MINA BUCHHOLTZ FEESER'S NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
**Newspaper Article** MRS. MINA FEESER - We are assembled in this House of God to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of a loyal friend a devoted and affectionate mother.  For a home to lose its mother is to lose its queen.  We may say of Mrs. Feeser "Her sun is gone down while it was yet day" and these words are quite suggestive as we gaze for the last time upon the face of this mother whose sun is gone down while it was yet day.  The frequency of death does not seem to lessen the sorrow it brings.  True when one has come to an old age, like a shock of corn fully ripe, the intelligence of death accords with the expected and the natural, and the mystery seems less impenetratable but when it is one in the prime of life, who had so much to live for and on whom the affections of many were set, the mystery depends.  Amid the sad sights of life and God knows there are many, the saddest is that of a mother sustain a loss incalcuable.

Mrs. Feeser was admitted to the Daughters of America on May 11, 1917 and was the old Past Councilor of Silver Star Council of Gettysburg, Ohio, she was always an active member and held office almost continuously.  Early in life she united with the Christian Church at Circle Hill, Ohio, and later transferred her membership to the Presbyterian Church at Gettysburg, Ohio.  Mrs. Mina Feeser was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bucholtz and was born in Miami County, Ohio, June 12, 1885, aged at death 37 years and 5 months.  Mina Bucholz was married to Harley Feeser January 12, 1902 and to this union were born four children all of whom survive.  Emerson, Herbert, Ralph and Mrs. William Nichols and one granddaughter.  Our sympathy goes out to all the sorrowing relatives and friends.
