Bio
s/o Fritz Girndt Girndt, HenryJoseph Henry Girndt, Prominent FarmerDies Thursday Henry Girndt died at his home south of Columbus Thursday afternoon, May 11 at 3:15 o'clock, after being ill for several years, dangerously so for two months before his demise. He was buried in OddFellows Rest Friday afternoon in the presence of a host of friends and loved ones, Rev. Theo.Streng, pastor of the Columbus Lutheran congregation, performing the ceremony. Mr. Girndt had suffered with a cancer for many years. He went to the John Sealy Hospital at Galveston for an operation in November of 1921, and remained until six had been performed. These seemed to be having the desired effect and he was allowed to come home for ten days during March of this year. While at home, his condition grew worse and he was unable to return to the hospital for further treatment. His condition now grew rapidly worse until his death. The best of medical attention and love of relatives proved useless against his dread disease. Mr. Girndt was born on June 7, 1872, at Ross Prairie, Fayette County, Texas. He was baptized into the Lutheran church and was confirmed April 3, 1887, Rev.Doerfler, pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church of Ellinger,performing this act. His childhood was spent at the country home of his parents and, later on, he followed in the occupation of his father as farmer. On August 4, 1872,he was (united) in marriage to Miss Anna Löeve of Ellinger, with whom he lived a happy and blessed life until death separated them. About ten years ago Mr. Girndt moved to Columbus with his family and after living here two years,left to his present home 8 miles south ofColumbus. The bereaved widow, 8 children -- Herman, Clara, Elo, Ewald, Max, Gilbert, Alfred and Hubert, also five brothers and four sisters, besides numerous other relatives remain to mourn the loss of the departed.
