Her memorial stone shows the German spelling of Emelie, but it is often written as Amelia - and everybody seemed to call her Melie (pronounced Meely). Dawn Ford has done extensive research on the ROWOLD family and "Barney" ROWOLD showed me the genealogy book she put together for them. Very nice!
Her maiden name was Kreinbring - and her sister was Louise Kreinbring (who married a SCHMIDT).
There seems to be a variation on the date of her birth - two sources say she was born 14 Mar 1893, while the Social Security Death Index shows 15 Mar 1893. I'll defer to what's on her gravestone.
She married Herman Conrad ROWOLD, mar 10 Dec 1913 in Lowden, Cedar, Iowa.

In the meantime - I hope she doesn't mind the Obituary here:
