Mrs. Henry Juenk died at her home in this village a few minutes before noon Thursday from tuberculosis at the age of 55 years and two months.
Emma Lau was born January 5, 1864 and after reaching young womanhood was united in marriage to Henry Juenk on April 22, 1890. Two children, twins, a boy and a girl, came to bless the happy union of which the daughter survives, the son having died with only three months of age. Mr. and Mrs. Juenk lived on Main Street for 24 years where the former was engaged in the farm implement business. Six years ago they disposed of the business to Henry Kaiser and they lived on the old Sell homestead until their new home was completed on south Monroe Street, where they have resided for the past five years.
She was never of robust health, but she lived her life never complaining. For the past year she was very ill, but bravely bore her sufferings until a few days before her death when her weakened condition forced her to lie in bed until the end came Thursday. Thus ended the earthly life of one who lived quietly, unostentatiously simply, but no less nobly and unselfishly. Nevertheless those who knew her will cherish her memory and radiate her influence in the years to come.
She leaves to mourn her death, her husband, whose death is expected momentarily, one daughter, Ida, her mother, Mrs. Dorothea Lau, two brothers, John and Peter Lau, of this village; three sisters, Mrs. John Sachs, town of Eaton; Mrs. Henry Womenberg and Mrs. Celia Thede of this village besides a host of friends.
Interment in the New Holstein Cemetery.
