Minnie was born in Prussia and immigrated with her family in 1849. She married late, at age 29, thus she had a somewhat small family for the time. She was 32 at the birth of her first child and 43 at the birth of her last. According to some family stories, Minnie ruled the roost. She was a strong woman who had faced hardships and was not afraid to face them again. Minnie died in Defiance County, Ohio. Her husband August was very sick with asthma so Minnie's illness crept up without much notice. She was 65. Minnie is buried with her husband and mother in law. Many other members of her family are also buried in the same cemetery.

Willamena Abel was born in Germany August 31, 1828. She emigrated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and was married to August Strübing on their farm south of Hicksville in 1864. She died last Thursday morning after a short Illness and was burried Sunday in the Hicksville cemetery. Her husband, Mr August Strübing, is very ill and on his account a pathetic service in German was held at the house by the Rev. Geo. Harter in the early morning before the family and a number of friends and, at 10:30 services at the Lutheran church.
Mrs. Strübing was one of those industrious women to whose united efforts the community is indebted for its prosperity and without labor like hers for a foundation the deeds of others would never gain prominence.
