Mrs. E.B. Wertenbaker Dead
Widow of Union Veteran and Native of Germany
Elizabeth B. Wertenbaker, widow of Woodward E. Wertenbaker, died this morning at 5 o'clock at her home, 663 F street northeast, death following an extended illness. Mrs. Wertenbaker was sixty-eight years old. Four sons, William Woodward Wertenbaker of Washington, Clark Ingersoll Wertenbaker, an army surgeon now stationed at Fort Gibbons, Alaska; LeRoy Francis Wertenbaker of New York and Paymaster Leon Norris Wertenbaker, U.S.N., survive her.
Mrs. Wertenbaker was born in Germany and came to this country with her parents at an early age. She came to Washington shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War and while here met Mr. Wertenbaker, then a sergeant in a Michigan volunteer regiment, which was stationed here, preparing to be sent to the front. When orders to go to the front arrived a wedding was decided on, and as the nearest official authorized to perform the ceremony happened to be a member of one of the high judicial benches in the District he was asked to perform the ceremony and did so.
Mrs. Wertenbaker remained in Washington during the war and soon after peace was declared Mr. Wertenbaker obtained employment with the federal government, later being transferred to the pension office. He died several years ago. Arrangements for the funeral of Mrs. Wertenbaker are delayed pending the arrival of members of the family from out of town.
