Albrecht, Henry (3 MAY 1840 – 11 Jan 1916)

At 5 o’clock Tuesday morning at the dawn of a new day, Henry Albrecht, surrounded by those near and dear, breathed his last and passed over that silent river into the great beyond. Deceased was born in Germany on the 3rd day of May, 1840, where he grew to manhood, and at an early age was united in marriage to Miss Sophia Gundlack. To them were born 6 children, 5 sons and 1 daughter. Forty-one years ago, he, together with his family, emigrated to America and settled one year in Calumet County, Wis. The following year he moved to the township of Fremont, at that time a vast wilderness, and through many hardships and self-denials supported his family and provided a pleasant home. His wife preceded him in death ten years ago and those left to mourn his loss are Henry, Jr., and Wm. of Lynn, Charles of Fremont and Mrs. Frank Juneau of Black Duck, Minn., 15 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren, two sons having passed away some years ago, one in infancy and the other at the age of 22 years.

The funeral services will be held in the Lutheran Church of Fremont at 1 o’clock Friday afternoon, Rev. Viergutz of Nasonville officiating and interment made in the Fremont Cemetery by the side of those who have gone before.
