Johanna was born in Kleinaspach, Neckarkreis, Wurttemburg, Germany on February 2, 6 or 7, 1837. Her stone says the 2nd; her death certificate says the 6th. However, her Enemy Alien Registration she filled out during WWI says the 7th. This was sworn to John McKee, the Registration Officer and Postmaster in Clay Center, Kansas on June 25, 1918. Because of this, I am using the date of the 7th.

Johanna was the daughter of Johann Ernst Obenland and his wife, Christina Katherine Kuemmel.

Johanna had one illegitimate child, a son named August. August's father is said to have been a soldier, passing through town.

On May 12, 1901, Johanna arrived in New York. The ship she had traveled from Germany to the United States was the Kensington.

Johanna lived with her son, August and his wife, Dorothea, and their children in Clay Center, Kansas.

During WWI, Johanna filled out an Alien Enemy Registration Affidavit, which the location is here on this memorial. The actual affidavit is "in the mail."

Johanna died in Clay County, Kansas, on May 1, 1924. She was buried next to her son August on May 3, 1924.
