REMSEN RESIDENTS CALLED. Mrs. Carl Recknagel …Pass Away
Mrs. Carl Recknagel passed away at her home in Remsen early last Friday morning, July 18, from gall trouble and other complications with which she was a sufferer for over two months. She is survived by her husband and four sons. The funeral was held Monday afternoon with interment in the Remsen cemetery. Mrs. Recknagel was 71 years old.
Mary Hollant was born Aug. 9, 1851 in the village of Underschonan, Hesson Nassau, Germany, and lived with her parents until she reached young womanhood. In September, 1875, in her native home she was united in marriage to Carl Recknagel, also of that place, and the couple continued to reside there for seven years longer, Mr. Recknagel following the trade of a carpenter. Mr. Recknagel came to the United States in 1883 for the purpose of finding a suitable home for his family here and first went to Kansas City where he lived for several months later settling on a farm near Newhall, Benton county, Iowa. There he engaged in farming, and also sons Edward and Leonard, who came worked at the carpenter trade. In the following year he sent for his family, consisting of his wife and two sons Edward and Leonard, who arrived here in 1884. The family lived in Benton county five years, and in 1888 came to Remsen settling in town. Mr. Recknagel immediately took up the carpenter trade and worked at this until several years ago. The surviving children, who together with their father, mourn the loss of their loving mother are: Leonard Recknagle Remsen; Edward Recknagel, Fonda; Bernardia Recknagel who lives at home with her father; August Recknagel of Remsen and Albert Recknagel of Sioux City. – Le Mars Globe-Post, Monday, July 31, 1922, page 4.
