Death of Mrs. Gieske
Another good woman taken from our community in the death of Mrs. Henry C. Gieske, on November 25th, who has been one of our midst for over thirty years. She was a most devoted wife and one who was greatly beloved by all who knew her, doing many kind, charitable acts, known only to those who were the recipients of her goodness and charity. She was a member of the German Lutheran church and a great worker in different German societies.
Mrs. Annie C. Gieske was a native of Spaden, Germany, aged 67 years, 1 month, and 1 day. She was a sister of Al Vollers of San Francisco, and of Luhr and John Vollers of Germany; a niece of Hank Vollers of San Rafael, and of Anna Vollers and Mrs. Bertha Lundquist.
The funeral will be held on Friday at 2 o’clock p.m. from the family residence, 310 B street. Interment in Mt. Tamalpais cemetery, San Rafael.
The funeral will take place from the Congregational Church.
