HENRY E. JENS DIES, STROKE
Injuries inflicted By a Hit-Run Driver Prove Fatal
Henry E. Jens, 70, of 1208 Hamilton street, died of a stroke this morning. Death was indirectly attributed to an accident which occurred last spring when he was struck by an unidentified hit and run driver.
While on his way to church on the evening of March 28, Mr. Jens was struck by a hit and run driver at the corner of Tenth and Hamilton streets. His right leg received a double fracture and he was laid up ever since. Two and one-half weeks ago he suffered the first of a series of stokes.
Funeral services will be held on Monday afternoon at 1:30 from the home and at 2 o'clock from the First German Evangelical Lutheran church with the Rev. Gerhardt
Struck officiating. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Jens was born on June 14, 1865 in Germany. At the age of three, his parents brought him to this country and Milwaukee where they resided for a few years before coming to settle in this city. Mr. Jens was employed as a tinsmith by the F.J. Kerscher company for a number of years and was working until the time of his accident.
He married Bertha Dicker on November 10, 1888. His wife died in 1933.
Survivors are one daughter, Mrs. Warren Nightingale, Wisconsin Rapids; two sons, Elmer and Lester, city; two sisters, Mrs. Henry Kiel, city, and Mrs. William Schwartz, Milwaukee and five grandchildren.
