Obituary of Mrs. C. Klinkert
	Died at her home in Wood Lake on Saturday evening on March 20th 
at 9 o’clock, Mrs. C. H. Klinkert, aged thirty-three years.
	All the care and love that two physicians, Drs. Moore and Beck, 
and an anxious household could devise and apply for her comfort and 
assistance were brought into play, but the suffer’s spirit took its 
flight to that home the Christian believes is the fulfillment of the 
life everlasting.
	She ran the journey of her life in thirty-three years.  It is a 
path with deeds of kindness and cheer.  While she has gone from the 
scenes, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will still 
live in the hearts of those who knew her best.
	Mrs. Klinkert was born in Kelso, Sibley county, Minnesota, on the
twenty-first day of December, 1875.  She moved with her parents to Lyon
county in the year 1880 and was confirmed in the German Lutheran church in
Posen by Rev. Scheitel when fourteen years of age.  Her mother died in
January, 1901 in Stanley township and Anna Warnke, which was then her
maiden name, helped shoulder the duties and cared for her aged father and
helped to keep house for the family.  In the year 1903,  removed with the
family to Wood Lake and was a useful member of the household until Dec.
10th, 1907, when she was married to C. H. Klinkert and became queen of her
own home.
	In October, of the year 1908 a darling baby girl was born and 
lives with its bereaved father to mourn this untimely death.
	The funeral was held in the German Lutheran church at this place 
on Monday afternoon at four o’clock, Rev. Naumann officiating.  The 
interment was made in the German Lutheran cemetery.
	The pall bearers: R. Schmidt, Emil Bushian, Henry Schlenner, 
Louis Heyer, Henry Braasch and Otto Schultz.
	Those from other places who attended the funeral were:
	Thomas Klinkert, Christ Narr, Miss Emma Narr and John Narr and 
wife, of Arlington; Miss Maggie Narr of St. Paul; Fred Lieske, Geo. 
Kuchner and son Albert of Gaylord, and Theodore Abraham and wife of 
Winthrop.
	The deceased is survived by her father, one sister and four 
brothers, Wm. Warnke Se., Mrs. T. Abraham of Winthrop, and W. H. Warnke, 
Albert and Geo. Warnke, of Wood Lake, and Henry Warnke of Flaxton, N. D.
	We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the death stricken husband, 
the homeless child and the bereaved relatives. --- Wood Lake News
