Taken from his wife's obit

On December 27, 1883, she was joined in marriage to Carl Hendrickson, and they settled on the farm in Borst valley, now owned by her son, Albert, with whom she made her home since her husband’s death, although she spent a great deal of her time between her two daughters.

Her last years were saddened by the sudden death of her husband on July 18, 1918, and the home was further broken up by the call of her son Leonard into the service of the U.S. on October 5, 1918. She received the sad message that her son was dying at Camp Grant, where he died the following day without any of his dear ones at his bedside. He was brought to the old home for burial and was laid to rest beside his father on October 11, 1918.

She leaves to mourn her death six children,
1. Hilbert at Eau Claire;
2. Albert on the home farm; married Clara Witt
3. Olin, also in Borst Valley;
4. Alice Ida, Mrs. Fred Witt near Whitehall; (brother of Albert's wife Clara)
5. Eleanor, Mrs. Charles Sielaff of Maule Coulee; and
6. Arthur of Whitehall
7. Leonard (died 1918) buried October 11, 1918
