MRS. ABRAHAM C. HEINRICHS

Anna Doell Heinrichs, our mother, was born on Nov. 25, 1876, in Hamilton county, Neb. Here she spent her childhood, grew to womanhood and spent her entire life on a farm northwest of Henderson, Neb.

She accepted Christ as her Lord and Saviour, was baptized on June 4, 1897, by Elder Peter J. Friesen, and was received into the Bethesda Mennonite church, of which she remained a faithful member to the end.

She was united in marriage to Abraham C. Heinrichs on Oct. 2, 1900. To this union were born seven children: Gustav of Henderson; John, who died at the early age of one year; Reinhold of Henderson; Arthur of Salem, Oregon; Wilbert, who died in infancy; Cornelius who passed away at the age of 19; Helen, Mrs. Abraham G. Friesen of Hampton, Neb

Our father preceded mother in death on Aug. 2, 1942. Mother lived a quiet life on the farm until her life came suddenly to its close due to heart attack on Thursday afternoon, Feb. 3, 1955. She attained the age of 78 years, two months and eight days.

She leaves to mourn her departure: four children, two daughters-in-law, Katherine, Mrs. Gustav Heinrichs and Marie, Mrs. Arthur Heinrichs; one son-in-law, Abraham G. Friesen; nine grandchildren, three great-grandchildren (one preceded her in death); one sister, Mrs. H. A. Peters; three brothers, George W. Doell and Peter J.
