Anna Martha (Dunow) Woempner (28 Jan 1887 - 25 Aug 1948)

Funeral services for Mrs. Charles G. Woempner, 61, were held from the Woempner home in the Town of Mayville, Saturday (28 Aug 1948) at 2 p. m. The Rev. F. H. Sprengler, pastor of St. Peter's Lutheran church here, officiated at the final rites, and burial was in Dorchester Memorial cemetery. A choir of neighbor friends of Mrs. Woempner sang "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."

Pallbearers were Mrs. Woemnper's sons, Arnold, Henry, and Ervin; son-in-law, Roy Hardrath, and grandsons, Carl and Galen Hardrath of Unity. Ethel and Luella Hardrath, Unity, granddaughters; Elizabeth Dunow, Stratford, niece, and Vera Jensen, Dorchester, acted as flower girls.

Mrs. Woempner died in St. Joseph's hospital, Marshfield, at 8 p. m. Wednesday, Aug. 25, following an operation for removal of gallstones at the hospital Monday. She had suffered intermittent illnesses for some time prior to the surgery.

Anna Martha Dunow was born in the Town of Mayville, Jan. 28, 1887. She was reared on the home farm, incorporated into Hoard township by reorganization since her birth, and on April 19, 1906, was married to Charles G. Woempner in a Curtiss church. She and her husband had lived on the Woempner farm southwest of the village since that time. Four children were born to the union: Leonora (Mrs. Roy Hardrath), Unity; Arnold Woempner, Couer d'Alene, Idaho; and Henry and Ervin Woempner, at home, all of whom survive.

Also surviving are her widower; seven grandchildren; five brothers, Fred Dunow, in California; Ed Dunow, Junction City; Gust Dunow, Owen; Adam Dunow, Stratford, and Arthur Dunow, in Illinois; and one sister, Mrs. Emma Dowd, in Iowa. A brother, Reinhart, and a sister, Eva, preceded her in death.
