Henry Koenigsberg

Henry Koenigsberg, one of Holland’s oldest residents, died at the Soldiers’ Home in Grand Rapids Tuesday evening at about 7 o’clock, age 78 years. Death was due to the weakness of old age.

Deceased is survived by two sons, Charlie of this city and Henry of Seattle. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock from Nibbelink’s undertaking parlors under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of this city. Rev. Grannis of Grace Episcopal Church will be the officiating clergyman. The Masons will meet the Interurban car at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon on which the body will be brought, and conduct it to the Nibbelink’s parlors.

(Cpl. Koenigsberg was a veteran of the Civil War, serving in the 3rd Michigan Infantry, Co. C. He is buried in Pilgrim Home Cemetery.)
