| MKI Annotation | Lenk, Margarete, b. 8-29-1841 in Leipzig, d. 10-31-1917 in Dresden. Lenk was the daughter of the secondary school teacher Julius Ludwig Klee. From 1849, the family lived in Dresden, where Margarete Lenk received a classical humanist education from her father. After passing her teaching examination in 1863, Margarete Lenk ran a private teaching institute until 1868, when she married the preacher Emil Lenk, with whom she lived in Siebenlehn, Saxony, for the next several years. In 1873, the couple emigrated to the United States, where Emil Lenk served as a pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Millstatt, Illinois. In 1889, they both returned to Germany. |
