6001	The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for Amelia (Haefner) Wellemeyer which she reported had appeared on 25 October 1950 in the Garner Leader [of Garner, Iowa]. Graveside services were held at Concord Cemetery Thursday for Mrs. Ed Wellemeyer, 86, former Garner resident, who died in the Washington County hospital, Washington, Iowa, on 17 October. Funeral services were conducted at Washington October 18 by the pastor and the assistant pastor of the Washington Methodist Church. One of Mrs. Wellemeyer's favorite solos, "The Twenty-seventh Psalm" was sung at the service. Mrs. Wellemeyer was born Amelia Haefner on 24 May 1864 in Giard, Iowa. She was the daughter of Charles and Mary Horney Haefner and was reared and educated in the schools of Clayton County. She was married to Edward M. Wellemeyer 27 June 1889. The first years of their married life they lived on a farm west of Garner, later moving to Garner where they resided until the death of her husband in 1931. Since then she has made her home most of the time in the homes of her children, spending many winters in her son's home, and the summers with her daughter. The past four years she has lived in the home of her daughter and son-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Foster Bickell of Washington. Mrs. Wellemeyer was a member of the German Methodist Church and her greatest interests were music, flowers, her home and her church. She was able to attend church services until the past two months. She has been declining for two years and seriously ill ten days before her death. Survivors include her daughter Viola and son Elmer of New York City and four grandchildren.	Haefner, Amelia H. (I5763)
6002	The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for Aurilla Farnham (Sage) Wellemeyer which she reported had appeared on Wednesday, 1 April 1903, in the Garner Signal. The Signal was published in Garner, Iowa. A most shocking accident occurred last Friday, at about 8:30 a.m., which resulted in the death of Mrs. George L. Wellemeyer, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Sage of this city, the unfortunate woman surviving only until a few moments after noon on the same day. It seems that Mrs. Wellemeyer went from the home of her parents (where she and her children have been residing some weeks while the husband and father went traveling for the Minneapolis Tribune) to her own home near Concord, in order to get out a shotgun to deliver to one of her brothers-in-law, which her husband had sold to him. She went to the home alone, and supposing the gun was not loaded, she hurriedly grasped it by the muzzle, and pulling it toward her out of a box in which it had been placed, the hammer caught and discharged the entire load into her thigh, lacerating it terribly. Her frantic screams were heard by Mrs. Reed's hired girl nearby, and also by Mrs. Benson, who resides across the street, and as quickly as possible all the ladies named flew to the sufferer's assistance only to find her lying on the floor and weltering in a pool of blood, and rapidly sinking into unconsciousness. The accident occurred quite a distance from the business part of town. As quickly as it could be done, Clara Reed mounted a horse and sped away for surgical assistance, while Mr. Benson hitched up his horse and buggy, and dashed down town as it was apparent almost at first glance that Mrs. Wellemeyer's hours were numbered. But three-quarters of an hour elapsed before the surgeons could reach the scene, and it was then too late. All this time the dying woman was stretched out on the floor where she first fell, but Mrs. Reed hastily vacated a room in her house and the sufferer was placed on a cot and moved over there, but where, in defiance of all that could be done by skilled surgeons, a frantic mother, brother, three sisters, a brother-in-law and many other near and loving relatives and friends, she lingered in agony until about 12:20 p.m., when her soul took its flight to the Great Beyond, and she was at rest in the arms of her God. Her husband was at Wesley when the tragedy occurred, while Mr. Sage, her father, was at Cresco, and of course neither could reach her side before she died. Neither could she see or know her three little boy babies, as they were too far downtown to be carried to her until the glaze of death was on her eyes. Both her father and husband were wired of the distressing event, and both reached home as soon as possible, while many relatives by marriage came from their homes from a distance in response to the horrible summons, and were present at the funeral. Aurilla Farnham Sage Wellemeyer was born 8 August 1877 at Mechanicsville, Iowa and was therefore 25 years, 7 months and 19 days old. She was taken by her parents to South Dakota in 1882, and at Miller, St. Lawrence and Huron, in that state, grew to womanhood, the pride of loving parents and beloved by all who knew her for those sterling qualities of head and heart that were pronounced characteristics from her very birth. She came back