Hanna Justine Louisa (Louise) Brennecke

 

We are indebted to Charles Meyer, his wife Hazel, and the Neumeyer Family History for most of the Louisa Brennecke family information.

Louisa was born Oct. 8, 1837 in Sebexen, Kingdom of Hanover. She died Feb. 10, 1899 and is buried in Kinder Cemetery at Hornsby, Illinois.

Louisa married Henry Meyer, who was born Feb. 2, 1828 and died Apr. 28, 1900. He is also buried in Kinder Cemetery at Hornsby, IL. According to Charles Meyer, Henry Meyer's parents lived northwest of Gordonville on the Herman Hoffmeister farm. Henry Meyer's father is buried near or on the present county road that leads by there. There is no grave marker. Charles said that in Kinder Cemetery, beside the graves of Louisa and Henry, is the tombstone of Elizabeth Meyer who died June 4, 1878. Charles thinks Elizabeth was Henry Meyer's mother.

Louisa and Henry Meyer moved to the Litchfield, Illinois area early in their marriage. They were farmers there.

Louisa and Henry Meyer's descendants are scattered over a wide area. Therefore, parts of the Meyer family records are incomplete. Perhaps some Brennecke descendant will do additional research on this branch.
