| 12107 | I5942 | Koepf | Eva Catharina "Katie" | 25 Sep 1865 | 15 Jan 1938 | 0 | She was said by Art Peck to be a half sister of Rudolph and Marie Kaiser. Her death certificate showed her as a daughter of Fred Buerk, with her mother's name not listed. The name Fred Buerk may have been in error, as she had an uncle Fred Buerk as well. It could well be that she listed her uncle as her father, as BonnieMargaret Jacobs wrote, on page 162 of her unpublished manuscript about the Benkelman family, that Kate/Katie was raised by Fred Buerk and Catherina Benkelman as if she were their own daughter, who was also named Catherine. To avoid confusion, Katherine Eva was called Kate or Katie, and her elder cousin (by just one month) was called Catherine. Family Search instead shows her as a daughter Christine Buerk and Johannes Koepf, and he was listed as her father on the "Deutschland Geburten und Taufen, 1558-1898", database on FamilySearch. Cass City Chronicle October 3, 1933 A birthday dinner was held Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Striffler in honor of the birthdays of Mrs. Striffler and her sister, Mrs. G.E. Krapf.

She was an only child. Georgiann was born and raised on her family farm ? a mile north of Milligan, NE. She went to school at Milligan Public and graduated in 1944. She worked at the Kottas Drug Store where she served enough ice cream that for a long period of time she couldn't stomach the stuff. Shortly after she worked at the Fairmont and Brunning Air Base where she was a secretary who welcomed and helped deploy the troops during World War II. While there she met the most handsome man she had ever seen and ended up marrying John J. Vohnout on June 12th, 1948. On October 4th, 1965 they had their only son, John F. Vohnout. Instead of bringing flowers like the rest of the new dads, John brought Georgiann three stalks of milo to celebrate the birth of their son and his great crop that year! Georgiann and her husband lived in Lincoln for a short time before they came back to her family farm when her father fell ill and that is where they made their lives for forty-four years, until John's death in 1998. Afterward, Georgiann fell ill with many medical issues but, despite her problems her family and friends helped keep her strong for another nineteen years. During her life, Georgiann enjoyed the perks of farming with her husband, such as taking trips when and where they wanted to, going to many polka dances, and a "small" sideline of BINGO, casinos, and playing poker until the late hours of the morning with family. All the while never falling short of being a great mother, wife, and care taker of her mother. She was truly the least selfish person and always put the needs of her family and friends before her own. Her sense of humor and contagious laugh will so be missed by her son, his wife (the daughter that Georgiann always wanted but never had) and their three daughters. Georgiann was preceded in death by, Fred and Josie Kotas, father and mother, John J. Vohnout, husband all of Milligan, NE.
