Obituary Pioneer Republican, Marengo, Iowa, May 11, 1933:
"The High Amana Community was shocked Sunday morning to learn of the
death of Mrs. Amanda, Puegner, who passed away at 1:30 a.m. after a two
days' illness following a stroke.
Funeral services were conducted Wednesday at the community church
with the minister, Arno Wendler, in charge. In addition to many who
attended from the Amanas, there were relatives and friends present from
Marengo, Davenport and Chicago.
Amanda Gehlert was born in Germany on September 8, 1844. At the age
of 25 she became the bride of Herman Puegner, sr. They remained in
Germany until Nov. 5, 1883 when the family emigrated to America. For the
past 40 years the family home has been in High. Mr. Puegner died here 16
years ago.
Five children survive, Mrs. Rosa Meier and Liddy, Herman and
William, of High and Mrs. Immanuel Solbrig, of Davenport. She also
leaves 11 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Three sons preceded
their mother in death. They were Edmund, Gustav and Oswald, the latter
dying while the family was living in Germany.
In addition to her housework and garden work, Mrs. Puegner had
assisted in the kindergarten. She was faithful in attending all
religious services and was always willing to lend a hand when she could
be of assistance."
