23 June 1911 - The Lowden News

Death, the invincible conqueror, brought great sorrow to a happy home here by taking away the wife and mother, right in the prime of her life.

Mrs. Wm. Kreinbring nee Annie Masek was born at Blavitz, Bohemia on September 29, 1872. She died at her home at Lowden, of heart trouble, on June 20, 1911, at the age of 38 years, 8 months and 21 days, she having been sick for three weeks.

Deceased came with her parents to America in 1881, first residing in Lisbon, Iowa. She was married to Wm. Kreinbring on October 29, 1891. To this happy union were born ten children, four sons and six daughters, namely, Louis, Augusta, Willie, Hubert, Freddie, Luetta, Viola, Norma, Bernice and Beatrice, all of whom survive with the grief stricken husband, as also her mother, three sisters and four brothers, to mourn her untimely demise.

The departure of Mrs. Kreinbring appears particularly sad on account that several of her children are quite young, the youngest a pair of twins only about four months old. The whole community sympathizes deeply with the bereaved family.

The funeral will be held this afternoon, of which we will make more mention next week.
