Was known by her second middle name, Cecilia.
Wife of Peter Stieferman. They had 11 children, one of whom is Teresa Stieferman Lippoldt.
"A few notes on the early life of Anna Mary Cecelia Antwieler.
The following is taken from the Stieferman Genealogy provided by her daughter, Sr. Genevieve Stieferman: "Even though this is a Stieferman Genealogy, I feel I must share with her descendants several of the interesting stories about her life before she married Peter. These stories are recalled to me by Aunts Corneal Wiewel, and Sister Mary Aquinas.
"Cecelia's parents were Christopher and Theresa nee Damph Antwieler. They had seven children: Anna Mary Cecelia, William Christopher, John, Catherine, Phillip, Margaret, and Garrett.
"When her father was taking Garrett to church for his baptism, a tragedy occurred. The horses bolted and ran away He tried to restrain them and was dragged along the deeply rutted, frozen ground, and was badly injured. Cecelia's mother would send her and Will to gather herbs to make poultices for their father's wounds. It was winter, and herbs were hard to find, but never-the-less, the children searched diligently. Hoping, by their effort, their father would get well.
"He died as a result of these wounds. On the day of his burial, Cecelia was taken from the cemetery to live with an aunt and uncle in Loose Creek. There was a Catholic school in Loose Creek, and she could prepare for and receive her First Communion there.
"Cecelia's mother later remarried. She had two sons by this marriage. In the meantime, Cecelia was employed in Jefferson City, doing house work. She went back to Stringtown, to visit her mother one day, and found her laying across the bed quite ill. She died several hours later. Cecelia prepared for her, her mother's burial.
"What a brave little woman our Grandmother Stieferman was
"She had spent her busy life being a devoted wife to Peter. a patient and loving mother and grandmother. She was an excellent cook, and expert seamstress and an efficient home manager.
"Her philosophy of life was simple and spiritual and had a great influence on her children and their descendants.
"She told her daughters, "Girls, grow old beautifully, as you are when you're young so you are when you're old." Her suggestion for doing this was for them to start early in their lives to train themselves to be the "Old Person" they wanted to be."
