Christian Niemeyer's first wife's father, John Amerland was one of the first to be buried in St Peter's cemetery. John's stone is north of Dorothea Thies Amerlund Wilkening's stone. Her marriage to Conrad Wilkening in the church records called her ' wider Amerlund'. I have a picture of Dorothea with six of her children with Conrad. She and Conrad are also buried in St Peter's cemetery. I also have a copy of her funeral costs....6 pr gloves..75 cents, casket $75, rough box $3..etc from J Hattendorf Merchandise...."undertaking a specialty". I just love these old bills. Dolores (Rohde) Wilkening
