ANTHONY HENGSTLER
The following clipping from the Delta
Independent, sent us by our Kanorado correspondent, is an obituary of a former Sherman county citizen. Mr. Hengstler, as stated last week, lived at one time down in McPherson township:
On Friday morning, at 5:14 o'clock Anthony Hengstler answered the summons to the Great Beyond, after an illness of five months at the home of his daughter in this city, Mrs. S. F. Richards. Deceased suffered an attack of grippe last December and never fully recovered therefrom, death being due to causes incident of old age, aggravated by this siege of la grippe. Anthony Hengstler was born April 6,
1836, at Wurtemburg, Germany, and died as above stated, May 12, 1916, being 80 years, 1 month and 6 days of age at the time of his demise.
He came to America at the age of fourteen, with his mother, following the death of his father. On November 10, 1862, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Gayer at Monmouth, Illinois. Nine Children were the issue of this union, six of whom survive: Herman Hengstler and Mrs. George Hess, of Bowden, Canada: Mrs. Josephine Davis of Paonla; Mrs. E. J. Maxwell, of Cedaredge: V. E. Hengstler of Bowing, Oregon, and Mrs. S. F. Richards, the last named being the only one present when the end came. There is also a sister eighty-two years of age residing at Monmouth, Illinois.
The body was taken to Paonla for interment beside that of his beloved wife who preceded him just twelve years ago. Funeral services were conducted at the home of Mrs. Josephine Davis, and the impressive message was delivered by Rev. Colister of Paonia. The casket was banked with flowers, mute evidences of the high esteem in which this splendid man was held. He died as he had lived—peacefully. When he realized that his days were numbered he made all arrangements for disposition of his property and stated that he was ready at all times to go whenever his father saw fit. This closes the life of a man who was a kind father, an upright man, a faithful friend, whose loss will be felt keenly by his children in this vicinity. To them the sympathy of the community is extended.
