Friends were saddened to learn of the death of Mrs. F.A. Schoenfeld, who passed away at her home in the town of Mayville (Clark Co., Wis.) Sunday afternoon, March 27th, 1932. Death was due to old age and minor ailments from which she had been suffering the past few years. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Evangelical Peace Church with Rev. Kalwitz officiating and interment was made in the Union Cemetery (Memorial North).

On Ja. 18, 1863 she was united in marriage to Fred Schoenfeld at Radeburg, Germany, where they lived until coming to the United States in 1881, when they settled in the town of Rib Lake. In 1892 they moved from there to their present home in the town of Mayville. Eight children were born to this union, five of whom preceded their mother in death.
