Name found as Adelheid Regina Rhomberg in Austrian records.

Adele was a foster mother for her nephew Ernest Rhomberg.

The following is Adele's obituary from the 'Warrenton Banner', which combined with the Austrian web site 'Lexikondornbirn.at' were the two best pieces of information I had to put together Anton Rhomberg's family in America:

Mrs. Adele R. Wigglesworth, nee Rhomberg, departed this life at St louis, February 17, 1933 after an illness brought about by an automobile accident while she was on a visit with relatives in California. She did not think her injury at all serious, until complications set in, which necessitated an operation, performed at St. Luke's Hospital in August 1932. She never seemed to regain her health.
The funeral services were held Monday, Feb 20th in the Catholic Church at Truesdale by Father Canning of that church and Father McAfee of St. Louis. Interment took place in the family lot in the Catholic cemetery, where her parents and her husband are buried. The pall-bearers were Joseph Gunther, Edward Gunther, William Barter, Mack Mitchell, Homer Canterbury and Elmer Rickenberg, all of St. Louis.
Mrs. Wigglesworth was born in Tyrol Austria, November 2nd 1870, and came to this country with her parents in 1882. Shortly thereafter her parents moved on a farm east of Truesdale and she lived there with her father (her mother died in 1893) until 1896. She was married to John M Wigglesworth October 23, 1904, and lived for many years in Dallas, Texas. In 1915 she and her husband and foster son, Ernest Rhomberg came to St. Louis to reside where they lived until the death of Mr. Wigglesworth, who passed away February 11th 1932. He was buried in the Catholic cemetery at Truesdale and it was her wish to be buried at his side.
She leaves to mourn her departure a foster son, Ernest Rhomberg, her twin sister, Mrs Josephine von Reppert and her brother Fred Rhomberg and the following half-brother and sisters: Frank Rhomberg of Chicago Ill; Anselm Rhomberg of Placerville, Calif; Edmund Rhomberg of St Louis county; Mrs Bertha Krum of Washington D.C; Mrs Mary Dobsch of Dallas, Texas; Mrs Minnie Anderson of Calexico, Calif., and Mrs Freda Hodel of near Pendleton and many nieces and nephews.
Besides many of her old school friends and neighbors of Warrenton the following accompanied the funeral from St. Louis; Ernest Rhomberg, Mr. and Mrs. Kurt von Reppert, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rhomberg, Miss Mildred Rhomberg, Miss Adele Rhomberg, Ed Rhomberg and children, Miss Carolyn Rhomberg, Frank Rhomberg, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Rhomberg, Carl and Adolph Rhomberg, Mr. and Mrs. Birkenkamp, Miss Mary McShane, Mrs. John Klepker; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Tenne Mr. and Mrs. Ed Keller and Mrs Carl Miller and Miss Olga von Reppert.
