From "Orangeville Courier" [Orangeville, Stephenson Co., IL], 10 Dec 1898:
AFTER A LONG ILLNESS
Last Sunday evening about 11:30 o'clock, Mrs. Sophia Hans died at her home in this place after a long illness. For over a year she has been confined to her bed most of the time and death was a welcome relief to her. For several months past it seemed her end was but a short time ahead but with endurance that has been a marvel, she lingered on. During her illness she suffered much but when her time came, she passed quietly away.
Mrs. Sophia Hans nee Law was born Jan. 25, 1832, in Postow, Mecklenburg Schwerin, Germany, and at the time of her death was aged 66 years, 10 mos. and 9 days.
The deceased came to this country Oct. 24, 1857 and on Jan. 5, 1867 in Waukesha, Wis. was married to Valentine V. Hans, her second husband. She had previously been married to a Mr. Sorn. Three children have preceded her to the spirit world, while three children by Mr. Hans, viz: Peter Hans of Blanchardville, Wis.; Mrs. Ida Daughenbaugh and Mrs. Mary Winter, of this place, and two by her former husband, Mr. Sorn, viz: Fred of this place and Mrs. Hattie Nichol, of Kansas, with her bereaved husband mourn her death.
The deceased was a member of the Lutheran church. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 10 o'clock from her late home. The church was well filled with friends and neighbors of the deceased who came to ** the departed. Rev. Haltzel officiated, assisted by Rev. Blosser. He spoke from the text found in PS. 90:12, "So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts into wisdom." The internment took place in this place and the following were the pallbearers: Wm. Abel, Jarred Hoot, I. M. Bobb, J. Daughenbaugh, M. J. Bolender, Jas. Musser.
Mrs. Hans was a member of the Rebekah Lodge #452. The Lodge had charge of the funeral arrangements and at the cemetery their beautiful burial services were used.
