 UNEXPECTED DEATH AT HATFIELD HOME

 

 Mrs. Henry Houselog Dies Saturday Afternoon; Funeral at Woodstock 

 Today

 

 The death of Mrs. Henry Houselog, well known and highly esteemed 

resident of this county, occurred at her home two miles east of 

Hatfield about 5:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon.

 She had been in poor health for almost a month, suffering from 

heart trouble, but was up and about her household duties for the 

last week. She had been in Pipestone Saturday afternoon, and 

returned to her home about four o'clock. When her husband came in 

from the field a couple of hours later, he found her lifeless body 

on the bed.

 Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock at St. 

Martin's Catholic church at Woodstock, with Rev. Edward Scheuring 

officiating. Her four sons and two eldest sons-in-law acted as pall 

bearers: John, Joseph, Walter and Elmer Houselog, Henry Vanderak 

[sic Vanderah] of East Dubuque, Ill., and William Werner of 

Pipestone.

 Lena Josephine Demuth was born May 14th, 1866 in Grant county, 

Wisconsin. She was 71 years, 1 month and 19 days old at the time of 

her death.

 She grew to young womanhood in Wisconsin, and on April 4th, 

1894, she was united in marriage with Henry Houselog of Dubuque, 

Iowa. They lived there until the spring of 1909 when they moved to 

Burke township in this county, where they have made their home since 

that time.

 She was a kind and loving wife and mother, a generous and 

helping friend and neighbor, never too tired or busy to lend her 

helping hand. She was a devoted member of the Catholic church and 

active in all church work, and will be greatly missed by all who 

knew her.

 She leaves to mourn her death her husband and eight children: 

Mrs. Mary Vanderak [sic Vanderah] of East Dubuque, Ill.; John, 

Joseph and Elmer of Woodstock; Mrs. Louise Werner, Mrs. Angeline 

Blomgren and Walter Houselog of Pipestone; and Mrs. Margaret 

Blomgren of Elkton, S.D.

 There are also thirty grandchildren and seven great 

grandchildren. One brother, Joe Demuth of Dubuque, Iowa and one 

sister, Mrs. John Weber of Bellingham, Minn., also survive.
