Eventually the Volga German community absorbed its English predecessor. About the only remaining English remnant is the name. In 1913 Herzog was changed officially to Voctoria. The original founders of Herzog gathered at Saratov from the nine villages of Herzog, Boregard, Liebenthal, Obermonjou, Mariental, Louis, Neu-Obermonjou, Marientburg, and Graf. They left Saratov on October 24, 1875, two days after the daparture of the first groups from Katherinenstadt, Kamenka, and Pfeifer.

Under the leadership of Balthazar Brungardt 108 families left Saratov by train on July 8, 1876. Their body consisted of departures from Herzog, Obermonjou, Louis, Graf, Wittman, Marienthal, Schoenchen, and Gattung. The group SEPTEMBER rated at Eydtkuhnen, with the Munjor founders among these electing to sail via the Hamburg-American line. Arriving in New York, they then proceeded by train to Herzog. After remaining there several days, they repaired to a site on Big Creek a short distance north of the present village of Munjor. Some two months later they moved to the present town site in Section 25, Town ship 14, Range 18 in Wheatland Township. The MUNJOR settlers were poor people, as were most of the Volga-Germans in the other local settlements. Their first residences were simple sod house. In 1876 they purchased Section 25 and organized MUNJOR Land Company. This creation lacked legal status and was succeeded by a corporate entity, the MUNJOR land and Grazing Company, which was chartered about OCTOBERober 11, 1882 at the suggestions of John Schuler, an advisor and benefactor for the early MUNJOR pioneers. Part of the section was surveyed by G.R. Wolf for the town site. Each lot owner was a member of the grazing use by all members. The charter provided for a 50-year life, a five-man board of directors with a president, secretary, and treasurer. The original capitalization called for $10,000 divided into 200 shares of $50 each. No interest in the company land holdings could be mortgaged, sold, or transferred without the consent of two-thirds of the membership. From the beginning this corporate creation experienced serious difficulties. The southern half of the section was sold on AUGUSTust 15, 1888. Controversy became so intense it pilled over into court litigation. In JANUARYuary, 1899 deeds were issued for the town lots only. This company’s internal conflicts split the community into two major factions. Peace was restored only after its dissolution. The founders wasted little time in arrangements for church services. They also prayed around a homemade cross under the open sky, but as early as 1877 succeeded in erecting a small 20 x 40 foot frame structure for church use. Rev. Fr. Valentine Sommereisen said mass in this building once a month. The Capuchins came in 1878 and have been in charge of the parish since then. Within a few years the parish added 16 feet to the original church. In 1889 this structure was replaced by the present stone church building. TRADITIONS OBERMONJOUr in RUSSIA was founded in 1766. It was located on the valley side of the Volga, the first village north of Katherinestaadt. According to an account by Victor LEIKER, a New Jersey Journalist and a native of MUNJOR, Kansas in the AHSGR Work Paper No., 5, February 1972, the town in RUSSIA was named after a Frenchman named MUNJOR, a land agent for Catherine the Great. Eventually the town had a population of 3,000. Mr. LEIKER says that a young OBERMONJOUr lad who survived Siberia and was able to visit the Volga a few years ago, wrote his uncle in Germany as follows: "I could not even find where our village had been. It is as though nature has returned the land to the plains as they once were, without a tree, or a smokestack or a road or even a rusty pipe marking the village we loved so much." In 1876 the following families founded MUNJOR in Kansas. BEFORT; BINDER; DECEMBERHANT; DOEFLER; Eberle; ENGEL; Gabel; Graf; GROSS; Herl; HERTEL; Klaus; Korbe; KRANNAWITTER; Lieker; PFANNENSTIEL; Miller; Riedel; ROHR; Ruder; Rupp; SCHUMACHER; Schreibvogel; Stoecklein; Unrein; Urban; Wasinger; Yunker; GOETZ. Not all of the founders of MUNJOR, Kansas came from Obermounjour in RUSSIA. Some came from Wittman, Schoenchen, Marienthal, and Herzog on the Volga. The Grabbe family came directly from Germany. Peter LEIKER of OBERMONJOUr was ONE of the FIVE explorers who came to America in 1876 to look for a suitable place to settle. When the settlers arrived, they were for the most part poor, and the first order of business was to build shelters for their families, which were house constructed from sod and tree saplings from Big Creek. In 1926 a model sod house was built on the campus of Ft. Hays College to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the coming of the German-Russians to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS. A lady from the east who stopped to see the sod house remarked, "Oh my Goodness, how could anyone develop in a thing like this?" Joe Linen Berger of Victoria a man 6' 3" tall and weighing about 225 lbs. overheard the remark and said,” Lady I am a specimen that grew up in ONE of these sod houses and I could crush every bone in your body with ONE handed: Contrary to what was said, these houses were fairly comfortable. The floor was bare, and in ONE of the rooms was a large stove used for baking and cooking. The interior of the house was whitewashed, and the entire house kept neat and clean. On of the most noted characteristics about MUNJOR in America was its find church choir. Clemens Wasinger and his son Paul were directors for over 50 years. Nick J. PFANNENSTIEL whom many considered the finest Tenor in ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, led the singers. He retired in Hays and in 1956, Nick and this writer compiled a book of approximately 150 German-Russian folk songs. MUNJOR was another ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS town that was proud of its fine baseball teams through the years. There were many fine players, but let it suffice here to say that many felt John Riedel and Martin LEIKER could both have been professional ball players had they been given the opportunity. Nick J. PFANNENSTIEL, Joe BORN PFANNENSTIEL (604 E. 15th.) had fine race horses, and did much harness racing at county fairs and other events. Today, many of the best citizens of ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS originate from this quaint little village located 6 miles southeast of Hays on the banks of Big Creek.

