3. | Lena S. Kruse was born on 9 Jun 1883 in Schortens, Friesland, Niedersachsen, Germany (daughter of Friedrick Conrad August Kruse and Karoline Sophie Charlotte Niebuhr); died in 1975 in David City, Butler, Nebraska, USA. Notes:
Lena came to the United States as a young adult and married Henry G Husmann. They were the parents of three children, Elmer, Herbert and Henrietta (Milton Scheffler). Henry died in the flu epidemic of 1918 several months before Henrietta was born.
Lena then married Herman H Jannssen. They were parents of two daughters, Edna (Kenneth Paul) and Ruth (Bob Sovboda).
Apparently Lena had a child in Germany whom no one here knew anything about. Some of the family members visited Germany in the early 1980's, to visit relatives. Can you imagine their surprise when the Husmann and Janssen siblings found out they had an older half sister?
