Phonograph (Colby, Wis.) 02/17/1927 Heintz, Lizzie
(1850 - 12 Feb 1927) Word was received
her Sunday morning of the sudden death of Mrs. Lizzie Heintz, a
pioneer resident of the town of Hull, Marathon Co., Wis., which
occurred Saturday evening at the home of her brother, Henry
Brudette, AT Brownsville, where she was spending the winter, having
left Colby Wis. last fall. While she has been suffering from
diabetes for years, her passing was unexpected, as it was not known
that she was seriously ill. Mrs. Heintz was
born in Bavaria, Germany seventy-six years ago, and when she was
sixteen, she came to this country and to Wisconsin, where she has
lived since. The first ten years spent in the southern part of the
state, coming to the town of Hull in 1877, which numbers her among
the oldest settlers of this section. Mr. Bruederle,
with whom she was visiting at the time of her death, is older. Up until several
years ago, the deceased made her home with her son, Max, but when
he sold his farm she went to live with some of her children. The
surviving children are Mrs. Harry Eggebrecht and O. H. Heintz of
the town of Hull; Max Heintz, who is employed at Milan this winter;
Mrs. Arthur Cutts, Unity; Harry Heintz, West Allis; Mrs. John
Garnett, Sheboygan, and Lewis Heintz, who is employed in a lumber
camp in the northern part of the state, but his whereabouts are
unknown at this time and it has been impossible to get word to
him. The body arrived
in Colby, Wis. Monday evening and the funeral services were held at
the M. E. Church, Wednesday afternoon at 1:30, Rev. Hanscom
conducting the funeral rites. Interment followed in the Colby
Cemetery. The pallbearers were George Rein, Ed Brehm, Henry Rein,
and O. R. Briggs. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
