Mrs. H. Henningsen, Sr., nee Anna M. RIchen, was born in Rensburg, Germany, Feb. 15, 1849. Coming direct to Lyons, Ia., in 1868, she was married to H. Henningsen, Nov. 5, 1870, just forty-seven years ago Monday of this week.

To this union were born seven children, four dying in infancy, leaving to mourn her the husband, two sons, H. Henningsen, Jr., and Otto H. of this city, one daughter, Miss Metha at home and one grandson.

She suffered a paralytic stroke four years ago, being an invalid since that time. She was an ever cheerful and patient sufferer, but gradually failing, she passed away peacefully at her home Tuesday morning.

A loving wife, a mother untiring in her devotions to her children, and one ever ready to do all in her power for her friends.

Funeral services will be held at the residence 404 Wallace avenue, at 2 o'clock Thursday.
