JOHANNE OETKEN IMKENLa Grange Journal, Thursday, April 19, 1934 Death Claims an Aged Mother on Thursday, 12thMrs. Johanne Imken, widow of the late Gerh. Imken who died in the year 1917, died at the family home of her son-in-law, L. Schwarz-Buehler in this city, at some time after midnight of last Wednesday, April 11. She had made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Schwarz-Buehler for the past twenty years; she was 87 years, 1 month and 18 days old at the time of her death. Wednesday, while not feeling as well as usual, she retired at her regular hour, and to all indications apparent, was not regarded as being ill; her daughter, Mrs. Schwarz-Buehler, visited at her bedside at 10:30 o’clock and found her comfortable. Early the next morning, however, when calling to her and receiving no response, in company with her husband she made the unwelcome discovery that her mother had drifted into peaceful sleep. Mrs. Imken, whose maiden name was Johanne Oetken, was born in Germany, February 24, 1847, and when only two years of age her parents emigrated to America, and settled in the Walhalla section of Fayette county. Here she grew to womanhood and was united in marriage with Gerhard Imken. There was born to this union, 10 children, of whom three preceded her in death. The living children, are: John Imken of Bishop, Geo. and Fred Imken of Longworth, Mrs. L. (Johanne) Schwarz-Buehler of La Grange, Mrs. Emma Helbe (widow of the late John C. Helble), Houston; Emil W. Imken of Pflugerville and Alvin Imken of Walhalla. There are 16 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. The body was taken to Fayetteville Saturday afternoon and buried by the side of her late husband, Rev. Carl Baer conducting the religious services. Pall bearers, who carried the body to the open grave, are her grandchildren: John and Herbert Helble, Houston; Hubert Schwarz-Buehler, Houston; Milva Imken, Bishop and Harold and Eddie Imken, Walhalla.Contributed by Rob BrownLa Grange Journal, April 19, 1934, Page Two Mrs. Johanna ImkenThe body of Mrs. Johanne Imken was brought to Fayetteville Saturday from La Grange, where she had died at the home of her daughter, at the age of 87 years, and laid to rest beside her husband in our City Cemetery, Saturday afternoon; Rev.

SneedREINHARD IMKENLa Grange Journal, 20 Mar 1919 ACCIDENTALLY KILLEDFourteen-Year-Old Lad Shot to Death On Farm Reinhard Imken, the fourteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Imken of near Warrenton, was accidentally shot and killed in the field near the home Monday afternoon. Young Imken was trying to separate his dogs, who were enraged in snarling and biting one another, and failing, jabbed one of the canines with the butt of the gun he was carrying. The jolt caused the weapon to discharge, the entire load of shot striking him in the abdomen. A brother, engaged in ploughing in the field, heard the shot and hastened to him, and the physician was hurriedly sumoned [sic.], but his services failed to save the lad's life. The injury was such that death came in a very short while. The lad had left home in a very cheerful mood, and was on his way to join his brother in the field, and carried the gun for the purpose of engaging in a hunt for small game. His death was a schock [sic.] to his parents and family relatives and friends. The remains were interred at the Drawe cemetery near Warrenton Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Boshard officiating, the attendance of sorrowing relatives and friends being very large. The death of this little fellow is the third son in the family to be called hence. |
