Frederick Lehnherr was the fourth child of Jacob and Susan Lehnherr and was born at Wemmes, Canton Berne, Switzerland, October 21, 1867. He came to this country with his parents at the age of 17, going first to Monroe, Wisconsin; later moving to Chester, Minnesota, and finally settling near Berne. With the exception of seven years spent in northern Minnesota, he lived the rest of his life in this community.

In 1893 he was married to Mary Egger who died within the year.

On September 1, 1898, he married Margaret Denny, who passed on twenty-two years ago.

Mr. Lehnherr became ill October 7 and was taken to St. John's hospital at Red Wing. Here everything possible was done to restore his health but to no avail. He passed quietly to his reward Friday evening, October 22 at the age of 76 years and one day.

He was baptised in infancy and later confirmed in the Swingli Reformed church of Switzerland. He has remained a faithful follower of this church all his life.

For many years he has been a faithful worker in the Odd Fellows lodge and a member of the Happy Home Rebekah Lodge.

Funeral services were conducted October 24 from Mahler's Funeral chapel at 12:45 and the Berne church at 1:30. Interment was in the Berne cemetary.

Funeral services were attended by an honorary guard of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs who officiated at the grave. Pallbearers were all brother Odd Fellows: Fred Closner, Walter Schutz, Earl West, Earl Hurd, Peter Stucky, and Leon Cornwell.

In Memoriam

They call it death when the Angel comes
To open the Door of Life.
The door that opens and shuts us in
From the world's toil and strife.
Thank God for the door, by whatever name,
That waits at the end of the road.
For it opens wide to let us in
To the Paradise of God.
