Gretchen Arens
Margaretha Arens in this photo appears to be Gretchen in the glass negative photos.********* Daughter of Henry Arens and Adamine Buettner. She never married, died young and is buried at New Holstein. ********* It is our sad duty to report the death of Miss Gretchen Arens at Chicago on April 1. The deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Arens of our burg and was born 21 years ago. Being the fourth child and first daughter, she was the pet of the family. Receiving an excellent home training, her character was as nearly perfect as anyone’s can be, and her departure, just in the prime of life is indeed a heavy loss to the family. Deceased leaves, besides parents, three brothers and two sisters to mourn for her death. Mr. Wm. Greverus delivered the funeral sermon. Chilton Times -- April 11, 1891 ********** (Note: It appears that Gretchen and Margaretha are the same person. She is Margaretha in the group photo and in the New Holstein cemetery, but Gretchen in the obituary and the glass negative photo.)
