DEATH OF LUDWIG HENkE

In the death of Ludwig Henke the
town of Grant and vicinity loses anr
other old time settler and highly
honored citizen. The continued loss
of pioneers reveals the fact to the
present and growing generations that
those who suffered the hardships and
persevered in the trying times Of
those early days, are rapidly thinning
out and very few now remain who
came to these trying days. We aid
love and honor and regret the loss
of each pioneer as they rapidly sue
ceed each other into the great be-
yond.
Ludwig Henke altho nearly have
ing reached the three score and ten
mark was a we'll preserved man and
until he contracted a severe case
of pneumonia about four years ago
was always hale and hearty.
A week ago Saturday he was sui
fering with slight cold but he came
to the Rapids and tended to his bus
mess as usual and on returning home
he felt chills and by Sunday his
cold had developed into another Sc
we're case of pneumonia from which
he passed away Saturday afternoon
March II, 1914 at two O'Clock.
The deceased was born i'm Lestine,
Germany in 1847. He and his faani-
ly came to America in the spring Of
1874 and settled ON his present farm
in the town of Grant.
Ludwig Henke was born on the 10,
of March 1847 and was therefore 67
years OF age lacking two days.
He is survived by his wife and sew
en- children, Charles of the town OF
Grant, Mrs. Bertha Loeffelbeins Mrs.
Melia Witt, Fred Henke and Will
Henke OF Grand Rapids, Mrs. Anan-
da Luhrsen of Eau Claire, and Lou

A calm and undisturbed repose
Unbroken by the last of foes
Asleep in jesus far from thee,
Thy kindred and their graves may
be;
But thine is still a blessed sleep,
From which nere ever wake to weep.

consin. Fond du Lac may well count |
itself fortunate in having had his |
