Mrs. Dorothea Mangelsdorf Beurmann was born in Arnim, Germany, on July 4, 1843, to parents Joachim Christoph Mangelsdorff and Anna Dorothea (Zander) Mangelsdorff. Dorothea Beurmann passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sophie Agle, 421 Illinois Street, on February 15, 1937, at the age of 93 years.
Her husband, the late Louis Beurman died in 1915 at their farm near Lake View. They were married March 5, 1861, in Hermann, Missouri.
In 1857, with her mother, Anna Dorothea (Zander) Mangelsdorff Stehwien and step-father Andreas Stehwien, she emigrated to the United States, with several other German families who left the Fatherland to make their future home in the land of opportunity. The family traveled on a sailing vessel, which was storm-tossed for nearly ten weeks, finally landing at New Orleans. From there they sailed on a steam-boat for St. Louis. En route they learned of a thriving German settlement at Hermann, Missouri, and decided to continue their journey by boat to Hermann.
When the Civil War broke out, Mr. Beurman served thruout the conflict. Following the war, Mr. and Mrs. Beurman with their two small children moved to Lawrence, Kansas and bought a farm northeast of Lake View. It was here that seven of their children were born and reared. A flood had inundated their homestead and they purchased land a few miles south of the river and the place became known as Beurman's Lake. In 1911 Mr. and Mrs. Beurman celebrated their golden anniversary. At the time they were not yet blessed with any grandchildren, but Mrs. Beurman lived to enjoy four grandchildren and saw them graduate from the Lawrence High School, and two graduated from the University.
