**********
On Thursday afternoon Emil Hanske passed away at his home,
after a lingering illness caused by a cancerous growth on 
the neck. He had been in a hospital at Indianapolis for the 
past three months, where he took medical treatment, after 
which his condition improved and he seemed to be gaining 
steadily, until last week. Mrs. Hanske spent a few days with 
him at the hospital, and brought him home Tuesday night.
Emil Hanske was born in Germany, March 25, 1858, coming to 
Sheboygan with his parents at the age of two years. He was
married to Helen Griebenow, Nov. 12, 1891. For a number of
years he was a very successful painter and decorator; a stage
curtain at Ortlieb’s hall is an example of his ability as a 
landscape artist. Several years ago he purchased the Fremont 
house, conducting this business until his illness.
Besides his wife, he leaves a daughter, Mrs. E. Arps of 
Chilton, and a son, Carl, who is taking a medical course at 
Yale University, for army service.
Those from out of town who attended the funeral services
Monday afternoon were: Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Griebenow of Owen,
Mrs. Chas. Heins, Mrs. August Janke, Mrs. Otto Englehard and
Mr. Fred. Englehard of Milwaukee, and Mr. and Mrs. H. L. 
Meyer of Hubert. The services were conducted by Rev. Rech, 
interment being made in the Kiel cemetery. The firemen and 
the maennerchor, headed by the Kiel Arion band, escorted the 
remains to their last resting place. The maennerchor rendered
several selections at the house and at the grave.

of an internal tumor, which upon examination could not be performed. The
