HIS FATHER:
Johann Jacob Kappen (1822 - 1881)
Born in Zuschen, Westfalen, Germany on 6 Dec 1822. Johann Jacob married Margaretha Zinn and had a child. He passed away on 10 Jan 1881 in Milleville, Iowa, USA.

HIS MOTHER:
Margaretha Zinn (1830 - 1879)
Born in Schlitz, Hessen, Germany on 3 May 1830. Margaretha married Johann Jacob Kappen and had a child. She passed away on 24 Jan 1879 in Milleville, Iowa, USA
==================================

The information I have is Annie was the daughter of William Kappen and his first wife, Mabel Lucinda Eastman Kappen, who died in 1902 (memorial #98031678 - death date is incorrect on the memorial). In 1911, he married Minnie Ella Baker Kappen. I believe Minnie is Annie's step-mother, not her mother.
