SOPHIA HAEFKE

STROKE TAKES LIFE OF MRS. H. HAEFKE, SR.
Mrs. Henry Haefke, Sr., aged seventy-seven, and for 53 years a resident of this county passed peacefully away this morning at the home on 1012 Marshall street. Death was due to a stroke. Mrs. Haefke arose at the usual hour this morning apparently in the best of health. She ate breakfast and went about the morning's work. About 7:30 she was resting for a few minutes and passed away suddenly.

The deceased was born in Meckleburg, Germany on November 19, 1849. She was united in marriage there to Henry Haefke on her twenty-first birthday. Four years late the couple came to this country with one child and took up residence in Michigan but they remained there but a short time and came to this county and settled on a farm in Manitowoc Rapids where they lived up until nine years ago when they moved to this city. Five children were born to the pair, three, Ida Haefke, Mrs. Anna Kieselhorst and Henry Haefke all of this city, survive, with Mr. Haefke who has passed his eighty-first birthday and is in the best of health.

Funeral services will be held Thursday from the home at 1:30 and
2:00 from the Lutheran church with burial at Newton, the Rev. Machmiller officiating.
