RETIRED MAIL CARRIER
DIED SUNDAY MORNING
The community was saddened Sunday upon learning of the death of Henry Fredrick Alberding, a retired mail carrier and highly respected citizen of Knox for more than 27 years. He passed away Sunday morning, January 5 at an early hour following a two year period of illness, a recent stroke and fall which broke his hip several weeks ago, which hastened his death. Everything which loving hearts and hands could do was done to alleviate his suffering.
Mr. Alberding was born September 13, 1875 at San Pierre, Indiana. He came to Knox from North Judson 27 years ago.
On June 6, 1906, Mr. Alberding was united in marriage to Janette Graeber of North Judson, who was his faithful companion throughout the long years of his confinement.
Surviving to mourn his passing are his widow; two sons, William and Warren and one daughter Arles, of Knox; three brothers, Charles of San Pierre, Herman of Winamac and George of Logansport, and one sister, Mrs. Dora Kroft of Medaryville, Ind.; several grandchildren, and other relatives and friends.
Mr. Alberding was a member of the Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias lodges and the Knox Christian Church.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Knox Christian Church in charge of Rev. H. G. ___ and Kennedy-Braman Funeral Directors. Interment was made in the Pioneer Cemetery at North Judson.
Mr. Alberding spent 30 years in the employ of the U. S. Mail Service. He was transferred from North Judson to Knox in 1910 and was retired in 1935.
Mr. Alberding had a pleasant, sunny disposition and was respected and honored by all his friends. He affiliated with the Knox Christian Church in 1902 and remained faithful to the church and attended as long as he was able. He enjoyed the fellowship of christian people and enjoyed listening to religious ____ on the radio. He was a friend of all and will be missed not only by his family but by all who knew him.
