DRAKE, MISSOURI JANUARY 7, 1877

The grace of Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Amen!

My dear friends, Henry Berger and wife, nee Miss Minnie Engelbrecht, H. W. Tappmeyer and H. Buchholz are comforting you brothers and sisters, who are alone this Sunday evening. Strange you may think this to be, but it is nevertheless true, for God’s ways are often inscrutable. I am obliged to convey the sad intelligence to you that Father and Mother Engelbrecht are now in eternity. I shall endeavor to give you the details as well as I can.

You knew that Father Engelbrecht was ill all winter, often had high fever and was in a weakened condition. A few days before Christmas he was so ill that he had to remain in bed. Severe pains in his abdomen made the calling of the physician imperative who mitigated the pain; however, Father Engelbrecht had little resistance. His inflamed urinary bladder caused great distress; usually he left his bed to relieve the pressure, but since last Wednesday he was unable to do this. Though weak and exhausted, and no longer able to speak, he remained rational. He breathed his last at one o’clock on Thursday afternoon, falling asleep peacefully, trusting in Jesus. He witnessed triumphantly Tuesday evening, while I visited him, that his soul was hidden in Jesus and that he prayed to depart with Jesus. We grant him this heavenly rest, knowing that he has been a crossbearer and yearned to be released. Mother Engelbrecht and your brothers and sisters nursed him tenderly and seldom left his bedside. He was laid to

Mother Engelbrecht seemed to bear up bravely, but as you know, she was pregnant, and on Friday evening preceding the burial on Saturday, the midwife was called; however, the labor pains subsided until we left the home with the body of Father Engelbrecht. Toward evening that Saturday a daughter was born. Complications set in which necessitated the calling of the physician, who, however, was powerless to aid. Only the Lord could help, but He deemed it wise to call her from the midst of her children. This morning at four o’clock she finished her course, and on Tuesday morning at ten o’clock we shall bury her. Strange indeed, are the ways of the Lord! One is inclined to question the wisdom of God in calling both parents when so many children still need the loving care of devoted parents, but it behooves us to yield and to trust, confident that the Lord knows best and does not err.

This sad announcement must grieve your sorely, dear friends, as it has us, especially since we are concerned about the infant and are thinking of its future welfare. The Wehmhoners will in all probability take care of the child. Their daughter is with us this evening and is nursing the infant.

My beloved, I must hasten to a conclusion. I find it rather difficult to give you all of the details, because I was not present at all times. The children are grief-stricken and requested me to write to you. Please, write soon, and remember your sorrowing brothers and sisters in prayer. Let us all bow ourselves under the hand of God and trust Him, for He has promised to exalt us in due time and to care for us if we cast all our care on Him.
The Lord be with you and you with Him!

Written in response to the request of the Engelbrecht children.
Greetings to all!


Translation of Obit from German:

Brother Casper Engelbrecht
no longer resides on earth. He died 4 January 1877, believing in the Lord after twelve years of suffering from a pelvic (lower abdomen) disease. Brother Engelbrecht was born in Lower-Göllenbeck, governing district of Minden, Prussia. He reached an age of 49 years and his wife, Anna Elsebein Engelbrecht, nee Schlomann, died unexpectedly but not unprepared in her 42nd year of life on the 7th of January, on the morning of the funeral of her husband of a heart attack. Sister Engelbrecht was born in Upper-Göllenbeck, governing district of Minden, Prussia. Brother and Sister Engelbrecht joined our church in the year 1860 and were loyal members until the end. Their marriage was blessed by 12 children, 11 surviving, 1 deceased.
