Sources: Title: Marriage certificate in possession of Gertie Meyer of Lakota IA
Hugo and Meine were married at Ramsey Reformed Church by Pastor L. Walermuelder. The marriage certificate spells Hauko, Meine, and Küper. I asked Carl Meyer, who spent his boyhood in Ostfriesland, about the significance of the diacritical marks (diæresis or umlaut) above the u in Küper. He pronounced it with an almost-R sound after the u. He said without the diæresis the name would be pronounced "Cooper" and that would be wrong.
The marriage certificate, prepared by the church, is the only place where I have seen Mina spelt Meine and the only place I have seen Kuper spelt Küper. The Hauko verifies the 1900 census where Hugo's name is spelt Hauko. the 1900 census is hard to read however.
