Biography

Boller.-Helen Maxine, daughter of Jason and Emma (Miller) Boller, was born near Kalona, Iowa March 22, 1917; died at the home of her parents Friday evening April 9, 1937, after a long illness of heart failure and complications; aged 20 y. 18 d. She was not a strong girl from childhood up, lived much in open air, and enjoyed life very much, until a year ago she took sick and has not been well ever since. Just 11 weeks prior to her death she was confined to her bed continually and suffered considerable pain and unrest during that time. She was a quiet, peaceful, obedient girl, and accepted Jesus as her Savior. She was baptized Oct. 9, 1932, and united with the East Union Mennonite Church, where she was a faithful member until death. She is survived by her parents, a sister (Wilma) and a brother (Martin) both at home, 1 grandfather, 1 step-grandmother, and many other relatives and friends to mourn her early departure. Funeral services were held at the East Union Church April 11, in charge of the home ministers. Text, Eccl. 12 :1. "Dearest Helen, thou hast left us, Gone to dwell with angels fair; But 'tis God who has bereft us, By His grace we'll meet you there." Gospel Herald, April 22, 1937 - Vol. XXX, No.4 - page 94,95
