Another pioneer resident of Carroll county passed to her reward last Friday evening when Mrs. Chris Wenck died suddenly at her home on North Clark street. Although past 80 years of age, Mrs. Wenck had been able to maintain her usual household duties until Thursday, when she complained that she did not feel as well as usual. Friday morning she became seriously ill and medical aid was summoned, but owing to her advanced age nothing could be done and she passed away that evening. Mrs. Wenck had been a resident of Carroll county since 1876 and of the city since 1899. She was born Mary Rabe, at Mecklenburg, Schwerin, Germany, November, 7, 1837. She came to America in 1866, locating first at Joliet, Illinois, where she was married to Chris Wenck in the year following. In 1876 Mr. and Mrs. Wenck purchased a farm in Sheridan township and resided there until their removal to this city. The deceased was a woman of rip experience and splendid christian character. As the mother of six children she took keen delight in the rearing of her family and not- withstanding the many cares of the home she was intensely interested in the work of the church which was very dear to her heart. For almost forty-three years she had been a loyal and faithful member of the Methodist church. She was a true type of the industrious womanhood that has greatly helped to make this community what it is today. Besides her husband and one brother, she leaves to mourn her loss, three sons and three daughters: Henry, Fred and John, and Mrs. Emma Onken, Mrs. Mary Wasmund, of Worthington, Minnesota, and Mrs. Ann Heuton, of Carroll. She is also survived by twenty-two grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Funeral services were held from the methodist church Sunday afternoon, Rev. J.P. Lester officiating in the absence of Rev. Sheppard, who is on his vacation. THE CARROLL TIMES, Carroll, Iowa, Thursday, August 22, 1918.
