Born to Adam and Anna (Ickenroth) Winter, Anna Mary Winter (1851-1910) was a niece of my great-great-grandparents, John Peter and Anna Maria (Ickenroth) Winter, and they adopted her when her parents died en route to America. Anna Mary Winter married first George Meinhart (1838-1879) and second Hubert Huberty (1855-1925), and they lived at New Vienna and Dyersville, Iowa. T.L.

Anna Maria Winter and George Meinhart
Anna Maria (Winter) Meinhart and Hubert Huberty

* = Adam Winter and John P. Winter may have been brothers whose wives, Anna Ickenroth and Anna Maria Ickenroth, respectively, were sisters, thus making John Peter and Anna Mary Winter uncle and aunt to Adam and Anna Winter's children through both the Winter and Ickenroth lines.
Anna Maria Winter was born on August 24, 1851, to Adam and Anna (Ickenroth) Winter, at Niedersayn, a village in Nassau, in Germany (Niedersayn is located in the present-day German state of Rhineland-Palatinat [Rheinland-Pfalz]; a church record gives Anna's birthplace as Niedersayn, Weidenhahn, Nassau [Weidenhahn is located just north of Niedersayn]). In 1854, Anna was coming to America with her parents, two brothers, and her uncle and aunt, John P. and Anna M. (Ickenroth) Winter*, but while on board the ship, nearing this continent, her parents, Adam and Anna, were seized with an attack of illness which finally resulted in their deaths. Both were buried at sea, as the ship was nearing the Gulf of Mexico. Their children, the two boys and the girl, continued on their journey, which had been shrouded in sadness, with their aunt and uncle, to the United States. Upon arrival at St. Louis, the two boys were also stricken with the fever and their deaths soon followed that of their parents. The girl, Anna Maria Winter, was adopted by her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. John P. Winter.

John Peter and Anna Maria (Ickenroth) Winter, with their niece, now adopted daughter, Anna Maria Winter, traveled up the Mississippi River to initially settle in Dubuque, Iowa, in 1854, before moving to New Vienna, Iowa, in 1864. John and Anna (Ickenroth) Winter had two more children, Maria "Mary" Anna Winter in 1855 and Anna Winter in 1861.

Marriage to George Meinhart.

* = April 23 is George Meinhart's date of birth as it appears on his gravestone (see picture below); April 19 is recorded as his date of birth in a church record book.
The Civil War and George Meinhart:
George Meinhart was a private in Company G of the 16th Regiment, Iowa Infantry (online as part of the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System). The 16th Regiment was organized at Davenport, Iowa, and among its major engagements during the Civil War were the Battle of Shiloh (April 6-7, 1862), the Siege and Surrender of Vicksburg (May 18-July 4, 1863), and the Battle of Atlanta (July 22, 1864). The regiment was mustered out on July 19, 1865.
MEINHART, George. (Veteran.) Age 23. Residence Dubuque, nativity Germany. Enlisted Oct. 15, 1861. Mustered March 12, 1862. Re-enlisted and re-mustered March 11, 1864. Mustered out July 19, 1865, Louisville, Ky. Thus reads the entry for George Meinhart in Volume 2 of the Roster and Record of Iowa Soldiers, as transcribed online at 16th Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry in the War of the Rebellion: Roster and Record (online as part of the Iowa In The Civil War). Also transcribed from the same volume is an informative Historical Sketch of the 16th Regiment.
The obituary for George Meinhart that appeared in both the Dubuque Herald and Dyersville Commercial incorrectly states that he served with the "Twenty-third Iowa regiment" during the Civil War.
Anna Maria Winter married George Meinhart on October 1, 1867, at St. Boniface Church in New Vienna, Iowa, with the Reverend John B. Weikmann officiating. George Meinhart was born on April 23, 1838*, in Germany and came to America when quite young. He settled in Dubuque County soon after his arrival in the United States. During the Civil War, George Meinhart served three years with honors as a private in Company G of the 16th Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry (see box at right).

George and Anna Mary Meinhart lived at New Vienna, where for many years George Meinhart filled three offices: the presidency of the school board, the postmastership, and the office of township clerk. He was a faithful public servant and performed the duties of these several positions to the satisfaction of the public. Mr. Meinhart was an intelligent, enterprising man. For a long time he was proprietor of the Washington House at New Vienna, and by his tact and suave manners succeeded in building up an excellent business. He was well known and highly respected not only in Dubuque County but in the entire northern portion of the state.

