Death Comes to Mrs. Anna Wilke
Early Resident of County Succumbs to Heart Disease
Mrs. Anna Margarite Wilke, 73, resident of Platte county 56 years, died at 7:30 a.m. today at Lutheran Good Samaritan hospital, her death being due to heart disease and complications arising from old age. In failing health the past several years, Mrs. Wilke was brought to the hospital Monday for a thorough examination, but her condition gradually became worse, and she passed away suddenly this morning.
A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Neemeyer of Westerstede, Germany, she was born there on Aug. 31, 1864. As a girl of 17, she came to the United States, traveling directly to Platte county. She was married to John H. Wilke in Christ Lutheran church, northeast of Columbus, Jan. 27, 1882. The young couple established their home 13 miles northeast of Columbus, where Mrs. Wilke resided until her death.
A devout member of Christ Lutheran church, she was also an active member of the Ladies Aid society.
Most of her time throughout her life was devoted to her home and large family.
Mr. Wilke passed away June 11, 1932. Mrs. Wilke is survived by three brothers, Henry Neemeyer of Belgrade, and George and William Neemeyer, north of Columbus, and four sisters, Mrs. Carl Mueller of Platte Center, Mrs. Carl Hellbusch of Columbus, Mrs. Fred Brunken of Hallem, and Mrs. August Fittje of Creston. She is also survived by four sons, Emil and Gottlieb of Columbus, John of Leigh and Rudolph of Richland, and four daughters, Mrs. Emil Groteluschen and Mrs. Emil Wurdeman of Leigh, Miss Mathilde of Richland, and Miss Irene of Lincoln. One son, Adolf, died in infancy. She has 36 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
The body will be taken to the home, 13 miles northeast of Columbus, Friday afternoon. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, at the home, and at 2:30 at Christ Lutheran church, with Rev. H.L. Borneman officiating. Burial will be made in the cemetery near the church.