Conrad and Anna Margaretha (Kronnewitter) BEFORT, along with their TWO small children, Paula and Peter, emigrated from OBERMONJOUr, RUSSIA, situated along the Volga, north of Saratov. Leaving on SEPTEMBER 18, 1876, they arrived NOVEMBER 1, 1876. They landed in New York and immediately headed westwarDIED Conrad and Anna, along with other immigrants, settled in and founded what is now known as MUNJOR, Kansas. Upon their arrival (as this was open prairie) the first in order of things was to provide shelter. Their first home was built of sod cut from the prairie. After taking care of their immediate needs, and to survive the coming winter, the next most important thing was to build a place of worship. Their first church was built in 1877. They were strong in their Catholic faith, and their lives were centered on their religious training. Conrad and Anna were farmers and were active in their community and church. As the years passed, they eventually had a family of thirteen children. My grandfather, John C. BEFORT, was BORN in MUNJOR, FEBRUARY 18, 1890. He was the ninth child and youngest son. Conrad died AUGUST 12, 1914, survived by his wife and TEN children. Anna lived in her home in Hays, Kansas, for some years, and the remainder of her life with her son and daughter-in-law John and Barbara. John C. BEFORT, son of Conrad BEFORT and Anna Margaretha (Kronnawitter) BEFORT, was BORN on FEBRUARY 18, 1890. Barbara Steinbock, the daughter of Alois and Elizabeth Steinbeck, was a sister to triplets She was BORN on JUNE 3, 1893. On OCTOBER 24, 1911, they were MARRIED in MUNJOR, Kansas. They began their life together on a farm several miles west of MUNJOR. They remained there until 1920. During those years FIVE children were BORN to them; Josephine, 6/27/1912; Albina; 9/3/1913, Clarence, 8/4/1915; William, 2/2/1917; and Alex, 10/17/1919. In the year of 1920, John and Barbara sold their farm and purchased half a section of land half a mile north of Hyacinth, Kansas. The home, barn and other buildings had been built about THREE years earlier. TEN other children were BORN to them the following years; Elizabeth, OCTOBER 19, 1920; Agnes, 7/8/1922; Jane 5/3/1924; John Jr. 9/18/1925, Ester, 8/31/1926; Bernice, 4/24/1928; Irene, 12/13/1929 twins Alois and Conrad, 10/30/1931 and Francis 10/6/1933. John Jr. and Elizabeth died as infants. Alex was a veteran of World War II in the U.S. Army and saw action in Germany and France. He died in 10/1951. He was survived by his wife, Rose (Steinlein) BEFORT, and infant daughter, Gloria. Irene died 8/16/1965, at age 35, survived by her husband, Leroy Wilson and small son, David Conrad (twin son) died in 1947 at SEVENteen years of age. Francis died in a power line accident 8/22/1961. He was in the army from 1954-1955. He was age 27 when he passed away. He was survived by his wife Darlene (HAMMERSMITH) BEFORT and TWO small daughters, Rosemary, 4 and Margaret, twenty-THREE months old. John and Barbara worked long hours to provide for and rear their family. Barbara would begin her day at 4'oclock in the morning to do her baking, laundry, and help with outside morning chores, including milking cows and feeding animals. During harvest she was in the fields working along side the men. She was also a seamstress and made most of the children's clothing. Their children received their elementary education at Hyacinth in a ONE-room school, where all EIGHT grades were taught by ONE teacher. Simon GOETZ and Florence Ross were the teachers during those years. Their children walked to school most of the time as it was only about a mile away from home. However, other times, after a particularly heavy snow storm, the children looked forward to going to school in a ONE-horse open sleigh. John would bundle them up in a fur lap robe and don his buffalo fur coat and away they would go. They were members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, also located at Hyacinth, where their children received their sacraments and spiritual training. John died at 43 years of age on JUNE 30, 1933. Barbara died at 48 years of age on JULY 1, 1941. They were survived by thirteen of their children. Alois or Aloysius STEINBOCK and his wife, Elizabeth ( Geta ) STEINBOCK came to the USA from Germany about Nov. 1905. They brought with them a daughter, Barbara STEINBOCK who was BORN JUNE 3, 1893 who was 11 years old and Henry STEINBOCK who was BORN: date unknown. There was another child BORN to them in RUSSIA who died there. They settled in Wamega, Kansas as Alois was a railroader. On NOVEMBER 3, 1906, his wife, Elizabeth gave birth to Triplets: TWO boys and a girl. Their names were Adam, Susanna and Joseph. Alois's wife, Elizabeth died on NOVEMBER 16, 1906. Alois didn't have the means to care for the triplets and work, too, so he wanted them to be adopted by Catholic families. Susanna was adopted by: George and Barbara Prockish and the boys still hadn't been adopteDIED They were all baptized on NOVEMBER 5, 1906 at St. Bernards Church, Wamega, Kansas. Sponsors were: Adam ReichenBORN, Mrs. George Gareis and Joseph Macht. Susanna got ill and died Feborn 28, 1907 at Wamega, Kans.

Barbara would have been 15 years old at this time. It has been said that Barbara was doing housekeeping for the Bahl's, possibly her stepmother's sister Annie Bahl and, as the story goes, there was a Werth in Schoenchen who was a matchmaker and got John C. BEFORT and Barbara STEINBOCK to marry on OCTOBER 24, 1911 making her 18 years olDIED NOTE; I don't have much on Henry STEINBOCK.

Under the leadership of Balthazar Brungardt 108 families left Saratov by train on July 8, 1876. Their body consisted of departures from Herzog, Obermonjou, Louis, Graf, Wittman, Marienthal, Schoenchen, and Gattung. The group SEPTEMBER rated at Eydtkuhnen, with the Munjor founders among these electing to sail via the Hamburg-American line. Arriving in New York, they then proceeded by train to Herzog. After remaining there several days, they repaired to a site on Big Creek a short distance north of the present village of Munjor. Some two months later they moved to the present town site in Section 25, Town ship 14, Range 18 in Wheatland Township. The MUNJOR settlers were poor people, as were most of the Volga-Germans in the other local settlements. Their first residences were simple sod house. In 1876 they purchased Section 25 and organized MUNJOR Land Company. This creation lacked legal status and was succeeded by a corporate entity, the MUNJOR land and Grazing Company, which was chartered about OCTOBERober 11, 1882 at the suggestions of John Schuler, an advisor and benefactor for the early MUNJOR pioneers. Part of the section was surveyed by G.R. Wolf for the town site. Each lot owner was a member of the grazing use by all members. The charter provided for a 50-year life, a five-man board of directors with a president, secretary, and treasurer. The original capitalization called for $10,000 divided into 200 shares of $50 each. No interest in the company land holdings could be mortgaged, sold, or transferred without the consent of two-thirds of the membership. From the beginning this corporate creation experienced serious difficulties. The southern half of the