Judith,
I finally got to the San Diego City Public Library to lookup your obituary request. I checked the San Diego Union newspaper in both the obituary section and the
'Death & Burial' notices in the classified ad section.
On Jan. 20, 1901, I found this;
PHILLIPPI -- At Coronado, Cal., Jan 18. Lilliann L. wife of R. J. Phillippi, a native of Indiana, aged 44 years, 5 months, 2 days. Interment Redlands, Cal.
On Jan 21, this appeared as a news item;
Died at Coronado
Mrs. Lillian Phillippi died on Friday at Coronado, where she had been since last November, with her daughters. She came here from Redlands on account of ill
health and was the wife of R. J. Phillippi. The remains will be embalmed by Johnson and Connell, and will be taken to Redlands tomorrow, accompained by her
husband and daughters.
Hope this helps. Good luck in your research.

Obituary:
The Citrograph, Redlands, CA, Sat., 21 Dec 1907
The death of Miss Kate Lemburger (sic) is the cause of deep grief to the very large circle of her friends. She will also be sadly missed in club circles where she
has been a very prominent member for several years. She has been for two years district president of the California Federation of Women's Clubs. She had
been prominent in the Contemporary Club, and the Crafton Women's Club, Miss Lemburger was talented, educated, bright, well read, and possessed a
geniality and broad mindedness that endeared her to all who were fortunate to be her friends. Her loss leaves a wide gap in the club life of South California.
H.H. West: She never married.

was willing to accompany us here, but his master had urgent business, so nothing came of it. By the way, his pay is better than it was earlier. He must be a
good worker. He told us recently that he can make in one day a completely ready whiskey barrel, which is good enough for such a short apprenticeship."
Letter from John (Johannes) Lemberger to H.H. West, 13 May 1900: "Christian Henry carried on a rope factory in Louisville, Kentucky. He died near twenty

Notes for Anna Martha Schmidt:
From Shelly Prochaska, by email, 1 Feb 2000, citing old letters in her possession:
Lillian and Lillie's grandmother Anna or Annie M's maiden name was Schmidt. Anna told a story of having been born to a titled family. Her father was a
Landgraf which was the equivalent to a Duke or Prince. Her ancestors were the ones who rented the Hessian soldiers to the English to help fight in the
Revolutionary War. She married the son of a wealthy ROPE MANUFACTURER when she was about 18. Her husband was next on call to go into the army and
they decided to sneak away and come to America. Her husband left several months before she did in order not to create suspicion. When he left, she sewed
4000 dollars in gold into a belt for him to wear and she had the same amount for herself. She left, not telling anyone--just closed her door and walked out of
the house. She often wondered what became of her home with all her lovely things. She was on a sail ship 90 days and it finally landed in New Orleans. They
had two little sons. Her husband met her at the boat and they went to St. Louis to live. There, a neighbor mentioned that one of her little sons looked pale, so
she called a doctor. He said, "This medicine will soon put roses in his cheeks." The first teaspoonful killed him. [This would leave one son left, probably
Herman.] The druggist made a mistake. This so saddened her that they moved to Louisville. There Mr. Young or Jung set up a ROPE FACTORY. It was making
good money. He had an
Irish foreman who was always drunk and he fired him. The drunk set fire to the factory and it burned to the ground. Mr. Young/Jung died. Then, when Anna
was 31, she married Mr. Lemberger. When Grandfather Lemberger died, they lived in a large two-story brick on the corner of Preston and Camp or
Ormsby. I used to pass it when I walked home from Sunday School. The house was a yellow brick. [I can go find this house and take pictures for you.]
Grandfather left her with a $14,000 insurance policy. With this, she bought a sandpit. [This is not explained.] Do you remember the old saddles that
used to be in the barn before it burned down? They had in large brass letters, "Anna M. Lemberger" on them. I never knew that Grandmother married for a
third time, but according to George, he told me the whole story. The marriage was a mistake and they decided not to tell the Grandchildren.
Children of Christian Lemberger and Anna Schmidt are:
93 i. William H.7 Lemberger310, born Abt. 1862 in Kentucky311; died 1905312,313. He married Emma Groeppe; born Unknown; died Unknown.
94 ii. Mollie Lemberger314, born Abt. 1863 in Kentucky315; died Unknown.
95 iii. Alfred C. Lemberger316, born Abt. 1867 in Kentucky317,318,319; died Bet. 03 - 04 Oct 1901 in Louisville, Jefferson Co, KY320,321.
Notes for Alfred C. Lemberger:
Alfred Lemberger died prematurely at age 34 from a heart attack. There is also a sensational story concerning his last days.
In the H.H. West book, there is a copy of a letter from Johannes (John) Lemberger to H. H. West, dated 23 Oct 1901:
"Dear Burt
Enclosed I send you clipping taken frm the St. Louis Republic, I thought it would interest you as the Lemberger was your cousin a son of Henry Lemberger of
Louisville Ky. It is a strange tale I dont know what to make of it, I have never met any of my Brother Henry's Family, the last time I saw my Brother Henry he
was a Boy about 14 years old."
Inasmuch as the article itself was not in the book, the letter left something of a mystery. Shelly Prochaska then provided a version of the manner of Albert
Lemberger's death in an email dated 21 March 2000:
"Yesterday, my grandmother told me a very strange story about her Uncle Al (the doctor who is buried in Louisville at Cave Hill). He did a house call for a sick
person (don't know who or what the illness was). The person had a very contagious disease, and so he quarantined the house. The family became outraged
and said they put a hex on him. They told him that his dog would die first and then he would. He insisted the house be quarantined and went on his way.
That same day, his dog died. The next day Uncle Al died while at the barbershop getting a haircut."
This was a good indicator that the article Johannes referred to no doubt had to do with the death of Dr. Alfred Lemberger. Michael and LeAnn Lemberger then
found in a scrapbook a fragmentary article apparently clipped from a St. Louis newspaper. The full text of the article was then located in the microfilm
holdings of the Library of Congress.

