JOHANNES--Mrs. Anna Johannes, 72, of Platte Center, died at 11:40 p.m. yesterday at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sjuts, of Cornlea, following a long illness. She had been in ill health the last seven years suffering with anemia, and she was bedfast for the last two months.
As Miss Anna Brakenhoff, she was born on Oct. 1, 1865, in a little village in Germany. At an early age she was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith, of which she was a devout member. When she was 17 years of age, her parents brought her to this country, and their first home was at Nokomis, Ill.
She remained there for many years with her parents, but in the late 90's she decided to come to Nebraska to reside with a brother, Eilert, who was living in St. John's neighborhood northwest of Columbus. Here she met Henry Johannes, to whom she was married Sept. 17, 1897. They made their home on his farm until 1914, when they retired and moved to Platte Center. Mr. Johannes died May 16, 1932, and Mrs. Johannes lived alone for a short time and after that made her home with her daughters.
When they resided in St. John's neighborhood she was a member of the St. John's church, and after moving to Platte Center, she became a member of the Zion Lutheran church, four miles west of Platte Center.
She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Chris Peterson of Platte Center, Mrs. John Rippen of New Braunfels, Tex., and Mrs. Henry Sjuts of Cornlea; four step-sons, William Johannes of Leigh, Otto Johannes of Richland, Henry Johannes of Columbus and Herman Johannes of Platte Center; one step-daughter, Mrs. Fred Griepentrog of Lindsay, and eight grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the Chris Peterson home three miles west of Platte Center, and at 2:30 p.m. at St. John's Lutheran church, 16 miles northwest of Columbus. Rev. A. D. Holm will officiate. Burial will be made in the cemetery near the church. The body will be taken to the Peterson home tomorrow afternoon from the McKown Funeral home
