Obituary notes for Henrietta Marie Elise WEINRICH
The Daily Herald (Chicago, Illinois) 25 April 1941
With the passing of Mrs. Henrietta Geffert, nee Weinrich, there are many prominent citizens of Arlington Heights who recall their first school days when she was the instructor of the lower grades of St. Peter Lutheran school. It was before the days of grades and the age of the children determined the class in which they would be assigned.
Henrietta Weinrich assisted the late Fred Militzer, as school teacher. She taught nine years, from 1882 until her marriage to Rev. Geffert in 1891.
Among her pupils were J. Fred Meyer, J.D. Flentie, Mrs. Henry Clausing, and others.
