Las Vegas Age - 4/5/1919
DIED



HEINECKE:  In this city, Friday morning, April 4, 1919, E. F. HEINECKE, of

broncho-pneumonia.

    Mr. HEINECKE was stricken with the influenza just a week before his

death, and in spite of every care and the heroic struggle he made, passed

away.

    Funeral services were held in Las Vegas at the undertaking parlors

Saturday afternoon at four o'clock, and were largely attended.  Rev. W. H.

ROGERS conducted the services and delivered an eloquent and touching eulogy

of the deceased as "A Prince among men."  The music was beautiful and

appropriate.

    The remains were taken to Los Angeles for interment.  News of the death

of Mr. HEINECKE's mother in Los Angeles was received Saturday morning and

services for the mother and son together will be held in Los Angeles.

    Mr. HEINECKE was born in Topeka, Kansas, April 6, 1885, and had he

survived two days longer he would have reached the age of 34 years.  In his

native state during the years of his early manhood he was in the employ of

the Cudahy Packing Company.  He came west to California in 1906, and was in

the employ of the Pacific Electric Railway until 1914 when he came to Las

Vegas.  During his first years here he was employed in the storehouse of the

Salt Lake road, later becoming identified with David Farnsworth in the

ownership of the Troy Steam Laundry and Cleaning works of which he was

manager at the time of his death.

    On May 22, 1916, he took as his wife Miss Marie Thomas who is left to

mourn the loss of a loving, kindly and true husband.

    But few achieve the position of respect and confidence in which Mr.

HEINECKE was held by his associates.  As a friend and companion he was

kindly, genial and true.  As a business man, the soul of honor and

integrity.  Such as ??? can be illy spared from our community.

    Besides his widow, the deceased left surviving him a brother, Elmer

HEINECKE, who is in the service of the country, stationed at Camp Kearney,

and a sister, Mrs. Elmer POTTER of Los Angeles.  Mr. and Mrs. POTTER and the

brother were in Vegas to attend the funeral services here, and with the

widow accompanied the remains to Los Angeles.

    The deep sympathy of the entire community goes out to those who mourn in

this double bereavement, the loss of the husband and mother so quickly

followed by the death of the mother, whose unfeeble condition could not bear

the blow of her son's untimely death.
