MRS. HENSCHKE DEAD
	It becomes our sad duty this week to chronicle the death of one 
of our old and highly respected residents, Mrs. Aug. Henschke of West 
Arlington, who died Saturday evening at 8 o&#146;clock.  She had not been 
well for the last two and a half years, but nothing serious developed until 
a few days before her death, and everything that could be done was done 
to relieve her of the fate that was starring her in the eyes, but proved 
of  no avail.  Death came very suddenly as a result of heart failure.
	Mrs. Aug. Henschke (nee Julia Iseler) was born in Lauenburg, 
Province Pommern, Germany, on July 11th, 1841, and therefore she was 65 
years, 10 months and 7 days of age at the time of her sudden demise.  
She came to the country with her parents in 1863, when 22 years old, 
settling in Milwaukee.
 She married Gottfried Papke in 1859, and their union was blessed with
seven children, of whom six are living.  They are Mrs. Wm. Mansfield of
Bone Trail, N.Dak; L. A. Papke of Gaylord; Joe of Gibbon; Gottfried of
Minneapolis; Mrs. Geo Beal of Seattle, Wash., and Frank of Stanley, N.Dak. 
They removed to Minnesota in 1871 and settled on a farm near Henderson.
	In 1880 she was married to Aug. Henschke and removed to Dryden 
township, settling on a farm about four miles west of this place, where 
they resided up to about eight years ago, when they moved to West 
Arlington.  Three children were born to them, one being dead and two 
living.  Those living are Ernest and John.  Aug. Henschke, her second 
husband, preceded her to the Great Beyond on Sept. 24, 1903.
	She was a kind mother and her sudden death is indeed a hard blow 
dealt the bereaved children.  It wasn't our will but it was God's that 
was done.
	The funeral was held from the house yesterday at 2 o'clock p.m. 
and many were those who paid her their last tribute.  Interment was made 
in the West Arlington cemetery, Rev. Robt. Heidmann officiating at the 
last sad rites.
	The entire community joins with the bereaved relatives in this 
their hour of sorrow.
