Obituary for Margaretha Meinert Zornig as in the paper 5 February 1914.

Last week noted the passing of another of Keystone's most estimable mothers and one of Benton County's early pioneers, Mrs. Frederick W. Zornig, who died at her home here after an illness of but a fewdays. Margaretha Marie Cecile Meinert was born in Marne, Holstein, Germany on 11 April 1843 and died at Keystone on Saturday 31 January, aged 70 years, 9 months and 20 days. With her parents she came to America in 1865 settling in Davenport and the same year was united in marriage to Fred W. Zornig. The following year the young couple moved to Benton County and had been a resident of this county up to the day of her death. They settled on a farm south of Keystone and this was their residence until 1892 when they retired from farm life and took up their residence in Keystone. To Mr. and Mrs. Zornig were born 14 children, seven of whom survive the mother. Besides the husband and three sisters, one of the brothers and the three sisters still live in Germany. The children are Mrs. George Weiss of Elberon, Mrs. Jack Fretters of Oakland, California, Mrs Otto Fink of Davenport, Mrs. H.N. Jammer of Keystone, Mrs. Peter Wiese of Elberon and Messers. John and Fred Zornig, residing here.All the children except Mrs. Fretters were present at the funeral which was held yesterday. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in Keystone. It is estimated that nearly 400 friends gatheredat the Turner Hall to pay their last respects to one so universally respected by all. The services were in charge of by Rev. Christianson of Dysart and internment was in the Keystone Cemetery.[ZornigFamily.FTW]
