The Lost Nation Press, July 9, 1914 

Dorothea Wilhelmina Johanna Burmeister 

The funeral of Mrs. John Burmeister, whose death was briefly chronicled in the 
Press last week, occurred Saturday morning from the Lutheran Church in Lost 
Nation. Rev. Vollmer delivered the eulogy and conducted the services at the 
grave, interment being made in the Lost Nation Cemetery. 

Dorothea Wilhelmina Johanna Burmeister, nee Beuthin, was born in Pronsdorf, 
Schleswig Holstein, Germany, August 9, 1855. She united in marriage with John 
Burmeister on the 19th of May, 1876, and to this union were born twelve 
children. In 1885 they imigrated to this country and settled on a farm in 
South Grove, where they resided until three years ago when they retired to 
Lost Nation. 

For upwards of 15 years Mrs. Burmeister had been a sufferer, and medical 
treatment failed to bring but temporary relief. Wednesday afternoon, July 1, 
she departed from this life at the age of 58 years, 10 months and 22 days. Her 
demise is mourned by her husband, eight sons: Henry of Smithtown, Emil of 
South Grove, Carl of Nashville, Otto and Herman of Carroll, Iowa, and John, 
Albert and Leo of Lost Nation. Three daughters: Mary of North Dakota, Clara 
and Ella of home.
