  • Name Knapheide, Sophia Annette 
    Born 23 Nov 1891  Warren County, Missouri, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 
    Gender Female 
    Baptism 15 Dec 1891  Warren County, Missouri, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [6] 
    • The baptism of "Sophia Annette Knapheide," daughter of Heinrich Knapheide and Maria Hackmann, was recorded in the register of die deutsche evangelische Immanuels Kirche zu Holstein (German Evangelical Immanuels Church of Holstein). Since 1957, the congregation has been known as Immanuels United Church of Christ. The parents were the sponsors at the baptism.
           Later in her life, the child's given names appeared in reverse order in primary and secondary records. This seems to have been a not uncommon practice for many German-American members of the family as they moved across the boundary of the 19th and 20th century and settled into an English-speaking world.
    Confirmation 8 Apr 1906  Holstein, Warren County, Missouri, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [3] 
    • The confirmation of Annette S. Knapheide, as she seems to have called at the time, was recorded in the register of the German Evangelical Immanuels Church (known since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ).
    Died 20 May 1954  Fayette, Howard County, Missouri, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [7, 8] 
    • According to information on her death certificate, "Annette Sophia Knapheide," who had never married, died at 1:00 p.m. at 306 North Cleveland, in Fayette, where she had resided for the last six months. In September 1953 an operation had discovered that Annette had carcinoma of the ovary and metastasis in the liver. At some time metastasis also appeared in the lung. The cause of her death was identified as carcinomatosis.
           Mrs. Walter Groeper, of Fayette, provided the personal information recorded in the death certificate. On the basis of other sources of information, it is likely that this is Annette's sister, Anna Meta Knapheide, who married Walter H. Groeper in 1919. It would appear that during the last half year of her life, Annette was living with her sister.
    Buried 23 May 1954  Holstein, Warren County, Missouri, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [9, 10] 
    • According to information on her death certificate, "Annette Sophia Knapheide" was to be buried in the "Emannel [sic] Cemetery" at Holstein, Missouri. This was no doubt a reference to one of the cemeteries associated with Immanuels Evangelical and Reformed Church.
           In the published death register of the church, she is identified as "Annetta Sophia Knapheide" and it is recorded that she was buried in the cemetery that was consecrated on 12 April 1916. It is located north of the brick church which was dedicated in 1884 as die deutsche evangelische Immanuels Kirche (German Evangelical Immanuels Church) and known since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ.
