26. (B3)Johann and Agatha Wiens

(B3)Johann Wiens and his second wife Agatha
Agatha Neufeldt was born 18 Dec 1855.  "Our engagement took place on 24 May 1876 and the wedding was on 8 Jun 1876."  (Agatha was the mother of our grandmother Anna.)

(B3)Johann and Agatha were married June 18, 1876 and were married 16 years.  Their ancestors had also emigrated to the Ukraine from Prussia.  Johann Wiens had been married before (his first wife died 1 Mar 1876) and he brought a daughter, Suzanna age 8, into the family.  Then Johann and Agatha Wiens had 8 children.  The Johann Wiens family lived in Hamberg, Molotschna.
