August
This must be Hermann August Brenneke because his dates of birth and death match our records. Born 6 Jan 1837 and died 8 Aug 1922. So he went by his middle name rather than his first name?
Magdalene
This must be Hermann August Brenneke's wife, who we have listed as Magdelena Bergdolt. I have no date of birth, only her date of death, 30 Jun 1926, in Royal Center, IN. I've found it common that the family 'Americanized' their names. She's not to be confused with Johann August Brenneke's daughter, Magdalene, who also died in 1926, but in Salzuflen, Germany.
Katherine
This must be Hermann's daughter Katherina Matilda, who I have listed as born 7 Aug 1877 and died 27 Oct 1891. The stone has her birth in 1878 but the year of death matches. Same person??? She never married so her name would have remained Brenneke.
