US memorial card cites October 23. He was buried on 26 Oct 1852 in Aich, Württemberg, Germany.(43) He was also known as Heinrich. His name appears "Henry Wiest" on a memorial card from the US. He was married to Anna Catharina FÜGEL on 14 Jun 1835 in Bonlanden, Württemberg, Germany. (45)

11. Anna Catharina FÜGEL Photo was born on 1 Feb 1817 in Bonlanden, Württemberg, Germany. (46)(47) Records in Bonlanden cite February 1. Her headstone and US memorial cards cite February 2. The town's complete name is Bonlanden auf dem Fildern. It is south of Stuttgart, a bit northwest of Aich. She was confirmed in 1831 in Bonlanden, Württemberg, Germany. (48) She immigrated about 1878. (49) This date is determined from Death Record which states she had been in this state for 24 years. However, 1900 Census cites 1880. She appeared on the census in 1900 in Peru, IL.(50) She is living in Dimmick Township. She appears as "Katherine Wuest", age 83, a widow. She is boarding with the Rhyan family. The Census gives her birth as February 1817. It also indicates she immigrated in 1880; she was the mother of 4 - 2 still living. She died on 3 Feb 1902 in Peru, IL. (49) She died of "old age" in Dimmick Township at 9pm. She was 85 years and 2 days old. She was buried on 5 Feb 1902 in Peru City Cemetery. (49) F.E.Eckenfelder was the undertaker. Headstone states "Katherine Whiest" and "Grandma". This inscription is on the backside of the Kutter plot stone. Daughter Rosa and son-in-law Gottlieb Kutter are also buried there. She was also known as Wuest, Whiest. She was also known as Katharina. Existing photos are from Stuttgart, Baden-Wuerttemberg (Germany). Children were:

child i. Anna Katharina WÜST was born on 10 Jan 1837 in Aich, Württemberg, Germany. (51) She was confirmed in 1851 in Aich, Württemberg, Germany.(52) She resided before 1876 in Aich, Württemberg, Germany. According to the Aich Family Register the family left the area c. 1876. It appears they were heading for Munich. It is likely that between 1876-1880 they left for US (the "Peters" family was known by Sale relatives in Illinois.) She died before 1900. Her mother appears on the 1900 Illinois Census. It states she was the mother of 4, 2 still living. We know her sisters Carolina Luisa and Anna Maria were still living; Rosina died earlier in 1900 - therefore, the other deceased child must be Anna Katharina. A photo exists of a family group - parents, 3 boys and one girl. The mother is identified as "Mrs. Peters ...sister of Mrs. Fred Sale" (therefore Anna Katharina Wüst Peter). The eldest son, standing, is identified as Ed Peters father (therefore Jakob Heinrich Peter had a son Ed).