section was sold on AUGUSTust 15, 1888. Controversy became so intense it pilled over into court litigation. In JANUARYuary, 1899 deeds were issued for the town lots only. This company’s internal conflicts split the community into two major factions. Peace was restored only after its dissolution. The founders wasted little time in arrangements for church services. They also prayed around a homemade cross under the open sky, but as early as 1877 succeeded in erecting a small 20 x 40 foot frame structure for church use. Rev. Fr. Valentine Sommereisen said mass in this building once a month. The Capuchins came in 1878 and have been in charge of the parish since then. Within a few years the parish added 16 feet to the original church. In 1889 this structure was replaced by the present stone church building. TRADITIONS OBERMONJOUr in RUSSIA was founded in 1766. It was located on the valley side of the Volga, the first village north of Katherinestaadt. According to an account by Victor LEIKER, a New Jersey Journalist and a native of MUNJOR, Kansas in the AHSGR Work Paper No., 5, February 1972, the town in RUSSIA was named after a Frenchman named MUNJOR, a land agent for Catherine the Great. Eventually the town had a population of 3,000. Mr. LEIKER says that a young OBERMONJOUr lad who survived Siberia and was able to visit the Volga a few years ago, wrote his uncle in Germany as follows: "I could not even find where our village had been. It is as though nature has returned the land to the plains as they once were, without a tree, or a smokestack or a road or even a rusty pipe marking the village we loved so much." In 1876 the following families founded MUNJOR in Kansas. BEFORT; BINDER; DECEMBERHANT; DOEFLER; Eberle; ENGEL; Gabel; Graf; GROSS; Herl; HERTEL; Klaus; Korbe; KRANNAWITTER; Lieker; PFANNENSTIEL; Miller; Riedel; ROHR; Ruder; Rupp; SCHUMACHER; Schreibvogel; Stoecklein; Unrein; Urban; Wasinger; Yunker; GOETZ. Not all of the founders of MUNJOR, Kansas came from Obermounjour in RUSSIA. Some came from Wittman, Schoenchen, Marienthal, and Herzog on the Volga. The Grabbe family came directly from Germany. Peter LEIKER of OBERMONJOUr was ONE of the FIVE explorers who came to America in 1876 to look for a suitable place to settle. When the settlers arrived, they were for the most part poor, and the first order of business was to build shelters for their families, which were house constructed from sod and tree saplings from Big Creek. In 1926 a model sod house was built on the campus of Ft. Hays College to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the coming of the German-Russians to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS. A lady from the east who stopped to see the sod house remarked, "Oh my Goodness, how could anyone develop in a thing like this?" Joe Linen Berger of Victoria a man 6' 3" tall and weighing about 225 lbs. overheard the remark and said,” Lady I am a specimen that grew up in ONE of these sod houses and I could crush every bone in your body with ONE handed: Contrary to what was said, these houses were fairly comfortable. The floor was bare, and in ONE of the rooms was a large stove used for baking and cooking. The interior of the house was whitewashed, and the entire house kept neat and clean. On of the most noted characteristics about MUNJOR in America was its find church choir. Clemens Wasinger and his son Paul were directors for over 50 years. Nick J. PFANNENSTIEL whom many considered the finest Tenor in ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, led the singers. He retired in Hays and in 1956, Nick and this writer compiled a book of approximately 150 German-Russian folk songs. MUNJOR was another ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS town that was proud of its fine baseball teams through the years. There were many fine players, but let it suffice here to say that many felt John Riedel and Martin LEIKER could both have been professional ball players had they been given the opportunity. Nick J. PFANNENSTIEL, Joe BORN PFANNENSTIEL (604 E. 15th.) had fine race horses, and did much harness racing at county fairs and other events. Today, many of the best citizens of ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS originate from this quaint little village located 6 miles southeast of Hays on the banks of Big Creek.

This body consisted of the following families ANTON BEFORT ANNA KATHARINA CHILDREN ROSA KONRAD BEFORT ANNA MARGARETHA CHILDREN PETER, PAULINA MICHAEL GRAF CHRISTIAN HERTEL JOHANNES KLAUS MARIA CHILDREN JOHANNES, MARGARETHA JOHANN JAKON LEIKER MARGARETHA CHILDREN JOSEPTEMBERH, KATHERINE JAKOB PFANNENSTIEL In late July or early AUGUSTust, 1878 the following small group of families settled in Munjor: GERHARD BEFORT ELIZABETHA CHILDREN AMALIA, ALEXANDER, KATHARINA, JOHANNES ANTON DECEMBERHANT CHILDREN (4 IN FAMILY) KARL DECEMBERHANT KATHARINA CHILDREN MARIA, KATHARINA, ANTON JAKOB ENGEL (6 IN FAMILY) PETER KLAUS KATHARINA CHILDREN ANTON, ALEXANDER, KASPER, JOHANNES, JOSEPTEMBERH, GEORG JOHANNES PFANNESTIEL ELIZABETHA CHILDREN JOHAN JAKOB, ROSA, MARGARETHA KONRAD RUPP ANNA EVA CHILDREN ANNA MARGARETHA, KATHARINA, AMALIA, JOHANNES, BARBARA, ANNA-MARIA JOHANNES STOECKLEIN KATHARINA CHILDREN ALEXANDER, AUGUSTUST, RAYMUNG, JOSEPTEMBERH Two weeks later came: ANTON GABEL ANNA KATHARINA CHILDREN KATHARINA, ANTON, SEBASTIAN, HELENA JOHANNES GABEL KATHARINA The last group of early Munjor settlers were part of the JoSEPTEMBERh Linen Berger party which left Herzog and Marienthal, Russia on AUGUSTust 20, 1878. Landing in New York on the “Leipzig” of the North-German Lloyd line, they traveled cross-country by train and arrived in Victoria on SEPTEMBERtember 15, 1878. They were part of the last large body to immigrate to Ellis County and consisted of the following families: ANTON DENNING KATHARINA CHILDREN GEORG, JOHANNES, ANNA, BARBARA, MARIANNA ADAM ERNEST ANNA CHILDREN NIKOLAUS, FRANCISKA, MARGARETHA, KATHARINA, ELIZABETHA, KATHARINA JOHANNES ERNST KATHARINA CHILDREN MARGARETHA JOSEPTEMBERH GASSMAN KATHARINA CHILDREN JOSEPTEMBERH, SIMON, PETER KONRAD, ANNA, ELIZABETHA ANDREAS KORBE EVA CHILDREN DAVID, KATHARINA, NIKOLAUS, JOSEPTEMBERH, MICHAEL, JOHANNES, MARGARETHA, BARBARA, MARIANNA PETER PFANNENSTIEL KATHARINA CHILDREN MATHIAS, ELIZABETHA, JOHANNES, KATHARINA, PETER, NIKOLAUS, ADAM, PETER, MARTIN The Munjor settlers were poor people, as were most of the Volga-Germans in the other local settlements. Their first residences were simple sod house. In 1876 they purchased Section 25 and organized Munjor Land Company. This creation lacked legal status and was succeeded by a corporate entity, the Munjor land and Grazing Company, which was chartered about OCTOBERober 11, 1882 at the suggestions of John Schuler, an advisor and benefactor for the early Munjor pioneers. Part of the section was surveyed by G.R. Wolf for the town site. Each lot owner was a member of the grazing use by all members. The charter provided for a 50-year life, a five-man board of directors with a president, secretary, and treasurer. The original capitalization called for $10,000 divided into 200 shares of $50 each. No interest in the company land holdings could be mortgaged, sold, or