"The High Amana Community was shocked Sunday morning to learn of the
death of Mrs. Amanda, Puegner, who passed away at 1:30 a.m. after a two
days' illness following a stroke.
Funeral services were conducted Wednesday at the community church
with the minister, Arno Wendler, in charge. In addition to many who
attended from the Amanas, there were relatives and friends present from
Marengo, Davenport and Chicago.
Amanda Gehlert was born in Germany on September 8, 1844. At the age
of 25 she became the bride of Herman Puegner, sr. They remained in
Germany until Nov. 5, 1883 when the family emigrated to America. For the
past 40 years the family home has been in High. Mr. Puegner died here 16
years ago.
Five children survive, Mrs. Rosa Meier and Liddy, Herman and
William, of High and Mrs. Immanuel Solbrig, of Davenport. She also
leaves 11 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Three sons preceded
their mother in death. They were Edmund, Gustav and Oswald, the latter
dying while the family was living in Germany.
In addition to her housework and garden work, Mrs. Puegner had
assisted in the kindergarten. She was faithful in attending all
religious services and was always willing to lend a hand when she could
be of assistance."

Rosa & William's first child (William Puegner Meier) was born out of
wedlock & only lived about a month. According to custom in the Amana
Society, couples who had children out of wedlock were forbidden to marry
until they had made penance to the church, etc. Apparently this was the
case with Rosa and William, as they did not marry for a year after the
birth of their first son. They went on to have a daughter, Lydia Rosa &
a son, Adolph Alfred (who died at the age of 2).
Rosa Meier's probate file contains her handwritten will, which was
written in German. A certified translated copy, signed by A.I. Solbrig,
is also included which reads as follows:
"High, Iowa
January 4, 1939
Rosa Meier born Puegner. Since a person does not know what may
happen to him (or her) therefor, while I am still able, I will put my
will in writing. Everything that I have: the furniture, my share of the
house and garden, and what shares are left, shall belong to my daughter,
Lydia Furlong. She shall not sell the house as it has always been our
home. I hope that everything will be carried out properly and for the
best. Written the 4th day of January, 1939, at 2:00 p.m.
Rosa Meier
Witnesses: Mrs. Ed Ehrmann
Dr. C. Hermann"
The family home was located in the Village of High, Lot 2 Block 2, which
Rosa owned with her brother, Herman, and sister, Lydia, both of whom
never married.
