She caughtpneumonia and died. Her funeral visitation was held in the parlor ofKathryn Tadsen's home at 317 Jackson Street, Port Clinton, Ohio.Relatives 'sat up all night' with the body while it was in the home.In accordance with the local custom a black wreath was placed on thefront door to indicate a house in mourning.

Card in the possession of Gretchen Valentine in loving remembrance ofLawrence Lorenzen, Died September 3, 1905, Age 50 years. According toa newspaper article titled, Hard Work Responsible for a Young Mindand Body, Ninety Year Old Resident Declares, about Catherine Kruse'Tena' Lorenzen, her husband, Lawrence, was a fisherman and later asaloon keeper in Port Clinton. Deed: Port Clinton Cemetery, Clerk ofthe Village of Port Clinton, Ohio to Lawrence Lorenzen, Lot No. 119,Sub-Div. C, for the sum of $21.00 Recorded April 21, 1903, on Page 141of the records of said Cemetery. Wm. Cleaver, Clerk Copy given to meby Kathryn Tadsen Sharp. According to the recollections of KathrynTadsen Sharp, Uncle Epke Lorenzen (1851-1936) and Aunt 'Rickey'Friederike (1862-1948) were related to the Krietzfelts-- they arementioned in the letter of Emma Matthiessen to Magnus Tadsen (seenotes for Magnus Tadsen). Aunt Rickey was also a witness on NickTadsen's Registration of Birth. I am still not sure of theserelationships. Ipke Lorenzen married Reika Selmer, Ottawa County,Ohio, 27 October 1881 (my notes). I ordered a death certificate forEpke Lorenzen. I think he may be Lawrence's brother. His deathcertificate states that he was born in Horsbull, Germany. It says hisfather's name was Fedder Johansen born in Germany and the maiden nameof his mother was Eoegel Johansen, born in Germany. How can this be ifhis last name was Lorenzen? The informant was Mrs. Andrew Lausten(Freida), Epke's daughter. The death certificate of Lawrence's mother,Engel Christina Lorenzen states that her parents' name was Johansen.This must be further investigated. According to Kathryn Tadsen Sharp,Grandpa Lorenzen was said to have been a 'sharp dresser'. He alwayswore a starched shirt and had his initials monogrammed on the cuff. Heowned the Lorenzen Saloon on Second Street in downtown Port Clintonand his family lived above the saloon. It is said that he alwayswanted to get a piano, but Tena, his wife, always squelched the ideasaying if there was ever a fire they would never get it out becausethey lived on the second floor. According to Kathryn Tadesen Sharp,Grandpa Lorenzen always let people 'run up a tab' in his saloon.Grandma always said that if everyone who owed him money had paid him,they would be rich. According to Kathryn Tadsen Sharp there was afamily story about Grandpa Lorenzen being gored to death by a bull.She thinks maybe this could have been Grandpa Lorenzen's father, butshe doesn't know. Marriage Date from microfiche at Fort Wayne,Indiana. Note time between marriage and birth of first child. Nodeath certificate for Lawrence is recorded in Ottawa County, Ohio.Perhaps he died in another county. Notes of Gretchen Rader Valentinedated 3/14/95 state that Geshe Katrina Kruse married John LawrenceLorensen on Feb. 17, 188?. Should I look for Lorenz under the nameJohn? Is that why I can't find his death certificate? Her notesfurther state that he died September 3, 1905 age 49 years. MarriageRecord from St. John's Lutheran Church, Port Clinton, Ohio.
