	Left to right they are: Ann Marie, mother Katharina nee Weber, Maria Kirstina, father Henri Peter and Marie Katherine. ...this would have to be earlier 80's as Henri died in 1886. I know Grandpa Sam said it was while they were farming near Hillsboro Kansas. But the parents (Henri and Catharina) lived in Lehigh from 1876 until 1909-10, when Catharina went to College View Nebraska. Marjorie Nixon 19 Dec 2008	Henri P. Lorenz	19 Dec 2008

	Mother was brought up in the Mennonite Brethren faith and then after becoming an Adventist, was even more fervent in her strict beliefs. She followed the churches teachings to the letter and was perhaps too zealous, though well meaning. One of Anna's dreams was to have a proper church, meetings were being held in homes. There were quite a few Adventist families in the area - the Peters, Schultz and Funks, were some of the names. Being of a very determined nature she went to work raising money and getting building materials donated until at last her dream was realized and a little white church was built on two acres of donated land. It was here in the churchyard that mother was buried eight years later.	Anna Unruh	15 Dec 2008
