Poppe Funeral services were held at Wayne Zion Lutheran church at 1:30, Tuesday afternoon, for Mrs. Almuth Katherine Poppe, who died at her home south of Langworthy Sunday, July 25, at noon. The Rev. J. Willms, pastor of the church, was in charge of the services. Grandmother Poppe, as she was known to a great many loving friends, was born Jan. 24, 1861, at Hogelucht, Ostfriesland, Germany, a daughter of the late Harm Dirks and wife Engel. At the age of two years she came to the United States with her parents and for several years lived at Pella, Iowa. From there they moved to Jones county, where she had since resided. She was confirmed in the Lutheran church on April 6, 1879, and on March 8, 1883, she was married to John Fredrich Poppe, who died March 4, 1932. The union was blessed with eight children, of whom six survive their mother, two having died at an early age. For 46 years she lived on the old Poppe farm south of Langworthy, and had remained on the farm with her youngest son, Fred and family, since the death of her husband. She was a kindhearted, upright woman, and she numbered her friends by her acquaintances. Everyone who knew Grandmother Poppe admired her beautiful qualities. About three years ago she became ill, and her health failed until three weeks ago, when she became bedfast. Her death occurred at noon Sunday.