The 1870 U.S. census has the Meinhart household consisting of George, age 32, farmer and saloon keeper, born in Prussia; Anna M., age 19, keeping house, born in Hesse Nassau; Peter, age 1, born in Iowa; Daniel Banct, age 76, at home, born in Prussia; Mary Winter, age 17, domestic servant, born in Hesse Nassau; Jos. Minehart, 18, bartender, born in Iowa; Martin Wiedering, 41, stone mason, born in Austria; and Frederick Leimer, age 45, tailor, born in Wurtemberg. George Meinhart also had Frank Vormann working for him as a tailor for a time at his clothing store in New Vienna, which was probably part of his enterprise at the Washington House.

George and Anna (Winter) Meinhart had five children: Peter Meinhart, Mary Meinhart, Joseph Meinhart, Edward Meinhart, and Elizabeth Meinhart. Joseph and Edward both died between their first and second birthdays and were buried in New Vienna, Iowa.

A GOOD MAN GONE.
Death of George Meinhart, of New Vienna.
George Meinhart, an old resident of Dubuque County, died at his home in New Vienna, New Wine Township, Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, May 11, 1879. The disease that carried him off was consumption, with which he had been afflicted for over five years. A wife and three interesting children are left to mourn his demise.

The funeral obsequies were observed on Tuesday, May 13, in New Wine, attracting a large concourse of friends from Dubuque and adjoining counties. His death was sadly regretted, and his funeral was one of the largest ever witnessed. The remains were followed to St. Boniface Catholic Church, where Rev. Father Schulte administered the last, sad rites in a solemn and impressive manner, affecting many of his hearers to tears. Interment was in St. Boniface Cemetery at New Vienna.

Mr. Meinhart's death was greeted with probably as much sadness as that of any man that has died in New Wine Township. By his death, New Wine loses a good citizen, whose virtues were many, his faults few. He was universally beloved and respected.

The 1880 U.S. Census lists the Meinhart household in New Wine Township consisting of Anny, age 29, keeping house; Peter, age 10, at school; Mary, age 9, at school; and Elizabeth, age 3.

Anna Mary (Winter) Meinhart marries Hubert Huberty.
On August 8, 1882, Anna married Hubert Huberty at St. Boniface Church in New Vienna with the Rev. Father Conrad L. Schulte officiating. Hubert was born on October 18, 1855, in Stein Heim, Luxemburg. His youthful days were spent in his native village, where he received his education and grew to manhood. In the year 1878, he emigrated to this country and settled at Holy Cross, Iowa. The 1880 U.S. Census has Hubert Huberty living in Concord Township, Dubuque County, Iowa, working as a laborer. After living there a short time, he went to New Vienna, Iowa, where he held a position with Mr. Jacob Kerper, as drayman, and was engaged in hauling freight and express from Dyersville, Iowa, to New Vienna.

The Hubertys settled down to housekeeping at New Vienna, where Mr. Huberty was then engaged in the manufacture of soda water. Hubert Huberty cast ballots in the election incorporating the town of New Vienna on May 31, 1895, which passed 42-14, and in the first election for town officers of New Vienna on July 17, 1895, and he was elected as one of the original trustees/councilmen, a position he retained for two terms, in 1895 and 1896, at which time he and his family moved to Dyersville, Iowa. Hubert established the Huberty Bottling Company in Dyersville, which he owned and operated until 1912, when his sons George and Henry took over the business.

The 1900 U.S. Census has the Huberty household in Dyersville, Iowa, consisting of Hubert, age 43, occupation of bottling works; his wife Anna, age 47; and their children, Anna F. [Frances], age 16; George C., age 13, laborer in bottling works; and Henry, age 13, and Jacob, age 12, at school. In 1910, the Huberty household consists of Hubert, age 53, soda water factory; his wife Annie M., 58, and their sons, George, age 24, and Henry, age 23, both working in the soda factory. Both the 1900 and 1910 censuses list Anna as the mother of 12 children, seven of whom are living.

Born to Hubert and Anna (Winter) Meinhart Huberty were Frances Huberty, George Huberty, Henry Huberty, Jacob Huberty, John Gregor Huberty, Barbara Huberty, and Matthew Huberty. The last three died as infants or young children.

