Notes

Annie Osterbuhr

Antje aka "Annie" was born to Ehme Cobus Janssen Osterbuhr and Rixte Onnen Fockenga in Timmell, Lower Saxony, Germany. Annie's date of birth here is per her Timmel baptism record in the Lutheran Parish for Hanover, which is identical to the date of birth listed on her Hanover marriage record 24 years later.

Her family were Frisians, a very old Northern European ethnic group living in Northwest Germany and the Netherlands. They were Lutheran farmers whose ancestral lines trace as far back as the mid-15th Century in Timmel and other Ostfriesische towns surrounding Aurich near the North Sea coastline of today's extreme northwest Germany.

Annie married on 28 Apr 1860 in Hanover to Dirk Heÿen Eilers, also a Frisian native of Timmel. Annie was his second wife. The couple came to Champaign County, Illinois in 1875 with their five children and settled in Royal near other Frisian immigrants, where they farmed. Annie was widowed in 1894 and lived the rest of her life in the home of her daughter Almuth Eilers Raup in Rantoul. Annie died there in 1925.
