Confirmation and Marriage Certificates

April 8, 2022 by Lloyd Jr. 2 Comments

My mom sent these to me and told me to put them on the website. Since you have to do what your mom tells you to do, here they are:

I think Aunt Cleo decoupaged these several decades ago. Were they hanging on the wall in the dining room in grandma’s house? Here’s the PDF document that my mom sent to me if you need a night quality print. Bonus points is anyone wants to translate them for us.

Nebraska Sommerers Family Tree

June 6, 2020 by Lloyd Jr. 2 Comments

I posted this image on Facebook to show Becky how Steve Shultz is related to us after Steve replied to the Heit’s Point Reunion post. Aunt Cleo said that she couldn’t read it, which is not surprising considering I wrote it and I can barely read it even when it is right in front of me. So I created the version at the end of this post for Aunt Cleo.

We wrote this down to keep track of the people we met at the Nebraska Sommerer Reunion.

These are not the only Sommerers who came from Honey Creek to Nebraska in the 1800s. But I don’t have any information on Katherina Maria Sommerer (Adolph Sommerer’s Aunt) other than she married Simon Kerl (noted author and such) and then, after he died, she married his half brother, Marcus Kerl. I think they only lived in Nebraska for a short time, but deeded 40 acres of land to build a Lutheran church. Maybe one of you knows more of this story.

That church in Nebraska was attended by another of Adolph Sommerer’s aunts, Anna Sommerer. Anna married Otto Uehling (son of Theodore Uehling for whom the town of Uehling Nebraska is named). Here’s some interesting reading about that church. Otto is named in a case concerning the church which went before the Nebraska Supreme Court in 1897. I had a hard time following the particulars. Maybe Greg or Tracy can tell us what it says.

So, three of Adolph Sommerer’s five aunts and uncles who survived to adulthood moved to Nebraska.

Okay, without further adieu (is that the right word?) here is the Nebraska Sommerers Family Tree (click on the image to make it large enough to squint at; then click on it again enlarge some more):

And here’s the disclaimer: I know that this isn’t complete. There are any number of people under the age of 50 who should be at the bottom of the tree who are missing. And there are whole branches that are missing. I’m pretty sure that Aurelia Emelia Sommerer has a whole family that I don’t know anything about. And even some of the branches that are started, like Carmon Johanna Olive Sommerer, have people I know are missing. But I’ve never met any of those people. This was mostly made so that we could see how the Nebraska Sommerers fit together. And to brush up on names before their Family Reunion.

Maybe Aunt Cleo has more information that we could use to fill this in.

Logan is doing well in the Army!

August 27, 2019 by Christina Rowland 4 Comments

Randee sent me these pictures this morning.  Apparently Logan is doing well in training!

Randee said, “Logan has earned the spot of team leader for his three field tests.  He also scored in the top eight of his group on an exam, which earned him a reward phone call home.  He will graduate October 18th.”

We’re so proud of this young man!

Carolyn Jean isn’t doing well.

February 17, 2016 by Aunt Lolly 4 Comments

Aunt Lolly sent this to me yesterday:

David Schlichtmann called this morning to let us know that Carolyn Jean is in St. Mary’s hospital.  She fell at home, and they have been doing all kinds of tests to find out the trouble, but have found none so far.  They think it may be her kidneys, and the cancer. She is in room 310.  I ask David if I could contact you about putting this information on the family web site. He said I could. For now just say(Carolyn Jean is not doing well, and prayers for her are requested.)

I can’t find an address for St. Mary’s hospital, new address, but I know it’s on Mission  Drive,  I’m sure she would enjoy card’s.
