HAS GONE ON HER LAST JOURNEY
Mrs. Charlotte Josenhans, one of the pioneers of Washtenaw county, died at her home in York Monday morning at 3 o'clock, of general debility.
Mrs. Josenhans was a daughter of Wm. Weigle, a prominent manufacturer at Ludwigsburg, Wurtemberg, Germany. She was born in 1821 and came to this country in 1855. In 1840 she married Jonathan Josenhans and of this union sixteen children were born, of whom four have died. The living children are: Johanna, wife of Rev. G. Hildner, of Detroit; Cornelia, widow of Jacob Reimold, and Leonard, of York; Gotthold, of Blissfield; Samuel, of Saline; Agatha, of York; Frederick, of Kansas; Timothy, of Seattle; Theodore, of York; Gerhard, of Ann Arbor; Augusta and Friedericka, of York. In addition 20 grand children and eight great grand children survive her.
Mr. and Mrs. Josenhans had lived together on different farms in the county until the death of the husband last May. She was a bright, cheerful woman, loved by all who knew her. She was a model wife and mother and will be sadly missed in the family circle.
The funeral was held from the family home in York on Wednesday.
