Daughter of Conrad and Clara (Kuhn) Niemeyer. Wife of Henry Wilke; married May 31, 1917. Mother of Lorna (Orcutt) and Hilda Wilke.

MRS. HENRY WILKE
Pastor Noack, who had confirmed Mrs. Wilke, married her, and christened her two children, was deeply moved during the funeral sermon, which he preached from the text, "If it be possible, let this cup pass from me." It was a comforting discourse, impressing all who heard it.
Mrs. Christine Wilke was a woman of beautiful Christian character. She had a winning personality and charm of manner. Always cheerfully helpful, always gentle and kind. Those who knew her intimately in her home life speak of her lovely disposition. She never purposely wronged or hurt anyone. She never had an enemy. Peculiarly sad are the circumstances of her death, and deep is the anguish of her loved ones grief. Only that faith that sustained her brave young life and enabled her to say, "God's will be done," can comfort and sustain them.
The three bereaved parents, the sorrowing brothers and sisters and the broken hearted husband have the sincere sympathy of hosts of friends in their overwhelming loss.
God lead your dear one gently on
Thro' that dark way we so much dread
And trusting Him, her pure soul won
That home, In radiant glory spread.
God does not cause you needless pain
He bids you trust in Him and wait.
We strive to know His plans in vain,
Until we pass beyond the gate.
O sad hearts trust His heart of love
The bruised reed He will not break
Nor your beloved from you take,
Except to Holier joys above.
And may it ease your grief to know
Though lone the way and desolate
That when God calls, you too shall go
To find your own within the gate.