St. Louis (MO) Republic, October 11, 1903, page 1
PROPHECY CAME TRUE ON APPOINTED DAY
Louisville Physician Was Told That He and His Horse and Dogs Would Die
PREDICTIONS ALL FULFILLED.
Police and Detectives Are Now Looking for the Mysterious Woman Soothsayer--Suspicious Points in the Case
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Louisville, Ky. Oct 11 "Within nine days that fine mare will die, the colt you value will die, your last hunting dog will disappear, and then you will die."
This was the prophecy made by an unknown mysterious woman to Doctor Alfred Lemberger, and it came true to the letter, for Doctor Lemberger fell over
dead from heart failure on the evening of the ninth day.
The other conditions of the prophecy had already been fulfilled.
Now every detective on the Louisville force and every newspaper reporter is looking for the strange woman who made that prediction. Physicians say that
she probably caused the man's death by the psychic effect upon him. But the question remains, Who is the woman? for only Doctor Lemberger knew and he
never told her name. That section of the city was never so excited before.
Miss Kate Schuster, who was to have married the doctor the latter part of this month does not know nor does her sister Mrs. Schweitzer, who kept house for
the bachelor. His brother and intimate friends can tell simply what Doctor Lemberger told them that a woman had predicted his death.
It started several weeks ago when Doctor Lemberger was called to attend a child suffering from diphtheria. The physician and family differed as to the
diagnosis. He reported it diphtheria, placarded the house, and enforced the sanitary measures that the law provides. The family objected bitterly. The baby
died. One of the family visited the physician's office on Goss avenue to "wish him ill."
Told Club Friends of Prophecy.
According to the story of the dead man's intimate friends, Doctor Lemberger was a member of a little club that met each week at the home of some member
for a social card game. Almost all of the well-known men in that section of town belonged. It was at a club meeting that the doctor first told the story of the
strange prophecy. The man who heard him tell the story first repeated it.
"Boys," he began, "you can play cards on my coffin in a couple of weeks if the prophecy of a woman made today comes true."
Then he went on to tell his friends about the table what he called a good joke on himself. He told them the story, but held back the name of the woman,
professing not to know it. In the intervals of the game, amid the jokes and laughter of his comrades the doctor told how the woman had entered his office and
said first that she wanted to let him know that he need not hunt for that dog; that he was gone; because he would never come back. It had gotten into the
street and a boy had carried it to the country. Then the woman said:
"Be careful, for in nine days that fine mare will die, your colt, that you value, will die, and finally you will die on the ninth day--if you are not careful."
"But that mare is not mine. She belongs to my brother," said the doctor.
"That makes no difference," replied the woman. "Anything that is in your stable during the next nine days must die. You have enemies and they may kill
you. The greatest danger to your life will be in the nine days after the mare dies. Don't go out alone at night. You can believe this because I predicted the
death of President McKinley, but said nothing about it because I feared I might get into trouble."
Predictions All Came True.
The members of the club heard the doctor's story, and straightaway it became the standing jest. But one day the physician did not answer the questioner so
readily. The fine mare was dead. Colic seized the mare one morning, and before Doctor Miller, the veterinary surgeon who was quickly summoned, could
arrive she had died.
In a couple of days, however, the physician had apparently forgotten all about the incident. He was only reminded of it by the disappearance of his good
hunting dog and the death of two of her pups the same day.
But one of the strange woman's prophesies remained now to be fulfilled. Lemberger had ceased to scoff about the fortunetellers, soothsayers, and the like.
One day he went fishing, but told the people at the house exactly what must be done in case he did not come back.
When the doctor went out at night he took a man with him. The time for the club meeting rolled around. The doctor went. He seemed in finer spirits than he
had been for a week. He was even joking and laughing about the prophecy of the strange woman. They were playing "auction pitch."
"I bid one," said the man on Doctor Lemberger's left. The physician skinned his cards. The others were doing the same thing and paid little attention to him.
"I bid two," said Doctor Lemberger at last--then he fell forward on the table dead. The last prophecy of the strange woman had been fulfilled. It was the
evening of the ninth day.
(End)
This article then led to a search of Louisville newspapers in the Library of Congress holdings. The results of that search yielded two straightforward accounts
of his death, plus a somewhat different version of the story reported in the St. Louis Republic.

