WILHELMINE BEHNKE

MRS. WILHELMINA BEHNKE DIES WHILE ON VISIT TO
RELATIVES IN COUNTRY-NEWS IS SHOCK
Mother of Arthur Behnke, Victim of Heart Trouble, Following
Pneumonia from Which She Was Ill for Three Weeks
Death came to Mrs. Wilhemina Behnke, a well known resident of the
city, while she visited with friends in the country near Cleveland,
messages received in the city late yesterday announcing her demise
coming as a great shock to her son, Arthur Behnke, with whom she
made her home, and to friends.
Mrs. Behnke was 58 years of age and death was due to heart trouble
superinduced by pneumonia from which she had been ill for ten days.
Mrs. Behnke had not been in robust health for several months but her
condition had shown improvement and three weeks ago she departed to
visit at Cleveland. A cold which she contracted developed into
pneumonia and resulted in her death.
Mrs. Behnke, nee Koch, was a native of Germany and had resided here
many years. She was the widow of the late William Behnke who died
three years ago. Two sons, Arthur of this city and Charles of Oshkosh
survive. Funeral services will be held from the late home Saturday
afternoon. The body was brought from Cleveland last evening.
