John Henry Kernebeck & Anna Maria Schaefer
John Henry was the son of Johann Bernhard Kernebeck and Adelheid Hemling. He married Anna Maria Schaefer, daughter of Nicholas Schaefer and Gertrude Schmitt, on 5 November 1885. They had eight children, four sons and four daughters. Their family farmstead was in Ringwood, in the area of Pioneer and Ringwood Roads. It was on this farmstead where all John and Anna's children were born. Anna died after giving birth to their daughter Cecelia on 6 June 1899. John at this time was in the process of having a home built for the family in the town of McHenry, where they planned to move once the home was completed. Sadly, this did not happen as planned. This home today is located on the NE corner of Richmond Road and Broad Street, John moved into this home sometime after Anna had died with his seven children. John re-married on 29 July 1903, to Emma Mueller, daughter of Johann Mueller and Susanna Schmitt. Emma was the cousin of John's first wife Anna. Emma's mother Susanna ( Schmitt ) was a sister to Anna's mother, Gertrude (Schmitt ). John and Emma had three children, William John, Genevieve Elisabeth and Pauline Josephine.
John Henry was the brother of my great grandfather, Henry Kennebeck. John's first wife, Anna Schaefer, was a sister of Henry's wife, Elisabeth Schaefer, my great grandmother.
