From the Rock Valley Bee, January 14, 1921:

YOUNG MOTHER SUMMONED

Mrs. John Hendricks died at her home in Stanley, N.Y. on Wednesday night, January 5, 1921. The remains were brought to Rock Valley for funeral services and burial, arriving here last Monday, ad funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon from the Christian Reformed church and the remains were buried in Valley View cemetery.

Mrs. Hendricks was born at Hull, Iowa, July 2, 1892. Her parents moved to Rock Valley vicinity when she was about ten years old and the rest of her life was spent here until last fall when with her husband and children she went to the State of New York where she resided at the time of her death.

She was united in marriage in the fall of 1908 to John Hendricks. To this union seven children were born, three boys and four girls, one a babe of but a few days. All are left to mourn the death of their mother.

Mrs. Hendricks was taken sick a few days ago with pluro-pneumonia, and while sick she gave birth to a babe the day before her death. Besides her husband and children she leaves to mourn her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. Moorlag, and two brothers and two sisters, all of whom have the deepest sympathy of the entire community in their sorrow.

From the Alton Democrat, January 15, 1921: Rock Valley News:

Mrs. Anna M. Hendricks, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. Moorlag, who died at her home at Stanley, New York, Jan. 5th, 1921, of pleuro-pneumonia, after an illness of three days duration, was brought here Monday for burial. The deceased was born July 2nd, 1892, at Hull, Iowa, and at the time of her death was 28 years, 6 months and 3 days of age.

She grew to womanhood, and on September 12, 1908, was married to John Hendrick[s], and with her husband moved on a farm and engaged in that pursuit for a number of years, when in the month of September, 1920, they moved to Stanley, N.Y., where they purchased a small farm and were enjoying a degree of prosperity, when by a mysterious providence she was called to her eternal reward, and her sun set in the noon-day of life. She was the mother of seven children, six of which survive her. The little infant of a few days died since the mother, and was buried in New York the same day the mother was buried here.

The husband will miss her keenly and especially the little children who need at this time the care and ministrations of a mother, which makes this act of providence pathetic, but must reverently submit to the inevitable, from which we cannot escape. May the bereft who sorrow for the departed, so live that when life shall terminate with them, they may find each broken link when they cross the mystical stream around which cluster the first experiences of disembodied spirits.

Funeral services were conducted at the Christian Reformed church of which the deceased was a member, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. H. Kuiper, pastor, officiating. After the ceremony her remains were entered in Valley View cemetery. The bereaved have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.
