More News of the NABER-hood

Yesterday, I heard from a relative named Bonnie**(see post on Nov 10), who has Gerhard Naber in common with us:  if you recall, Gerhard was married twice to women named Elizabeth.  Bonnie's descended from the first Elizabeth's family, and we're descended from the second.
The first batch was Herman, Bernard, Henry, and Mary Anna.  Henry was Ida & Walburga's dad....but Herman was Bonnie's connection, quote:

--Herman Naber was born Mar 6, 1861 New Vienna, Delaware Co, Iowa, and died Feb. 15, 1928 in Randolph, Cedar Co., Nebraska.  Herman Naber married Anna Trapp Feb 10, 1897 in St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Granville, Sioux Co, Iowa. They lived at or near Bancroft, Iowa, for about 7 years, then moved to Randolph, Nebraska.  Herman died from burns due to a house fire.  They lost their home and everything in the fire.  He's buried at St. Frances de Chantal Cemetery in Randolph.

--Herman's sister Mary Anna Naber was born Jan. 25, 1868 in Petersburg, Delaware Co, Iowa. She died April 7, 1945 in Granville, Sioux Co, Iowa, and is buried at St. Joseph Cemetery in Granville. She married John Schlichte May 26, 1891 in Petersburg, Iowa. They had 5 children: Katherine, Anna, Edward, Joseph, & Clara.

(Note--Mary Anna Naber Schlichte died on the 7th of April, and her half-sister Margaret Naber Janson died on the 11th of April, 1945--did Grandma know?)


 Anna Trapp, daughter of Mathias & Katherine (Thelen) Trapp, was born July 10, 1874 SW of Columbus, Polk Co, Nebraska. The Trapp family moved to Granville, Iowa about 1882. Anna died June 30, 1956 at Coleridge, Cedar Co, Nebraska and is buried at St. Frances de Chantal Cemetery in Randolph, Nebraska.

Herman and Anna had 6 children: Katherine, Helen (aka Lena), Henry, Leo, Clara, & Joseph. Only Lena & Clara married and each had 2 girls.

Bonnie's grandmother was a Trapp. She married and had 13 children, one of whom was Bonnie's mother....so THAT'S how she fits.
Thanks, Bonnie!
