Burial information is from the church's cemetery records. There is no grave marker.
Spelling of last name in church records is Brehmer

Wife of Louis/Lutje Bremer
Daughter of Christian and Mina Richter

Died giving birth to stillborn son. Son is buried with Wilhelmine.

Sailed to USA on the Pommerania - left Hamburg 29 April 1874, landed in NY 13 May 1874

From son John Bremer's obituary - Wilhelmine had 12 children - 10 of whom are known.
William Bremer (1871-1936)
Louisa "Lizzy" Bremer-Freiermuth-Lofgren (1872-1933)
Anna Dorthea Margaret Bremer (1874-1874)
John Bremer (1875-1962)
Mina M. Bremer-Gerdes (1877-1958)
Lui Bremer (1880-1881)
Maria D. Bremer-Cunnien (1881-1955)
Dora Bremer (1883-1906)
Emma Bremer-Parker-Harter (1885-1982)
Stillborn son (1888-1888)

Given that a new baby arrived every 14 to 20 months, it is my guess that a child was born or still born after Mina and before Lui and that another child was born or still born after Emma and before the still born son in February 1888
