RETIRED FARMER BURIED MONDAY

JUERGEN HENNINGSEN, AGE 79, DIED AT HOME OF BROTHER IN BLAIR

Victim of Cancer, Juergen Henningsen, aged 79, a retired farmer died at 8 p.m. Friday at the home of his brother, Detlef, in north Blair. He had been in bad health since the summer of 1934.

Son of Hans and Marguerita Henningsen, he was born at Berginhusen, Schleswig, Germany, February 15, 1856, and spent his boyhood days there.

In 1874, when 18 years of age, Mr. Henningsen took a boat for America, and settled a short time later in Clinton County, Iowa, which was to be his home for seven years.

In 1881 he moved to Sac County, Iowa, where he resided with his mother and a brother, Detlef, the two brothers operating a large farm together. Eleven years later, in 1892, the brother and mother moved to Emerson, Nebraska, where they farmed together until 1897, when Detlef was married.

Juergen Henningsen came to Blair in 1911, when his brother and family moved here, and had resided with them since. He was taken to an Omaha hospital 11 weeks ago, but his condition was pronounced incurable, and he was brought home.

Surviving are the brother, Detlef, and two sisters, Mrs. Sophia Klindt of Sac County, Iowa, and Mrs. Maria Feller of Sioux City. There are 15 nephews and nieces.

Funeral services were held at Trinity Lutheran Church Monday at 1:30 p.m., the Rev. H. C. Jul. Frese in charge. Bearers were Chris Paulsen, Henry Heybrock, Walter Gutschow, Otto Ruwe, Charles Reeh and Henry Hellwinkel. Interment was in the Blair Cemetery.