to Iowa with her parents who located at Sibley in 1897, at which place she was married to George L. Wellemeyer the eve of Thanksgiving in 1899, removing from there to Klemme, in this county soon after, and later still to Crystal Lake, at which places Mr. Wellemeyer was engaged in newspaper business. Mrs. Wellemeyer was the fond and devoted mother of three bright, prattling boy babies, the oldest only just past three, the youngest a babe in arms. If ever a woman was a faithful energetic and devoted wife and mother, it was Aurilla. She was so known and accepted by all who knew her. Those who knew her best loved her most, and she leaves behind a multitude of grief stricken, anguished relatives and friends, who can find consolation only in the thought that she has gone to a better world, where sorrows never enter, and where her saintly spirit is forever at rest. Revs. Troutman and Bell testified in mute but elequent terms, officiating at her funeral in the M.E. Church on Sunday at 2:00 p.m.	Sage, Aurilla Farnham (I5804)
6003	The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for Carl Wesley Wellemeyer which she reported had appeared on 29 November 1933 in an unidentified Garner, Iowa newspaper. "Carl Wesley Wellemeyer was born 12 May 1877 at Sleepy Eye, Minnesota. He was the second of a family of nine children born to his parents, Frank H. Wellemeyer and Mary M. (Klaus). His father being a minister, the family lived in several towns and Carl's education was received in grade schools of Freeport, Illinois, Giard, Dubuque, Lemars, Garner and Decorah, where he graduated from high school. Mr. Wellemeyer attended Charles City College, after which he taught school two years in Garner, two years in Duncan, six years in Liberty Township, making a total of ten years in Hancock County schools. His main business, however, was farming. He farmed seven years in Liberty Township, sold out and moved to Delaware County near Colesburg, where he lived on a farm the past quarter of a century. Departed was married 12 June 1907 to Sarah Merten. From this union came two children, one son Howard, who is working at home, and one daughter, Helen, who preceeded him in death. Mr. Wellemeyer was a quiet, kindly nature, who never quarreled with his neighbors, always showing a tendency to meet the other fellow more than halfway. His wife and son feel that he has bequeathed to them the good will of everyone who knew him, a priceless legacy. A brief characterization of Carl Wellemeyer's busy and useful life reveals many things of outstanding value. In his educational work he was always forward looking and progressive. In his church affiliations he was faithful to every trust; but outstanding in his musical contribution. His singing for all manner of community functions was in general demand. Very particularly was this true in connection with funerals because of his sympathetic voice. Few men are capable of serving a community as he did this, his home county. In fact, his service to his fellow men at times became a severe strain and in sacrifice of time can hardly be estimated. He was a member of the Colesburg child welfare committee and Farmers Telephone Company. Mr. Wellemeyer was usually in good health. On Thursday afternoon, 23 November, he suffered a heart attack while at work, from which he failed to recover. He reached the age of 58 years, 6 months and 11 days. It leaves his wife, one son Howard, at home; two sisters, Hulda, Mrs. Robert Merten of Gutherie, Oklahoma and Ruth, Mrs. C. L. Melcher of Charles City; and three brothers, Arthur of Klemme; Ernest of Patterson, California and Fletcher of Kansas City, Kansas; and a host of other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in the Methodist Church at Colesburg, with the pastor, Rev. George Notedwift in charge. Rev. A. H. Meyer, former pastor at Klemme, and long time friend of the family, gave the funeral address. Rev. F. C. Grieve, pastor of the Methodist Church at Masonville, and former Klemme resident, conducted the service at the grave. A local soloist sang "Crossing the Bar," and "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." Pallbearers were men by the name of Klaus living in the locality. Burial was made in the family lot beside his daughter, Helen, in the Zion Cemetery west of Colesburg."	Wellemeyer, Carl Wesley (I5553)
6004	The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for Clara Belle Yoter which she reported had appeared on 29 December 1933 in the Weekly Arbor State, of Wymore, Nebraska. Mrs. W. H. Wellemeyer, 73 years old, passed away suddenly Sunday morning, following a short sick spell with her heart. She had been a resident of this city for the past thirty-three years. Clara Belle Yoter was born at Neola, Kansas, 11 October 1860, and died at her home in Wymore, Nebraska 24 December 1933. On 12 October 1879 she was united in marriage to William H. Wellemeyer at Clear Lake, Iowa, and they lived to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. To this union was born one daughter, Lorene, who passed away five months ago. The family moved to Wymore in 1900 from Kansas, living here since that time. Mrs. Wellemeyer was an invalid many years and the past few was confined to her home. She leaves no immediate relatives, but was cared for since her daughter Lorene's death, by good friends. Funeral services were conducted at her home Tuesday, 26 December, Rev. William P. Reid of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, of which she was a confirmed member, and her body was laid to rest in Wymore Cemetery beside her husband and daughter.	Yoter, Clara Belle (I5700)
