Classification: Query
Surnames: Luft, Lohnes, Hall
This person is not related to me, but I came across her obit while looking for Luft relatives. I am happy to share what a volunteer copied for me from the Almena (Kansas) Plaindealer newspaper.

This is Margaret (nee Lohnes) Luft's obit in a nutshell:
She was b. 28 Jan 1866 in Dillon, IL.
Married Jacob Luft 26 Feb 1885 in Dillon, IL.
They moved to Almena KS 1895. Farmed northwest of Almena.
They retired 1920.
Mr. Luft died 10 Sep 1938.
Margaret died at her daughter's home 21 Aug 1939.
The Lufts had 4 children. An infant daughter died 1899; son Oscar died 1908; son Walter, and daughter Eva (Mrs. Hall) survived their mother.
She was buried in the Mount Hope Cemetery beside her husband.

I do not have any more information about this family.
