William's father was Allen Renner (1846-1920) who was a native of Bureau Co., IL. Allen and John Renner descended from Emanuel Renner (1819-1892), a native of Greene Co., PA who moved westward to Illinois and Iowa. I understand that William's wife was Minnie Anna Herren (1887-1944), a daughter of Charles Herren and Anna Barr. However, at the time of her marriage to William, Minnie was living with a Mrs. Burrows. According to the Plattsmouth Evening Journal of September 27, 1905, Minnie's father went to the local police and county judge to try to prevent the marriage, but he apparently was unsuccessful.

PEOPLES PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING [front page] This morning after an illness covering the past three weeks, Mrs. N.K. PEOPLES passed away at her home in this city, and her passing brings to the sorrowing husband and little children a sense of deep grief in the loss of their loved one. Mrs. Peoples has not been in the best of health for the past several years and had been gradually failing, but it was not until the last three weeks that her condition became critical, and as the days wore on it was evident that she was soon to be taken from the family circle, but during the long period of suffering she bore with fortitude the pain and sickness, hoping that she might live for those whom she loved so dearly and be spared to care for the little ones. Mrs. Peoples during the time she had, made her home in this city , made many friends by her splendid traits of character and her life had been devoted to the family circle and the close friends whom she held so dear. To mourn her death there remains the husband and three small c! hildren, Anna, Norris and Ruth. One brother, J.R. RUMMERFIELD, of this city, is left to share the grief at her death. The body will be taken to Watson, Mo., Friday morning, where it will be laid to rest in the cemetery near the old home where the departed had spent so many happy years. In their hour of grief and sorrow, the family will receive the deepest sympathy of the many friends in the loss that has rendered the home disconsolate. Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, December 4, 1916 FUNERAL OF MRS. N.K. PEOPLES FRIDAY AFTERNOON [front page] The Remains of This Good Lady Were Conveyed to her Old Home at Watson, Mo., for Interment. >From Saturday’s Daily. The funeral of Mrs. N.K. PEOPLES was held yesterday afternoon from the late home where she had been called from just a few brief days ago, and the many friends in the community joined in paying their last tribute of love and respect to the memory of this estimable lady. The body was taken this morning on No. 4 to Pacific Junction, and from there over the Burlington to Watson, Mo., where the interment was made this afternoon. At the home the services were in charge of Rev. T.A. TRUSCOTT, pastor of the Methodist church, with which the departed lady had long been a most faithful and devout member, and the pastor in his remarks brought to the family as sense of resignation in the loss that had been visited upon them. During the services a number of the old familiar hymns were given by a quartet composed of Mrs. Mae MORGAN, Miss Leona BRADY, Jesse PERRY, and Don C. YORK, while Mr. York gave a solo, “He Leadeth Me,” as the minister read the beautiful burial service. The floral remembrances were beautiful and expressed the feelings of regret that the death of this lady has occasioned. Rev. Truscott accompanied the family and the body to Watson for the services there. Ella Adeline RUMMERFIELD was born in Sonora, Atchison county, Missouri, April 28, 1873. She died in Plattsmouth, Neb., November 29, 1916 at the age of 43 years, 7 months and 1 day. She united with the Methodist Episcopal church when she was but 15 years of age and remained a sincere and devoted Christian during her life. She was united in marriage to N.K. PEOPLES at Watson, Mo., on August 10, 1892. To this happy union were born four sons and four daughters. Five of the children God has called home to be with Him. There remain to mourn the loss of the mother but three, Anna Adeline, Norris King, and Ruth Elizabeth. These with the father will surely greatly miss the mother that was always good, and so patient. As mourners, there are but two other near relatives besides the husband and children, they are a brother and a sister of the deceased. The brother is Joseph R. Rummerfield of this city. The sister is Mrs. M.A. HAVENS, who lived in Seneca, Kan. After Mrs. People’s took to her bed, one day she called her husband and told him she thought she was going to die. She said she was not afraid to die but dreaded the ordeal. She made all the necessary arrangements for her own funeral, even directing her husband as to how the children should be dressed. She said she would like to have been spared to raise the children, but she committed them to the care of God and her husband. She advised her husband that he could only raise the children properly by trusting in God. She regretted much that her failing health prevented her from attending church and helping as she would like to do and used to do. Her sweet voice had often been used at funerals to soften the blow to the bereaved and point them to God for comfort. She Rests. She resteth now. Nor more her breast Heaves with its weary breath; Pain sits no longer on the brow Where lies the calm of death. Sunk to her rest like a tired child, She lies in slumber deep, Soft folded in the arms of Him, Who “giveth His beloved sleep.” Nay, doth she rest? Not day nor night She resteth not from praise; Her spirit wing’d with rapture, knows No more earth’s weary ways; But ever toward the Infinite Her flight on, upward, does she keep, For He gives active tirelessness Who giveth His beloved sleep.

Henry ROELOFSZ, my g-grandfather, built a town 3 miles south of Alvo and named it Sunlight. It had a postoffice, grocery store and blacksmith. Sunlight burned to the ground just before the railroad came through. It missed the old site by 3 miles. Hence someone built Alvo. Probably more than anyone cared to know. Thank's Becky, this is great stuff to add to my family history.