6005	The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for Frank Henry Wellemeyer which she reported had appeared on Sunday, 30 March 1930 in the Beatrice Daily Sun, of Wymore, Nebraska. Will H. Wellemeyer, pioneer resident and business man of Wymore, died at his home here Saturday. He had been confined to his bed only for the past three days, but about six weeks ago, suffered a slight parlytic stroke. He had improved enough, however, to return to his work as a watchman at the Black Brothers Flour Mill here, and work until Tuesday of this week. He was 78 years old, born at Wapello, Iowa, and coming west in the early days settled near St. Francis Kansas, where the then newly wedded couple made their home for five years, Mr. Wellemeyer being engaged in insurance and real estate business. In 1885 they moved to Norton, Kansas where he was assistant cashier for the Norton First National Bank for nine years. The couple came to Wymore in 1890, eight years after the town was platted, and have lived here continually since. Mr. Wellemeyer was active in the early history of the town, and for more than a quarter of a century was in various business enterprises, most of the time operating a hardware store. He sold out 12 years ago. He served two terms as city treasurer of Wymore from 1918 to 1924, and recently had been in the employ of Black Brothers. Only last October the couple celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary. He is survived by the widow and one daughter, Miss Lorene, at home.	Wellemeyer, William Henry (I276)
6006	The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for Helen Clarice Wellemeyer which she reported had appeared on Tuesday, 31 March 1931 in the Manchester Democrat, of Manchester, Iowa. "Manchester friends of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Wellemeyer of Colesburg learn with profound sorrow of the sudden death, on Sunday morning, at the home of her parents, of their daughter, Helen, a young woman nineteen years of age and who had been teaching the school at Almoral for some time. Miss Wellemeyer succumbed to an attack of influenza succeeding a nervous breakdown, and her death renders the home desolate. Funeral services are to be held tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon at two o'clock from the Methodist church in Colesburg, and burial will be made in the cemetery there. Miss Wellemeyer was born on the farm near Colesburg, graduated from the High School of that village and attended the State Normal School at Cedar Falls. She is survived by her parents and one brother, Howard, who are heartbroken over this great sorrow. The family is so well known in Delaware County that sympathy for the sorrowing relatives will be general and heartfelt. Helen was a lovable, intelligent girl, a devoted daughter and an ambitious teacher. Her nature was happy, her disposition unselfish and her life gave promise of great usefulness. That she should have been taken at the very threshold of young womanhood, idolized by her parents and beloved by her friends, is a calamity too great for words. Manchester friends feel for Mr. and Mrs. Wellemeyer the largest measure of sincere sympathy."	Wellemeyer, Helen Clarice (I5565)

6011	The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for Mrs. Mina F. Curry which she reported had appeared on Friday, 29 November 1929, in the Missouri Sentinel, of Oregon, Missouri. Mrs. Mina F. Curry, publisher of The Holt County Sentinel, died Friday 22 November 1929 at her home in Oregon, Missouri at the age of 70 years. Death came after an acute illness of about eight weeks, although she had been in failing health for several years. Mrs. Curry leaves to cherish her memory two children, William R. Curry of Oregon and Mrs. Anna Rayhill of Maryville; five grandchildren, Edna, Alice, Lois, JoAn and Helen Rayhill; three sisters, the Misses Mary and Anna Fiegenbaum and Mrs. Carrie Steinmetz of St. Joseph; nephews, nieces and a host of other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at the late home Sunday afternoon and burial was in Maple Grove Cemetery beside her husband, the late Tom Curry, who four years ago, on 18 November 1925, had preceded his wife in death. The Rev. T. E. Arnholt of St. Joseph had charge of the service and the body was carried to its last resting place by John Markt, Dan R. Kunkel, George Gelvin, John Scott, Earl Stephenson and Albert Seeman. Mrs. Gertrude Hinde paid tribute of beautiful