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, OH 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.
