Linda Newkirk (189289080)
The obituary for Linda (Pundt) Newkirk reads as follows:
1932. Linda Anna B. Pundt was born on June 10, 1903, on the old Pundt farm southwest of Homestead, a daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. Fred Pundt. She was early baptized in St. John's church, and her early education was received in St. John's parochial school. At the close of this period, the parents moved to Conroy, and here she was confirmed in the Lutheran faith by the Rev. Kabelitz, pastor of Trinity church.
On March 15th, 1923, she was united in marriage to Mr. Elmer Newkirk of Iowa Township, and the first home was made in Marengo, later in Williamsburg, and for the past three years on a farm in Iowa Township.
Mrs. Newkirk was very well known in Williamsburg, even in her girlhood years, as a frequent visitor here with her relatives. Coming here later as a bride, she became at once popular through the many excellent qualities of a refined and Christian womanhood.
Beautifully consoling, comforting, and heartening was the message woven from the words of the text, a text noted for the star of Hope, it envisions to all who believe and understand; whose lives conform to the lesson it carries.
The sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. Wolter was in German, and a powerful discourse it was, revealing all the evidence of that ripe scholarship, force of diction, and earnestness for which the pastor of old St. John's is so widely noted.
The great throng present at the funeral showed how widespread was the sorrow and the sympathy over the death of Mrs. Newkirk. Relatives and sympathizing friends and neighbors were present from all the adjacent neighborhoods, and the capacity of St. Paul's was crowded to the limit.
The funeral procession was by automobile to St. John's church, not far distant from the birthplace of the deceased. The Rev. Mr. Wolter officiated at the grave and the pallbearers were: Otto Koehn, John Kleinmeyer, Harry Stephan, George Maas, Anton Huedepohl, and R. B. Hobart. )
