Obituary of Anna [Halfman] Remackel likely from the late December 1949 

Wilmont Tribune.

Submitter's Notes in [...]



MRS. J. REMACKEL WILMONT

	Funeral services were held at Our Lady of Good Counsel church on 

Thursday morning, December 29th at nine o'clock for Mrs. Jacob Remackel 

and were conducted by the Rev. Urban Buchheit. Pallbearers were Alfred 

Balster, J. J. Broich, George Hebig, John Kremer, Tony Scholtes and Henry 

Stuntebeck. 

  Burial was made in the Wilmont Catholic cemetery.

  Anna C. Halfman was born on September 5, 1861 at Altenburg, Germany, 

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. [Anna Maria Cossmann] Peter Halfman. When a 

young girl she came [1881] to this country. On January 8, 1884, she 

was married to Jacob Remackel at Lyons, Iowa. [As of August, 2001, 

I've found no marriage record in the courthouse or Catholic churches 

in that (now, Clinton, IA.) vicinity.] They also lived at Wall Lake, 

Iowa before coming to Minnesota. 

[It was while living in Wall Lake that they 'acquired' the half-blood 

Native American infant, Walter Francis.]

  Mr. and Mrs. Remackel farmed south of Wilmont [West half sec. 25 

Larkin twp. Nobles Co. MN] for eleven years [1893-1904] and then moved 

to their home in the northwest part of Wilmont where they have lived 

for the past 45 years. They have been residents of Nobles County for 

the past 56 years.

  Mrs. Remackel has been ill for the past several years and seriously 

ill since last July. Death was caused from a heart ailment. She was 

88 years old. 

She was a member of the Catholic Ladies Altar Society.

  She is survived by her husband and an adopted daughter [natural 

daughter of the 'acquired' son, Walter Francis], Mrs. [Henrietta 

Remackel] Francis Arens of Rushmore [mailing address - actually the same 

West half sec. 25 Larkin twp. Nobles Co. MN], and six grand-children. Also 

surviving are a sister, Mrs. Mary Honnef of Barford, Sask, Canada and a 

brother, Reinhard Halfman of Elgin, Nebraska. Two sisters and two brothers 

preceded her in death. [It's interesting that no mention whatever is made 

of Jacob and Anna's "acquired" or possibly, adopted, son, Frank (Wm.) 

(Walter Franciscus) Remackel. Maybe it's because they didn't know if he 

was dead or alive.]

  Sympathy is extended the relatives by their many friends in their 

bereavement.