MRS. H. HUBERTY DIES NEAR DYERSVILLE.
WELL KNOWN RESIDENT OF DUBUQUE COUNTY CALLED TO HER REWARD.
Esteemed Dyersville Lady Died Monday Morning Result of Pneumonia.
Anna M. (Winter) Meinhart Huberty passed away at the family home on Temple Street in Dyersville, Iowa, on Monday morning, November 14, 1910, at 2:15 o'clock, after a several months illness. Pneumonia was the cause of her death. For a time there were hopes of her recovery, but there was a turn for the worse, and she grew gradually weaker. She was 59 years of age.

The funeral was held Wednesday morning, November 16, at 9:30 o'clock, from the family home to New Vienna, Iowa, where requiem services were held in St. Boniface Church. After the Mass offered by Rev. Father B.A. Luetke, the remains were carried to the family lot in the cemetery nearby for interment. Rev. Father F.W. Pape officiated at the grave. The funeral was largely attended, many people from surrounding towns being present to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. The pallbearers were Messrs. Nic. Esch, Frank Faha, Frank Rohenkohl, C.A. Smith, Peter Stronck, and John Freymann.

Mrs. Huberty's death has caused deepest regret among her many friends and neighbors. She was of cheerful disposition, generous to fault, resourceful in any contingency, faithful in her responsibilities, and most devoted to family and friends. True to the saying that actions speak louder than words, Mrs. Huberty has in her life, by her kindly deeds, built a monument in the memory of her friends that will long remain. The bereaved husband and children had the sympathy of all in their hour of sorrow.

Three daughters and four sons survive their mother. They are Peter Meinhart, of Fremont, Neb.; Mrs. W.A. (Elizabeth) Meis, of Dubuque, Ia.; Mrs. Mary Hoerstmann, of Dyersville, Ia.; Mrs. Fred (Frances) Fischbach, of Dubuque, Ia.; and George Huberty, Henry Huberty, and Jacob Huberty, all of Dyersville, Ia. She is also survived by her husband, Hubert.

MR. H. HUBERTY ANSWERS CALL
PASSED AWAY TUESDAY NIGHT AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS' ILLNESS.
Funeral Held Friday Morning at 9:30 O'clock. Interment in St. Francis Cemetery.
His many friends of Dyersville, Iowa, were stricken with sorrow to learn of the death of Mr. Hubert Huberty, which occurred at 11:10 o'clock Tuesday night, September 29, 1925. Death followed a two weeks' serious illness, although Mr. Huberty had not been in the best of health for several years. Everything possible was done to prolong the life of this estimable citizen, but all was to no avail, and he passed peacefully away at time stated above.

The funeral took place on Friday morning, October 2, at 9:30 o'clock, from his late home on East Vine Street to St. Francis Church in Dyersville, where requiem mass was sung for the repose of his soul, after which interment was made at St. Boniface Cemetery in New Vienna.

The death of Mr. Huberty calls forth expression of deep regret from every hand. During the many years he was in business, he won the confidence of all who had any business dealings with him. Honest and upright, generous to a fault, resourceful in any contingency, and of a congenial disposition, he was honored and respected by all. Being public spirited, he was ever ready to do his part that meant for the betterment of the community. He followed up his work until a few years ago, when his two sons George and Henry took over the business; while his son Jacob engaged in the ice business. True to the saying that actions speak louder than words, Mr. Huberty has in his life, by kindly deeds, built a monument in the memory of all his friends that will long remain. Heartfelt sympathy was extended to the bereaved children left to mourn the loss of a devoted father.

Mr. Huberty's surviving children are Mrs. Fred (Frances) Fischbach; and George Huberty, Henry Huberty, and Jacob Huberty, all of Dyersville, Ia. Three stepchildren also survive, Mrs. Mary Hoerstmann and Mrs. W.A. (Elizabeth) Meis, of Dubuque, Ia., and Peter Meinhart, of Fremont, Neb.

Nine-Year-Old Dies of Burns / Dyersville Boy Burnt Near Home
Dyersville, Ia.--Nine-year-old Richard "Ricky" Huberty died at Mercy Hospital in Dubuque at 10:30 p.m. Friday of burns received when he dropped a lighted match in the gas tank of a junked car near his Dyersville home Friday afternoon. Richard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Huberty, received second and third degree burns over 60 percent of his body when flames shot out of the tank and ignited his clothing.
He and a friend had reportedly been playing near several cars in a lot about two blocks from his home just before the accident at 1:30 p.m. Friday. A witness said he saw the boy running from the lot, then fall down. He and other residents of the area helped put out the flames.
