GWENDOLYN (JONES) HUNKEL

MRS. HUNKEL IS DEATH VICTIM AT ROCHESTER
Granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Higgins To Be Buried Here
Hope that the crisis in the illness of Mrs. Edwin C. Hunkel, Milwaukee,
would be passed safely was destroyed when news of her death was received
at the Thomas Higgins home Monday night from Rochester, Minn. Mrs. Hunkel,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Jones and granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Higgins, had been taken to the Mayo clinic at Rochester three weeks ago.
Although her condition was reported to be critical during the last few
days, many friends in this city were hopeful until the time of her death
last night that she might rally. Her husband, parents, aunt, Miss Helen
Higgins, and Mr. and Mrs. Edwin C. Spindler of this city were at Rochester
at the time of her death and are accompanying the remains to Manitowoc
this afternoon.
Funeral Thursday
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon from the Higgins home,
North Tenth street, where Mrs. Hunkel was born 24 years ago.
Formerly Miss Gwendolyn Jones, Mrs. Hunkel spent her girlhood with her
parents in the south. Her parents (sentence unreadable) in Arkansas and
later went to Memphis, Tenn. There their daughter attended the private
schools of Miss Cook and Miss Hutchinson, later enrolling in Miss Dow's
school at Briarcliff Manor, New York.
Mrs. Hunkel later entered Miss Stone's school at Washington, D.C., from
which she was graduated. Her marriage to Edwin C. Hunkel of Milwaukee
took place June 6, 1931, at the home of her grandparents here, and was
one of the brilliant affairs of the season. The young couple took up
their residence at 1717 East Kane Place, Milwaukee.
Since her marriage Mrs. Hunkel made many visits to Manitowoc.
Survivors are her husband, parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Jones, grand-
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Higgins, city, paternal grandmother, Mrs.
Lucy S. Jones of Memphis, Tenn., and aunts, the Misses Helen and Eva
Higgins of this city.
Mrs. Hunkel was a member of the St. James Episcopal church of this city.
The Rev. W.F. Hood, rector of the parish here, will officiate at the
funeral services Thursday afternoon.
Interment will be at Evergreen cemetery here.
