Notes |
- Lessing, Nuddie Ela (Reese)
Mrs. Lessing Helped Organize Church; Was Cultural Leader
Mrs. J. F. Lessing, sister of Miss Lillian Reese, who was laid to rest in the Weimar Masonic Cemetery last Thursday, was leader of cultural activities in Schulenberg during her residence there.
Mrs. Lessing died here at the home of her sister Nov. 7 after having been in bed since suffering a broken hip several months ago.
She was a charter member of the Schulenburg Baptist Church, which was organized on the front porch of her home, and was a charter member of Baptist and Methodist women's organizations of Schulenburg. Her charter memberships included the Schulenburg chapter, Eastern Star and Columbus Music Club.
She was organizer of choral clubs in Schulenburg during her residence and always saw to it that people had tickets to cultural activities who could not afford them. A member of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, she was a former member of the UDC.
