    Notes:

    Celia Crawford has the Dutchy of Braunschweig journeyman's book for journeyman miller Heinrich August Joachim Wunnenberg from Calvorde and has its translation to English. He is described as follows: Name: Heinr. August Joachim Wunnenberg. Born in, residing at: Calvorde. Age: 23 years. Height: 5 feet, 4 inches. Hair: dark blond. Forehead: covered. Eyebrows: dark brown. Eyes: gray. Nose, mouth: usual. Beard: dark brown. Chin: round. Face: oval. Complexion: healthy. Distinguishing characteristics: lacking.
    It certifies that he has pursued the miller's trade for several years, partly as an apprentice and partly as a journeyman, and has behaved irreproachably during this time, also processes proven skill in his trade and, as far is known, leaves behind no debt. It is dated 12 June 1844, signed and sealed by the Ducal government office of Braunschweig Luneburg, W. Bode. Introductory pages remind the bearer of proper conduct. It records his travels through several cities, beginning 21 June 1844 until 14 July 1847.
    There is also a handwritten note: "My little Heinrich was born on 3rd of September 1854 at 5:30 o'clock in the evening. On the 6th of August 1856 little Wilhelm was born, and died on the 7th of October, aged 8 weeks and 6 days.

    H. Wunnenberg died suddenly.
    Funeral Tuesday afternoon at the Latty Church.
    Henry Wunnenberg died at his home near Sperry Saturday morning, March 10, 1934. He did not get up when breakfast was ready and on going to his room it was found he had passed away.
    Mr. Wunnenberg started to Mediapolis in his car Friday morning and when some distance from his home his car skidded and turned over, damaging the car considerably, but he did not appear to be much injured, but the shock was probably what hastened his death.
    The remains were brought here to the Fry Funeral Parlors. The funeral will be held Tuesday at 1:30 o’clock at the Latty church.

    Notes:

    Committed suicide
    Miss Elis Wunnenberg, housekeeper for Grover Ream, committed suicide Tuesday night by drinking carbolic acid. The act was committed at 10:30 o’clock, and she died at 12:05. Drs. Brock of Oakville, and Browning of Mediapolis, were called, but neither arrived in time to give relief, as death came a few moments after their arrival. No reason for the act is known. Her parent are Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wunnenberg, who lived 6 miles southwest of Kingston.
    The Oakville Sentinel, Oakville, Iowa. 14 March 1918.


    Girl swallows acid and dies
    Miss Elsie Wunnenberg of Oakville thought victim of mistake.
    Oakville, Ia., March 14. – (Special.) – Miss Elsie Wunnenberg, a domestic in the home of Grover Ream, five miles south of Oakville, drank an ounce of carbolic acid Monday evening and died with three-quarters of an hour after taking the drought. Her parents live near Sperry, Ia.
    It is not believed that it was intentional, as she had shown no cause or reason for being tired of life.
    Dr. Brock of Oakville was called and reached the home as soon as possible, but she was past medical aid. She had poured the acid out of a bottle into a glass and drank it. The bottle bore the label of a Burlington physician and had “Use as directed written on the label. There was no poison label on it. Miss Wunnenberg was about 22 years of age.

When she was a year old the family moved to Morning Sun to reside. Here she was reared, attended Sabbath school and church and when young professed her faith in Christ and united with the Presbyterian church. She attended the local public school, graduating in the class of 1936. Though she was handicapped by frail health she graduated with honors. After finishing the high school course she took nurse’s training at Mercy hospital in Burlington. When in her second year training she was compelled to return home because of ill health. Though ill for several months she made such recovery of health and strength that she gave promise of a happy, useful life.
    On August 1, 1939, she was happily married to William Austin Dwinell of Columbus Junction. He was serving in the U.S. navy, being located at present with the U.S.S. Wright at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Islands. It was their plan that she would soon join him and they would make their home at San Diego, Cal. Because of distance and other circumstances he was unable to return for the last rights. Recently Mrs. Dwinell contracted a severe cold which developed into pneumonia, from which she could not recover despite medical skill and tender nursing.
    Besides her devoted husband she is survived by her parents, her Grandmother Ruppurt of Iowa City, and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Wunnenberg of Mediapolis, and by several uncles, aunts and cousins. Possessing a cheerful spirit she radiated cheer to those about her and had many warm friends. They sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved family and other relatives in their hour of sorrow.
