Mrs. Minnie Werremeyer
Buried At Holland
Mrs. Minnie Carlyn [sic] Werremeyer, nee Stork, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, August 8, 1857. When she was still a child her parents moved to Pike county, at Stendal, Ind., where she grew to womanhood. In 1873 she was converted and united with the Methodist church, during the pastorate of Rev. J. F. Severingghaus and through all her life remained a faithful Christian. In 1887 she married Ernest Werremeyer, and became stepmother to five children, one of whom preceded her in death. To this union three children were born, one of whom passed beyond before the mother. Her husband died May 25, 1921. Most of her married life was spent at Holland, but about 3 years ago she came to Huntingburg to reside with her daughter, Mrs. Harry Tormohlen, and at the same time found it necessary to undergo an operation, which was performed and 6 months later she submitted to the second operation. In May of this year she submitted to the third operation since which she suffered intensely, being bedfast the entire time excepting about six weeks. She was always patient and cheerful, and deeply appreciative of the loving care bestowed upon her by her children, especially Mrs. Harry Tormohlen.
Mrs. Werremeyer loved her church, and attended Sunday school and services as long as she was able. In June 1923 she transferred her membership to the Main street church in this city. Death relieved her from her sufferings Thursday Nov. 12, at 4:15 a.m., at the age of 68 years, 3 months and 3 days. Funeral services were held at the Tormohlen home Saturday afternoon followed by church services at the Main Street M. E., and then the remains were taken to Holland for burial in the M. E. cemetery, Rev. L. A. Schreiber, officiating.
Deceased is survived by two children, Mrs. Arthur Johnstone of LaPorte, Ind., and Mrs. Harry Tormohlen of Huntingburg; four step children, Mrs. Aug. Weitkamp, of Holland, Mrs. Anna Kunz, Huntingburg, Prof. D.W. Werremeyer of Cleveland, Ohio. Mrs. Albert Fenneman, Evansville; 5 grandchildren, 4 sisters and two brothers - Mrs. Jennie Perrigo of Scotts Bluff, Neb., Mrs. Louisa Luna of Glendo, Wyo., Mrs. Sarah Kemper, Stendal, Mrs. Ella Ward, E. St. Louis, Ill., and Dr. J. H. Stork and Dan Stork of this city.
The following from out-of-town attended the funeral: Mrs. Ella Ward, husband and daughter, E. St. Louis; Mrs. and Mrs. Frank Kemper, Stendal; Mrs. and Mrs. Carl Weber, Covington, Ky.; Mrs. Kate Luker, Stendal; Mrs. and Mrs. Henry Horstman and two daughters of Evansville, Mrs. Arthur Martin, Petersburg.
