Obituary - William Jahnke
William Jahnke died at his home Feb. 15th. He was born in the village of Wimmentin, near Auclam, Pomerania, on April 9th, 1824. Leaving Germany in 1869, he came direct to Clayton County, Iowa. In 1871 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Sophia Kregel. This union was blessed with three children.

Mr. Jahnke was engaged in farming until 1900, when the family moved to the home in Garnavillo, where the last years of his life were spent.

His death is mourned by his wife, three children: Ferdinand, Mrs. Clara Rademacher and Mrs. Louise Tangeman; three step-children: Wm. A. Kregel, C.F. Kregel and Mrs. Mary Rademacher; and seven grandchildren, all of Garnavillo.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. K. Wm.Braun at St. Paul's church last Wednesday afternoon.
