Mrs. Schaaf, nee Tina Lilienthal, was born in Hall county Feb. 2, 1873, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lilienthal. When she was six years old, the Lilienthal family moved to Merrick county, where Tina Lilienthal attained young womanhood. In this city, on April 25, 1891, Miss Tina Lilienthal married Henry Schaaf and they went immediately to their farm, three miles east of the city, to establish their home. They were successful in their farming enterprises and retired to their comfortable home in this city 10 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Schaaf enjoyed good health when they observed their golden wedding anniversary in 1941. Failing health caused Mr. and Mrs. Schaaf to close their home and go to reside with Mr. Schaaf's brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. August Schaaf, on their farm east of the city, five weeks ago. Mrs. Schaaf was baptized in the Lutheran faith.
