Funeral Services Held for Herning F. Henningsen
 
On Thursday afternoon, December 2nd, funeral services were conducted by Rev. 
Charles Hoffman at the St. John's Evangelical Church for Herning Fredrich 
Henningsen, an old pioneer of this county.
 
Mr. Henningsen was born on September 2, 1863 in Kappeln, Germany.  As a young 
man he came to America remaining here for seven years.  He then returned to 
Germany, where he was married to Miss Margaretha Larsen?, on May 5, 1896.  
With his bride of a day he again started a journey to the new continent and 
arrived in Lincoln, Nebraska; later went to Iowa, thence to Dakota, and in 
1902 moved to Payette County, where he and his family have ever since made 
their home.  To this union, six children were born, Emma Henningsen of 
Hoquaim, Washington, Dorothea, Fred and Werner Henningsen of Payette, Mrs. 
Harold Fuqua of Ashton, Idaho and Mrs. Frank Boone of Hailey, Idaho, all of 
whom survive him.  Also three grandchildren, his wife and a brother and sister 
in Germany.
 
Several years ago Mr. Henningsen's health began to decline.  All the skills of 
physicians supported by the kindly and self-sacrificing ministrations of the 
family failed to restore his health.  Courageously and patiently he bore up 
under the strain of continued and increasing disability, kind and 
uncomplaining and with Christian fortitude preparing for the inevitable.
 
The large concourse of friends and the beautiful floral offerings bore 
testimony to the esteem in which the departed was held and gave evidence of 
sincere sympathy for the bereaved family.
 
The funeral sermon was based upon the comforting assurance of Jesus as friend 
and Savior and was concluded with the words of the Christian poet: 
"When at last to our home we gather
With the loved one who have gone before;
We shall sing upon the shore,
Praising Him forevermore.
Yes, the best friend to have is Jesus."
 
A quartette sang "Nearer my God to Thee," and "Abide with Me."  Interment was 
made in Riverside cemetery.
 
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for their kind expression of 
sympathy and help during our recent bereavement and for the many beautiful 
floral offerings.
Mrs. H. F. Henningsen and family
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Henningsen
