Hy. Ahlhorn, Sr.
Tuesday, December 13, at 9:00 o'clock, a shadow of sorrow was cast over our community when news came that Henry Ahlhorn, Sr., had died at his home in Oldenburg, and his spirit had taken flight across the vast expanse to dwell in the house of many mansions, to be with those dear ones who had gone before.
Henry Ahlhorn was born October 6, 1847, in Oldenburg, Germany, where he was christened in infancy, and at the age of 20 years he immigrated to Fayette county where he settled on his uncle's farm, near Waldeck. Later he removed to the Walhalla section.
In 1870 he was united in marriage with Miss Louise Schroeder; this union was blessed with five children, two preceding their father to the Great Beyond.
In 1884 his wife was also called from his side, which left him to struggle onward, alone. Two years later he was united in marriage with Miss Johanna Bunjes [sic]. This union was blessed with five children, one preceding the father to the grave.
Mr. Ahlhorn will not be forgotten by his friends here, as he was a very kind, friendly and loving gentleman, a successful farmer for more than 30 years, a member of the Warrenton Lutheran church the greater part of his life.
He was bedridden three weeks; all medical effort, the tender and loving care given by his wife and children, failed to bring relief, until the death angel came on Tuesday at 9:00 p.m., December 13, 1938.
Mr. Ahlhorn attained the age of 91 years, 2 months and 7 days; the funeral was held from the residence of the deceased at 2:00 o'clock, Thursday afternoon, with interment in the Townsend cemetery, Rev. Bosshard officiating. A beautiful mound of flowers was left to indicate where "Father Ahlhorn now sleeps."
He is survived by his widow, and seven children: Chas. Ahlhorn of Giddings, Mrs. Otto (Mary) Imken of La Vernia, Mrs. Aug. (Caroline) Thormahlen of Kingsville, children from the first union, Henry Ahlhorn, Jr., Mrs. Herbert (Elenora) Manske, Mrs. Henry (Amanda) Wubbenhorst, all of Oldenburg, and Mrs. Alfred (Katy) Marburger of Warrenton. His son and daughters-in-law, 31 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and many other relatives and friends.
Pall bearers were his grandson, Edwin Thormahlen, Alvin Imken, Edison Manske, Eugene Ahlhorn, Leon Ahlhorn and Warren Wubbenhorst.
We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones. May peace be with him and eternal light guide Him! A READER.
