Friedrich NOERENBERG was buried, with wife Wilhelmine, at Zion Evangelical
Church, 2-1/2 miles south and 1/2 mile east of Ithaca, Saunders County,
Nebraska; gravestone monument marked "FRIEDRICK NOERENBERG, APR. 25, 1834 -
JULY 30, 1884, WILHELMINA, HIS WIFE, DEC 4, 1828 - JUNE 20, 1884, AT REST".
William Noerenberg in his autobiography notes Friedrick's birthday as April 21,
1834, instead of April 25, 1834 as inscribed on his gravestone monument. Other
public records show Friedrich's birth date as March 27, 1834 and christening
March 31, 1834, which are thought to be the correct dates.
