Death of New Vienna Resident
Dyersville Commercial: This community was stricken with sorrow last Sunday when it was heard that Mrs. Henry Engelken had died after a brief spell of sickness, at the age of a little over forty years.
Mrs. Anna Engelken was born near Vienna on April 12, 1864, and was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Boeckenstedt. She grew up on the farm and was educated in the parochial schools at New Vienna.
On April 25, 1887, she was united in marriage with Mr. Henry Engelken in SS. Peter and Paul's church at Petersburg, and since then always resided on their farm in the vicinity. She is survived by her devoted husband and six children, Cecelia, Anna, Francis, Freda, Clemens and Henry who sadly feel the loss of a loving wife and mother. She is also survived by her aged parents and one sister Mrs. Bernard Engelken of Hickory Valley.
By her kind and neighborly deeds she has made a host of friends who extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.
The funeral took place on Wednesday morning and was attended by friends and relatives from far and near. The pall bearers were Henry Deutmeyer, Andrew Puetz, Michael Puetz, Joseph Gebhardt, Joseph Lansing and Henry Lammers.
Requiem services were held in SS.Peter and Paul's church by the Rev. Father Albera of Cascade after which the earthly remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near by to await the day of resurrection. May she rest in peace.
