Mrs. Henry Huinker Passes Away. Monday morning, Feb. 6, 1911, Mrs. Henry Huinker died at her daughter's home at Cresco, Iowa, at Jthe age of nearly 86 years, and on Wednesday forenoon at 10 o'clock she was placed at rest beside her husband in the Festina cemetery, the funeral being held in the Catholic church, Father Rubly officiating.

Catherine Ellert was born in Westphalen. Germany, in the month of March, 1825.

When about thirty years of age she was united in marriage with Henry Huinker, at Racine, Wis., soon after which she and her husband moved to Iowa, locating near Festina, on the farm now known as the Joseph Thuente place, and lived in that vicinity until after the death of Mr. Huinker which occurred about four years ago. Two years ago she went the Cresco to make her home with a married daughter, Mrs. Herman Holthaus, where she died as above stated.

She was the mother of seven children of whom four are living, Henry, Theodore H., Mary (Mrs. Holthaus) and Joseph; John, Barney and Kate being dead.

Thus a good and kind hearted woman goes to her reward after a long and useful life on earth. May she rest in peace.

We extend our sympathy to the be bereaved.— Calmar Courier.
