EMELIE W. WEINERT
SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. WEINERT IS GREAT SHOCK
Mrs. Amelea (sic) Windish Weinert, widow of the late John Weinert, died suddenly
at the family home, 719 Washington street, at 2 o’clock Sunday morning following
a stroke of apoplexy which she had suffered a half hour before. The death came
unexpectedly, and was a great shock to members of the family and to a large circle
of friends. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon from the home and burial
will be at Evergreen. The services will be in charge of the Rev. N. A. Winger.
Mrs. Weinert was about as usual Saturday and seemed to be in unusually good health
and spirits. Saturday evening, however, she was restless and when her son, Harvey,
returned home at midnight he found his mother reading. He asked whether she was
ill but the response was in the negative and he then asked her to go to bed, a
request which she complied with only to arise again shortly after 2 o’clock. Her
movements about the house awoke the daughter, Miss Emma, who asked whether there
was trouble but again a negative response reassured them. At 2:30, the daughter,
who had remained awake heard a cry from the dining room and when she rushed in she
found her mother sitting in a rocking chair, the victim of a stroke which resulted
in her death less than a half hour later. Members of the family at home were called
and the service of Dr. Luhman secured but Mrs. Weinert was beyond human aid and
passed away shortly before 3 o’clock.
The life story of Mrs. Weinert is one of a home woman who worked hard, faithfully
and unceasingly for her family. Born in Muensterburg, Sa___ ia, April 3, 1862, she
was married there to John Weinert and then after she had inherited a large fortune
decided with the husband and family of four children, Emma, Susan, Fred and Hans,
to come to America to make a new home. The family settled at Sheboygan in 1892 and
engaged in business but unfamiliarity with American methods resulted in the loss of
their fortune and the family moved to Kewaunee in 1895. Here they made a new start
and decided that larger opportunities could be found at Milwaukee. Enroute to
Milwaukee they visited here and Mrs. Weinert was persuaded by local friends to engage
in the baker business on South Tenth street in 1889. He made a success, later
establishing a wholesale business and noodle factory, much of the success due to
the co-operation of his wife who was highly educated and was a real partner in the
business. Mr. Weinert died three years ago.
Surviving Mrs. Weinert are four sons, Fred, Hans and Harvey of this city, Siegfried
of Janesville and two daughters, Emma and Susan, also of this city and one brother,
the Rev. George Windish of Deaconsfield, near Kimberly, South Africa.
