Her maiden name was Doll, and she was born on. the Rhine, in Ger- many, February 13, 1836, and came to America June 20, 1857. She had lived in Portsmouth for- ty seven, years.

After several years of widowhood she was join- ed in marriage to Henry Lenarz, who has been dead several years. Since she has made her home with tier son and only child, Lou H. Baum. Mrs. Lenarz was a woman known for her charity and many excellent qualities. She was gen- erous to the poor, and visited the sick and afflicted and gave freely of her earthly store to all wor- thy causes. She was a devoted member of St. Mary's Catholic church, and in her days of strength was an active worker in the parish. She was here at the building of St. Mary's church, having worshipped with the con- gregation when it occupied the old church on Madison street. She was a liberal giver to the church fund when the present fine struct- ure was planned and erected. She was here during the years of the civil war and had a vivid remem- brance of those stirring times. Her first husband was in business on Chillicothe street when there were very few houses north of Seventh street. She lived to see the struggling town grow to be a prosperous city. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock sun time from St. Mary's church. The pallbearer have been chosen from German citizens, friends of herself and family. They are as follows: Her man Huels, Philip Yinger, John Baron, Andrew Maire, John Dimler and Nick Ames.
