Tuscumbia was cast into gloom Monday afternoon when the
announcement came that Mrs. J.E. Kallenbach had passed away at 2:00 o'clock. Her death had been momentarily expected for several hours, since her condition gradually grew worse following a stroke of paralysis she suffered a
few days previously.
Hattie Maylee Thompson Kallenbach was born on October 18, 1865, near Prague, Czechoslovakia. As an infant she came to America with her parents who, after residing in Chicago and later in Hannibal Missouri, for short periods, settled in this county. She grew to womanhood in this community and resided here until her death on April 30, 1934.
In 1881 she was united in marriage to John R. Thompson, of
Tuscumbia, who preceded her in death on June 9, 1886. To this union were born three children, all now living-Mrs. H.M. (Ida) Atwell, of Eldon, Mo.; Frank L. Thompson, of this place; and Chas. C. Thompson, of Portland, Oregon.
On October 28, 1894, she was united in marriage to John Edward Kallenbach, of Tuscumbia. The wedding was solemnized by Rev. Edmund Wilkes, at Eldon, and they were the first couple to be married in the Christian Church which is still in use. To this union were born six children, of whom five survive her-Leonard E., Dewey E., Joseph E., and Mrs. C.E. (Hattie) Fendorf of this place, and Mrs. Asa (Alma) Mayfield, of Tipton, Oklahoma. A
sixth child, Halley, died in infancy.
She leaves to mourn her passing, her husband, eight children, nine grandchildren, and one great-grandchild; and also a half brother, John. A brother, Frank, was taken by death in 1931.
While still a young woman she became one of the charter members of the Tuscumbia Christian Church. Her work and her home were the constant inspirations I her truly Christian life. In her death the husband loses a faithful companion, the children a kind and devoted mother, and the
community a good neighbor and friend.
Arrangements are being made to hold services at the Tuscumbia Christian Church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30. Services will be conducted by Rev. S.A. Crouch, the pastor and burial arrangements are in charge of the Phillips Funeral Home.
