PASSING Of
MRS. VIC. HENKE
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Death is the foreshadowing of life.
We die that we may die no more. 1t
is when Death puts his hand upon one
we love that we understand the mean
ing of the word for the first time.
The many friends of Mrs. VIM. G.
Henke were shocked to learn of her
passing away which occurred at River
view Hospital Monday night at 10 o.
clock. Mrs. Henke was operated on
for appendicitis a week ago Friday;
but an abcess was found instead. Her
condition for that reason, was found
to be very grave from the start. She
failed to rally and caused her rela-
tives and friends great anxiety. The
last three days were exceedingly
anxious ones for all who loved her and
at 10 o'clock Monday night she an
swered the final summons unto haven
of rest.
Mrs. Anna Klein Henke was born
in the city of Grand Rapids on the
22nd day of February 1875. She was
40 years of age. She was educated
in the public schools of Grand Rapids
and graduated therefrom.
Following her graduation she taught
in the county schools. On October II,
1902 she was married to w. G. Henke
in this city who survives her.
Mrs. Henke was a devoted member
of the NJ. E. church and was Super
intendent of the Home Department of
the Sabbath school. She was a memb-
er also of the w. r. G. and E. F. u.
lodge and Treasurer of the NJ. w. K.
club. Her greatest pleasure lay in
performing those things that stood
for the best things and good of our
community, where she will be greatly
missed, and those who knew her best
loved her most.
Mrs. Henke leaves to mourn a de-
voted husband, two sisters, Mrs. Liz
zie Wagner and Mrs. Carrie Helke;
and two brothers Frank and Henry
Klein, all Of whom are residents of
Grand Rapids and were present at the
bedside during the final moments Of
the deceased.
The remains of the deceased are at
the home of her sister, Mrs. Frank
Wagner, on 3rd street north, from
which place the funeral will be held
at 1870 on Friday afternoon, and at
the M. E. church at 200, Rev.H. C.
Logan officiating.
