Died - Mrs. Bertha Grover of Scottsbluff, Nebr. on Tuesday, March 1, at 5:30 p.m. The remains were brought here for interment and was buried in the Kennard cemetery on Saturday, March 5, at 10:30 a.m. My heart goes out to Mr. Grover in deep sympathy in this hour of his great trial, being left with three small children to care for. My sympathy goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Coulter in the loss of their daughter. Well do I remember Bertha as a babe, and then as a child, and later as a bride and mother. And to Mort and his children do I sympathize for they have lost all, mother and wife - the sweet names on earth.

Obituary

Bertha Coulter Grover was born in Washington County, Nebraska, November 10, 1879. She was graduated from the Nebraska City schools and served for some time as a teacher in our Washington County schools. She was married on August 15, 1900, to Mortimer G. Grover and removed to Scottsbluff, Nebraska, where she resided until her death on February 10, 1910.

The remains were brought to Kennard for interment and the funeral services were held on Saturday, March 5th, in the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church. The Rev. Mr. Hiller conducted the services and in the course of his sermon he dwelt upon the large part which the noble women of the homes, had in the settlement of a new country, and upon the fact that a large part of the wholesome development of our country was due to the spirit with which the women left their homes of their parents when they had comparative luxury; to endure the hardships of pioneer life in order to establish homes of their own. He also spoke of the popular esteem in which Mrs. Grover was held by her friends and neighbors, and this fact was further attested by church filled to overflowing with the sympathetic neighbors.

The sympathy of the entire community goes out in large measure to the bereaved father and mother of Mrs. Grove, and especially to her husband who will have the care of three little boys, who are thus deprived of a mother’s hand.
