Bio
From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, September 13, 1923, transcribed by Linda Berney: Obituary – Bessie Vivian Scripture, daughter of Grant and Frances Scripture, was born in Wolbach, Neb., March 31, 1909, and died in her native village, September 8, 1923, at the age of 14 years, 5 months and 7 days. Her whole life, with the exception of one year, was spent in Wolbach. Here she attended the public school, passing through all the grades and entering high school a year ago. If she had lived she would have been in the Sophomore class this year. Her future plan was to get her education and become a teacher. From the time she was a child she had attended the Lutheran church and Sunday school. Last year she joined the catechetical class to prepare for confirmation. Baptism was administered to her on Holy Thursday following Easter Sunday morning. Bessie was a good girl and by her many good qualities endeared herself, not merely to her parents, brothers and sisters, but also to her teachers and school chums. There remains to mourn the loss her parents, Grant and Frances Scripture, three brothers, Frank, Leo and Clarence Scripture; three sisters, Mrs. Effie Peterson, Mrs. Ethel Evans and Miss May Scripture, and numerous other relatives, who have the sympathy of the entire community. Funeral services were held in the Trinity Lutheran church conducted by Rev. R. A. White on Monday, September 10, 1923, after which the remains were laid to rest in Hillside cemetery beside those of a sister, who preceded her to the better land. Card of Thanks – We take this means to express our sincere thanks to the Royal Neighbors, members of the Sunday School class and the classmates for the kindness shown and sympathy extended during the illness, death and burial of our beloved daughter and sister, and we are also very thankful for the floral offerings. Mr. and Mrs. Grant Scripture and Children.
