Pioneer Lansing Mother Passes To Her Reward
Mrs. Henry Lenz, 81 Years Old, Dies at Home near Public School
A wide circle of relatives and friends are grieved Monday afternoon to learn of the death of Mrs. Henry Lenz, which took place at her home near the public school at 3:30 o'clock. While not in the best of health for some time she been up and around until Tuesday of last week, when she suffered a fall - possibly a light stroke - and pneumonia developed later; the estimable old lady passing away as above stated.
Deceased's maiden name was Mary Gramlich, and she was born on the old homestead on Mays Prairie, June 4, 1857, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Gramlich, pioneer sttlers there, and she was 81 years, 7 months and 16 days old at the time of her death. She was educated in the rural home school and early joined the Methodist church; to which she ever since belonged. On March 28, 1876, she was married to Henry Lenz, and they celebrated their golden wedding, and a dozen anniversarieds since. They lived on their farm, where Mr. Lenz was a widely known breeder of fancy horses and pigs, until 1919, when they retired and moved to Lansing, which has since been their home.
The aged husband survives, with their eight children, as follows: Mrs. F. W. Bauman, Henry and William Lenz, Lansing; Mrs Wm Parks, Gillette, Wyoming; Mrs. Chas. Yahnke, Golden City, Minn; Mr. Theo Lenz, Colby, Wis.; Mr. Edwin Lenz, Eagle Bend, Minn; Mrs Geo. Bakewell, Maywood, Illinois. Also surviving is one sister, Mrs. Frank Geottle of Lansing; a foster son - Mr. Joseph Gang of Stugis Bay, Michigan; 30 grandchildren, and 9 great grandchildren. She is preceeded in death by her parents and one brother, Mr. Henry Gramlich, who passed away in May, 1927.
And thus, another of the true Christian pioneer mothers of this locality is called to her reward, after a well spent life in which her home and children were ever her first and chief concern. They will ever revere and cherish her memory; but her faithful husband of more than 62 ears married life - now left alone - will grieve and pine until called to join her in a better land beyond the skies.
All her children plan on attending the funeral, if weather conditions make it possible to get here. If Mrs. Parks arrives from her western home on time, the funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at Lansing Federated church. If not, it will be on Friday, and more definate annoucement will be made later. Internment will be made in the family lot in Lansing Ridge Cemetery.
Peace to her ashes.
