Harbuz, Anna
Schenk, Ferdinand

Two aged citizens of this section died Wednesday night. One was a Mrs. Harbes, stepmother of a young man employed on the road grading outfit, and the other was Ferdinand Schenk, one of he oldest and most respected of our German-American citizens. Mr. Schenk was a shoemaker by trade and lived opposite St. Michael’s church for many years. He was about 78 years old, and for many years had been a great sufferer. However, he was of naturally cheerful disposition, and bore his sufferings with but little complaint. Both funerals, we understand, will take place at St. Michael’s cemetery this afternoon. Our sincere sympathy is extended the bereaved families.
