Mrs. Barbara (Greub) Kneubuehl was born March 18, 1890, in Germany, and died at 11:15 p.m., May 23, 1943, at the St. Anthony Hospital, Rockford, Ill., after several months of intense suffering.

She was baptized and confirmed in the Reformed faith in Germany.  In 1905 she joined her parents in America, and was united in marriage to Jacob Kneubuehl in 1909.  To this union were born four children, two daughters and two sons.  Her husband preceded her in death Nov. 7, 1919.

For the past twenty-four years she and her family made their home with her brother Fred, at Davis, Ill., where they were engaged in cheese making.
