  [S201] Miscellaneous Newspapers. The earthly remains of Irene E. Wenz, daughter of James and Lillie Wenz, of Shoemakersville, were brought here on Tuesday afternoon for interment on the Wenz lot in Fairview cemetery. They were to have been brought here on Sunday, after funeral services in Undertaker Seidel?s funeral chapel in Reading, but the drifted roads prevented that. The young lady graduated as a trained nurse at the Homeopathic Hospital, Reading on January 30. Shortly after that she became a patient at the same institution and underwent an operation for appendicitis. She failed to rally and sank gradually until her death at 11:24 a.m. Wednesday of last week. Miss Wenz was a popular member of the Lutheran Church of Shoemakersville. She resided there for many years, having accompanied her parents there from Centerport her birth place. Following her graduation from the Perry Township High School with honors in 1917, Miss Wenz went to Reading and entered the Homeopathic Hospital. Surviving are her parents, three sisters, Mrs. Charles Henne, Lebanon; Millie and Mabel, at home, and a brother, Mark, also at home. The family is well known in this town and community, as both the parents were born and reared in this town.