Sudden Death of a Young Physician
Dr. Alfred C. Lemberger a Victim of a Sudden Attack of Heart Failure
Dr. Alfred C. Lemberger, a prominent young physician, died suddenly Thursday night at his home, 1136 Goss avenue. At 10:05 o'clock he suffered a terrible
heart attack and ten minutes later the end came, despite the fact that medical assistance reached him quickly. His death will be a severe shock, as he was
universally popular and highly regarded.
For several days Dr. Lemberger had not felt well. He suffered from pains in the region of his heart. Previous to these attacks he had enjoyed excellent health.
Late Thursday night he was in attendance on a friend. His heart began to pain and he hastened home, arriving there at 10:05 o'clock. He lay on a sofa and
soon lapsed into unconsciousness. At 10:15 o'clock he died. Dr. Schwartz reached him just before the end, but was unable to afford relief. Owing to the
suddenness of the death, Coroner McCullough was summoned. He pronounced death due to a heart attack.
Dr. Lemberger was 34 years old and had practiced his profession for ten years. He is widely known in the southeastern portion of the city. He was unmarried.
Two brothers and two sisters survive. They are George and William Lemberger, Mrs. Mollie Kontz and Mrs. Lillian Gerstung. The remains were taken to the
home of Mr. Gerstung at Floyd and Bennett avenue. The funeral will be conducted at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from St. Matthew's church, interment
being in Cave Hill cemetery.

