1862 - Mrs. John Kundel - 1932
Dora Rohwer was born January 6, 1862, at Jebenstedt, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Her parents were Claus Rohwer and Franken Bock Rohwer. She was baptized in the Lutheran faith when a child and at the age of three years came with her parents to Wolcott, Iowa.
February 25, 1882, she was united in marriage to John Kundel. To this union seven children were born, Mrs. L. E. Eichner of Chippewa Falls, Wis., Mrs. B. A. Schierholz of Onida, S. Dak., Mrs. J. W. Mugge of Sutherland, Ia., Lulu Kundel of Des Moines, J. C. Kundel of Spencer, Ia., Mrs. E. S. Pickett of Los Angeles, California, and Roy Kundel of Lake City, South Dakota.
Mrs. Kundel was the eldest of a large family, all but one of whom survive her, John Rohwer of Grundy Center, Ia., Mrs. Vena Ballhorn of Garwin, Iowa, Mrs. Carrie Schimmer of Calumet, Iowa, Mrs. Katie Kensinger of Los Angeles, Calif., Mrs. Celia Cartensen of Pipestone, Minn., George Rohwer of Waverly, Iowa, Mrs. Annie Arp of Lincoln, Iowa, and Henry Rohwer of Garwin, Iowa. One brother, Herman Rohwer, preceded Mrs. Kundel in death over two years ago.
Mrs. Kundel leaves to mourn her passing, her husband, her children, her brothers and sisters, fifteen grandchildren and two great grandchildren, and a host of friends and neighbors.
Mr. and Mrs. Kundel have resided in Sutherland since 1918 when they moved in from the farm. They came to O'Brien county from Gladbrook in 1894.
Mrs. Kundel was a member of the Zion Evangelical church and Ladies Aid society at Calumet and also a member of the Ladies Aid of the M. E. church at Sutherland.
Her life was filled with a deep settled peace, hers not to worry. She lived cheerfully, courageously, carefully knowing that her health was far from rugged. Her going was quiet and without delay, and she was not for God took her.
