Bio

PERSONALS NOTES: (Note: Steintje married for a second time and the 1910 census finds the family living in Minnesota.. The weird thing is that all of Steintje and Siebes children are listed with the surname of Fisser -- Steintje's second husband's last name. Per a telephone conversation with Lorenz's daughter... the boys didn't like their step father and ran him off. The 1920 census finds Steintje and her children still residing in Minnesota but all using the surname Weiland again. Lorenz told his daughter, that the family lost the farm they were living on back in Iowa during the depression.) (Per a volunteer researcher in Germany... there was no Titterburg as listed in the obituary below. It was Victorbur). Taped inside the cover of Hillane S. Weiland's Bible, which I have in my possession. Obituary of Steintje Weiland Death of Mrs. S. Weiland at Allison, Iowa Word was received here Saturday that Mrs. S.
