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.
