Heinrich Marohn died Sunday morning at 7:00 at his home in Winneconne of neuralgia. He was fifty-five years of age, was born in Germany and came to this country in 1882. He is survived by two daughters, Miss Alma Marohn of Winneconne and Mrs. Robert Umlandt of South Rapids, Minnesota and four sons, Emil, Henry, Karl (which is different than what my grandfather went by,
as he spelled it Carl, which I think was the English way vs German), and Frederick Marohn, all of Winneconne. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 1:45 o'clock at the residence and at 2:00 at the German Lutheran church, Rev. O. D. Hoyer officiating. Interment will be at the village cemetery.
