     Dorothea A. Meyer was born on 18 April 1850 at Hannover, Germany.^1,2 She was the daughter of Heinrich Meyer and Anna Dorothea Ritz. Dorothea A. Meyer married Edward Brenneisen, son of Johann Jacob Brenneisen and Anna Maria Bühler, on 17 October 1873 at Benton Co., IA, seven children born to the marriage, five living as of 1900 census.² Dorothea A.

She was buried in February 1923 at St. Peter Lutheran Church Cemetery, Riceville, Mitchell Co., IA.

     E. Katherine Meyer was also known as Katherine Brenneisen.
Note: In the 1870 census, Katherine appears in the Henry and Dora (Ritz) Meyer family, Monroe Twp., Benton County, Iowa, at the bottom of the list of children. Dora Meyer was then 49 years of age, and there was a gap of 5 years to the next youngest, child, Charles Meyer, age 6. Dorothea, listed as "Doras", was then age 20. The family apparently relocated from Illinois to Iowa in the year following the birth of Katherine.

In the 1880 census, Katherine, age 11, was listed as a daughter of Edward and Dorothea (Meyer) Brenneisen -- the parental birth locations matched for all the children of Edward Brenneisen.

The Henry and Dora Meyer family are not found in the 1880 census -- a Dora Meyer, mother of Sophia (Meyer) Helm, in Whiteside County, Illinois could be the same person as the wife of Henry Meyer -- the age is within one year of a match, and the birthplace is listed as "Hannover" in both cases. That Sophia Meyer is listed in the 1870 census as a servant in the Frederick Konger/Kanger household in Clayton County, Iowa.

Given the date of the marriage of Edward and Dorothea Meyer, over four years after the birth of Katherine, there are several possibilities, regarding Katherine's biological parents. If she was actually a full sister to Dorothea (b.1850) there seems no reason why she needed to be presented to the census enumerator as a daughter of Edward and Dorothea in 1880. Her mother probably was Dorothea Meyer (b.1850), but her father was not likely Edward Brenneisen, given the 1869 geography and the years later marriage date. DLB 2012.

She was born in March 1869 at Illinois.¹ She was the daughter of Dorothea A. Meyer. E. Katherine Meyer married Frank Young circa 1893.² E.
