Henry Klemme Called to Reward

Henry Chistian Klemme was born March 30, 1856, at Crete, Illinois, the oldest of 12 children of Henry Klemme and Catherine Cragen. He lived on his father's farm until he was a young man, and attended the local schools. In 1885 he was married to Wilhelmina Glade and soon afterward the young couple came to Plymouth county, settling on a, farm near Akron, in Preston township. There they lived until 1912 and reared their family, moving then to Le Mars and in this city they have made their home ever since.

Seven children were born to them, of whom five survive. One child died in infancy; another, age 19, in 1918.

About fifteen months ago Mr. Klemme sought the aid of a physician and his sickness was diagnosed as kidney trouble which became steadily worse, although the best of medical care was sought in Le Mars and Sioux City. His death occurred Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Surviving him are his wife and the following children: Fred Klemme, Akron; Walter Klemme, Le Mars; Mrs. Chas. Juergenson, Akron; Mrs. Herman Schmitz, Craig; Mrs. Wm. Juergenson, Akron; also 19 grandchildren; 4 brothers, John, Wm. And Carl, at Crete, Illinois; Theodore, at Dyer, Indiana; two sisters, Mrs. Fred Bremer, Crete, HI.; Mrs. John Heldt, Grant Park, Illinois

The funeral will be held at 1 p. m. from the house Saturday, and at 1:30 from St John's Evangelical church. Rev. Paul Van Dyke, officiating. Interment will be in the Preston township cemetery. Mr. Klemme has for many years been a member of St John's Evangelical congregation of Le Mars, and for six years he has served as a member of the church council of this congregation.
