A Founding Father of Immanuel/s UCC, Holstein, MO, Johan Heinrich Wilhelm Stienecker/Steneker was born in Ladbergen, Westphalia, Prussia, 11 Oct 1809. He married Anna Sophia Elisabeth Peterjohann (gravestone to right) 22 Jul 1836 in Ladbergen. The couple immigrated to America circa 1837 where their children were born. After his first wife, Sophia nee Peterjohann, died in 1865, he married and he and second wife moved to Iowa. He died 2 December 1886 Garner, Hancock, Iowa.
His obituary in "Der Christliche Apologete," December 1886 follows; copy is in possession of Jane Denny:
Father Wm. Stieneke departed easily and blessed on the 2nd of December 1886. In the last year of his life he lost his strength very quickly; at last he became so weak he wished to depart and be with Christ. This wish is now fulfilled. His end was peaceful. … Fifty years ago he emigrated from Ladbergen, Prussia. His first wife and one child preceded him into blessed eternity. Five children and his second wife, with whom he shared nearly 20 years of a peaceful marriage, are still living. They look to him in faith and hope.
Garner, Iowa. J. J. Spicker.
