Hopefully this information will be of some value to your research. It looks like Emma Westlake had a sister, Louise (Knust) Rabe also living in Noble Township, Cass County, Iowa. You probably already have the information on Frederick Knust and Dorothea Meyer/Myer and the census, cemetery, and Civil War records but if not, I included them since I located them in searching to assist you.
