Mrs. Kempcke Dead At 92
NATIVE OF GERMANY LIVED IN KENNARD MANY YEARS: MANY SURVIVORS
Mrs. Johanna Kempcke, 92, who remaining wish—to live long enough to see her 11 grandsons and grandsons-in-law home from military service—was almost fulfilled, died last Thursday. Of the 11, only two remain away from home in military service. They are Harold Dean Kempcke, son of Mrs. Paul Kempcke, and Clarence “Bud” Vance, son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Rosenbaum.
Mrs. Kempcke, for many years a resident of Kennard, died at Dodge County hospital in Fremont following an illness of several months.
Funeral services were held at the Kennard Methodist church Sunday afternoon, the Rev. A.W. Clarke of Arlington officiating. Burial followed in Kennard cemetery. Serving as pallbearers were six grandsons, William and Russell Kempcke, Howard and James Andreasen, Roy and Raymond Rosenbaum.
To American in 1883
As Johanna Dregert, Mrs. Kempcke was born Aug 7, 1853, at Mecklenberg, Germany. She was married there to Henry Kempcke, and they came to America in 1883 with their first three children, settling in Douglas county, Neb. Thirteen years later they came to Washington county. Mr. and Mrs. Kempcke moved to a farm near Kennard in 1912, but since the death of Mr. Kempcke in 1932 his widow had made her home with her children, most recently with Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Rosenbaum of Kennard.
Ten children were born to the Kempckes, two of whom died in infancy. Surviving the aged Kennard woman are four daughters, Mrs. Lee Webb of Salem, Ore., Mrs. Gus Kronberg, Mrs. Fred Andreasen and Mrs. Clyde Rosenbaum of Kennard; and two sons, Otto and Charles Kempcke, both of Lyons. The other sons preceded their mother in death, Gus five years and Paul last spring.
