Notes:

Died:
Linwood (Nelson) Jungerman had this appreciation of Anna:

     "Anna Sophia Knollenberg was a perfect example of the loving mother, efficient wife, and kindly neighbor. None ever entered her home but felt her interested concern for their personal welfare. Her mastery of the arts of cooking, sewing, cleaning, gardening, canning and poultry raising were unexcelled Oh! Those marvelous gooseberry pies!
     "She and her husband were married in St. Charles, MO and as the rest of the family moved West so did they. Their home for many years was the farm near Mayview. Here was where her children were educated, married, and launched into the world. Here in the Evangelical Cemetery her busy hands finally found rest."
