M. M. (Niemuth) Hanneman's obituary --
- Death Leaves Four Children Motherless
- Relatives, friends and acquaintances
were shocked to hear of the untimely death of Mrs. Louis
- Hanneman which occurred at 5:15
last Friday morning at St. Luke's hospital in Duluth.
- Death followed an operation for
gall stones and appendicitis.
- Deceased has suffered from gall
stone attacks for the last four years. Seven weeks before her
operation
- she went to St Luke's hospital where
she was treated for pneumonia. She was at the hospital three
weeks when she returned to her home where she remained until
last Tuesday evening when she was taken to the hospital. She
was operated upon Wednesday morning. She came out of the ether
shortly after the operation, but her weakened condition could
not withstand the operation. She was conscious until a few moments
before she passed away and talked with her husband shortly before
she passed into that sleep from which there is no awakening.
- Minnie Niemuth was the daughter
of Charles Niemuth and Anna Elandt. She was born in the town
of
- Wolf River on November 23, 1890
and was united in marriage with Louis Hanneman in the East Bloomfield
church on April 16, 1913.
- The young couple lived at Clarks
Mill until 1919 when they moved to Manistique, Mich., where they
lived
- until May 1926 when they moved to
Saginaw, Minn.
- Deceased is survived by her sorrowing
husband, four children, Vera 12, Verna 9, Gerhardt 7, and Gerold
- 4 years of age, her mother Mrs.
Charles Niemuth of Baldwin Mills, seven brothers, Henry, Leo
and Walter of Waupaca, Frank who lives on the old homestead in
the town of Wolf River, Otto of Helvetia, Emil near Seymour,
Harry at home with mother; three sisters, Mrs Albert Koepp of
the town of Wolf River, Mrs. Ralph Gertsch of Waupaca and Miss
Ruth at home.
- On account of some of the relatives
being unable to accompany the remains, services were conducted
by
- Rev George Appel at Johnsons' undertaking
chapel in Duluth.
- The remains arrived in Weyauwega
on Saturday morning over the Soo Line and were taken to the home
- of her husband's sister, Mrs George
Hinz where they remained until on Saturday afternoon when they
were taken to St. Peters Lutheran church where Rev. M. Hensel
delivered an impressive funeral sermon to an audience that taxed
the capacity of the edifice.
- Her six brothers Henry, Otto, Frank,
Emil, Leo and Walter acted as pallbearers and the Mrs Edna
- Koepp, Rose Krause, Lela Niemuth
and Lucille Hafemeister were the flower girls.
- The church was filled to overflowing
with relatives, friends and acquaintances, who came to pay their
last
- respects to the departed. The floral
offerings were many and beautiful and attested the esteem in
which she was held by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
- The children's choir of the church
rendered her favorite hymn, "Abide with me".
- Internment was made in the Baldwin
Mill's cemetery.
- The following from away were here
to attend the funeral; Mr and Mrs. Ed Eland, Marion, Mr and Mrs.

our friends and neighbors for their assistance during our recent
- bereavement; also those who contributed
the beautiful floral offerings, Rev Hensel for his words of comfort,
the teacher and the childrens' choir for their song and those
who furnished the autos.
