Published Obituary
From the Advertiser (Adelaide, SA), Monday 14 October 1895:
" DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST.
Early on Saturday morning Mrs. Magdalena E. Menz, of Wakefield-street, died at the age of 76. The deceased lady came to the colony in 1849 from Germany, and shortly after her arrival was married to the late Mr. Johann Menz. In 1850 she started a small grocery business in Wakefield-street. In 1860 Mrs. Menz was left a widow with a young family. Subsequently the business which she had inaugurated was taken over by her sons, who are still conducting it. Mrs. Menz, who was very well known to German citizens, had been ill for about four months. She had resided in Wakefield-street for 46 years, and her death will be very much regretted by a large number of people. Her two sons, Messrs. William and August Menz, and her daughter, Mrs. O. Basedow, survive her, as well as five grandchildren.
The funeral took place at the West-terrace Cemetery on Sunday afternoon. The burial service was conducted in German by the Rev. Kasper Dorsh. Among those present around the grave were — Messrs. W. Menz and August Menz (sons), Rudolph Menz, and Adolph Menz, the Hon. F. Basedow, M.L.C., Messrs. O. Basedow P. Gay, Julius Dursthoff, J. Kindermann, A. Swain, E. Pustkuchen, J. Sobels, C. von Bertouch, G. Patfull, G. Reinecke, E. Siekmann, H. Schröder, Jacobsen, A. Keidel H. Just, J. Conigrave, J. Eitzen, A. Werner, W. Weber, W. Knick, O. Boettger, C. Wittig, L. F. Wicklein, A. Leschen, J. M. Wendt, A. Ornstein, W. Kindermann, and Klein, and Dr. von Lukowitz. Mr. E. Hennigs acted as undertaker. ” [1]
