Mrs. Victoria Augusta Pike, who died March 22, 1952 at the convalescent home near Seneca, was born at Seneca on March 13, 1952 She was married here on September 5, 1898 to Priestly Pike, and they moved to Hamlin, Kansas, where her husband operated a bakery. He operated bakeries at other places, and several years later they moved to Stratton, Colorado, where they homesteaded and became pioneers of that state. There their two children were reared, their son Logan, and daughter Edith May, stepdaughter of Mrs. Pike, but loved as her own. Both survive, Logan at Denver, and Edith, now Mrs. Benjamin, at Oxford, Nebraska. There are also three sisters, Mrs. Celia DeFord of Seneca, Mrs. Lucy Aeschliman of Oneida and Mrs. Sophia Baker of Bend, Oregon; six grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Pike endured the hardships of pioneer life in Colorado without complaint. Mrs. Pike was a patient, hard-working mother. In 1927 the Pikes moved to Atwood, Kansas, her home until 1946. Her husband passed away in 1940. When her health began to fail, she came back to Nemaha county to be with her sister, Mrs. Celia DeFord, and their brother, Vendelin Nowak. Mr. Nowak passed away shortly after she returned here. Her health failed completely in 1951, and she was taken to the convalescent home, where she received tender care. She was a woman who was always interested in her home, her children and her church. Services were held at the Thornburg Funeral Home at Seneca Monday, with Rev. S. B. Parker offering a message of comfort. "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" were songs by Mrs. John Kongs and the Misses Carol Sue Clowe, Myra Ann Crandall and LaDonna Myers, with Mrs. C. H. Baldwin, accompanist.
