Obituary. Mrs. Charles Bobzin
Minnie Lemke Bobzin was born in Mecklinburg, Schwerin, Germany on February 17, 1866, and departed this life at Kellogg, Iowa, on Saturday June 23, 1934. She came to Kellogg with her parents when three years of age, and has continued to make her home here since. During her fourteenth year she was confirmed in the Lutheran faith. In 1886 she was united in marriage with Charles Bobzin who preceded her in death August 4, 1926. To this union was born one son, Fred who has shared the home with her and has shown unlimited devotion to her during her declining years. She has been a kind, gentle and sympathetic mother to the children Carl and Bertha who were in the home when she came into it. She was ever mindful of others, seeking to do kindnesses for those with whom she came in contact, always solicitious of the comfort of others and unmindful of self. She was a very patient sufferer throughout her prolonged illness, never complaining of her pains but having a ready smile for everyone. Those left to mourn her passing are two brothers, Henry and Fred Lemke of this city; three children Fred and Carl Bobzin, also of this city and Mrs. H.E. Jones of Kirksville, Mo., besides four grandchildren.
