Married July 19, 1921 to John Herman Hinrichsen,Jr. Mother of Melvin Glen, Lester Lloyd, Jack Junior, Luree Mildred, Ivan Lee, Douglas Clark and Betty Lou. Mildred Elizabeth (Reis) Hinrichsen was born on June 10, 1905, near Richfield, Nebr., to Francis and Eva (Taylor) Reis, she was second in a family of six. Mildred passed away Wednesday, February 7, 1979, at the age of 73 years. She lived her early years in Richfield. On July 19, 1921, she was united in marriage to John Herman Hinrichsen in Sioux City, Iowa. They shared 54 happy years as man and wife. To this union seven children were born. The family moved to a farm south of Pawnee City where John and Mildred made their home for 33 years. Mildred enjoyed accompanying her husband on many camping trips, picnics and pleasant visits with her family and many dear friends. Fifteen grandchildren, and of recent date, eight great grandchildren were also a pleasant joy in her life. She continued living on the farm after John passed away Dec. 22, 1975. She attended the United Methodist Church in DuBois until her health began to fail a few years ago. She maintained her faith and courage thru her many long days of illness, with a loving and devoted family at her side. She leaves to mourn her sons, Melvin, Lester, Jack, Ivan and Douglas; daughters Luree Ullman and Betty Flanagin; four daughters-in-law and two sons-in-law; grandchildren and great grandchildren; brother Lloyd Reis of Hollywood, Florida, and sisters Dorothy Reis and Vera Hotz of Papillion. Also many more relatives and close friends who will all miss her greatly. Funeral services were held Saturday, Feb. 10, at the Wherry Brothers Mortuary in Pawnee City, Nebr., with Rev. T.J. Fraser officiating. Music was furnished by Mrs. Byford Metzger who sang "Rock Of Ages", and "Sweet Isle of Somewhere", accompanied by Mrs. Ross Thiemann at the organ. Pallbearers were grandsons Jack Hinrichsen, Marvin Hinrichsen, Douglas Hinrichsen, Roger Hinrichsen, Dale Hinrichsen and James Ullman. Interment was in the Pawnee City Cemetery beside her husband. (Pawnee Republican) Mil was such a loving & caring person and the best role model anybody could ask for. She loved music and played the piano and many other instruments all by ear, my could she make that piano roll! As did most girls of her time, Mil helped take care of her little brothers and sisters, learned to cook, can, clean and sew. She also loved to ride horses and John would recall, with a twinkle in his eye, how she would gallop by him on her horse "showing off" just to get his attention! He'd chuckle telling it, but she never denied it. Anyway he won her heart and they fell in love. The first 26 years of their life were spent in the Omaha/Papillion, Nebraska area where all their children were born. In March of 1947 the family moved to a farm in Pawnee County that they bought and lived on the rest of their lives. Their home was always over-flowing with friends and family. She was a wonderful cook and could whip up a delicious meal for a big group in nothing flat. Her bread was the best ever tasted and there was nothing she couldn't bake. There wasn't always a lot of money, but there was always room at the table for anyone hungry. They were always there when a helping hand was needed or with good advice, and that worked both ways with the helping hands. There were some heated discussions over which was best, Studebaker or Chevy, and so on, but this was all in fun. There were vacation trips, picnics, boating, fishing, hunting, and holiday dinners to be enjoyed by all. They didn't have the modern day conveniences and lived a simple life. They all worked hard at whatever they did. The yard was always mowed and flowers were here and there making it a very beautiful home. A large garden overflowing with many vegetables and an orchard for fresh, or could be canned and frozen for later use. The house was always neat and clean, filled with the smell of that good home cooking. The sound of laughter everywhere. John and Mil were extra special people. John was a wise and wonderful man, Mil so kind and generous. They taught by example along with discipline, and they respected everyone. I don't think they had an enemy in the world. I can see as plain as day- Grandma in her apron, with a hanky in the pocket, always ready to wipe a little nose or dry away a tear. Or sitting in her rocking chair cradling a little one in her arms until they fell peacefully asleep There was always that warm feeling there and you always felt welcome. That was always the perfect picture of happiness to me, and I wanted to be just like her. Her memory will always live on.
