of Christian Theiss who married Amanda Kramer.  Died of a heart attack
following a stroke at the age of 67, January 10, 1937, at the Lutheran Hospital

Ottilie Kramer

Born August 29, 1880, near Dayton, Iowa.
Known as ``Tillie''.

She was married October 17, 1901, in Fort Dodge, Iowa.  From a draft of the
press release: ``On Thursday afternoon at the Cramer home on Round Prairie
occurred the marriage of Miss Tillie Cramer to Mr. Fred Theis, Rev. Zuerrer
of the German Lutheran church officiating.  The home was made most attractive
by decorations of autumn leaves and cut flowers.  The bride was attired in a
beautiful gown of blue silk and the groom in a suit of conventional black.
The bride was attended by Miss Anna Heilman of this city and Miss Clara
Schram, of Norfolk, Nebraska.  The groom was attended by Mr. Joseph Cramer of
Woden, Iowa, and Mr. Fred Heilman of this city.  Following the wedding and
congratulaions the guests were seated to a wedding feast which will long be
remembered as amost sumptuous spread of good things.  The groom is a young
man whose preparation for the battle of life was made upon the farm of his
father north of the city, where he has acquired a thorough knowledge of
agriculture which he will follow.  He is amply provided with business ability
to carry on his chosen vocation and secure a liberal share of this world's
wealth.  He is recognized as a young man of sterling worth and ambitious to
succeed.  The bride is a young lady whose life in Fort Dodge has endeared her
to a large circle of acquaintances.  Her kindly disposition and ladylike
deportation has won for her the esteem of a large number of friends who
extend to her their wishes for her future happiness and prosperity.  They
received many handsome gifts.  Mr.{} and Mrs.{} Theis will be at home to
their friends on a farm situarted one and one half miles north of the city.''

Died July 30, 1944, at home on the farm just north of Fort Dodge, next to Wraywood.

She held the wedding of her son Alvin at her home in 1941: ``The outdoor living room
to the west of the Theiss home, north of the city, with its walls of blooming
lilacs, highlighted with hundreds of vari-colored tulips was an effective
background for the double ring ceremony.''

From her obituary: ``A great lover of flowers, Mrs. Theiss spent much time
in her garden which was very successful with blooms continuous from eraly
spring util late autumn.  She was a member of the Fort Dodge Garden club and
a number of meetings were held in her always attractive garden.''
