For “Died” 2 OCT 1907 of Anna Dorothea Schmidt

"By the death of Mrs. Anna Dorothea Thiele (nee Schmidt), which occurred a few days ago, another of the original pioneers of Hahndorf was removed. The deceased, who was in her eighty-eighth year, came from Germany in the ship Zebra (Capt. Hahn) in 1838, and had resided in Hahndorf ever since."

Contemporaneous newspaper obituary, published 19 Oct 1907, confirming a death "a few days ago" -- consistent with the tree's recorded 2 Oct 1907 date -- and an age ("eighty-eighth year") consistent with the recorded 1820 birth. Also gives her 1838 emigration aboard the ship Zebra (Capt. Hahn) to Hahndorf, South Australia, not otherwise recorded in the tree. Does not name her parents.
