• Notes

  _P_CCINFO 2-14330 From THE COLUMBUS (NE.) JOURNAL, April 21, 1905- DIED ERB--By the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Erb, which occurred in this city last Sunday night, passes from earthly scenes one of the first white women who ever lived in this section of Nebraska. Her residence here dates from the year 1857, when she came with her husband to Colfax county and settled on a homestead in the Shell Creek valley, near the old site of the Becker grist mill. Mr. Erb passed away fifteen years ago, after the family had moved to a farm two miles east of Columbus. The surviving members of the family are the following children: George Erb, of Alliance; Mrs. H.B. Reed, Mrs. Henry Engel, Mrs. George Engel, Mrs. John Byrnes, Misses Rose and Ellen Erb, of this community. The death of the late Mrs. Erb resulted after a recent severe siege of asthma. That she would pass away had been momentarily expected for a week or two prior to her demise. Had she lived until the 24th day of next August Mrs. Erb would have been seventy years old. She was born in Oberweier, Germany, and came to America when a girl sixteen years of age. She was married in 1853 to Michael Erb, at Columbus, Ohio. In 1856 they came to Omaha, and in the spring of the following year to Colfax county. The Erb family is one of the best known among the early settlers of this community, especially among the German people. There was a large attendance at the funeral in honor of Mrs. Erb, which was held at the German Reformed church Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. Neumarker conducting the service.
