Martha Alberta Klotzbach

Notes:

Her maiden name, on the Janke Tree at WorldConnect, was instead shown as Klotzbough. However, both the obituary of her brother, Vernon Klotzbach and the 1930 Federal census, on which she was enumerated next to her parents, shows that the spelling was actually KLOTZBACH. Vernon's obituary also shows he was survived by his sister, Mrs. Martha SANDERS, so it appears Martha remarried sometime after 1930.

Abstract of Vernon Klotzbach obituary, published in the Oelwein (Iowa) Daily Register, 19 Nov 1958...Vernon Klotzbach, 69...son of John G. and Melinda (STONER) Klotzbach who predeceased him....also predeceased by his wife, Hermine E. GERDES....survived by four daughters, one brother, Floyd KLOTZBACH of Independence, one sister, Mrs. Martha SANDERS, Burlington, and five grandchildren.
