Friederich Hildenbrand
Brother Friederich Hildenbrand born in South Russia on June 19, 1874, came to America as a young man of 20 years, and settled in this vicinity. In 1896 he married Eva Schaffer. This fortunate bond was broken in 1906 by the death of his first wife. In 1907 he married Pauline Schock with whom he lived a blessed married life for 34 years. His wife died in 1941. Thereafter he married the wife of his deceased twin brother.
Brother Hildenbrand was converted in the year 1900 and in 1904 was baptized by the Pastor Ch. Bischof after a confession of his faith. He was a member of the Berlin Congregation, whereof the congregation Ebenezer Lehr was a branch with which he was connected until his lifes end. He loved his Saviour, his congregation, and his sisters. He was a peace loving member, a diligent partaker of the church services, and took part in prayer and witness, he was a christian father and provider for his family. For about 2 years an affliction set in, which was diagnosed as cancer, which also resulted in his death. He died on June 4th at the age of 76 years, 11 months and 15 days.
He was ready and confident to meet his lifes expiration. His favorite scripture verse was 2 Timothy 4-7 & 8 which also served as the verses at his funeral. A favorite verse was, "In the upper room or hall" All of this gives the survivors an insight to his spirit of life and remains as a comfort to the bereaved. He leaves his sorrowing widow, five daughters, Emma, Mrs. E. Dachtler; Otilla, Mrs. Fred George; Barbara, Mrs. Henry Landseidel, Lansing, Michigan, Emila, Mrs. C. Doerr, Holt, Michigan; Helen, Mrs. Eugene Rozwarski, South Bend, Indiana; five sons: Benjamin, Edward, Marvin and Alvin, Lansing, Michigan; William, Grand Ledge, Michigan. Twenty-five Grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren, also 11 children of his wife, to whom he was a loving father, many relatives and friends, who are sat at his passing on. His remembrance remains a blessing and those of his a consolation of a reuniting with he Lord, in the upper room. Lehr, North Dakota C. Broeckel

Paulina Schock Hildenbrand
Paulina Hildenbrand, wife of Fred Hildenbrand, died. Lehr, N. Dak.
This whole area was saddened by the notice of the death of sister Paulina Hildenbrand.
We give a short summary herewith of her life as it was read at the funeral:
Our sister Paulina Hildenbrand, who has been called by the Lord, daughter of Christian and Louise Schock, was born September 29, 1883 in Alt-Arzis, South Russia. In 1903 the family Schock came to America and made their home in the area of Wishek, N. Dak.
She joined Friedrich Hildenbrand in holy matrimony on June 16, 1907. Through God's grace they were granted 33 years, 7 months and 15 days of happiness in marriage, sharing the joy and sadness of life. The marriage was blessed with six children: three daughters and three sons. Mrs. Hildenbrand was also a loyal and concerned mother to the four children of her husband's first marriage.
In 1907 she found, through conversion to a living faith in Jesus, her personal Saviour and on Pentecost Sunday of the year 1908 she was baptized on the profession of her faith, according to the command of the Lord, by Pastor H.G. Bens into the Baptist congregation of Lehr, where she was a valued member till her end. She was a loyal disciple of her Saviour, a co-founder of the Sisters Mission Society of the congregation and served the society many years as secretary. She was also the beloved teacher of the older Sisters Sunday school Class for more than eight years. Her place in the home, the family, the class, the Sisters Society and in the congregation is now empty, she will also be missed in our city. She lived devoutly in Christian faith, and liked to take part in gatherings and prayer meetings. Her last walk was to go home from morning service on Sunday, January 26. On that morning she had been especially stimulated in the Sunday school class; she also prayed fervently at the end of service unaware that this would be her last Sunday service on this earth. On her way home she got as far as her neighbor's place when she suffered a heart attack which paralyzed her right side completely and left her unable to speak. Doctor's help was asked for, loving hands nursed her and - after some time it was noticed that she could hear and understand what was said to her. She also recognized her visitors. However her condition was serious and her children were called: "All here" was said. As prayers were said by her deathbed it was noticed how she took part and also said "Amen". Her end came very suddenly on Saturday. She had another heart attack shortly before 11 o'clock in the evening and in a few moments she was departed from us. She had reached the age of 57 years, four months and two days.
She leaves behind to mourn her death her deeply grieving husband, our brother; their children: Ottilia, wife of Fred George, near Lehr, N. Dak.; Barbara, wife of Heinrich Landseidel, in Lehr, N. Dak.; Helen, wife of Sal Sampruzzi of Jone, Calif.; Wilhelm of Lansing, Mich.; Marvin of Jone, Calif.; Alvin still at home in Lehr; also the children from her husband's first marriage to whom she had been a loving mother: Emma, wife of Emil Dachtler; Emilie, wife of Christ Doerr; Benjamin and Edward, all of Lansing, Mich.; two sisters: Mathilda, wife of Jakob Keller of Marsh, Mont.; Mrs. Gottlieb Grenz of Tower City, N. Dak.; four brothers: Fred Schock of Circle, Mont.; Wilhelm Schock of Fairfield, Mont.; John and Adolph of and near Wishek, N. Dak.; and a large number of close relatives and friends. Also saddened, her Sunday school class of the Sisters - Mission - Society and the congregation.
We grieve for her passing; not as such who have no hope but with the hope of a happy reunion in the Lord. May the Lord and God of consolation console all those left behind, and may her memory be blessed.
The funeral service was held in the afternoon of Thursday, February 6th. The extremely large gathering of more than 400 people and the huge flower contributions bore witness to the esteem in which the deceased was held. The service was given under the leadership of her pastor Rev. E. Broeckel. Words of consolation came from John's Revelation chapter 7, 14-15;" The Redeemed in Splendor" was the main theme of contemplation. A sister - choir sang several beautiful songs and a duet sang in English,adding to the beauty of this mourning service.
The burial took place in the cemetery of the City of Lehr.Her memory remains in Blessing!
We offer all mourners our sincere condolence. Rev. E. Broeckel
The family Hildenbrand wishes to give their heartfelt thanks to all those who have stood by and helped so lovingly in their sorrow. May the Lord reward you for all you have done for us and our dearly departed.
Fred Hildenbrand and children.
