Read More	Conrad Mattheis was born October 2, 1852, the son of Henry W. and Anna E. Mattheis. At the age of fourteen, along with his family, he left their native land near Schrecksbaugh in East Germany for the United States on June 1, 1867. In 1870 he left New Jersey with his family and traveled to Michigan, then later to Illinois. While in Illinois he met William Roberts, who became his travelling companion. They planned to go to California. They traveled only as far as Fontanelle, Iowa and later to Massena Township. On October 16, 1874 Conrad purchased a farm in Massena Township. The farm home was built in 1876. At the time the home was built, Conrad sent back East for his sister, Margaret, to come to Iowa to keep house for him. This she did, arriving in Anita by train, which was at that time, the end of the railroad line. Margaret became the bride of his good friend, William Roberts. He attended a local country school called Whitneyville in Massena Township for two consecutive winters. Conrad married Anice Skipton on February 2, 1879 and they lived on the farm until they retired and moved to Cumberland. Conrad took an active part in civic affairs and was a member of the local Odd Fellows Lodge and helped in the rebuilding of the business district following the disastrous Cumberland fire. He died April 3, 1923 and was buried at the Massena Township Cemetery. The Mattheises raised three daughters: Effie (Mrs. Thomas A. Thompson) was born November 10, 1879 and died November 13, 1962; Mable, (Mrs. Walter Prall) of Bremerton, Washington was born December 9, 1880; and Otley (Mrs. James McKee) of Massena, was born June 4, 1887 and died October 9, 1977.
