St. Ansgar Enterprise January 1912
Mrs. Emma (Miller) Dreher, wife of Reinhold Dreher, of Carpenter, Iowa , died
January 24, 1912 at the age of 71 years, 8 months and 7 days. She was born in
the city of Hamburg, Germany May 17, 1840. There she grew to womanhood and on
the 18th of October 1859, more than fifty three years ago, she was united in
marriage to Reinhold Dreher, who survives her. Four years later they decided
to seek their fortune in the new world, and so they came to the city of New
York which continued to be their home for six years. They came west and
settled in Mitchell County, Iowa, in 1869 and that ever after remained their
home, the larger part of the time residing on their farm southwest of St.
Ansgar. However a few years ago they retired from their farm and went to live
in Carpenter. Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Dreher, six sons and
six daughters; all are living with the exception of Emma, who died about 25
years ago at the age of 12 years. Those who are living are Mrs. Augusta Weber
and R.W. Dreher of Mason City, IA., Mrs. Minnie Connors of Nora Springs, Ia.,
