MUS. HELEN BAHLKE
JaM) TO REST
\/
The funeral of Mrs. Helen Bahlke
who died suddenly on the morning
of May twenty fourth took place
last Sunday from B. W. Neily’ij un
dertaking parlors at two pm. The
Pioneer Women of which she was a
member led .tjie funeral cortege to
the Federated Church, where fun
eral services were conducted .by
the women of the Eastern Star
according to the ritual of their or
der of which he deceased was a
I member. After the Eastern Star
| liturgy; re-pleudent with pathbs
and dignity; the Reverend Mr.
> Forrester offered up prayers to
jwhich the vas crowd of mourners
jacquiesed in spirit. During the
|services two beautiful solos were
jsun-g, one by Mrs. Lather Dunbar
Iwho sang“Beautiful Isle of Some
I where" and "The End of a Perfect
jDay" by Wilfred Neily; both of
| which impressively added to the
i solemnity of the ceremonies. Rob
Jert Baldwin as organist accompan
ied the soloists. The music was
beautifully rendered.
Mrs. Helen Bahlke was born on
the tenth of February. 1869 at
Olden burg. Germany and came to
the United States in 1892. She
came to Nome in the 1900 gold
rush and has been a continuous
resident of the second division
since that time. She was a res
ident of Council for a number of
years, where Mr Bahlke and she
conducted a prosperous business at
the Kane House. The decline of
Council as a mining camp brought
them back to Nome, where for
years she and her husband con
ducted Bahlke’s restaurant.
She was a woman respected and
adored by all fcho knew her. Her
deep and unbounded affection for
her husband and son as exempli
fied In her last testimony of ex
piring love; When with faltering
accents, struggling in death she
gave one more assurance of that
true bond of love that for thirty
years existed between her and the
partner of her life.
“There is no death, an angel form
Walks o’er the earth with silent
tread;
He hears our best beloved
things away
And then we call them “dead.”
Mrs Bahlke was married In
1904, she is survived by her hus
band. Anton Bahlke and a son.
Alvin, who has (been a student at
the School of Mines, Fairbanks
and who came by plane to Nome
on the intelligence of his mother’s
death. She has one brother living
at Mt. Olive, Illinois.
The funeral was largely attend
ed. The church was unable to
hold the large number of freinds
and neighbors that gathered to
pay their last respects. The floral
offerrings were the largest seen in
Nome for a long time, silent test
imony of love for the deceased.
The pali\bearers were L. E. Rob
inson, John Treichler, M.J. Walsh
Tom Jenseii, Ross Kinney, Thor
olf Lehmann Sr. Twenty three
automobiles followed the hearse to
Belmont Piont where after a brief
prayer by Rev. Mr. - Forrester the
body was Interred in the Masonic
Cemetery.
