A Johannes Kroeger, spoke at the funeral services for Ernestine Denker
at Davenport, Iowa in 1908. He is listed in the German writing of the
church paper as a "truen" (father?) He has no know direct relationship
with Ernestine, but Ernestine's daughter Selma (German article lists as
Zelina), married the grandson of Margaret Kroeger, wife of Henry F.
Schlotfeldt. Margaret's Father's name is not known as of 1996, but
it is doubtful that a Great-grandfather Kroeger who would have been
born about 1820, would have been around in 1908 to give "deeply
moving speeches at the family home and gravesite". But it's
not impossible, that would put him in his 80s.

From Fay Schlotfeldt:
Chain: Hans Henry>Henry F.& wife Margaret "Anna" Kroeger. This is Margaret's sister. We have been lucky enough to find a picture of Hans Henry Schlotfeldt, born 1808 in Klein Flintbek, and his wife Catherin Margaret Stoltenberg. We also have pictures of many of their Grandchildren, but NONE of their children. In this case, the missing child photo would be of my Great Grandfather Henry F. Schlotfeldt (who came to the U.S. with Hans and Catherine) and his wife Margaret "Anna" Kroeger. We are still searching and hope that time hasn't escaped us with folks throwing away photos they couldn't identify. BUT...Thanks to SHIRLEY PATRICK who found us while chasing down the Kroeger family, we now have a picture of Margaret's sister, DORIS. (Shirley is descended from Doris and has been a Great! help in research of this branch.) Doris Kroeger, immigrated to Davenport, Iowa from Postfeld, Preetz,Germany with her family. Naturally, she is very good looking, as are all women who marry into the Schlotfeldt family, their daughters, mothers, sisters, cousins and friends! :-) This photo at least gives us an inside look at Margaret's family. Margaret's father died shortly after they arrived, her mother died in Germany 11 days after she was born. Her stepmother, Dora (nee Sievert)came to America with Hans and the family, She remarried and had additional children, so we have additional half-cousins from that side of the family. Their searching turned up this picture for us. If any of you have any leads for a picture of Henry F. & Margaret or the other kinder, please pursue them. Thanks so much, we keep hoping.
