The Belding Banner, Thursday, April 15, 1943


Friends of Mrs. Janette M. Menkee, aged 75 years, were grieved to learn of her 
passing in death, late Thursday afternoon at her home, 117 W. Liberty St., 
following an illness of several months and which came as a result of a stroke 
of apoplexy.

Mrs. Menkee was a native of Otisco township, where she was born on July 28, 
1867.  She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George V. Snyder, well known 
residents of the township in those days and came to this city with her parents 
in 1886 and had resided here ever since.  She was married to Walter R. Menkee, 
one time alderman on the city council, from the third ward and who for many 
years operated a photograph gallery in the building now occupied by Dr. John P. 
Engemann.  Mr. Menkee passed away about six years ago.  The marriage took place 
in the home in which death occurred and was performed by Rev. C. I. Deyo, 
pastor at that time, of the local congregational church.

Mrs. Menkee was a member of the Congregational church and of the American 
Legion Auxiliary and also formerly belonged to the Pythian Sisters.  She was 
for many years active in all social and civic activities in the community.

Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Roy B. Salter, of Green Bay, Wis., who has been 
with her mother, caring for her ever since a short time after she started in 
with her last illness and also two sons: Ernest Menkee of Akron, Ohio, and 
George Menkee of Ferndale, this state, and a sister Mrs. Arminta Williams, of 
Windermere, Florida.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the Fales funeral home 
with Rev. Henry L. Ruse, pastor of the Congregational church, officiating, nd 
burial was by the side of her late husband in River Ridge cemetery.

Pallbearers were E. C. Lloyd, Emil Ferick, Clarence A. Wheeler, John M. York, 
John Karow and George W. Cota.
