In looking at the census of 1900, 1910 and 1920, I have determined the following.

Annie Behrens and Peter Behrens were married in Germany prior to 1875 as the census shows that Anton Eden Behrens was born in about 1875 in Germany. Annie was born in about 1847 in Germany and immigrated about 1891 or 1892.
In 1900 she is visiting friends when the census taker came by and she is listed in Iowa however it also says that she normally lived in Nebraska in 1900. She is a widow in 1900.
