OBITUARY OF MRS. R. A. BLEICH The deceased, Mrs. Louise Margaret Bleich nee Falk was the daughter of Mr. John Falk and his wife Louise Mueller. She was born May 11, 1887 at Castle Rock, Wis. As an infant she was brought to the arms of Jesus through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, the Rev. Anderward officiated. Mrs. Bleich came to Iowa with her parents in 1894. The family settled near the Phelps home, west of what is now Titonka in Portland Twp. They conducted a country store and Post Office. Here in Portland Township she received her schooling. In 1899 her parents moved their store into the newly founded town of Titonka. The family attended the Lutheran Church at Plum Creek. In the spring of 1902, after a course of instruction in the fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion, she gave testimony of her faith in the Lutheran Church by the rite of confirmation. The Rev. M. Behrends was pastor of this church. She was united in marriage to Reinhard A. Bleich on Sept. 12, 1906 by Passtor Behrends. the wedding service took place on the Bleich farm East of Burt. This union was blessed with two children: Luella - Mrs. O. T. Cherland of Lone Rock and Raymond A. Bleich of Libby, Mont. The young couple made their home on the Bleich farm until 1923 when they moved to Burt. During the depression of the early thirties from 1932 to 1935 they again lived on the farm, coming to Burt once more in 1936 there they lived since, and where she also passed away last Mon. Mrs. Bleich was an active member of the Lutheran Church all her life. At first she was a member of the Plum Creek Lutheran Church, and when it was dissolved, she and Mr. Bleich joined St. John's Lutheran of Burt in the yr. 1913. Mrs. Bleich was also an active member of the Ladies Aid, being a charter member of the same. Sept. 12, 1956 the Bleichs were permitted to celebrate their Golden Wedding anniversary. Mrs. Bleich realized that it was a special privilage and she enjoyed it with a thankful heart. While Mrs. Bleich has been under the Dr. care for several yr. she enjoyed comparatively fair health and was able to be around. Mon. afternoon her daughter Luella came to help her prepare for the meeting of the Birthday circle to which she belonged, and which was to be held in her home this afternoon. Mrs. Cherland had just left when Mrs. Bleich lay down to rest and read. But the Lord felt that she deserved a longer rest and so He called her home on last Mon. evening, Jan. 7, 1957 at the age of 69 yr. 7 mo. and 27 days. Those whose hearts have been made sad by this parting are: her husband Mr. R. A. Bleich, her daughter Luella, Mrs. O. T. Cherland of Long Rock and husband, Her son Raymond Bleich of Libby, Mont and wife and granddaughter Jerri Lynn. Three brothers: Otto Falk of Tacoma, Wash., Arthur Falk of Salem, Oregon and John Falk of Algona, Iowa and a host of other relatives and friends.7
