Mrs. Anna Sullivan received the news this week of the death of her mother, Mrs. Katherine Yonker, at Tecumseh, Oklahoma. Mrs. Yonker was well known here, where for many years she made her home.
She was the daughter of Conrad and Katharine Thomas and was born Sept. 18, 1834 in Gilsa, Kurhessen, Germany. Her parents dying when she was quite young, she stayed with her uncle in Germany about two years. She came to this country in 1851, locating in Germantown, Indiana. Here she formed the aquaintance of John Kibel and they were married in May 1857.
To this union were born six children, two boys and four girls, as follows; Charles F. Kibel of Colorado; George Kibel of Arkansas; Lizzie Reed of Oklahoma; Anna Sullivan and Mary Carter of Atlanta, and Mandie Kibel dying in infancy. They moved from Indiana to Illinois in a wagon in 1864 and located on what is known at present as the Steve Caton farm. Mr. Kibel died Aug. 7, 1868. Mrs. Kibel remained a widow two years and was then united in marriage to John Yonker on Aug. 7, 1870. To this union were born two children, Hubert and Henry Yonker.
She became a member of the church when fifteen years old by uniting with the Lutheran church of Germany. After coming to Illinois she joined the Presbyterian church and later joined the Eminence Christian church and remained a constant follower of Christ until her death.
