      Mrs. Maier's Funeral Held Tuesday

      Funeral services were held at one o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the home, corner of Third and Sherman Streets, for Mrs. Jacob Maier, 82, who passed away Sunday, December 4. Dr. R.N. Holsaple, pastor of the Cass City Evangelical Church, and Rev. C.P. Bayless, pastor of the local Methodist Episcopal Church, officiated and interment was in Elkland Cemetery.

      Fanny Striffler was born in Lee County, Iowa, February 17, 1856. When a little girl she moved with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Striffler, to the bordering state of Missouri. Here they lived until some time after the Civil War when they again made their home in Iowa, remaining there unitl a year after her mother's death, April 17, 1874, when they came to Michigan.

      In 1878, she was united in marriage with Jacob Maier, who passed away March 11, 1925. Two daughters also preceded the mother in death.

      Mrs. Maier is survived by two sons, Edward and Frederick, both prominent business men of Cass City; a daughter, Miss Laura, who lived with her mother, and one sister, Mrs. Samuel Benkelman, also of Cass City.

      Unselfishness, courage, wisdom, and a great love for humanity stand out as bright gemes in the life of this devoted mother.

    This is thought to be a photo of Mary Striffler (left), with her foster sister, Augusta Krehl. Mary and Augusta were married to brothers, Samuel and John Benkelman. The woman in the center of the photo is not known. It could possibly be their sister, Fannie Stiffler Maier, but based on comparisons to other photos, this is unlikely. Mary was identified through comparison to other known photos. Augusta was positively identified by her son, Alvin C. Benkelman Sr.

    PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU CAN CONFIRM THIS IS MARY STRIFFLER BENKELMAN AND/OR IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE UNKNOWN WOMAN IN THE CENTER OF THE PHOTO.
