Simple impressive rites were conducted by the Rev. Marvin Schilling for Mrs. Elizabeth Perine Schaub at the Methodist Church on Tuesday afternoon, with the Flatley Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. The flowers were in charge of Mrs. Edward Ama, Mrs. John M. Birr, and Mrs. Arthur Rice, and the casket was borne to its last resting place in Woodlawn Cemetery by Wilton Johnson, Adolph Peterson, Russell Putnam, William and Herbert Temple and John Dobbertin. Miss Elaine Sinrud Sang "The Lords Prayer" and choir members rendered "Abide With Me" with Mrs. Blaine Peterson at the organ.

Mrs. Schaub was born Elizabeth Benson, December 19, 1862, at Cuvers Gulch, Colorado and was married to Albert E. Schaub on June 21, 1888 at Clinton, Wisconsin. They came to this community in 1907

Always active in church circles, Mrs. Schaub, established a record by holding a continous membership in the Women's Foreign Missionary Society since she was sixteen years of age. She studied music in Buffalo, and was well known for her talent and kept up her piano work until she became ill six months ago. Her Life was an exemplification of the Christian Ideals, and she will be greatly missed by her fellow workers in the church. She loved poetry, and was a composer of ability.

Survivors include one daughter, Mrs. Alice Hazeltine of Baraboo; three sons Benson of this city, William of Duluth, Minnesota and Reginald of Claredon Hills, Illinois; two sisters, Mrs. James Selkirk of Des Moines, Iowa, and Miss Irene Benson of Agusta, Georgia. There are a number of grandchildren, two of the grandsons being in the Armed Forces in the African and South Pacific Theaters, as well as several nieces.
