A stroke suffered while she was here for a visit with her sons in November and old age complications were the cause of her death.

Mrs. Henle was born at St. Mary's Pennsylvania March 21, 1858 and lacked less than a month of celebrating her 80th birthday anniversary.
She was married at Sugar Creek, Jackson County Iowa almost 60 years ago and with her husband came to the Emmett Comunity south of Bereseford in 1885. In 1900 she and her husband moved to Sioux Falls where they resided until his death. Shortly after that she came to Beresford for a visit and was taken with the fatal illness.
