At age 17 he came to America and settled near Westboro, Missouri. He married Louise Blankenmeier here on May 10, 1900. They moved to a farm near Farragut, Iowa and in 1903 to Nance County, Nebraska and settled on a farm near Timber Creek. His wife died April 08, 1912. The last 15 years of his life he lived with his daughter, Mrs. George (Hilda) Ahlers. He died at Fullerton Memorial Hospital. He is survived by his children, Helen Sunderman, Bockmann, Rebhuhn, Irene Koch and Alma Walters all of Iowa. He is also survived by his children, Hilda Ahlers and Adolf Sunderman, of Nebraska. He was buried in the cemetery at Peace Lutheran church in Timber Creek, Nebraska. (In my research, I have found several variations on his name as well as the spellings of his and Louise's last name.) If this is a member of your family and you have more information, I would like to hear from you. Thank you, Charlene Eichel: alsec@msn.com

Christofer Karl David Blankemeier was born at Belm, Germany December 22, 1872. In infancy he was baptized into the Name of the Triune God by Rev. Meier. He was confirmed in the Lutheran Church at Achelriede, Germany when he was 14 years old. In 1888, when he was sixteen years old, he came to America and settled in Atchison County, Missouri. During the time he lived there he was joined in Holy Matrimony to Rieka Bierman in the year 1897. This union was blessed with three daughters. They came to Timber Creek, Nebraska in the year 1903, where they have since lived. Mr. Blankemeier had been sick for the past six or seven years. He became worse last Christmas and was failing rapidly until he answered the summons of his Heavenly Father early Saturday morning, May 18, having reached the age of 67 years, 4 months, and 25 days. He is survived by his wife; three daughter, Mrs. Fred Schroeder, of Vilisca, Iowa, Mrs. Ed Cleveland and Mrs. John Oltmanns, Jr., both of Belgrade, Nebraska; two sisters, Mrs. Louie Krome, of Westboro, Missouri and Mrs. Gust Luedtke, of Omaha, Nebraska; fourteen grandchildren and many friends. Mr. Blankemeier was always a great hand with children and took charge of the Sunday school at Redwing school several years before the church was built. He was always interested in the affairs of the church and was deacon for a number of years. (I believe the year he died was 1939.) Charlene Eichel: alsec@msn.com
