ANNA BERNAU KNEUPER

Anna Bernau Kneuper was born in Clayton county, Iowa, Jan. 9, 1859, and died at her home in Jefferson township, Madison county, Iowa, Dec. 14, 1910, at the age of 61 years, 11 months and 5 days. July 15, 1876, she was united in marriage to Reinhold Kneuper, who preceded her in death May 27, 1912. With her parents she came to Madison county in 1873 and thus had been a continuous resident of this county for forty-seven years.

Surviving members of her family and her near relatives are as follows. Three sons, Herman of Wolsey, S.D., Albert of Whittemore, Ia., and Richard of this county; one daughter, Mrs. Clara Vaudt, who resides at Whittemore, Ia.; her aged mother, who is now 96 years of age, and one sister, Mrs. Etta Wishmier, of Madison County, Iowa.

Funeral services were held Dec. 16, conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. H. Schreiber, of the Lutheran church, and burial was made in the cemetery nearby.

While she had been failing in health for some time, her last illness extended over a period of only six weeks. Her memory will be cherished as that of a devoted mother, and her influence will remain as that of a Christian woman, whose life was well lived.
