MRS. TINA GARRELTS
DIED THIS MORNING
Widow of Late Henry G. Garrelts
and Well Known Good Woman --
She was 71.
The death of Mrs. Tina Garrelts, widow of the late Henry G. Garrelts, came peacefully in her home, 635 South Eleventh street, at 8 o'clock this morning. She always enjoyed good health, until about the middle of October, at which time she became ill. Later, it developed that she was suffering from a leakage of the heart, and she remained in her bed most of the time afterward.
Her death ended a long and useful life, the last fifty years of which was spent in Quincy. Mrs. Garrelts was born in Horsten, Ost Friefland, Germany, on November 18, 1848, and just nine days ago, she observed her seventy-first birthday.
In company with her parents, she emigrated to this country, and located here about 1870, and three years later, was married to Henry G. Garrelts. Mr. Garrelts, who was the founder of the firm Henry G. Garrelts & Sons at 815 State street, died in the family home on December 14, 1916.
In October, 1918, at which time the influenza epidemic was prevalent here, a son, George Garrelts, a member of the firm, died a victim of that disease, as did his sister, Mary Garrelts, eight days later. Three daughters and one son are still living. They are Miss Anna and Miss Lane Garrelts, and Henry H. Garrelts, all of whom reside in Quincy, and Miss Clara Garrelts of Springfield. One sister, Miss Sophia Schoenweis, of Petersburg, Ill., and four grandchildren, are also left to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Garrelts was a member of the Salem Evangelical church, and the Ladies' Aid society of that congregation. Many years of her life were spent actively in church work, and at all times, she was glad to help in the good work. Loved by all those who knew her, she departs from this life leaving behind a host of friends who will deeply mourn her death.
Funeral arrangements have not been made, but will be announced later in The Herald.
