West Bend Pilot, April 2, 1913:

Mrs. Caroline Niemann, nee Goosmann, whose death on March
25 we chronicled briefly in our issue of last week, was born in
Mecklenburg, Germany on Sept 25, 1825.  On August 28, 1854, 
she married Joachim Niemann, and the same year the couple
left for America, landing in West Bend on Oct 26.  They
immediately established their home here and continued their
residence in West Bend until death claimed them.  Mr. Niemann's
death occurring on April 8, 1888.  Their union was blessed with
eleven children, seven of whom died in infancy and the youngest,
Mrs. S.W. Classey, passed away on Jan 7, 1894.  Those surviving
are Louis of Milwaukee, Herman of Philippa, and Bertha (Mrs.
Peter Felten) at the old home in this city.  The deceased is also
Survived by eight grand-children and four great-grandchildren.
The funeral was held last Friday afternoon under the auspices of
The English M. E. Church, Rev. A. Hoad officiating.  Interment
being made in Union Cemetery.  Mrs. Niemann was one of the
city's sterling women, one who lived through the pioneer days
with true christian fortitude.  She was a kind and loving wife and
mother, and during her long residence in this city, enjoyed the
highest esteem of all of her neighbors and friends.  She lived a
long and useful life and is entitled to the peaceful rest so justly
due her and all who have lived as well.  To her bereaved children
we extend our heartfelt sympathy.  The following attended the
funeral:  Mr. and Mrs. Louis Niemann, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Miller and
daughter Mildred, Mr. and Mrs. V. Classey and son Robert, George
Oscar and Miss Cora Niemann of Milwaukee, Hermann Niemann
and daughter Hattie of Philippa, Mrs. H. Friedrich and Mrs. Sophia
Hurley of Winona, Minn.
