1920 Tittabawasee, Bay Co, MI census: John Sr, 55, Anna, 54, Amelia, 19, Anna, 17, all b. Russia, immig 1904, Jacob, 15, Gottlieb, 13, Rosa, 11, b. MI. Farmer. Lived next door to John Jr, 29, b. Russia, Florence, 24, b. MI, Wilbert 8/12, b. MI.From Glory Bremer: "Diener Family. John and Anna Marie Diener and seven children came to the United States in 1904 from Reinhart, Russia. The family lived near the Volga River in Russia. The town of Reinhart changed its name a long time ago. The Volga River runs south to the Caspian Sea and north to Kazan. From the stories that were told as to how cold it got, the family must have been in the northern part of the river valley.
John and Anna Marie left Russia to avoid their sons going into the Russian Army. The German people moved to Russia when a German Princess married a Russian Czar. She became homesick for her country, so the Czar opened a large area of land free for any of the German people to settle and live there. The German people kept to themselves and held to many of their old traditions, religion, and the German language. After the princess died the Czar decided that the German boys must serve in the Russian Army. They were always mistreated because of a language barrier and nationality. John had been in the army and knew how bad it was. He said his sons would never have to go into the Russian army. By the late 1800s and early 1900s there was a lot of unrest in Russia. In 1904 there was an uprising that the Czar managed to put down. John knew there was more to come.
Jacob, Gottlieb II and Rose were the only children born in the United States. Anna Marie was pregnant with Jacob on the way over. The family always teased Jacob about the rough ride over on the boat. Three children John I, Gottlieb I and Christ died in infancy and are buried in Russia.
John had a brother that came to the United States, his name was Christopher or often called Chris. John was his sponsor so he could come to this country. He lived on the farm in Munger for two years and then moved to California. During WWII Wilbert Diener looked the family up while he was stationed in California. They lived on an apple farm near Fresno. That was the last time they saw him.
Anna Marie Diener nee Mertz had a sister named Sophia ...
John and Anna Marie purchased a 120 acre farm on Markel Rd. for $9000.00. Jacob and his wife Esther lived there until February 22, 2000 when Jacob passed away at the age of 95."
Saginaw News, Mon, Jul 22, 1946, p. 11: "Saginawians' Mother Dies in Bay County -- Mrs. Anna Marie Diener, 80, Bay County resident for 36 years, died Saturday evening at her Merritt township home in Bay county. Anna Marie Mertz was born Dec 25, 1865 at Reinheard (sic) Russia, and was married there Feb. 17, 1884, to John Diener, and they came to the United States in 1904. Mrs. Diener leaves her husband, six daughters and three sons, Mrs. Louisa Garinger, Mrs. Mollie D. Bessinger, and Mrs. Anna(?) Elliot of Saginaw, Mrs. Sophie Haske of Fairgrove, Mrs. Rose(?) Oeder of Reese, and Miss Amelia Diener at home, John Jr., and Jake of Munger, and Gottlieb of Traverse City; 21 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Friends may see Mrs. Diener at her home until noon Tuesday and afterward at Trinity Lutheran church, Reese, where the funeral will take place at 2:30 pm Tuesday with Rev. Otto Rupprecht officiating and burial in the church cemetery. Mrs. Diener was a member of Trinity Church."

According to his mother's obituary, Gottlieb Diener was living in Traverse City in 1946. Acc to Glory Bremer, he died in 1944 of illness associated with injuries sustained when beaten up on his way home from work one night years before. "He was in a coma for 3 weeks.
