Made available to The USGenWeb Archives by: Anna Catharine nee Buebenheim Zoellner Born: May 1, 1814 in Kurchessen Cassill, Germany Married: Henry Zoellner Died: February 13, 1900 in Marysville, Ohio Buried: Oakdale Cemetery, Marysville, Ohio (Wagner family plot) AN AGED RESIDENT DEAD (Newspaper obituary from a Marysville paper) One of the very oldest citizens of our city passed away Tuesday morning at 1 o’clock. Her death was very sudden and unexpected. When in the forepart of the winter she lay seriously sick with pneumonia and heart trouble, no one expected the aged lady to rally, the disease combined with old age seemingly making all recovery impossible. Contrary to the predictions of all, she rallied and once more regained her strength, until on Tuesday morning after a brief attack of her old trouble she fell peacefully asleep. Anna Catharine Zoellner was born May 1st, 1814, in Halsdorf, Hessia, Germany, where she was reared and educated, and where she lived most of her life. There she was married to Henry Zoellner and there all her children, ten in number, were born. In 1869, she and family emigrated for this country and settled in Hamilton, Ohio, two years later her husband died and left her to continue her pilgrimage alone. At Hamilton three of her children died. In 1880 she came to this city and lived with her daughter, Matilda Wagner, on South Chestnut Street. A little more than a year ago her daughter, Mary Kandel, died, whom she now joins in the world beyond the grave. Mrs. Zoellner was a very robust and strong person, physically, far above the average. She was during her whole life a constant and consistent member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church and lived in Christian peace and harmony with all around her, doing many kind acts of Christian benevolence and mercy quietly and unostentatiously. For years she has been resignedly awaiting her end, and now at last she calmly passed over with sure hope of a glorious resurrection and a never-ending life of unalloyed happiness in her Savior’s kingdom of glory. She attained the high old age of 85 years, 9 months and 12 days, and leaves six children; Valentine Zoellner, Mrs. John Coleman, Mrs. Horst and Mrs. Wagner, of this city; Mrs. George Yeachle, of Hamilton; also two step-sons, one at Hamilton, the other at Sandusky. She leaves also a sister in (St. Paul, Minn.), 28 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. The funeral services take place on Friday as follows; 1:30 at the house, 2 at the church (sun time) and will be conducted by the pastor, F.W. Abicht. All friends are cordially invited to attend. ******************************************************** Children of Henry and Anna Catharine nee Buebenheim Zoellner: Elizabeth, wife of Phillip Becker (Baker)---Buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Hamilton, OH Katherine, wife of George Yaekle---Buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Hamilton, OH Matilda, wife of Conrad Wagner---Buried in Oakdale Cemetery, Marysville, OH John Henry, husband of Katherine Asman---Buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Hamilton, OH Valentine, husband of Elizabeth Heddrick---Buried in Oakdale Cemetery, Marysville, OH Margaret, wife of John Adam Coleman---Buried in Oakdale Cemetery, Marysville, OH Catherine, single---Buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Hamilton, OH Martha, wife of Leonhard Kandel---Buried in Oakdale Cemetery, Marysville, OH The two step-sons (sons of Henry and first wife, Elizabeth Theis) were: Henry J., husband of Caroline Held---Buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Hamilton, OH Conrad, husband of Catherine Wagner---Buried in Oakland Cemetery, Sandusky, OH There was another daughter, Margaret Zoellner, wife of Conrad Horst, buried in the Oakdale Cemetery in Marysville.
