Formerly Trientje Maria Willms, she was born in 1878 in Germany and came to Scotch Grove in 1903. In the same year she was united in marriage with Henry Gerjets, and they farmed near Scotch Grove, Castle Grove and Center Junction until they retired to Monticello a few years ago.

Survivors are her husband; three sons, Harry, Otto and John; three daughters, Mrs. Anna Steindler, Mrs. Etta Luckstedt and Mrs. Lizzie Ruley; 14 grandchildren, four brothers and one sister.

Funeral arrangements are in charge of Rev. F. H. Kehren, her pastor.
