FUNERAL OF MRS. REV. G. E. KIENLE
The funeral of Mrs. Rev. G. E. Kienle, whose death occurred at Spencer on
Tuesday of last week, was held from the German Methodist church on Friday
afternoon and was very largely attended. Mrs. Kienle was taken sick on
January 6, with peritonitis and only survived three days, dying on January
9. Deceased was a devout member of the German Methodist church and her
death has occasioned keen sorrow in the community where she was so well
known.

She was born in Milwaukee, on July 21, 1859, where she resided a great many
years. After the death of her father, she went to Galena, Ill., and made her
home with her sister, Mrs. Jacob Wernli, accompanying the family to LeMars
when they moved here in about 1875. She was united in marriage with Rev. G.
E. Kienle at LeMars on March 22, 1883, and three children were born of this
union, all sons. They are Edward, Clarence and Milton and they with her
sister, Mrs. Jacob Wernli, survive her. She was a most tender and devoted
wife and mother.

The services were conducted by Presiding Elder Rolfes, of Charles City, Rev.
Gaynor, of Dennison, Rev. Viller, of Storm Lake, and Rev. G. C. Rheinfrank,
pastor of the German Methodist church, all paying a glowing tribute to her
memory and her many virtues as a Christian wife and mother.

The attendance at the church was very large and the floral tributes were
exquisite. Floral pieces were sent from friends at her old home at Spencer,
from Des Moines, Sioux City and LaCrosse.

The Pallbearers were G. L. Wernli, C. A. Wernli, F. P. Wernli, E. C. Lucke,
Louis Steinheuser.
