No proof, only a gut feeling. She is mentioned in his will as Elizabeth Troener in Phillips County Arkansas. Also mentioned are the following: Anna Jacobsmeier Aviston, Clinton County, Illinois Theresia Bohn St. Louis MO Elizabeth Troener Helena, Phillips County, Arkansas Henry Witmer Piqua, Woodson County, Kansas John Jacobsmeier New Orleans, LA Theresia Wehkamp Piqua, Woodson County, Kansas (Mrs. Herman Wehkamp) Margaret Schonhoff Woodson County, Kansas Mary Berkamp Sedwick County, Kansas George & Henry Reike Johnson County, Illinois In his will he named Mary Jacobsmeier as his executor. His will is dated May 4, 1897, in the city of St. Rose. Maybe someone will recognize some of these names. Thanks for your help. Joe Trainer
