IN MEMORIAM
In the death of Mrs. Frank Kuensting (nee Anna Luecke) another home is stricken with sorrow as only the loss of a faithful spouse and mother can cause. Deceased, whose death, as noted in last week's issue, occurred in her home Wednesday 6 a.m. Sept. 3rd, 1924, was born near Westphalia, Mo., Sept. 28th 1856.
Her schooling and early training were received under the tutelage of the Ven. Sisters in the Parochial School at Westphalia. Her marriage to her surviving husband, former Judge Frank Kuensting, took place at Vienna. Feb. 22nd, 1879, The new home became the permanent scene of her life's activity and she lived to assist in and enjoy the prosperity of her two sons who now, with their aged father, are residing therein. The Kuenstings were blessed with seven children and twenty grandchildren yet living. Their children are: Mrs (Antoinette) Peter Wansing, of Vienna; Mrs. (Christine) George Schoenaur, of California; Mrs. (Teresa) John Richter, of Kansas City; Mrs. (Anna) J.C. Specker, of St. Louis; William A., of Vienna; Mrs. (Elizabeth) T.G. Iven, of Linn; and Charles M., of Vienna. Mrs. Kuensting is also survived by two brothers: Mr. Frank Luecke, of O'Keene, Okla., and Mrs. William Luecke, of Jefferson City.
Deceased had been ailing for about one year and a half. Not-withstanding her infirmities she continued to act the guiding mother of her home and when some months ago, by the marriage of her daughter Elizabeth, she found herself in charge again of full management she heroically rose to the emergency. The manifold duties of her big household, despite her age, did not keep her from finding time for and drawing inspiration from a systematic religious life. Her example in attending the recent Thirteen Hours, including the closing exercises in the evening with a kind of recreation spirit, were a kind of closing service in her life and should prove a lasting inspiration in the Kuensting home.
The body was embalmed by Undertaker S.G. Licklider and the funeral services were set for 8:30 Friday, Sept. 5th. After a Solemn Requiem at which the Rev. Father Fick and Father Clooney assisted, and the solemn obsequial [sic] prayers in the Visitation Church and at the parish Cemetery, the remains were laid to rest. A very large attendance of relatives and friends witnessed the sad rites to give testimony to the respect they wished to evidence towards the deceased. The adviser wishes to join the community in extending sympathy to the bereaved husband and children. May her soul rest in peace!