song at the bier of her life-long friend and was accompanied by Flora Ann Bunker on the violin. There at the home on that beautiful winter afternoon which was last Sunday, amid the scenes she loved, her couch banked with a profusion of flowers that were her delight in life and in death mute testimony of the high esteem in which she was held, hosts of relatives and friends from Oregon and neighboring towns and other places more distant, gave their last token of respect to one whose life among them had won the love and respect of all. The final rites were simple and beautiful. The Rev. Mr. Arnholt preached no sermon. He talked beautifully and reverently of one he had loved, of one who often had been a welcome visitor in his home. Of one who lived a beautiful and devoted life and had gone on to well-earned rest, and the song by Mrs. Hinde completed the comforting and healing service. An obituary written by Miss Anna Fiegenbaum was read by Mr. Arnholdt. It follows: Mrs. Christina Wilhelmina Curry was born 30 August 1859 at Galena, Illinois, and passed away Friday, November 22, 1929 at her home in Oregon, Missouri, after an illness of eight weeks at the age of 70 years, one month and twenty-two days. She was the daughter of the late Rev. Henry and Clara Fiegenbaum, having been born and reared in a Methodist parsonage, she from earliest infancy was taught the way of life and as a girl of twelve she united with the church where her father was pastor of the little German Church of this city and in which she held her membership until the day the German M. E. Churches united with the English M. E. Churches, and being in poor health, had never placed her letter with any congregation, as she was away from home the greater part of her widowhood. She was married to Tom Curry, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Curry, 18 February 1885 at St. Joseph, Missouri. Coming directly to their home here in Oregon, where they resided until the departure of Mr. Curry which occurred 18 November 1925. To them were born a son, William R. Curry and a daughter, Anna Curry Rayhill. The son, taking up his father's work, made his home with his mother and for four years gave her the best, loving care any son could give his mother - nothing in his power was left undone. The daughter having married J. J. Rayhill, living at Maryville, came over as often as possible, bringing her family of five little girls to cheer and comfort the mother, and how the grandmother did love her babies. And with her passing leaves them the memory of a kind, loving, devoted mother and grandmother. Much of Mrs. Curry's life had been spent in Oregon. Living here as a girl, then leaving for a time, she returned as a bride and here she spent her married life. Here her children were born. Here her husband died and here was laid to rest. Mrs. Curry entered actively into every phase of life in the community. She was identified with the justly famous Woman's Union and a leader in the later but equally famous Chrysanthemum Society. Until the German M. E. Church was absorbed by the English branch, she was active in the local congregation. Also during the time her husband was postmaster, she helped in that office. It was in the home, however, that Mrs. Curry spent most lavishly of her great store of love. Home was her life and she was ever ready to share it with others or to go out to the assistance of those needing her help. She was self-denying almost to a fault. Ever ready to give of her strength to ease the way for others. During her husband's illness over a period of years she was a wonderful companion, uncomplainingly doing all she could for him. For many years it was Mr. and Mrs. Curry's custom to spend their winters in Texas. On one of these trips eight to ten years ago, she suffered an attack of ptomaine poisoning and the decline of her health marked from that time. Undaunted by illness she carried on until about eight weeks before her death. Mrs. Curry even then made a valiant fight to live, but to no purpose and the end came peacefully near the close of the day, Friday, November 22nd. No higher praise can be said of a woman than that she was a devoted and loving wife and mother, a wonderful neighbor and a useful citizen -- and that was Mrs. Curry.	Fiegenbaum, Christina Wilhelmina (I332)

