Emil Meiners and Atty. E. H. Naber left for Dodge, Iowa last Thursday evening, having received word that their uncle had died there. They accompanied the remains to this city where the funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Meiners' home and he was laid to rest in Graceland cemetery.
Last Thursday afternoon a telegram to Emil Meiners of this city announced the death of his uncle, Henry Meiners at Williamsbury, Iowa. The deceased had many friends in this city and his only relatives in the United States reside here.
On receipt of the sad news Messrs. Emil Meiners and E. H. Naber left with the next train for Williamsburg, where on Saturday they attended very impressive services at the church of which Mr. Meiners had been an elder for many years. The citizens of Williamsburg were unanimous in referring to the deceased as a truly good man, just, upright, pious, kind and courteous. His friends in Mayville knew him in a like manner.
The remains were brought to Mayville on Monday morning and the funeral was held here from the home of his nephew, Emil Meiners at two o'clock in the afternoon, Rev. K. Herbener officiating.
Henry Meiners was born at Munderloh, Oldenburg, Germany on Nov. 3rd, 1843. As a young man he came to the United States with his brother, Diedrich, coming to Mayville, from where, after a few years, he left for Missouri and Texas, but for more than thirty-five years has resided in Iowa County, Iowa. His declining years he spent at his home in Williamsburg. His relatives, who now mourn his death are his nephew Emil Meiners, and his nieces the Misses Ida and Louise Meiners and Mrs. E. H. Naber, all of this city.
One sister, Mrs. Marie Welchmann in Germany, who was living prior to the war probably survives him.
The mourning relatives have our sincere sympathy.
