MRS. C. WOLLENBERG CALLED

To Her Rest Sunday MorningFuneral will be Held Today.

With but a few days' warning death has claimed one of Greenwood's most respected inhabitants in the person of Mrs. Chris. WOLLENBERG, the dread messenger calling for his own at ten o'clock Sunday morning, May 22. Until only a few days before no one thought of such a possibility and to those not intimately associated with the family the sudden calling away is not only a cause of sorrow but also surprise. She had been confined to the bed less than a week, though for a week before had been ailing, but was able to be up most of the time. Affection of the liver, probably of long standing, is pronounced as the cause of death. The end came quietly and without suffering. Consciousness seemed to have left the day before.

Albertina WENDT was born in Lutzlow, Brandenburg Province, Germany, June 4, 1843, and was one of seven children. In 1862 she cam with her parents to New York state, where she was married October, 25, 1866, to Chris. Wollenberg at Lockport. After living there twelve years the family moved to Valley Creek, Minn., and from thence in 1880 to Knapp, Dunn county, Wis., and in 1882 to Greenwood where the family has since resided, with the exception of three years from 1899 to May 1892 spent in Spencer.

Deceased was the mother of nine children, three dying in infancy. The living are Charles F., of Grand Rapids, Minn., E. F., Henry J., of Medford, Emma, Ferdinand, of Ritzville, Wash., and Ella. Her devotion to her family and children is the strong point in her character. The welfare of her children seemed to be her one ambition and to this end she always labored and hoped and has been rewarded in her later years by realizing her ambitions. A doubly sad feature of the present occasion is the fact that the children had been planning on being at home by the first of June to witness the graduation of the youngest sister, Ella, and enjoy a family reunion. None of them little dreamed that before June first they would be called together for a far different purpose.

The quiet, even tempered wife and patient mother will be missed not only from the family circle but by her many friends who have learned to know her intimately during the past twenty odd years the family has been in Greenwood. All of these share with the bereaved family in their loss at this time.

The funeral will be held this afternoon from the M. E. church, Rev. P.  F. STAIR of Medford officiating, and the remains will be laid to rest in the local cemetery, where one of the children is already at rest.