6020	The following obituary was published in The Holt County Sentinel, of Oregon, Missouri, on Friday, 6 March 1914. The newspaper was published by Thomas Curry, Rev. Friedrich Fiegenbaum's nephew-in-law.           Death of Rev. Fiegenbaum.      Rev. Frederick Fiegenbaum, the last of four brothers, all of whom were pioneer German Methodist preachers in the central and western states, died Saturday, Feb. 28, 1914, at Wathena, Kas., where he had lived ten years.      He was pastor of the Oregon German M. E. church during the years 1892-96, and was an uncle of Mrs. Tom Curry, of this city.      Rev. Fiegenbaum was nearly 84 years old, and all of the brothers attained about the same age, and were active in the pulpit until within a few years of their deaths. Not only were the brothers Methodist preachers, but their two sisters, who survive, married preachers, one a regular pastor, and the other a local preacher of the Methodist church. The family is widely known in German Methodism in this country.      Rev. Frederick Fiegenbaum was born in Ladbergen, Germany, April 10, 1830. He came to America in 1832 with his parents, Adolph and Christine Fiegenbaum, and settled in Warren county, Missouri, where he grew to manhood. His early years were spent on the farm. Then he went to St. Louis, where his older brothers and sisters had found employment for him. With them he was brought into contact with a German Methodist revival, and after being converted he felt the call to the ministry, as his two older brothers were.      Rev. Fiegenbaum had charges in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. There being no German conference when he entered the ministry, he joined the Rock River conference, then later the Southwest German, now the St. Louis conference, and from there he was transferred to the West Missouri conference. His last charge was at Oregon, Mo., from where he moved to Wathena. His wife, who was Miss Louise Otto, and to whom he was married at Wapello, Iowa, when he was 21 years old, died November 30, 1911. The other brothers were Rev. William, Rev. H. R., and Rev. Henry Fiegenbaum, the last named for a number of years a resident of St. Joseph, died in that city, January 13, 1905.      Six sons and three daughters survive, as follows: Adolph H., Washington, D. C.; Louis S. Lincoln, Neb.; Theodore J., Western, Neb.; Benjamin F., Lawrence, Kas.; Henry, Springfield, Neb.; Edward W., Geneva, Neb.; and Mrs. Matthew Sexauer, Ankeny, Iowa; Mrs. Jacob Miller, Wathena. The sisters are: Mrs. Elizabeth Wellmeyer [sic], Warrenton, Mo., age 86, and Mrs. Mina Winter, Casper, Wyo., aged 82.      The funeral was held at Wathena, Kas., Sunday, March 1, services being conducted from the home and from the Wathena German M. E. church, burial being at Wathena.      Mrs. Tom Curry, of this city, and Mrs. Carrie Steinmetz, of St. Joseph, who was here visiting, nieces of the deceased, attended the funeral.      Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts provided the following transcription of an obituary which appears to have been published in a newspaper serving Wathena, Kansas.      Frederick William Fiegenbaum was born in Ladbergen, Prussia 10 April 1830. His parents emigrated to the United States in 1834 and located in the neighborhood of Hopewell, Warren County, Missouri, which was his home until he was 21 years of age. On 19 February 1846, while attending a quarterly meeting, he was converted and became a member of the Methodist-Episcopal Church. the following morning he received a call to enter the ministry, but did not begin active work until the spring of 1853. In 1852 he was married to Louisa Otto, who passed to her reward 30 November 1911. Ten children were born to them, of whom one died in infancy. Six sons and three daughters survive. Mrs. Minnie Sexauer of Ankeny Iowa; A. H. Fiegenbaum of Washington D.C.; Mrs. Lydia M. Howard of Sac City, Iowa; Louis Fiegenbaum of Lincoln, Nebraska; Theodore Fiegenbaum of Western, Nebraska; Mrs. Emma Miller of Wathena, Kansas; Benjamin Fiegenbaum of Lawrence, Kansas; Henry Fiegenbaum of Springfield, Nebraska and William Edward Fiegenbaum of Geneva, Nebraska. He was superanuated in 1895 and lived in Oregon, Missouri until 1902 when he and his wife moved to Wathena. After the death of Mrs. Fiegenbaum, he visited among the children, and in September he came to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emma Miller. His strength was failing at this time and grew weaker until he finally passed peacefully to his reward 27 February 1914, aged 83 years, 10 months and 17 days. Father Fiegenbaum's presence in the community will be greatly missed. Those who knew him well, even the child on the street, always had a word and a smile from him; he was staunch, and loyal to the last for right and truth, especially anxious always for the upbuilding of the church in the community in which he lived. He never missed going to all the services in the town, when he was able, and was especially strong in his belief that the children had an important part in the church as in the family. The bereaved family will always remember his anxiety and loving thoughtfulness for each alike, and may the Spirit of our Christ, who was Father Fiegenbaum's guide, in all things be ours. The funeral was held Sunday at 2:00 p.m. from the house to the German M. E. Church. Rev. E. Crepin and Rev. J. H. Bishop preached in English and Rev. Buechner of St. Joseph in German. Burial was in Bellemont Cemetery by the side of his life's companion, all the children being present. Other relatives in attendance were: Miss Anna Fiegenbaum, Mrs. Steinmetz, both of St. Joseph, Missouri; Mrs. Tom Curry of Oregon, Missouri and Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Winter of Topeka, Kansas.

