Biography

Named after a sister who died young, Philippina "Phoebe" Reiss was born in Ohio in 1834. She was the fourth child of Jacob and Maria Elisabetha (Scheer) Reiss and first to be born in America.

When she was 20 years old, she married Adam Bauer, another German immigrant who'd come to live there. He was a railroad foreman.

They started their family in Ohio, having seven children together. In 1885, the family moved to Nebraska. Phoebe passed away five years later, three days after she turned 57.

Adam remained a widower for the rest of his life. In the early 1900s, Adam Bauer returned to Ohio to live with their son Philip. He succumbed to sickness and old age in 1913. He was 87 years old. Adam's remains were taken back to Nebraska and buried with his wife.
