Lueddecke, Helen (1 OCT 1914 - 8 May 1929)

Helen, the 14-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lueddecke, who passed away last Wednesday at the Chippewa Falls Hospital, was laid to rest Saturday afternoon from the Evangelical Peace Church, Rev. Bizer officiating, Helen Mueller, Evelyn Schmidt, Anna Tischendorf, Erma Hoene, Eleanor Gumz, Martha Blaisdell, Helen Umlauft and Mabel Lueddecke acting as flower girls and Irvine Umlauft, Harold and Clarence Kalepp, Frank Tischendorf, Eugene Pope and Lawrence Sauter acting as pallbearers.

Helen was born at their home near town (Dorchester, Clark County, Wis.), Oct. 1, 1914, and was 14 years, 7 months and 7 days of age when she passed away. She went to school here and in the country school and made many friends in both schools, who felt keenly her death. Helen was a bright happy girl, a joy to her parents and grandparents and a friends to all who knew her. She has just slipped away across the river, where she will always be blithe and gay and where earth’s sorrows are sins cannot reach her.

She leaves to mourn her loss, her grief stricken parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lueddecke, two sisters, Alice and Gertrude and one brother, Donald, besides her grandparents and a host of relatives. A host of friends join us in offering sincere sympathy to these dear mourning ones.

The out of town relatives here for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lueddecke of Medford, Mrs. Otto Plockelman and Mr. Otto Schrader of Park Falls, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shanklin and family of Scandinavia, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Blaisdell and family of Stetsonville, and Mr. and Mrs. Reinhold Schaefer of Milan.