6082	The identity of this child as the same Heinrich enumerated in the 1860 U.S. census is problematic.      Heinrich Louis Maun's date of birth on 11 April 1861 is clearly indicated by the published baptismal and burial records from the archives of the evangelical church at Femme Osage, Missouri. It would therefore be impossible for him to have been counted as a member of the household in 1860.      The appearance of a 1 year old child by the name of Heinrich in the 1860 census would suggest the possibility that Wilhelm and Maria Agnes had a son born sometime about 1858-1859. There is no evidence of such an event in the published records of the Femme Osage church.      Alternately, the Heinrich counted in the census might be the son of a relative, temporarily residing with Wilhelm and Maria Agnes. Not enough of this line of the genealogy is known at this time to evaluate this possibility.      The resolution of this problem of identity awaits further research.	Maun, Heinrich Louis (I4691)

6125	The marriage of "Heinrich Wilhelm Aufder Har," of "Teklenburg" and "Sophia Christina Elisabeth Schoppenhorst-Stilke," of "Teklenburg" was recorded in the register of the German Evangelical Church on Charrette, at Holstein, Missouri (known since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ). "Heinrich AufderHar" and "Ludwig Stilke" were witnesses at the ceremony.      There is a question raised by the dual surname of the bride in this record.      This couple's first child, Wilhelmina Elsabetha, died in infancy in 1858. In the record of that death from the same published church archives, the mother is identified as "Sophia Shoppenhorst (Stilke)." In all subsequent records relating to the births and deaths of her children, when her maiden surname is given, it is simply Schoppenhorst.      In the published records of the church at Holstein, Sophia is never specifically identified as a widow, as was the case for a number of brides in the years preceding and following the entry for Sophia's marriage in 1856. Between 1840, when the church's death register begins, and 1857, the only entry for someone with the surname Stilke is for "Christina Elisabeth Stilke, nee Schröer," who died on 3 July 1856 at the age of 54 years, 2 months. No additional information about relatives was provided. The first male bearing the Stilke surname in the death register is Ludwig, who died on 10 April 1866 at the age of 60 years. The register states that he was born on 16 September 1806 "in Lauenburg."      Interestingly, a Ludwig Stilke was the sponsor at the baptism in 1859 of "Wilhelm Ludwig Aufderhar," the second child of "Wilhelm Aufderhar" and "Sophia nee Schoppenhorst."      Rather than indicating a previous marriage, Sophia's dual surname may hint that although she was born a Schoppenhorst, she was raised in a Stilke household from an early age. An example of this occurrence may be found in the case of another member of the family. Frederike Charlotte Begemann was born 1 January 1866 in Truxton, Lincoln County, Missouri. Her mother passed away in 1868 and her father remarried later that same year. Frederike eventually ended up living with her mother's brother, Adolph Wehrmann, in Higginsville, Lafayette County, Missouri (at least 140 miles away, as the crow flies). At her confirmation in the local church in 1880, her name is given as "Friederike Begeman-Wehrmann."      At present, this remains pure speculation. A closer examination of the church, census and other records for Holstein and the surrounding area may answer these questions more satisfactorily.	Family F77
