Obituary of Teacher J.M. HELMREICH

Teacher J.M. HELMREICH is resting from his labors after having taught in our schools for nearly fifty years.  He died in the Anaheim Sanitarium, Anaheim, California, on March 3, where he had submitted to a major operation, at the age of 70 years, 1 month, and 19 days.

John M. Helmreich was born in Frankenlust, Bay County, Michigan, January 14, 1858.  In the fall of 1872, he entered our Teachers’ Seminary at Addison, Illinois, where he was graduated in 1877.  He received and accepted a call to Yorkville, Illinois.  Later he served schools at Bay City, Michigan, where he labored diligently and faithfully for twenty-eight years, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Wisconsin Synod), and Orange, California.  In 1923 he was called to the principalship of the school of the newly organized Immanuel Congregation at Orange, California, where he labored faithfully until the fall of 1926.  After this he still served as organist of the congregation in Anaheim until the Sunday previous to his operation.  Teacher Helmreich was an accomplished organist and officiated in that capacity at all his charges.

In 1881 Teacher Helmreich entered the state of holy matrimony with Miss Sophia DEINDOERFER, of Saginaw, Michigan.  Their union was blessed with five children, two sons and three daughters.  One daughter (in 1897) and his beloved wife (in 1910) preceded him in death.  In 1913 he was again joined in holy wedlock, this time with Mrs. Johanna RECHLIN, with whom he shared joys and sorrows until his death.  He is survived by his wife, two sons, two daughters, five grandchildren, and three sisters.

Memorial services were held for the deceased in Immanuel Lutheran Church of Orange, California, from where the remains were sent to Bay City, Michigan, for interment.  Funeral services were held in that city on March 9 in Immanuel Church, and the remains were laid to rest beside those of his first wife in Elm Lawn Cemetery.  On departing this life he surely heard the voice of his Master: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant!  Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”  Matthew 25:21.
