Mrs. Renskers Returns to America 

With Her Husband and Young Son 

Prof. and Mrs. Herman Renskers, and son, John Ogsbury Renskers, of Amoy, Chines, are again on American soil, having arrived at the home of Prof. Renskers’ parents, at Cedar Grove, Wis., on Tuesday, May 22nd. 

They left Amoy on April 25th taking a coastwise steamer to Hongkong, leaving for Yokohama, Japan on May 1st and after sixteen days’ travel on the S. S. President Jefferson, landed at Seattle on Thursday, May 17th. 

The voyage was uneventful except for several days after leaving Hongkong they encountered very heavy gales, causing much sickness and loss of sleep. 

They left Seattle by fast express on Sunday and arrived at Cedar Grove early Tuesday morning, the running time being less than three days. 

Mrs. Renskers before marriage was Miss Bessie N. Ogsbury, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Ogsbury of Altamont. With her husband and son she will come to Altamont during the summer for an extended visit with her parents. With the exception of a period of less than two years, Mrs. Renskers has been in the foreign field since 1910.
