Duane,
I can't begin to tell you how over joyed I was to find my grandmother's aunt Bertha Amelia Ferch-Kuss on your site and that was just after my daughter-in-law gave birth to my 1st grandchild earlier this morning.
I have obituary of Bertha's mother Julia Anna ARNDT B. 22 Nov 1842 in Rogasen, Posen, Germany. Paul Ferch b. 19 Feb 1918 is Bertha's nephew of your brother Gustav Adolph listed as unknown brother. I am of his linage.
I look forward to pass on information. You have done a beautiful job on your site.

More recently it was found that he was suffering from anaemia. About, three weeks ago he was confined to his bed and continued to become weaker and weaker. During this time he acquainted himself with Christianity, acknowledged and professed it, and received the Holy Baptism.

The middle of last week he fell into coma. His end came Friday evening at 9:40 o'clock. He attained the age of 66 years, 9 months, and 21 days. (Jan. 20, 1933)

Deceased is survived by his widow, Mary Warner, three sons, four daughters, 19 grandchildren, one brother, two sisters, and many other relatives.
