Grandpa’s siblings 4

Thus far we have learned about Peter P and Margaretha Epp Buller’s four oldest children: Peter, who died eight days after birth in 1891; Margaretha, who was born a year later and married Klaas Friesen; Katharina, wife of Dietrich Quiring; and Benjamin, husband of Anna Regier. Today we move to the next in line: Sara P Buller.




Born 30 September 1899, Sara never married; instead, she served as a nurse both in Nebraska and in California. To the best of my knowledge, Sara moved to California with her parents; indeed, I believe she lived either with them or close by for most of her life.

The York News Times obituary for her notes that, when she died 27 October 2002 at the age of 103, she was the last surviving member of her immediate family, with only two sisters-in-law remaining: Elsie (Peter) Buller of Omaha and Beatrice (Henry) Buller of Beaumont, Texas (see here).

Sara was laid to rest in the Mennonite (Buller–Siebert) Cemetery with her parents and many of her siblings.
