ANNA SCHROEDER ARENS HOLDENRIED
*********
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.

(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.)

January 23, 1892—We are pleased to state that Aug. Arens, who has
been on the sick list for some time, is convalescing.
********
August Arens died on Jan. 29, 1892. This is only 22 days after his marriage to
Anna Schroeder.
********
Aug. Arens, one of New Holsteins’ enterprising and beloved young men,
died on the 29th of January, at the age of 28 years. Only three weeks
before his death, he was united in marriage to Miss Annie Schroeder,
who did everything in her power to save her beloved from the jaws of
death. May she say with the poet:
“Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.”
Besides his wife, the deceased leaves his parents, two brothers, and
two sisters to mourn his death. The remains which were taken to the
village cemetery where followed by a large number of relatives and
friends.
