Shawano Co, Wisconsin OBITUARY: SUBJECT: KANOPATZKI, Hedwig SUBMITTER: Jeanette Rekow has translated the following from German to English. EMAIL: DATE: Thurs 28 Oct 1915 SOURCE: V.W. , Big Falls News, Page 57 KANOPATZKI, Hedwig, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Heinrich Kanopatzki was called from this life after suffering with a tumor (or ulcer) which opened while playing and resulted in blood poisoning. She was taken to a hospital in Appleton for surgery but was beyond help. The child died the same evening at 10 o'clock on 19 October. She was born on 22 September 1906 in Big Falls, Wis., and reached the age of 8 years 9 months and 19 days. Her early death is a blow to her parents, two brothers and three sisters. The parents have the trust that their child was given the priceless gift of holy baptism and will be with the Lord. She was conscious until her last moment trusting in the peace her mother offered while stooping down consoling her child. She said, "I am glad to be going to heaven." The funeral was held on Friday afternoon with Pastor Frank from St Lucas Ev. Luth Church officiating. ----------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB ARCHIVES NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities as long as this message remains on all copied material.
