HENRY FENS DIES IN CHURCH 

Death called Henry Fens in a very dramatic manner Sunday morning while he was 
attending an early mass it St. Joseph's Church, Bellevue. Father Bies had just 
started services when Mr. Fens was heard to groan and sank to the floor in his 
pew. Several members of the church raised him up and carried him outside and 
immediately summoned Drs. Hanske and Dennison who found that Mr. Fens was 
beyound medical aid and he died in a few moments. Father Manternach 
administered Extreme Unction 

Henry Fens was born at Emsbueren, Germany, January 6, 1842 and came to the 
United States forty-five years ago, coming directly to Jackson County, which 
has since been his home. He was married in 1874 to Anna Klein, who with five 
sons, four daughters, his sister, Mrs. Mary Wilming of Bellevue and several 
brothers and sisters in the old country, survive him. The cjhildren are Mrs. 
A. Vandanacker, of LaMotte, Mrs. W. J. Meier, John, Henry and Albert of 
Bellevue; Ben, Frank and Catherine at home, a son Leo having died in infancy.
