Mrs. H. DREWELOW Chickasaw Pioneer Dies Thursday

The death of Mrs. Herman J. DREWELOW takes one of Chickasaw County's oldest residents. She died Thursday morning, March 16, at her home in Boyd, following an illness of five months. She was 82 years of age.

Ernestine SCHULZ was born icon in Schoenwalde, Kruess, Naugart, in the province of Pomerania, Germany, on July 10, 1861, the daughter of Carl and Friedricka SCHULZ.

Her elder sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Herman DUENOW, immigrated to America and through their influence, were joined here later by her parents, brothers and sisters, coming to Chickasaw County where she has lived these many years.

On December 6, 1883, she was married icon to Herman DREWELOW, who at that time was engaged in farming, owning the land where the town of Boyd is now situated. When the Chicago Great Western Railroad was being built, Mrs. DREWELOW personally assisted with work on this thoroughfare which was brought across their land. She assisted in building the grade through this particular section where she drove a team. She displayed such skill and workmanship on her part of the project that switches were set up here and a depot erected, hence the town of Boyd, where she has lived her entire life since coming to America at the age of 22 years. With all the other tasks Mrs. DREWELOW still found time to board the workmen while putting through the railroad.

Mr. and Mrs. DREWELOW did much in developing this town which was very enterprising in the early days, when roads were poor and travel was either by rail or horse-drawn means.

Mrs. DREWELOW was very devout in her faith, being baptized and confirmed a Lutheran. Before the church was built at Boyd if she had not other means of transportation to come to New Hampton to worship on Sunday, she would walk the track the distance from Boyd and back. It was through the efforts of these fine people, Mr. and Mrs. DREWELOW, and a few of the other old settlers, that the St. John's Lutheran Church was established in this once thriving little town. She was one of the charter members of the Ladies Aid Society of her church.

Her life was always a busy one. Mrs. DREWELOW was the mother of ten children, all living except one son, Otto, who died at the age of ten years. Those surviving her are her aged husband, three daughters, Martha, Mrs. Frank ZIERATH; Elsie, Mrs. Fred BARSTEL, and Tena, Mrs. Herman SCHULZ. The sons are Julius, Herman, Emil, Albert, William and Reinhart. Also surviving are her elder sister, Mrs. Ulrieka DUENOW and forty-three grandchildren and twenty-six great grandchildren.

Mrs. DREWELOW was a wonderful helpmate and mother, ever kind and considerate of others. The high esteem in which she was held was evidenced by many floral offerings and the large group who came to pay their last respects to this fine lady.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from St. John's Lutheran Church in Boyd. Burial was in the parish cemetery.

Her casket was borne by her grandsons, Earl, Everett, Francis and Gerald DREWELOW and Elgar SCHULZ and a relative, Orval SCHUCHARDT.

Those who attended the funeral from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. William DREWELOW of Beardsley, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Fred VON BARSTEL, Hammond, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. Herman SCHULZ, Elgar SCHULZ, Mr. and Mrs. Earl MILLER and Mr. and Mrs. George SCHNUKLOTH of Grand Meadow, Minn.; Mrs. Ferdinand PAGEL and son, Reinhart SCHULZ of Chippewa Falls, Wis.; Mr. and Mrs. Max BREHMER, Mr. and Mrs. Robert SCHULZ, Albert, Leo and Herbert SCHULZ, Bertha and William BREHMER and Mr. and Mrs. Carl RUNGE of Spring Valley, Minnesota.
