MRS. HENRY WENDEL, 71, PASSED AWAY MONDAY
Resident of Jackson County and Lakefield Community Since 1886
GOLDEN WEDDING WAS CELEBRATED IN 1932
Funeral Services Held Yesterday Afternoon at Immanuel Church
Mrs. Henry Wendel passed away at her home in this city early Monday morning at 20 minutes past two o'clock, following an illniess of several months of cancer of the liver. When attending physicians diagnosed her ailment and informed her that there was little hope of regaining her health, she accepted the verdict without fear and calmly awaited the will of her God whom she trusted.
Catharina Amalia Wendel, nee Witt, was born June 2, 1861, on the island of Fehmarn, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Here she was baptized in infancy, attended Christian Day school and was confirmed by Pastor Dechnichs in the spring of 1876.
She came to America in 1880 and located at Davenport, Iowa, in which city she met and married Henry Wendel in 1882. Four years later, in 1886, the couple moved to a farm in Hunter township, Jackson county, Minnesota, later moving onto a farm in Sioux Valley township. They resided there until 1910 when they retired from active farm work and bought a home in Lakefield where they have since resided continuously. As a climax to their long and happy married life they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in this city in 1932.
In April of this year she began to fail in health and the physician summoned diagnosed her malady as cancer of the liver, which brought her the realization that she could not regain her health. Patiently she awaited the end, but pleaded that her life might be spared to permit her to see once more her son Herman and loved ones in Canada. This wish was granted and from Innisfree, Canada, nearly 1400 miles north, came Herman and family, to be with her in the last few days of her life. All things being ready, her faith in the saving power of Jesus firmly established, the Lord called the spirit from the frail body to its eternal home. She was 71 years, four months and 12 days old.
Three children came to bless this kindly mother, one of whom, Henry, preceeded her to the Great Beyond in 1919. She is deeply mourned by her sorrowing husband, two sons, Chas. F. of Lakefield and Herman N. of Alberta, Canada, daugher-in-law, Mrs. John Micklos, eight grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon. A short service was held at the home at 1 o'clock followed with a public service at Immanuel Lutheran church, Rev A. Paul in charge. W.P. Schulz directed the rites. A male quartet sang a special number. Pall bearers were Henry Lock, James Rost, William Hecht, George Klinker, August Schultz and August Richter. Burial was in Immanuel Lutheran cemetary in west Lakefield.
