Schenk, Alice "Elsie" #2 (1860 - 2 MAR 1941)

Mrs. Elise Schenk, mother of Mrs. Paul Zerbel and Chairman Max Schenk, passed away at the Krohn Hospital, Black River Falls, at an early hour last Sunday morning.  Mrs. Schenk entered the hospital Jan. 14^th, suffering from a hip and wrist fracture received in a fall in the home of her daughter that day.  For a while she suffered considerable pain, but the fractures were healing nicely and the splints had been removed from her wrist.  Her recovery from the injuries was making such satisfactory progress that the family and friends were hoping for her return home soon.  But complication developed which resulted in her dath at the time noted.

The remains were brought to Kretschmer’s Funeral Parlors Sunday forenoon, and burial services were held at St. John’s Church Wednesday afternoon.  Interment was in the family lot in Mentor Cemetery.