transferred without the consent of two-thirds of the membership. From the beginning this corporate creation experienced serious difficulties. The southern half of the section was sold on AUGUSTust 15, 1888. Controversy became so intense it pilled over into court litigation. In JANUARYuary, 1899 deeds were issued for the town lots only. This company’s internal conflicts split the community into two major factions. Peace was restored only after its dissolution. The founders wasted little time in arrangements for church services. They also prayed around a homemade cross under the open sky, but as early as 1877 succeeded in erecting a small 20 x 40 foot frame structure for church use. Rev. Fr. Valentine Sommereisen said mass in this building once a month. The Capuchins came in 1878 and have been in charge of the parish since then. Within a few years the parish added 16 feet to the original church. In 1889 this structure was replaced by the present stone church building. On 18 June, 2002, the author received a letter from Jutta von Essen, an archivist for the Cathedral and Diocesan Archives at Mainz, Germany, in response to a request for research of the Kranewitter (sic) family. In the letter, she said that she had found an entry for the 28 OCTOBERober, 1760, marriage between Johannes Kranewitter and Anna Elisabeth Sattler, recorded in the catholic parish register of Pfaffen-Wiesbach, a small town located about 20 miles north of Frankfurt in the German state of Hessen. The entry states that Johannes was the son of Martin Kranewitter, DECEMBEReased, and that Anna Elizabeth was the dAUGUSThter of Johannes Anton Sattler from the nearby village of Kransberg. Other records in the Pfaffen-Wiesbach register indicate that Johannes Anton Sattler from the nearby village of Kransberg. Other records in the Pfaffen-Wiesbach register indicate that Johannes and Anna Elisabeth (Sattler) Kranewitter had three dAUGUSThters, born between July of 1761 and JANUARYuary of 1766. After the birth announcement of the last dAUGUSThter, there are no more references to this Kranewitter family-a fact that can be explained by their migration to Russia in the latter part of 1766. Other records suggest that Johannes had a brother named Georg Wilhelm Kranewitter, who married and remained in the Pfaffen-Wiesbach area. These and other facts, along with supporting evidence, are outlined on the following pages, leading to the conclusion that the original settler in the Volga German colony of Obermonjou, Russia, bearing the surname Kranewitter was Johannes Kranewitter of Pfaffen-Wiesbach, Hessen, Germany, and that his wife was Anna Elisabeth Sattler of nearby Kransberg. When they arrived at Obermonjou on 3 AUGUSTust, 1767, they were not listed with any children: apparently, the three dAUGUSThters born in Pfaffen-Wiesbach had died before or during the trip from Germany to Russia. The town of Wertheim, Germany, which is the place of origin of the Leiker family of Obermonjou, lies two miles southwest of Pfannen-Wesbach. Other evidence indicates that the Leiker and Kranewitter families traveled in the same transport group to the Volga colonies. When the genealogical proof standard is applied to the data and evidence that are shown above and that are summarized on the following pages, it can be stated that beyond a reasonable doubt the German place of origin of Johannes and Elisabeth (Sattler) Kranewitter is the town of Pfaffen-Wiesbach.

She and Johannes Neulist had no children of their own but adopted Christian Minrad (Meinrad), an orphan from Solothurn (Wittmann).

When the 1798 census of Obermonjou was recorded Gerhard and his wife Dorotea Wagner were residing at the house of her parents Friedrich Wagner, 70, of Paninskaya (Schonchen) and Barbara Dinkel, 69. Next door to them was the of (Anna) Elisabeta Sattler and her second husband Johannes Neulist. Child 6 Katherina Krannewitter Born: 1779 In: Russia When the census of Obermonjou was taken Katherina was living in the house of her mother Anna Elizabeta Sattler and her stepfather Johannes Neulist. Johannes Krannewitter and his wife Anna Elizabeta Sattler arrived in the Volga-German colony of Obermonjou, Russia on 3, AUGUSTust 1767, registered No. 63 on the recorded list of the first settlers. Weisbach (Germany) was designated as Johannes' place of origin. At the end of the year 1767, Johannes gave his age as 36, and Anna Elizabeta gave hers as 29. This would indicate that he had been born about 1731, and she about 1738. Johannes listed his religion as Catholic and his occupation as baker (Pleve 1998). The Catholic settlement of Obermonjou was established on the east side of the Volga River--about 40 miles northeast of Saratov--by 82 families on 5 MARCH 1767. It was named for Major Otto Friedrich de Monjou, a Frenchman who had been employed by representatives of the Russian empress Catherine the Great tot recruit people from Germany who would settle the relatively empty expanses along the lower Volga River (Koch 1977). One of these settlers was Johannes Krannewitter from Weisbach, Germany. German online telephone listings reveal six town s named Weisbach (Teleauskunft 1999). In order to ascertain which of these towns Johannes Krannewitter came from, the author needed to examine the historical records that might bear reference to hiMARRIED The only German records that were kept and that would contain the needed genealogical information for the period in question--around 1720 to 1770--are Catholic parish records of baptisms and marriages. All of the parish and diocesan archives that contain data for these towns were contacted, and the researchers there investigated the files of these there from the early to the middle 1700s. Following is a description of the search. The Bezier (state) of Rheinland-Pfalz is the site of two towns called Weisbach, one of which is located about 10 miles northeast of the city of Zweibrucken. Diocesan records for that place have been kept since 1738, but registers there did not contain any references to individuals or families with the name Krannewitter or with any name spelled similarly (Mitsching 1998). The other town named Weisbach in Rheinland-Pfalz is located near the community of Bad Elms. It was designated on the online telephone listings but was not mentioned in Catholic parish records (Stenger 1999). There is a village called Weisbach near the town of Eppelborn in the state of SaarlanDIED In this village, which is situated about 10 miles north of Saarland, parish records contain no references to individuals named Krannewitter of anything similar (Pfarramt Eppelborn 1998). Three localities named Weisbach are located in the state of Bayern (Bavaria). A village called Wiesbach, which lies near the community of Ainring in Oberbayer (Upper Bavaria) had no parish records of families with the surname Krannewitter or anything similar (Pfister 1999). Another town called Weisbach, also Upper Bavaria, is located about 45 miles northeast of Munich. Researchers there would also find no parish records referring to families named Krannewitter or any similar spelling variant (Mai 1998). Diocesan researchers of the parish archives of the town just mentioned also examined