Mrs. John Pencker Is Laid To Rest
Emma Hansen, was born August 26th, 1882, and died January 27, 1937, at the age of 54 years, 5 months, and 1 day, after an illness which began last May.

She was born on a farm in Hayes Township and was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August and Trinke (Ehrichs) Hansen, who came from Germany.

On February 3rd, 1908, she was married to Mr. John Pencker. Two daughters were born to this union: Mary (Mrs. Ben) Steen of Manning, Iowa and Emma (Mrs. Andrew) Christensen of Audubon. She has one grandchild, Maxine Christensen; one brother, John F. Hansen of Manilla, Iowa, and three sisters, Maggie Hansen, Mary (Mrs. Henry) Mundt of Manning and Anna (Mrs. Henry) Stuhr of Botna, Iowa, and a large group of friends who mourn her death.

Mrs. Pencker was a woman who believed in keeping busy. She always found plenty of work to do and consequently she did not get to go out a great deal. She liked her home and was always glad to receive friends who came to visit her.

Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Oliver Jensen, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at the Ohde Funeral Home Saturday, January 30th at 2:00 p.m. Casket bearers were: Jacob Carstens, Henry Vogt, John Albert, Hannes Schmidt, Harry Ohm, Chris Hollander.
Burial was in the Manning Cemetery.
