BARBARA VOELKER

John Walsdorf – Peter Rach St. Anna — Mr. John Walsdorf, another young man of 28 years, died after a long protracted illness, of consumption, March 27th and was laid to rest in St. Anna's cemetery, March 30th. While the two above mentioned were yet lying in the open coffin, watched by the sad looks of their mourning relatives and friends, another ill-fated messenger announced the death of Mrs. Jos. Voelker, nee Barbara Enders, who died shortly after giving birth to a child, at the age of 38 years, March 28th. Her funeral took place at St. Anna, March 31st, amid a large concourse of relatives and friends. Everyone in the parish deeply sympathizes with the bereaved husband and his six little children, who have suffered such a heavy loss in the death of their wife and mother. Chilton Times, April 6, 1892
