|
Fred Jenni |
The
Argus here describes, not a farewell party, but a party in honor of
Mrs. G.C. Moseley of St. Joseph, Mo., who is visiting. She is described as a "sister of the three Jenni brothers," namely, Fred, John, and Gottlieb, I assume. (Magdalene? Caroline? Emma? Elise?)
Mrs. White, sister of Mrs. Fred Jenni (i.e., Emma Flueckinger), was in charge of the dinner. (Her name was "Frieda.")

John S. Jenni |
Nearly two months later, the
Democrat reports a "farewell party" held for
Mrs. Cable Mosley [sp?], who was heading home to St. Joe.
This Mrs. Mosley is not a sister but a "nece" [sic] of the Jenni brothers.
"Miss" Emma Jenni, it reports, accompanied Mrs. Mosley and will enter school in St. Joe. This Emma, then, is unmarried; hence not Fred's wife (also "Emma Jenni").
I have found a marriage certificate dated Jan. 16, 1913, identifying Emma A. Jenni (21), daughter of John Jenni and Albertina Diezieger, as marrying Edwin E. Kindschy (29). This Emma Jenni, being the daughter of John is a niece of the Jenni Bros., Fred and Gottlieb.
Emma was about fourteen years old when she accompanied Mrs. Mosley on this trip.

Two days later, the
Argus reports the same "farewell" party held for Mrs. Cable Mosley.
"Miss" Emma Jenni is described as accompanying Mrs. Mosley, again, to attend school at St. Joe.
Here's paperwork for the 1870 Federal Census. It includes the Jenni family of Lincoln, Missouri, who had recently emigrated from Switzerland. That family included Frederick, John, & Gottlieb—the trio later referred to as the "Jenni brothers."
|
The Jenni family seems to be split, residing in two distinct addresses. (See "Samuel" Jenni at bottom.)
Daughters listed include Magdelene, Caroline, Emma, and Elise. |
Lincoln is about 120 miles northwest of St. Joseph.
P.S.: Here's a report of Fred's visiting St. Joe, MO from 1891:
Fred married Emma Flueckinger in 1891. She had lived in St. Joe, MO until 1891. She too was originally from Switzerland. (St. Joe, a real town, is very near Amazonia, a small village.)