Sudden Death Comes to Young Physician
Dr. Alfred C. Lemberger Is Seized With Sudden Heart Attack and Passes Away.
Dr. Alfred C. Lemberger, a well-known physician in the eastern portion of the city, died suddenly of heart failure at his office, 1126 Goss avenue at 12:15
o'clock yesterday morning. He had been calling at the residence of a friend a short distance away during most of the evening. About 11:30 o'clock he was
taken sick and hastened back to his office. He laid down on a lounge, and, becoming steadily worse, asked that Dr. Schwartz be called in. Dr. Schwartz had
scarcely had time to examine Dr. Lemberger before he breathed his last. Coroner McCullough was called and pronounced heart failure to have been the cause
of death.
The deceased was thirty-four years of age, and he had a large practice, especially among the Germans in the eastern part of the city. He was highly thought of
by the medical profession generally in the city. Dr. Lemberger was unmarried. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Mollie Kontz and Mrs. Lilly Gerstung and two
brothers, George H. Lemberger, of the Prudential Life Insurance Company, and William H. Lemberger, of the Kentucky Wagon Works.
The remains were removed to the family residence at Floyd and Burnett avenue. The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from St.
Mathew's church. The interment will be in Cave Hill cemetery.

STRANGE CASE
of Dr. Lemberger and Mysterious Woman
SHE FORETOLD HIS DEATH
Predicted Chain of Incidents That Came to Pass
DOCTOR'S END THE CLIMAX
Doomed Physician Related the Story and Gloomily Awaited His Fate.
ALL GERMANTOWN IS AROUSED.
"Within nine days that fine mare will die, the colt that you value will die, your last hunting dog will disappear, and then you will die."
This was the prophecy made by an unknown, mysterious woman to Dr. Alfred C. Lemberger, and it came true to the letter, for Dr. Lemberger fell over dead
from heart failure on the evening of the ninth day. The other conditions of the prophecy had already been fulfilled. Now all Germantown is asking the
question: "Who is the woman that made the prophecy?" And none seems able to answer, for the prophecy was made to Dr. Lemberger in private, and only he
knew the woman's name.
Miss Kate Schuster, who was to have married the doctor the latter part of this month, does not know, neither does her sister, Mrs. Schweitzer, who kept house
for the bachelor. His brother and intimate friends can tell simply what Dr. Lemberger told them-that a woman had predicted his death.
It all started several weeks ago, when Dr. Lemberger was called to attend a child suffering from diphtheria. The physician and the family differed as to the
diagnosis. He reported it diphtheria, placarded the house and enforced the sanitary measure that the law provides. The family objected bitterly. The baby
died. One of the family visited the physician's office on Goss avenue to "wish him ill," as the saying goes in that part of town.
Mrs. Schweitzer yesterday told the story of the visit. "She came and wished the doctor ill every way, and he was awful mad, and said he reckoned he'd get even
with her some time."
"But is the mother whose child died the woman who predicted Dr. Lemberger's death?" asked the reporter.
"No, that is another one," said Mrs. Schweitzer. "I think she came first to tell the doctor where his hunting dog had gone. He had a fine dog, and it
disappeared. One day a medium-sized woman came to his office. I didn't notice her. I wouldn't have thought of it but for the stories that the doctor told. He
said that the woman predicted that he would never get the dog back, because it had been carried far away in the country by a boy, who picked it up on the
street. He said, then, that she went on to tell him not to worry about that dog, because if he wasn't careful his mare would die and his colt and his other dog,
and, finally, himself. My! the doctor was mad. He said he would like to break that woman's neck for telling him such foolishness. I don't believe in such
things, but it all came true."
The reporter hunted up another friend who had been very close to Dr. Lemberger. And then, the only story of the occurrence that the doctor told his friend
came to light.
Dr. Lemberger was a member of a little club that met each week at the home of some members for a social card game. Almost all of the well-known men in
that section of town belong. It was at a club meeting that the doctor first told the story of the strange prophecy covering his end. One of the men who heard
him tell the story first repeated it:
The Doctor's Story
"Boys," he began, "you can play cards on my coffin in a couple of weeks if the prophecy of a woman made today comes true."
