Death came to Mrs. Marie Wellendorf, nee Brockmann, early Wednesday morning, April 30, at the Denison Hospital, after a prolonged illness.

Last Monday it was found necessary for her to return to the hospital for special care.

She was the daughter of Clause Brockmann and Katherina Lahrssen, was born October 11, 1882, in Ida county, Iowa. She spent most of her youth and adult life in Ida county. On March 6, 1907, she was united in marriage to Emil Wellendorf. Five children were born to this union. After the death of Mr. Wellendorf in 1941, she made her home with her mother, here in Schleswig. During the past year she lived in her own home in Deloit.

She was a devoted Mother and grandmother; and her children were very thoughtful of her during the last years.
