Through the wonders of the web, we have connected with descendants of Anna, Franz and John. If you know others, please let them know about the site.

Frank was born in Germany while the next three children were born in Iowa. Mary was the first child born in Yankton.

Frank (1862 -1939) m. Nellie Strunk
Caroline (1866-1902) m. Frank Heirigs
Joseph E. (1867-1930) m. Emma Rothmeyer (1870-1947)
Peter (1868-1930) m. Catharine Wallace
Mary (1869-1934) m. John Mack

Theresa (1875-1904) m. Nels Andersen
Bertha (1879-1949) m. Gerard Smith
Cecilia (1881-1974) never married
Anna (1883-1894) died at 11
Josephine (1885-1949) m. William Cunningham
Louise (1887-1904)

In addition to the two boys they lost as infants, Theresia and Peter would also bury four other children – Anna (11); Caroline (36); Louise (17); and Theresa (29). Louise and Theresa died weeks apart in 1904 – likely from typhoid pneumonia. An article notes that Louise died of this and that her mother, ill from the same thing, was too sick to attend Louise’s funeral. Fourteen months later, Peter would die from a heart attack on November 1905 at 68.

On a happier note, it’s not a typo – Emma (Joseph) and her sister, Bertha (Charles), each married a brother.

Sorry to say, I don’t think we know descendants of any of the siblings on this list – if you do, please invite them to the site.

Clara (1893-1981) m. Louis Grimm
Anna (1895-1982) m. Thomas Slowey
Martha (1889-1991) m. Harry Shane
Ella (six months) A candle fell on her
Joseph (1901-1975) m. Kathleen Smith (1902-1981)
Mildred (1903-1989) m. August Houk
Alice (1905-2000) m. Clement Slowey
Paul (1909-1987) m. Donabell Stevens

Again, two brothers (Slowey) marry two sisters. Maybe Anna and Alice looked at their mom and their Aunt Bertha and decided it was a good idea? (By the by, we also see this pattern again but this time with the Rothmeyers and the Wagners. More on that later in the show.)

If you know the families of Paul, Mildred, or Clara, please invite them to the site!

By now, you’ve noticed an abundance of people named Anna, Frank, Joseph and Theresa. It appears that they ran out of names.

For clarity’s sake, before a woman is married, her married name will appear in parenthesis. Once she is married, her full married name will appear without parenthesis. For example, Anna Huber married Alois Nipp. Before her marriage to Alois, she is Anna (Nipp). After her marriage, she is Anna Nipp. Regarding the men, the maiden name of their wife will appear in parenthesis before their marriage. Prior to marriage, Alois is Alois (Huber) and after marriage, it will be (m. Huber).

When it’s obvious whom we are talking about, we will drop the parenthesis altogether.
