Near Andrew and Anna's stone are three children's graves: George, Charlie and Annie. Annie could be the baby Maria Anna listed in the family Bible page, and George and Charlie could have been born in 1866 and 1875, filling in the blank spaces in the list of children's births. Obituary ANNA JESSE BOSSERT Mrs. Ann Bossert of Cassville, Wisconsin, was born in Germany, September 8, 1839. She came to the United States with her brother George Jesse in 1857 and lived with him in Michigan until she was united in marriage to Andrew Bossert in the year 1859. They moved to Cassville the same year and later settled on a farm in Waterloo township. In 1864 her husband was called to serve in the Union Army in the Civil War. During this time she remained at home and cared for the farm. She became a member of the Seventh Day Adventist church in 1870 and until her death she has been a firm believer in the faith she accepted. In the year 1892 they moved to Cassville where she has resided until her death January 16th, at the age of 91 years, 4 months and 8 days. Her husband preceded her 36 years. She leaves to mourn her loss 5 children, Joe A., Francis D., and Mildred, Mrs. C. A. Kirschbaum of Cassville, also Mary and C.S. of Mora, Minn.; nine grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. She was a kind and loving mother and friend not only to her immediate family but also to all who came in contact with her. She was known in the community as "Grandma Bossert". In this community she will be greatly missed by both young and old. She was a firm believer in Christ, and his soon return to this earth to claim his honest and faithful ones; and she lived in the hope that she would have a part in the resurrection of the Just--By one who mourns.

  	The names of the children Mary and Andrew JESSE, are based on list prepared by their granddaughter, Augusta Jesse Buchholz. Augusta's granddaughter, Fern Falkenstein Bengelsdorf, has the original list, and gave a copy of it to Dorothy Ball Williams. It APPEARS that George and Anna were the oldest children, and Amelia the youngest. This seems logical since George and Anna appear to have been the first to emigrate. The birthdates of the other children are ESTIMATED based on this assumption. If they were not listed in birth order, this is likely incorrect.
