The Henkel family came to Hastings, Nebraska in 1912 where they lived for eight years. In 1920, they came to Bayard, Nebraska. Through ambition, thrift and God's blessings, the family acquired a beautiful home. The Church Record book designates that she was a faithful and active church member. Sister Henkel seldom missed a prayer meeting. For her soul provider, she always had a friendly word. She lived with her son, Philipp, and his family the last 16 years.
