Mrs. John Endress Dropped Dead

At About Nine O’clock Friday evening At Her Home on Center Street.

Had Been Troubled With Illness but Was Around the House and in Fairly Good 
Health When Stricken – No Premonition of Her Sudden Demise.

Mr. and Mrs. John Endress have long been residents of the city, their home 
being at 350 Center street.  Mr. Endress went to church Friday evening, his 
wife remaining at home.  He returned home and was there with his wife and son 
William.  Mrs. Endress was up during the day and helped with the work.  In the 
evening she spoke of not feeling quite well and at about nine started to go to 
bed. 

It was at this time that she was troubled with a pain and the doctor and Fr. 
McCarthy were sent for.  She asked Will to raise her up.  He did so and she 
died in his arms.

Mrs. Endress’s maiden name was Tennis.  She was 48 years of age, Dec. 26, 1911, 
and was married to Mr. Endress in Grand Rapids.  He has worked in the Pere 
Marquette shops for the last twelve years and their home on Center street has 
been for the last two years.  The family is highly esteemed and the death is 
deplored by many friends.  The surviving members of the family are the husband 
and four children.  The children are two sons, William and Stephen, and two 
daughters, Frieda and Emma.

Mrs. George Wendall, a sister of Mr. Endress, and Miss Wendall were attending 
the oratorical contest at the Baptist church and just before the close of the 
entertainment were called out, when they were informed of the misfortune.

The funeral will be attended at nine o’clock Monday morning from the Church of 
SS. Peter & Paul, interment in Mt. Olivet cemetery.
