Obituary from: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcolora/obits/obitso1.htm Obenhaus, William Dent Final Rites for W. D. Obenhaus, 80, Held Today Funeral services for William Dent Obenhaus, 80, former merchant at Oakland for more than 40 years, were held this (Thursday) morning from Hubbard Funeral Home, with burial in Masonic Cemetery here. The Rev. Howard Parshall, pastor of First Baptist Church, and Rev. Kyle Nagel, pastor of Weimar Methodist Church officiated. Mr. Obenhaus had joined the Baptist church as a young man, but there being no Baptist church at Oakland, had been a faithful worker in the Methodist church there for many years and later in the Weimar church. Ill for more than a year, he died at his home in Oakland Tuesday at 10 p.m. Born near Weimar Dec. 14, 1875, he was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Obenhaus. His mother was a ??dd [Trott], a native of England. His first wife, the former Miss Maude Sanders died and in 1919 he married Miss Lydia Bock at Weimar. Mr. Obenhaus and the late Oscar Sanders were partners in a general mercantile business for 35 years until Mr. Obenhaus bought the other's interest. Mr. Sanders died in January of this year. Illness forced Mr. Obenhaus to close the store a little over a year ago. Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Lydia Obenhaus of Oakland; two daughters, Mrs. Owen Willis of Fairbanks, Calif. And Mrs. Jess Scheller of Hearne; a brother, Ernest Obenhaus of Columbus; a sister, Mrs. Frank Sanders of Live Oak; and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A son preceded him in death many years ago. Pallbearers were six nephews, Chas. Zwiener of Galveston, Douglas Zwiener of Houston, Dr. L. C. Bock of Bryan, Chas. Bock of Hallettsville, and Frank and Wilbur Sanders. Weimar Mercury, September 7, 1956 |
