been removed from earth to the enjoyment of scenes more beautiful, and to reap the full fruition of her labors of love here on earth. She has now come in possession of treasures she has for these many years bee laying up in heaven. The reward of a well spent life is hers – for, as we sow so shall we reap. 470, Lilly Ann Huffman Scherer
