Theresa Assmann Hanson died November 20, 1914.  Her married name of “Hanson” has been spelled a variety of ways so I am unsure of the proper spelling.  Theresa was the last of her family to die.  After she married Peter they moved to the upper peninsula of Michigan and seemed to move about a lot.  Peter died first in 1890.  Theresa moved to St. Ignace, Mackinac, Michigan where she remained until she died.  Her maiden name is spelled “Ossman” though I am sure that is how it was pronounced.  (3rd great-grandaunt)

Anna Maria Assmann Kessler died January 28, 1903 – 11 months after her beloved husband Christopher.  She rests beside him in Mt. Elliott Cemetery in Detroit, Michigan.  It is not clear on large their grave markers are as they had sunk a couple inches beneath the earth.  I had pulled away the grass to photograph the stone, but if there is more further down I did not capture it.  (3rd great-grandmother) (clicking on the photo makes it larger)
