Jackson Sentinel, Maquoketa, Iowa, February 21, 1919 Otto S. Heneke, next to youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Heneke, was born near Maquoketa, Iowa, October 30, 1894. He grew to an industrious young manhood in this vicinity. He was called into the service of his country April 26 and went to Camp Dodge, Iowa. He was there in training until August when his company was ordered overseas. He landed at Liverpool, England, September 5, 1918, and on September 14th, left for France, where he was in training and preparation back of the lines for active service on the firing line. The armistice was signed a few days before they were to take their place on the firing line, a joy to him that the war was over, but a disappointment that he did not get to go over the top with some of the other boys. Early in January his company received orders to return to the United States and he reached New York on a perilous voyage January 24, then to Camp Merritt, New Jersey and the same day left for Camp Dodge, Iowa. Here he was mustered out and so happy to reach his home and loved ones February 6th. The hardship of the trip together with the exhaustion of his physical powers caused by inability to procure nutritious food of the winter season so weakened him that he was unable to stand the pneumonia attack which developed when he reached home. Although everything was done that loving hands and medical skill could do, he passed peacefully away on Saturday, February 15, 1919, at 11:45 a.m. at the home of his parents, aged 24 years, 3 months, and 15 days. Otto was an obedient and industrious young man, a loyal friend, a good soldier and never a word of complaint in his letters home of work of duty he was called upon to perform. His work on earth is done and he has entered into rest. The sorrowing family has the sympathy of their many friends in their great loss and sorrow. Besides his parents, five brothers survive, Henry, Paul, Nicholas, Edward and Max, and one sister, Sabina, at home. Funeral services were held from the home, two miles south of Maquoketa on Monday at 1:00 p.m. and sermon by Rev. D. F. Boomershine, pastor of the family at the M. E. church at 2 p.m., where a large circle of friends and relatives gather to pay their last earthly tribute to the young soldier. Burial was at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Maquoketa. Mt. Hope Cemetery
