Mrs. Bertha A. Henschel Passes Away in New Auburn Town Monday Afternoon.
Mrs. Bertha Amelia Henschel, widow of the late Henry Henschel, passed away at the family homestead in New Auburn township last Monday afternoon, August 10, at 2:00 o'clock. She had been ailing for several months with tumor and on November 29, 1935, underwent a surgical operation that gave her temporary relief, and on March 26 this year submitted to a second operation that apparently proved very successsful and following which she enjoyed fairly good health. However, she suffered a relapse and on June 12 took to bed and her health gradually declined until the end. She was aged 55 years, 4 months and 4 days.
The late Mrs. Henschel was the daughter of the late John and Justine Krecklau. She was born aboard ship April 6, 1881, in the English channel, when her parents were emigrating from Zembelburg, West Prussia, Germany, to the United States. They came directly to Sibley county and settled on a farm in New Auburn township where the deceased grew to womanhhood.
She was confirmed April 15, 1894, by Rev. A. L. Schmidt at Zion's Lutheran church New Auburn township. On November 23, 1900, she was united in marriage with Henry A. Henschel who preceded her in death on November 11, 1933. To them one son and three daughters were born who survive their mother, they are Mrs. Richard Grochow (Lillian) of Brownton and Harvey, Alice and Sadie who reside at the family home.
Mrs. Henschel is also survived by three brothers, namely Emil and Ed. Krecklau of Noonan, N.D., Adolph of Minneapolis, and William and Henry of New Auburn township, and three grandchildren, Wallace, Willard and Carol Grochow.
Funeral services will be held this afternoon from the home at 1:30 o'clock and from the Church of Peace in this city at 2:00 o'clock. Rev. J. H. Bunge will officiate. Interment will be in High Island cemetery at New Auburn alongside the grave of the departed husband.
The late Mrs. Henschel was beloved by all who knew her. She was a Christian and motherly woman, and one who was intensely interested in the welfare of her children. She was a good and generous neighbor who was ever ready to assist those in illness or distress. To the end she maintained those honest and thrifty traits of character as taught by her sturdy parents of the Fatheralnd and which she, too, religiously impressed upon her children. Mrs. Henschel grieved to the end over the death of her husband whose loss she felt keenly.
The innumerable friends of the sorrowing children extend to them deepest sympathy in the loss of a good mother.
