The first line about Mrs. Naber and son: That was our grandmother Maggie's mom, Elizabeth, and brother, John. (It still surprises me to find diverse relatives in the Buckman News!)
The party held at Ignatz Ronellenfitch's farm (first place south of the Janson farm) is interesting too. Everyone who read that would have known that (my g-grandpa) Joe Janson had died two days earlier, and that the Jansons and Ronellenfitchs were relatives from the same town in Germany...so loosing Joe made celebrating a bit harder. Still, that set of guests insured SOME merriment.
Lastly, "J. B. Brander was a visitor at the home of Joe Janson Sunday." Was J.B. Brander the parish priest? Maybe Math was implying that he visited as a family friend rather than the pastor, huh? I suppose they would have been making funeral arrangements that night...