the records for another village named Weisbach, which is about seven miles farther north. This village is situated in Niederbayern (Lower Bavaria) and lies just north of the line that SEPTEMBER rates Upper Bavaria from Lower Bavaria. Records for the parish includes the tiny hamlet of Weisbach, lower Bavaria, contain several references to families with surnames similar to Krannewitter living there at the time in question (Mai 1998). At least one of these families was living in the immediate area around Weisbach at the same time that Johannes Krannewitter was born (Mai 1998). Weisbach, Lower Bavaria, is situated in the extreme northwestern part of the Landkreis (County) of Eckenfelder and lies approximately 50 miles northeast of Munich. More precisely, it is located about one-mile west-southwest of the town of Obertrennbach and lies on the line between the county of Eckenfelder and the county of Vilsbiburg. Obertrennbach and Gangkofen, a town about three miles south, are the centers of the two Catholic parishes which contain references to Krannewitter families (Mai 1998; Hall 1978). No baptismal record for Johannes Krannewitter, born about 1731 as notes above, was uncovered by parish researchers. Gangkofen/Obertrennbach parish registers do, however, indicate that Adam Kronawitter (sic), an itinerant dragonet assigned to Mitterfels--a town about 40 miles to the north--and his wife Anna had a son named Michael Gronawitter (sic) (The surname was spelled differently in the same baptismal entry in the parish register.) who was baptized 3 MAY, 1731. The godfather was Michael Gruewinckler, a farmer from the village of Wettersdorf, which is located about one mile north of Weisbach across the line in the county of Vilsbiburg (Mai 1998). Michael Gronawitter, born 1731, would have been the same age as Johannes Krannewitter, who was 36 when he settled in Obermonjou, Russia, in 1767. Based on the fact that both men were the same age, the fact that men were from towns called Weisbach has records of families with surnames similar to Krannewitter, a hypothesis establishing a connection between these two individuals can be formulated: Perhaps the baptismal name of Johannes Krannewitter, the Russian immigrant, was Michael; and Johannes did not use his baptismal name in any of the civil documents recorded in Russia. These civil documents will be discussed in the next chapter. Records from Gangkofen list other baptisms of individuals with surnames similar to Krannewitter. Almost 20 years before the baptism of Michael Gronawitter, Anna Cronawetter (sic), dAUGUSThter of Matthias Cronawetter and his wife Kunigunde--residents of Holzreit--was baptized on 12 DECEMBERember, 1712. The godmother was Anna Aigner, wife of Christopher Aigner, a farmer from Holzreit (Mai 1998), Detailed maps of the Gangkofen/Obertrennbach area do not show a town named Holzreit (Hall 1978). Maria Barbara Kronewitter (sic), dAUGUSThter of Adam Cronewitter (sic)-- a retired, itinerant dragonet--and his wife Anna, was baptized 3 SEPTEMBERtember 1714. The godmother was Barbara Veichtner, wife of Jakob Velchtner, resident of the town of Malling (Mai 1998). Malling is located about three-fourths of a mile west of Weisbach (Hall 1978). (Based on the similarity of names and occupation, it is presumed that Adam and Anna Cronewitter were also the parents of Michael Gronawitter-mentioned above--who was born 17 years later. Thirty-three years later, on 1 SEPTEMBERtember 1747, Martin Krunerwitter (sic), son of Sebastian Krunerwitter--a vagabond--and his wife Elisabeth, was baptizeDIED The godfather was Martin Wiser, a merchant from Weisbach (Mai 1998). Adding to the strength of the hypothesis formulated above is the fact that the given names Adam, Michael, and Sebastian were repeated in the generations following Johannes Krannewitter, the Volga-German settler. The archive director of the Catholic records in the Regensburg bishoprics, which houses the Gangkofen/Obertrennbach registers, commented that due to the paucity of records for the Krannewitter families in the Weisbach area and due to the transitory nature of these families, further research would be difficult. Archivists also checked marriage records of the Gangkofen/Obertrennbach parishes and all the records of the several neighboring parishes; they failed to uncover any more references to Krannewitter families. The archive director recommended hiring a professional genealogist to uncover any more data (Mai 1998). In conclusion, it is significant that Gangkofen/Obertrennbach is the only Catholic parish in Germany, so far encountered by the author that includes both a town named Weisbach and records that refer to families with surnames that are spelling variants of Krannewitter. Regretfully, these records are isolate DIED As already stated, archive directors examined records in the five other German towns named Weisbach but failed to located any surnames similar to Krannewitter. Lamentable is the fact that no baptismal, birth, or marriage records of an individual named Johannes Krannewitter were uncover Died It is hoped that further research will resolve the riddle of his place of origin. Until then, it must remain pure speculation that Weisbach, in the parish of Obertrennbach, in the counties of Eckenfelder and Vilsbiburg, Lowered Bavaria, is the place of origin of Johannes Krannewitter. The 1798 revision list, or census, of Obermonjou, Russia, revealed the identitities of Johannes and Anna Elizabeta (Sattler) Krannewitter's children and the approximate time of Johannes' death. The 1798 census of Obermonjou will be discussed at length in each chapter. Margareta Krannewitter, 30, was apparently the oldest child of Johannes and Anna Elisabeta, according to information reported in the 1798 census. In the census, Margareta--who had been born around 1768, probably in Obermonjou--was listed as the wife of JoSEPTEMBERh Nurberger, 31. They were living at the house of Wilhelm Seib, 53, and his wife Anna Maria Hartman, 68. Josef was Anna Maria's son by her first husband Valentine Nurberger. Josef Nurnberger and Margareta Krannewitter were the parents of two dAUGUSThters; Margareta, four and Katherina, one and one-half (Rye 1995). Gerhard Krannewiter, 28, born about 1770, probably in Obermonjou, was evidently the only son of Johannes Krannewitter and his wife Dorotea Wagner, 22, were residing at the house of Dorotea's parents Friedrich Wagner, 70, from Paninskaya (Schoenchen), and Barbara Dinkel, 69. Gerhard was working for his father-in-law, who was noted as being unable to work. Listed with Gerhard and Dorotea was a son, Nikolaus, three. Next door to them was the house of Johannes Neulist, 43, and his wife Anna Elisabeta Sattler, 57. (In the 1767 list of the first settlers of Obermonjou-- which will also be discussed in the next chapter--Anna Elizabeta reported that age was 29, indicated that she had been born about 1738. Therefore, when the 1798 census was enumerated, she would have been around 60. Residing with Johannes Neulist and Anna Elisabeta sattler was Katherina Krannewitter, 19, noted as Anna Elisabeta's dAUGUSThter by her first husband Johannes Krannewitter. Also residing with them was Christian Minrad (Meinrad), four, an orphan from Solothurn (Wittman). Johannes Krannewitter's dAUGUSThter Katherine had been born about 1779. In the register of debts for annual payment accrued by the residents of Obermonjou--recorded 3 SEPTEMBERtember 1785--the name Johannes Krannewitte was not listed (Rye 1995). This would indicate that he had died sometime between 1779 and 1785. Anna Elizabeta Sattler died after 1798. According to later Obermonjou census data, which will be detailed in the next chapter, Gerhard Krannewitter and Dorotea Wagner had four more sons: Franz Krannewitter, born in 1800, Peter Krannewitter, born in 1802, Sebastian Krannewitter, born in 1804, and Johannes Krannewitter, born in 1812. They also had two dAUGUSThters: Margaretha born 1819, and Barbara born 1821 (Pleve 1998). Many descendants of these children migrated to North and South America, and many stayed in Russia. Johannes Krannawitter, BORN 1731, Wiesbach, Germany, Occupation: farmer, Baker, MARRIED c. 1766, Elisabeta Sattler, BORN 1738, Germany. Johannes died c. 1782, Obermonjou, Russia. Johannes and Anna Elisabeta arrived in Obermonjou 3 AUGUSTust, 1767. He listed his place of origin as Weisbach, Germany and his occupation as baker. He stated that he was a Catholic. His youngest dAUGUSThter Katharina was born in 1779. He was not listed in the register of Obermonjou residents compiled in 1785. This would indicated that he died sometime between 1779 and 1785. Elizabeta: When Anna Elisabeth and Johannes arrived in Obermonjou in 1767, she states she was 29, indicating that she had been born about 1738. In the 1798 census of Obermonjou, she stated that she was 57, indicated that her year of birth had been about 1741. After Johannes died, she married Johannes Neulist. She and Johannes Neulist had not children of their own but adopted Christian Minrad (Meinrad), an orphan from Solothurn (Wittmann). Children Margareta Krannawitter BORN 1768.

The reader will notice that in many instances in this book there are also several spellings for certain given names--for example, Catherine, Catharine, Catharina, Katharina, Catalina, etc. The reason for this is that each given name is presented as it was spelled in the record that it was extracted from, as are the surnames.

In the census Gerhard, 7, was listed at the house of parents Sebastian Krannewitter and Catherina (Brehm). In the 1850 OBERMONJOU census, Gerhard, 23, was listed with his wife Christina, 21. He is referred to in an 1878 letter from Anton BOOS to his son-in-law Adam Kranewitter of Valle Maria Argentina. Adam was Gerhard's brother. Children: Anna Margaret KRONEWITTer born 10 AUGUST 1856.

His youngest dAUGUSThter Katherine was BORN in 1779. He was not listed in a register of OBERMONJOU residents compiled in 1785. This would indicate that he died sometime between 1779 and 1785. Elizabeta and Johannes died, she MARRIED Johannes Neulist. She and Johannes Neulist have no children of their own but adopted Christian Minrad (Meinrad), an orphan from Solothurn (Wittmann). Children: Margareta Krannewitter born 1768 Gerhard Krannewitter born 1770 Katherine Krannewitter born 1779, RUSSIA.

Anna Margaret and her husband Conrad BEFORT moved to the U.S. in 1876. Informant (Barbara STEINBOCK). Many books and papers about other Volga German families and their descendants, have been published over the last fifty years, and are treasured documents for not only the serious researcher, but also those with a passing interest as well. This book is one the descendants of one KRANNAWITER left Germany to go to RUSSIA. While every effort has been made in this compilation to provide accurate and complete information, endeavors to acquire additional facts and details from both the United States and European sources continue. Any omission of person (s), places, or events that deserve inclusion be rein is purely unintentional. This is the story of a Volga-German family named KRANNAWITTER. In the chapters which follow, I have attempted to trace the development of the family from the 1766 migration to RUSSIA, through the four-generation sojourn along the Volga River, to migration to America. While gathering genealogical information for this book, I have had the opportunity to contact many members of this family living in different parts of the U.S., in Canada, and in Argentina. I have also corresponded with members of this family who remained in RUSSIA. During my research, I have come across six different ways of spelling the surname among my relatives; Krannewitter, as spelled in the original RUSSIAN censuses; KRANNAWITTER, as spelled by members of my own family; Kronewitter, as spelled by cousins descended from my great-uncle; Kronewitter, as spelled by cousins in Colorado. Kronewitt; as spelled by relatives in Canada; and Kranewitter, as spelled by relatives in Argentina and by relatives who stayed in RUSSIA. Members of all these families have contributed information making this book possible. Biographical sketches detail the lives of selected people from these different families and areas. Attention is also devoted to the hundreds of unrelated American and European families who bear surnames similar to KRANNAWITTER--with such spellings as Kronawitter, Kronawetter, Kranebitter, Cronenwett, Kronebitter, Kronenwett, Kronewetter, and Kranawetter. Finally, maps and photographs provide a visual representation of the places and people referred to. I certainly enjoyed putting it together. This book is the end result of years of research into the origin and dispersal of the KRANNAWITTER family. This INTRODUCTION contains a brief description of the twelve chapters and two final sections of this book. Within each chapter, in the even that any information was obtained from published material or from correspondence with official agencies, the particular source is cited Much of the data used in this genealogical report was also taken from personal letters and family records; these sources, too, are duly cited All of the sources used to compile this book, including those not specifically cited within the chapters, aware recorded in the bibliographic list at the end of the book. The author wishes to express her sincere gratitude to all the people who made this report possible. Any omissions or mistakes are unintentional. Special care has been given to citing all the people responsible for the compilation of this work. The members of the KRANNAWITTER, Kronewitter/Kronwitter/Kronewitt/Kranewitter families that came to America from the Volga-German colonies in RUSSIA were among thousands of ethnic Germans from RUSSIA who emigrated in search of freedom from 1875 up to the time of the RUSSIAN Revolution. The variant spellings of the KRANNAWITTER surname evolved as family members who had moved to different parts of North and South America gradually lost contact with each other. In the earliest RUSSIAN records, the name was spelled KRANNAWITTER. All the American spellings that eventually developed differed slightly from this original version. Later in this introduction, more attention will be given to the subject of the dispersal of this family and different spellings that ensueDIED For the make of simplicity, in this report the