Ostie (Minard) Henneman was born on Oct. 7, 1895 in
Hawleyville, Page County, IA, the daughter of Albert
Everett and Mary Ellen (Knepple) Minard. She and her sister Oscie
Ingersoll Burwell were twins.
Ostie married John Henry Henneman ( ? -1985) on Dec. 29, 1915.
They were farmers for many years in the Hawleyville area.
The Hennemans had one son, Orville Carl Henneman.
After retirement, they moved to the town of Hepburn, Page County.
The
Hennemans celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in January 1965. Said a
newspaper:
They were honored by over 100 friends and relatives at open house held in the Bruno Steeve home in Clarinda ... Mrs. Henneman's mother, Mary Minard, 99, who is under nursing care, was unable to attend the celebration for her daughter and son in law... Mrs. Homer Crawford, a sister of Mrs. Henneman, registered the guests from Crystal Lake, Kansas City, Villiaca, Yorktown, Red Oak, Braddyville, New Market, College Springs, Hepburn, Bedford, Mt. Ayr, Shenandoah and Nebraska City.
John
died sometime before Ostie. The date is believed to have been Oct. 7, 1985.
Ostie survived her husband by three years. She passed away at the age of 92 on Aug. 17, 1988, and is buried in the cemetery in Clarinda, Page County.
At Ostie's death, she and her husband had produced four grandchildren, one step-grandson, seven great-grandchildren, two step great-grandchildren, and four great-great grandchildren.
Son Orville Carl Henneman (1916-1992) was married twice. His first wife, Clara, was a nurse. She was killed when hit by a moving vehicle while helping someone having car trouble. He died at the age of 76 on April 3, 1992, at Omaha, NE. He was laid to rest in the Clarinda Cemetery.
