Hankey, Mrs. G. (9 MAY 1889 - 18 NOV 1911)
Died, in this village (Loyal, Clark County, Wis.), Mrs. G. Hankey at the age of twenty-two years, of consumption and dropsy.
The deceased was born in the town of Loyal on May 9, 1889, but has not bee here a great deal, having lived the most of her life at Fond du Lac, Jefferson, Milwaukee and Waukesha. About seven months ago she came to visit her sister, Mrs. Edward Christenson, and after being here about two months it was found she was suffering with that dreaded disease consumption.
In this dearest of all places to her, she lies down at length to sleep and rest. Beautifully appropriate such a resting place, where her kindred sleep and were a few of her life long friends remain to gather about the dear form with honest ears of bereavement to lay her away in the narrow house with its curtains of fadeless green.
She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, father, two sisters, Mrs. George Weisman of Jefferson and Mrs. Edward Christenson of this village, four brothers, John of the town of York, Albert of Loyal and Frank and Otto of Waukesha.
The funeral services were held at the Catholic Church on Tuesday morning at nine o'clock and the remains buried in the Catholic Cemetery.

I do not know if this pertains. John was my g-g-grandfather. In the 1930s my family was in touch with a Hankey cousin from the Buffalo area named Lambrecht. That makes me think that the census entry might be for my g-g-g-grandparents. The Hankey children all arrived at too young an age to be travelling alone.