surname will be referred to generically as KRANNAWITTER unless a specific family with an alternative spelling is being discusseDIED Evidence seems to indicate, although not incontrovertibly, that the KRANNAWITTER family that migrated to the Volga colonies of RUSSIA originated in Wiesbach, a small German village in lowered Bavaria situated about 50 miles northeast of Munich. (See figure 29.) Chapter one of this book, WIESBACH, LOWER BAVARIA< GERMANY; THE PROBABLE PLACE OF ORIGIN OF THE VOLGA-GERMAN IMMIGRANT JOHANNES KRANNEWITTER (1731-EA. 1782), ANALYZES THE RESEARCH that led to this tentative conclusion (Pleve 1998). According to records contained in Catholic parish archives in Germany, Adam Kronawitter and his wife Anna _______-were parents of Michael Gronawitter (the surname was spelled differently even in the same baptismal entry.), baptized 3 MAY, 1731, at the church serving the parish of Obertrennbach, where Weisbach was locateDIED The entry stated that Adam Kronawitter was a dragonet in the army (presumably the Bavarian army) and had been stationed at Mitterfels, a town about 40 miles north of Weisbach and about 20 miles east of the city of Regensburg (Mai (Dr. Paul) 1998). The Catholic archives referred to aware the only sauce of records of so early date in Germany. Johannes Krannewitter was the name of the man who migrated from Germany to RUSSIA, as listed in the roster of the original settlers of the Volga-German colony of OBERMONJOU, where he settled in 1767. Upon arrival at the colony on AUGUSTUST, 1767, he stated that he was 36 years of age, that he was a Catholic, that he was from Weisbach (Germany), and that he was a baker by trade. Anna _______-, his wife, was 29 years of age (Pleve 1998). The author corresponded with the directors of the diocesan archives that house Catholic parish records were the only records kept in these towns in the early years. The only Weisbach that had records of any KRANNAWITTER (or any other similar spelling of that surname) families living in close proximity was the village mentioned above. Michael Gronawitter, baptized in 1731--according to records in Weisbach, Lower Bavaria--would have been 36 in 1767, as Johannes Krannewitter indicated that he was when he settled in OBERMONJOU in 1767. In German naming practice at the time of Johannes Krannewitter's migration, men were often given two names and would refer to themselves in official documents by either or both of these names. It is highly plausible that Johannes and Michael were one and the same. Johannes Michael was a common given-name combination. Since the Catholic Church in OBERMONJOU available for that early a date, it is impossible to verify this claim using those sources (Pleve 1999). Only circumstantial evidence can be used to provide further support for the assumption that Johannes and Michael was the same person. Particularly relevant is the fact that the information about Johannes Krannewiter's place or origin was extracted from the list of the first settlers of OBERMONJOU (PLeve 1998). The place of origin was extracted from the list of the first settlers of OBERMONJOU (Pleve 1998). The place of origin named in this source is by and large more specific and more reliable than that listed in the other principal source of information about the early German migrants to the Volga colonies; the Ivan Kuhlberg records, which were ship passeWASINGER lists prepared in 1766 when the first-settlers list is usually the place of birth, which makes it easier to find a connection in Germany (Schmidt 1998). At any rate, thanks to early RUSSIAN census records an unbroken line can be traced from Johannes and Anna Krannewitter to most of the families descended from the MARRIED Dr. Igor Pleve, who is on the faculty of Saratov State University and is an expert in Volga-German research, and the American Historical Society of Germans from RUSSIA (AHSGR) based in Lincoln, Nebraska, have been instrumental in providing information drawn from these early censuses. The AHSGR has published 1798 census data for OBERMONJOU and for the other Volga-German colonies (Rye 1995; Pleve 1998). Chapter Two of this book, EARLY VOLGA-GERMAN RECORDS USED IN THIS GENEOLOGICAL REPORT, focuses on four early sources that were referred to during the research process; and it summarizes the information taken from these records. Later censuses, or "revision lists" of earlier enumerations, were taken in the years 1816, 1834, and 1850 (Mai (Brent) 1998; Pleve 1998; Rye 1995; Leiker 1999; Rupp 1999). From this RUSSIAN data and from death, census, church, family, and other records of family members who later moved to America, pedigree charts have been made fro three related OBERMONJOU families; KRANNAWITTER, DECEMBERHANT, and Brull; these charts are included in Chapter Two (See figures 1, 2, and 3). A genealogical profile of KRANNAWITTER families living in the U.S., Canada, Argentina, RUSSIA, Kazakhstan, and Germany who aware descended from Johannes and Anna Elizabeta Krannewitter is contained in CHAPTER THREE,,AN ELEVEN-GENERATION REGISTER OF SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JOHANNES AND ANNA ELISABETA (SATTLER) KRANNEWITTER. This chapter consists of a computer-generated report of eleven generations. All the sources used to compile this data aware included in the bibliographic list. Many of the families are traced through only a few generations. Before discussing any more of the content of the book, the author would like to present an abbreviated history of the Volga German colonies and in this way provide a historical backdrop for the benefit of the reader. The information which follows was taken from two excellent books written about the Volga-German colonies: Wir Wollen Deutsche Bleiben, by George J. Walters, 1982; and The German Colonies on the Lower Volga, by Gottlieb Beratz, 1914, translated by Leona W. Pfeifer, Lavern J. Ripley, and Dona Reeves-Marquardt, edited by Adam GiesiWASINGER, all of whom worked in cooperation with the AHSGR (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). The ancestors of the Volga Germans were among an estimated 27, 000 Western Europeans, primarily Germans, who migrated to RUSSIA from 1764 to 1767 upon the invitation of the RUSSIAN empress Catherine II, better known as Catherine the Great. The Catholic settlement of OBERMONJOU, which was the home of all the KRANNAWITTER families that later migrated to America, was one of 104 Mother Colonies--32 Catholic and 72 Protestant--established by these immigrants on both sides of the lower Volga River. OBERMONJOU was one of 27 colonies founded in 1766 and 1767 by Chevailer Caneau de Beauregard, a native of Switzerland who directed a French company employed by the RUSSIAN government to recruit colonists. The subdivision in which these 27 colonies were located was called the Fief de Catherine. OBERMONJOU, which was named for the French recruiting agent Otto de Monjou, was founded 5 MARCH, 1767, by 82 families, including 160 males and 139 females, for a total of 299 (Stump 1978). OBERMONJOU was located about 40 miles northeast of the city of Sartov and was situated on the east side, or Wiesenseite (meadow side), of the Volga River. (See figure 30.) The