Note: First marriage to Johann Conrad Wilhelm Heumann, October 8, 1869 in Femme Osage, St. Charles CO, MO. Three children born of the union. Conrad died April 11, 1874. He is buried across the highway from the Femme Osage UCC in an old cemetery. The stone is in bad shape. Second marriage to Wilhelm Jungkes (many spelling variations have turned up for this surname in the reference documents), April 8, 1875 in Femme Osage, St. Charles CO, MO. Two children were born of this union. Wilhelm died about 1878. The children were: -Henry Heumann b: Abt. 1871 d: February 1889 -Anna Christine Heumann b: September 12, 1872 in Femme Osage, St. Charles CO, MO d: July 19, 1968 in Marthasville, Warren CO, MO + Gustav Mittler b: March 14, 1875 d: February 15, 1934 in Marthasville, Warren CO, MO -Unknown Heumann d: April 9, 1874 -Ida M. Jungkes b. Abt. 1876 + Otto H. Hinnah b. Abt. 1868 in MO m: October 6, 1897 in Marthasville, Warren CO, MO d: January 12, 1909 in Dutzow, Warren CO, MO -August Jungkes b: Abt 1878 d: Bef. 1909 in Dutzow, Warren CO, MO See Appendix C. So, John and Lisette were an example of "yours, mine, and ours". Each having lost two previous spouses, they set about the task of raising a house full of children. Lisette had two brothers and two sisters with unknown birth dates: Frederick, Hermann, Cathrina, and Christine. Nothing is known about the brothers. Cathrina married Wilhelm Hindersmann who not only sponsored the baptism of one of Lisette and John's children (Armin Wilhelm Johann Riefenberg), but was also an ordained minister. Christine married Heinrich Br�nstrup (Broenstrup). They may have had as many as 11 children. One of their children, a daughter, Amanda C. Josephine Br�nstrup, married George Niendick and they had at least three children. The Br�nstrups turn up in Lexington, MO. There are several connections to this western Missouri location with other children of John and Lisette. I remember my Father mentioning an Eddie Potter, whom dad referred to as a cousin (actually a step relationship), living in St. Charles in the 1960's. I do not have more information on him, but he may have descended from either Frederick or Hermann. I believe only 3 of John Henry Riefenberg's children with Lisette lived to adulthood. Edwin may have left the area before he would have appeared on the 1900 census, but he is not mentioned in the obituary of John Henry Riefenberg
