A Third Marriage --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     Wilhelmina married third William Frederick Siekman, son of Jobst Heinrich Siekmann and Anne Ilsebein Nuenker, on 5 Feb 1890. He was the widower of Louisa Elisabeth Strother and had previously been married to Augusta Bohmeyer.18,19,20
     Wilhelmina and William Frederick Siekman lived on the farm outside in Burlington, Kentucky, about 1891 where he had lived with his previous wife, until about 1891, when they bought a farm near Heborn. They improved the house and barn, and planted an orchard, and then in Jan 1896 Mr. Winston, the seller, foreclosed on the mortgage and took the farm back. On 17 Feb 1896 they moved to a rented farm near Taylorsport, where they lived for 19 years, until it was sold. Then they bought a farm two miles west of Burlington, moving there 17 Feb 1915. They lived there until his death, and then she remained until she moved to live with her daughters in Feb 1923, renting the farm to Henry.33
     Wilhelmina and William appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Bullittsville, Boone Co., Kentucky, enumerated 8 Jun 1900.

     After the death of her third husband she was listed in the 1920 census as a farmer. Given that she was then 69 years old, it seems likely that their son Henry, then 27, and listed as a "farm manager," was providing considerable assistance.55
     After she rented the farm to Henry in Feb 1923 she lived with her daughters. She lived with Cora in the winter and with Clara in the summer, until Clara and her husband bought the Gottschalk house, and then she lived with them full time until her death.29
