DEATH CLAIMS OLD SETTLER

Mrs. Henrietta Kamradt Was Resident of Johnson Township Thirty Years

Death claimed Mrs. Henrietta (Henriette) Kamradt at her home on the Kamradt farm in Johnson township Friday, January 13, following an illness of two years. Death was due according to physicians to heart trouble from which she was a sufferer for a long time.

Mrs. Kamradt was a resident of the Merrill vicinity for the past thirty-five years and was respected and esteemed by all who knew here.

Mrs. Kamradt was a native of Germany where she grew up and passed her girlhood and was married. She was born December 12, 1855, and in 1880, May 2, was married to August Kamradt. They came to America in 1888 and located on a farm near Marcus. They came from Marcus to Le Mars and bought a farm in Johnson township and lived there for the past forty years. Mr. Kamradt died January 3, 1911.

Mrs. Kamradt is survived by her sons, Elon Kamradt, of Marcus; Hermann Kamradt and Otto Kamradt, of Johnson township; Paul Kamradt, of Hector, Minn.; Rudolph Kamradt, of Merrill. A daughter, Mrs. Anna Srock, died in November, 1928. There are twenty-one grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

The funeral services were held Sunday at the Lutheran church in Johnson township. Services were conducted by Rev. A. Schempp of Brunsville, in absence of the pastor, Rev. Gustave Meyer, who is ill, and interment was made beside the remains of her husband in the Johnson township cemetery.
