Bio
Hauke Jakobs Detmers was born 25 November 1832 in Westermoordorf, Germany at 10:00 P.M., the youngest of twin daughters of Jacob D. and his wife, Gesche Hinrichs (Willers) Detmers. Her elder twin, Berendje, was born at 9 P.M. The girls were both baptized on 2 December at Groothusen, Germany. Hauke married Hangard N. Wilberts on 5 June 1853. They were the parents of four children, three of whom (Trientje (Wilberts) Frohling, Jacob D. Wilberts and Geske "Friedericka" (Wilberts) Hilmer) immigrated to the United States with their families in the 1880s. The youngest daughter, Jantje W. (Wilberts) Luitjens, remained in Germany. Hauke and Hangard divorced. Hauke then married Bernard Zitting on 4 Jul 1869. They were the parents of five children, two of whom died as very young children. Three (all sons) immigrated to the United States with their mother in 1882. They were Cornelius who resided in Illinos, Henry B. and Bernard of Nebraska. On January 6, 1886, while residing with her daughter, Friedericka Hilmer and her family, in rural Platte County, Nebraska, Hauke died and was buried in the Potter's Field section of the Columbus Cemetery with only a plot numbering marker. In 2021, two of her great-great granddaughters from her first marriage (Cleone (Hajek) Olson and Debra (Hilmer) Jahn) had the stone containing her name placed at her grave. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
