Elkader Register & Argus, Thur., 10 Mar. 1910.

At the family home in St. Olaf on Friday forenoon, March 4th, occurred the death of Mrs. Henry Wilke, after an illness of several years. Anna Marie Heiden was born in Grand Meadow twp., Clayton county, Dec. 23rd, 1875, and died at the age of 34 years and two months and 9 days. On Sept. 21st, 1897, she was married to Henry Wilke. To them were born two sons, Elmer and Clarence. Besides the husband and sons, she is survived by her mother, three sisters and two brothers.

The funeral was held Monday last at the Lutheran church at Farmersburg, services being held by Rev. Mr. Pett, assisted by Rev. Arveson, of St. Olaf. The interment was in the cemetery at Farmersburg. Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved family.

Thy chair is vacant, dear one,
And Oh! we'll miss thee here,
Thou were a loving wife,
Daughter and sister dear.
Through sickness and in trouble
Thy hands were never still
But here and there thy presence
Was sincerely felt.
Thy station at life's ending.
Was reached before the noon -
We'll follow thy example
And meet thee, perhaps soon.
