Emma L. Eisenbraun of Creighton, South Dakota, died on Saturday, June 26, 1999 at the Good Samaritan Center in New Underwood at the age of 94. Emma Louise Willuweit was born May 22, 1905, in a sod house on their farm near Herrick, South Dakota, the daughter of Ferdinand Albert and Johanna (Kost) Willuweit.

Krenzien, the Lutheran Pastor of Butte, Nebraska. She was confirmed on September 24, 1923, in her home near Creighton, South Dakota, by Rev. T. Kleinhans of Emmanuel Lutheran Church.