Then he went on to tell his friends about the table what he called the good joke on himself. He told them the story, but he held back the name of the woman,
professing not to know it. In the intervals of the game, amid the jokes and laughter of his comrades, the doctor told how the woman had entered his office
and said first that he need not hunt for that dog that was gone, because it would never come back. It had gotten into the street and a boy had carried it to the
country. Then the woman said: "Be careful, for within nine days that fine mare will die, your colt that you value will die, and finally you will die on the ninth
day-if you are not careful."
"But that mare is not mine. She belongs to my brother," said the doctor.
"That makes no difference," replied the woman. "Anything that is in your stable during the next nine days must die. You have enemies, and they may kill you.
The greatest danger to your life will be nine days after the mare dies. Don't go out alone at night. You can believe this, because I predicted the death of
President McKinley, but said nothing about it because I feared I might get into trouble."
The members of the club heard the doctor's story and straightaway it became the standing jest.
For the next few days, whenever any member of the little club saw Dr. Lemberger, the greeting would be exchanged:
"Well, Doc, ain't dead yet, are you?"
And the doctor would reply with some joke at the expense of fortune tellers, witches, soothsayers, and the like.
First Ill Omen
But one day the physician's joke did not answer the questioner so readily. The reason was plain. The time for the counting of the nine days had arrived. The
fine mare was dead.
Colic seized the mare one morning, and before Dr. Miller, the veterinary surgeon, who was quickly summoned, could arrive, she had died.
In a couple of days, however, the physician had apparently forgotten all about the incident. Only he conducted a very careful examination of the stable, and
ordered the negro boy, John, who attended to the horses, and who slept in a room over the stable, to move into the main house.
The club meeting night was the day after the mare died, and the members cast all sorts of jokes at their friend, asking him if he was not sorry that he had only
one week to live, and similar pleasantries, which he apparently enjoyed as much as the jokers.
Death of the Colt
About three days after the death of the mare the six-months-old colt drooped and would not eat. No one told the doctor because of the prophecy, but the
next morning the colt had developed an acute case of pleurisy. Dr. G.W. Knorr, from the office of Dr. Miller, was on hand quickly. He saw at once that the colt
was in a very serious condition. Four men worked with the little animal for six hours and then, like the mare, it died.
Two of the strange woman's prophecies had come to pass.
"I never saw a man so much broken up over the death of an animal," said Dr. Knorr last night, "and certainly it was rather a strange case. I don't see how the
colt got pleurisy in that stable."
And the Dog!
The morning after the death of the colt, the last good hunting dog disappeared. Two of the pups died that same day.
But one of the strange woman's prophecies remained now to be fulfilled. Dr. Lemberger had ceased to scoff about fortunetellers, soothsayers and the like.
One day he went fishing, but told the people at his house exactly what must be done in case he did not come back. When the doctor went out at night now he
took a man with him.
The time for the club meeting rolled around. The doctor went. He seemed in finer spirits than he had been for a week. He was even joking and laughing
about the prophecy of the strange woman.
They were playing "auction pitch."
"I bid one," said the man on Dr. Lemberger's left.
The physician skinned his cards. The others were doing the same thing and paid little attention to him.
"I bid two," said Dr. Lemberger, at last. Then he fell forward on the table-dead.
The last prophecy of the strange woman had been fulfilled. It was the evening of the ninth day.

to Lynn. Nana has some obits for them. Here's whose obits she had: George
Henry Lynn died 8-25-1947 at age 75. (This was probably Annie's son listed
in the 1880 census--the dates match.) His wife was Bettie Addis Lynn.
Their children were Mrs. Nelson (Mary) Bickel, Addis T. Lynn, George H. C.
Lynn, Lewis C. Lynn, and Charles J. Lynn. George's sister was Mrs. Isabel
Frank. (Could this be the Isabel from your census?) Bettie died Christmas
Day in 1952 at age 74.

Lynn. Their children were Mrs. Astor (Martha) Akers and Mrs. James (Doris)
