Magdalena, born 6 July, 1835, in Germany, was the daughter of Philip J. Schoenholz and Eva Elizabeth Kaufer. Magdalena married John Yetter on 23 November 1857 in Hennepin, Putnam County, Illinois. They moved to Lee County, IL about 1859, and started their own farm. Family stories say that John, who was very active in the church, would bring home traveling preachers, and Magdalena had to prepare a dinner on short notice. Magdalena died on 29 September, 1899, twenty-six years before her husband, John passed away.
