Winifred Van Vleck

On January 2, Winifred Van Vleck departed this world, having fought a brave and patient fight for the life she loved so well but could not hold.

She was born in Cooksville, Wisconsin but when small the family moved to Evansville, where she attended the schools until graduation at the High School in the class of 1902. For a time she was employed at the Bank of Evansville, but a college education had always been her desire and aim and after a short time she entered Beloit College but finished her course at the University of Wisconsin. She taught in the high schools of Edgerton, Racine and Des Plaines. With a wealth of versatility and a purpose to constantly accomplish greater things and urged, even then, by poor health, she left the teaching profession and took a course in photography. In company with a close friend she bought a studio in Harvard, Ill., and here she lived and worked until the time of her death.

Success greeted her in all her undertakings because she had the determination and willingness to work. A strong, personality dominating in its forcefulness and gentleness gave her many friends who hold her in deep affection. It can be said of her, as it was of a soldier boy laid away on the hills of France, "Loving, Lovable, Loved."

She leaves to mourn her going her mother, Mrs. D. A. Van Vleck and one brother, John, both of Harvard, Ill.; two sisters, Mrs. Henry Porter of Evansville and Mrs. Walter Pflaum of Wauwatosa.

Services were held at the home Jan. 4, and a short service at Evansville, at the home of George L. Pullen. Interment at Maple Hill Cemetery.
