He then built the present creamery which he sold to the present owners of the Richmond Co-Opeerative Creamery Association after which he entered into partnership with Joseph Schwankl in the telephone business but was forced to reture several years later on account of ill health.
He was united in marriage in Richmond to Katherine Lutgen of St. Nicholas in 1905 and eight children were born to this union seven of whom surive as do also two brothers and one sister.
Owing to the fact that the greater part of the Reporter was printed and the balance nearly ready for the press we are compelled to hold his complete obituary over until next week. However we wish to give this information, that funeral wervices will be held at St. Peter and Paul church on Saturday Dec. 22, at 10 o'clock and no doubt it will be a largely attended funeral from the fact that Mr. Hennes was widely and favorably known and always active in village and fraternal affairs. At this time we extend heart felt sympathy to the bereaved and promise a complete obiturary in our next issue.
