Jerrian, Lucy was my 3rd Great Aunt from her Schrunk marriage, and could possibly connect into my Hammond line also. The mother of Lucy's husband, Thomas F. Schrunk, was Josephine Hammond. I've been trying to find a connection between Josephine and Lucy but can find very little information regarding their births or their parents. I have Lucy's obit (shown below), and I think I may have a copy of the register entry for her death in Clayton county (I'll check my files and send you that later). I'd be interested in knowing the source for Lucy being born in Hamburg. Best wishes, Jim Remy +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thursday, 2 November 1911, Guttenberg Press, Osterdock, p4, c3 and 4: Lucy Schrunk, whose maiden name was Hammond [Hamann, Hamman], was born in Germany March 12, 1847. When she was five years of age, her parents came to America. On the way over the mother was taken sick and died soon after landing in New York in May 1853. The father and children located near Garnavillo, Iowa, where Lucy grew to womanhood. She was married to Thomas F. Schrunk Oct. 10, 1868. They began married life on the farm near Osterdock, improved it and built themselves a home and an honorable name. They are the parents of nine children. The [c4] first two born died in infancy. Two sons and five daughters along with their father and eighteen grand children survive to mourn the heavy loss of a beloved, devoted wife and mother and the community a sociable neighbor, a kind friend and a true Christian. Lucy Schrunk united with the reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on June 11, 1893, and she has lived a faithful life as a child of God. She died in the triumph of faith at 5 p. m., Oct. 24, 1911, aged 64 years, 7 months and 12 days. Funeral services were held at Bethel Church near Osterdock, at 10 a. m., Oct. 17, 1911, Elder James McKiernan, of Farmington, Iowa, in charge. Interment in the Bethel cemetery.

His sickness was protracted through about four years of more or less pain, and at times of intense suffering the iron constitution and tenacity to life inherited from his parents, sustained him when many another would have fallen, he bore it all with little complaint. He seemed to have a message which he carried in his heart through all the years and which he was unwilling should die within him, so about twenty four hours before he passed away he told his son W. M. Roberts that when he left his parents for Iowa, he promised them that he would meet them in Heaven and now he was ready to die, those nearest to him noted the change that came over him as he passed peacefully away. The body will rest in the Luana cemetery. Those who especially mourn in their bereavement are his wife, Elizabeth Roberts, one son, W. Roberts of Waterloo, Iowa, one daughter Artelisa J. Russell of Hardin, Iowa, one brother and one sister of Green county, Pa., three grandchildren, Will J. Roberts of Boise, Idaho, Mrs. May Vaughan of Hardin, Iowa, Elba J.

He attended the local school, graduating from Monona High School in June 1909, two weeks before his 16th birthday. The following week he began working as a bookkeeper in the Monona State Bank, the first state chartered bank in Monona which his father founded the year before Pete was born. He spent his active life in the employ of said bank and its successor, lasting for a period of 57 years, eventually attaining the office of president which he held at the time of his retirement in 1965. During most of this time he was also engaged in the insurance and real estate business. After retirement from the bank he kept current his real estate brokers license and accepted an appointment on the Clayton County Board of Tax Review. He was active in civic affairs, serving two terms on the City Council during which time the first large scale street paving project in Monona was completed.

After completing 50 years of such service he was honored with a banquet sponsored by the Clayton County Bankers Association which was attended by more than 50 northeast Iowa bankers and included guests from banks in Dubuque, Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. He was presented with a plaque commending him for 50 years of outstanding service to his community and life membership in both the County and State Bankers Associations were conferred on him. In 1920 he was married to Hazel Kean, a classmate all through grade and high school.

He was always looking on Simeon of the Old. From the lips of this departed borther fell so often the confession, the hymn of praise of Simeon. "Lord, now letteth Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy word, For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people. A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people of Israel." It was John Breitsprecher. John Frederick William Breitsprecher was born in Priemen, Pommerania Germany, on April 12th, 1844. At the age of fourteen years the deceased brother stood before the confirmation altar. Many years he worked hard for his aged parents to make their many burdens of their age light. He was undoubtedly an obedient son of his dear parents. In 1871 the departed brother came to this country of his choice. He married Frederika Breitsprecher, nee Radloff. This union was blessed with seven children. Five preceeded the parents in death. In 1894 he moved on a farm in Floyd county, Iowa, but in 1896 he returned again to his favorite place, Clayton Center. His wife died October 18, 1919. His brother Fred's mortal remains were buried last year nearly at the same time. Our departed brother leaves to mourn his two beloved sons, Fred Breitsprecher of Chicago, Ill., and Albert at Clayton Center, his brother Henry Breitsprecher Sr., Clayton Center and six grandchildren, many relatives good friends.
