Mary Francis Angst. Given name: aka (Franny, Verena, Pharanie), 1st husband William Walser Sr.
2nd husband Frank Kremer. Mary Francis Angst emigrated from the northern German-speaking Canton of Aargau, Switzerland. She settled in Sharon Twp, Richland County, Ohio for about a decade and later in Maple Grove TWP, Michigan, and then Owosso, Michigan. Her parents were "Joseph/John/Jack/Xavier" Angst (Sr.) and Maria Walzer? Her passenger ship record has been located and attached to her memorial. Note: Since so many women were given the first name of Mary during her timeframe, so many of them took on a nickname to more easily distinguish themselves. Franny is still a common German name to this day and is short for Frances. Verena is likely due to the Catholic Saint who died in Zurich Switzerland which is close to where Mary F. Angst was from.

Mary F. Angst had 4 sisters and 2 brothers all born in Switzerland. Most of whom immigrated to the USA as well. As I understand, the siblings are:
