Henry F. Lehne Laid To Rest
No date on obit, but ca 1900.
German Lutheran Church Crowded Far Beyond Capacity, for Pioneer Alton Merchant
One of the most strikingly impressive funerals ever held in Alton was that Sunday afternoon of the late Henry F. Lehne, the veteran businessman who entered into rest Thursday morning last, after an illness of pneumonia.
Life's kindness and courtesies gave wonderful attest in the outpouring at the obituary services, neither the home nor the church in which the services were held being at all adequate for the many people who thus offered by their presence their last respects to the departed. The floral offerings were so numerous that special conveyances were necessary and even then all could not possibly be put on his grave. Altogether the fruits of an humble, honest, and conscientiously pure life were marvelously evident. Services were held first in the home at 1:30 P.M. when the German Lutheran choir sang "Jesus Lover of My Soul" Rev. Philip Hehner, of Nokomis, an old friend of the deceased read the 90th Psalm from Scipture, after which prayer was offered by Rev. W.F. Isler. The choir consisted of Misses Lizzie and Annie Althoff, Nellie and Mae Paul, Minnie Jungleblut, and Messers. Harry Paul, Carl Skaer, Prof. Richardson, Louis Schaefer, and Edward Misenheimer. Miss Lillian Bierbaum was organist at the church. At the church, at 2 o'clock, the choir sang as the corpse was carreied into the edifice, after which Rev. Hehner led in prayer. Rev. Ewers, of the First Methodist Church, gave a scriptural reading and after another selection by the choir, Rev. Isler read from II Timothy, chapter 4, verses 7th and 8th. The choir then sang "Meet Me There" after which Rev. J. Scarritt eulogized the life of Mr. Lehne, followed with a few additional remarks by Rev. Isler.
The corpse was taken to the grave in Grandview Cemetery where brief services were held by the ministers, and then the loved form was consigned to the tomb, and the latter backed with the innumeral floral gifts that had been carried by the clerks of the Lehne Store, almost 20 in number. It was impossible for even this number of clerks to carry them all, however the remainder were taken in a special carriage. Bearers of that pall were Messers. Philip Misenheimer, R.J. Bierbaum, C.C. Paul, Fred Offer, Louis Unger and Anton Jacoby.

A native of Upper Alton, he was born Feb. 37, 1884. Over a long period "Adam Lohr was known widely throughout the Alton vicinity because of his association with the horse and general livestock business, Around the National Stockyards, and at livestock sales In towns many miles from Alton, he was about as well-known as he would have been In his home town. For a good many years Lohr maintained a large number of teams during the days grading and other work was powered with horses.

This work was mainly done before the hospital was built, the owner of the site preparing It for the Institution. For many years Lohr had done work on the Smith estate, where horsepower was necessary. This contract also provided for extensive work on the grounds after the hospital buildings were completed. Even after he had retired from the teaming. business, "Ad" Lohr never was without horses, and those needing horse power could always count on him to supply their needs. It was in this connection that his fatal attack of Illness was brought on last Thursday. He had gone to the Sims farm on Humbert Road to catch and harness a team of horses for a customer. On the farm Lohr had about 15 horses In a pasture Rounding up the animals necessitated a good deal of exercise which, relatives believe, brought on the attack of apoplexy that disabled him an hour later and resulted in his death Saturday evening.

He was due to resume this work there this morning, members of the family said. His parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lohr, were dairy farmers In the Upper Alton outskirts for many years.

"Ad" Lohr had tamed many a bronco and 'had conquered hundreds of "bad actors" in his day. Horses known to their owners as "outlaws" and "counterfeits" were turned over by the owners to Lohr for "breaking" to work. Handling hones that had been given up by others as "hopeless" was enjoyable pastime to "Ad" Lohr. Alton Evening Telegraph | Alton, Illinois | Monday, July 16, 1945 | Page 2 Jrice

"A sad accident befell a miner at the coal shaft on Thursday. A car of coal had been raised to the mouth of the pit and while running it off the cage a lump of coal fell from it down the shaft. Four miners had just stepped on the cage at the bottom to come up, and on hearing the alarm from above three of them stepped out of danger. The fourth one, Mr. Taylor, was too late to reach a place of safety, and the mass of coal struck him on the head, breaking his skull. He lingered unconscious until the following afternoon, when he died. Mr. Taylor was from Alton and was esteemed by the coal company one of their best men. He leaves a wife and several children."
