The following article, about the death of Christina Benkelman, was in the August 19, 1897 "Home Happenings" column of the Cass City Enterprise:

"Mr. and Mrs. Fred Benkelman live about four miles northeast of this place. Mr. Benkelman has been in poor health for some time. Yesterday afternoon, as Jacob Joos was returning from town, he called to leave their mail and not seeing Mrs. Benkelman inquired for her. He was told that she had been out for some time and upon a search being made she was found lying on the ground at the rear of the house. It was thought at first that she was only in an unconscious condition but investigation proved that life was already extinct. She was 74 years of age, and with her husband was among the earliest settlers here. The children are all married and away from home. "

Her husban Fred died just 10 days later.
