KENNISTON, family burials in Oakland Cemetery
Kent E. Kenniston
My great-great-great grandfather, Issac Kenniston, is buried in Oakland Cemetery, 18th
and Carroll, Lee County, Keokuk, Iowa. He is buried in Lot #53, Block #10. Isaac
Kenniston died on 29 Jan 1898 in Green, Iowa and was buried in Oakland Cemetery
per Death Records Book #1 and 2, 1867-1903 Lee Co. on page 146, line 21 from the
top.
Also buried with Isaac in the same Lot and Block # are the following
grandchildren.
Florence Agness Kenniston 11-22-1885,
Mamie Kenniston 3-11-1891,
Charles
McDonald Kenniston 11-13-1893.
I wish to state, the graves have no headstone, and are located on a steep
hillside covered with Day Lillies. As you stand at the head of the grave sites
facing downward of the hillside, and you look to the left, you will see
mausoleums and the cemetery vault.
Isaac's wife, Clementine, is buried next to her son, Rev George N. Kenniston in
Hettinger township, Adams County, North Dakota.
MANSHEIM
Most American Mansheims are descendants of only ONE Germanic-American immigrant
couple: THOMAS MANSHEIM and ANNA KAISER MANSHEIM, of Gronia, Prussia (Germany),
who arrived with their 7 children, via the Mississippi River, at Fort Madison,
Lee Co., Iowa Territory, in March, 1843.
Their children were:
Daughter Mansheim Witte (daughter's and husband's first
names unknown);
John Mansheim (Katherine Dierker);
Anna Catherina Hubertina
"Ann" or "Catherine"? Mansheim Schwartz (John B. Schwartz);
William Mansheim
(never married - died younger, of consumption);
Clemence Mansheim (2 marriages:
Maria Dierker and Bertha Pennartz);
Anna Maria "Mary Ann" Mansheim Droppel Wipke
(2 marriages:
George Droppel and Henry? Wipke);
Franklin Mansheim (left Iowa
1849 for the California Gold Rush - never heard from again - presumed dead).