west side of the Volga River was known as the Bergseite (hilly side) (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). To temp the war-weary farmers, merchants, artisans, and soldiers of Germany and other European countries, Catherine the Great--a German herself--issued official edicts that offered free communal land, paid travel expenses, freedom of religion (as long as the people were Christians), freedom of self-government, and the opportunity to carry on one's particulate trade (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). Upon arrival in Oranienbaum, a seaport near St. Petersburg, RUSSIA, the colonists--After a difficult land and sea journey from recruiting points in Germany--received the first of many setbacks they would encounter. They were informed by the RUSSIAN Commissar Ivan Kuhlberg, who served as Catherine's official spokesman to the settlers that they would all have to become farmers, regardless of Catherine and her immediate successors. These pan-Slavic circles had grown suspicious and envious of the prosperous Volga Germans, who lost the liberty to rule themselves, to instruct their children in the German language, and to avoid conscription into the RUSSIAN army. The abrogation of these concessions prompted the Volga Germans to take advantage of an escape clause in the second of Catherine's two manifestos of invitations: the right to quit RUSSIA at any time After paying a tax on profits made in the empire. One of the destinations this time, After careful consideration and exploration by a group of scouts appointed by the colonists, was North America--specifically the fertile Great Plains of the U.S. Others chose to migrate to South America, where they settled in Brazil and Argentina (Walters 1982). Typical of the movement was the settlement of Ellis and Rush counties in Kansas, where between three and four thousand Catholic Volga Germans eventually locateDIED They founded the settlements of Herzog (Victoria), MUNJOR AND KANSAS, Katherinestadt, (Catherine), Liebenthal, Schoenchen, and Pfeifer (Walters 1982). Several KRANNAWITTER families and individuals from OBERMONJOU are known to have migrated to America. The following paragraphs detail the dates of their arrivals, their ultimate destinations, and the different spellings of the surname they utilizeDIED The number in superscript between the immigrant's given name and surname indicate the number of his or her generation of descent from Johannes Krannewitter, the original Volga-German settler. The parentheses After the immigrant's surname enclose a complete list of the names and generation numbers of each of his or her KRANNAWITTER ancestors leading up to Johannes Krannewitter. This is same pattern will be used throughout this book--except when the type must be single-spaced, in which event brackets will enclose the number of the generation of descent. Chapter Three, entitled AN ELEVEN-GENERATION REGISTER OF SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JAHANNES KRANNEWITTER AND ANNA ELIZABETA SATTLER, contains a complete description of each KRANNAWITTER immigrant's family. Brothers Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER both move to the U.S. albeit at different times. Johannes came to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS as single man in 1876. One of the original settlers of MUNJOR AND KANSAS, Kansas, he later MARRIED Helen Leiker. Raymond came to Ellis county 1901 with his second wife Mary Krapp, son John KRANNAWITTER (who was Raymond's son by his first wife Maria Catherine DECEMBERHANT--John is the author's grandfather), and dAUGUSThters JULYia and Rosa Kronewitter (who were the oldest children of Raymond and Mary). Later, another dAUGUSThter, Katherine Kronewitter, and a son, JOSEPTEMBERHh Kronewitter, were BORN in the U.S. JOSEPTEMBERHh and his sisters spelled their name Kronewitter, as do their descendants today. Raymond's brother Johannes and his family migrated to the U.S. in 1901, they spent a short time in ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS; then they, too, moved to New Mexico where Raymond worked with his brother. In 1907, Raymond and his family moved back to Ellis County and settled near Schoenchen. Many years later, one of Johannes' sons, Michael KRANNAWITTER, also moved back to Ellis County and settled near Severin, located about five miles northwest of Catherine. Stories The rest of Johannes' children remained in New Mexico, but he and his wife also eventually returned to Ellis County where they settled in HAYS, the county seat (Pleve 1998; KRANNAWITTER (Michael J. 1993.) Margareta KRANNAWITTER, widow of Johann Leiker, moved to MUNJOR AND KANSAS, ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, with her children in 1876. Her son, Peter Leiker, was one of the five scouts sent in 1874 by the Catholic Volga-German colonies to explore the possibilities of establishing settlements in the central plains of the U.S. (Pleve 1998; Leiker (Victor C. 1976.) Magdalena YouWASINGER, widow of Franz Krannewitter, accompanied her dAUGUSThter Barbara Krannewitter and Barbara's husband John Pfannnensteil to MUNJOR AND KANSAS, Kansas, by 1880. Franz was the brother of Johannes Krannewitter who was the father of Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER, discussed above. (Pleve 1998; Meyer 1976). Maria Elizabeth Krannewitter (Kronewitter) was the sister of Franz and Johannes mentioned in the paragraph above. She and her husband John ROHR also moved to MUNJOR AND KANSAS by 1880 (Pleve 1998; Meyer 1976). In 1878, brothers Michael and JOSEPTEMBERHh Kranewitter--who were brothers of the U.S. immigrants Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER discussed above--migrated to the province of Entre Rios, Argentina, with their adoptive parents JOSEPTEMBERHh and Catalina (Unrein) Wendler. They were among the founders of the Volga-German settlement of Marienthal (Valle Maria), located about 25 miles south of the city of Parana (Wendler 1990; Kranewitter (Vicente) 1990). Raphael Kranewitter--who was probably the brother of Johannes, Raymond, Michael, and JOSEPTEMBERHh--remained in RUSSIA. His descendents are profiled in Chapter five (Dreher Katharina) 1995). Adam Kranewitter and his family moved to Valle Maria, Argentina, in 1878. They were also among the founders of that settlement (Pleve 1998; Kranewitter (Vincent) 1990. Johannes "Weisse" Kranewitter and his wife Margaretha C. Leiker migrated to Valle Maria in 1880. John Conrad Kranewitter and his family also migrated to Brazil in 1877 and then to Valle Maria in 1880 (PLeve 1998; Kranewitter (Vicente 1990). Raymond Kronewitt moved first to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, in 1902, and later to the Peace River valley of Alberta, Canada, in 1913. Raymond's aunt Anna Maria Krannewitter and her husband John Boos and their children migrated to Ellis County in 1892. Raymond Kronewitt's first cousins Peter and Frank Kronwitter moved to the U.S.--Peter in 1903 and Frank in 1904. Peter and his wife Dorothea Boos returned to RUSSIA in 1924 and DIED there. One of their dAUGUSThters Anna Kron (e)witter and her husband John DECEMBERHANT moved to the Peace River valley of Alberta in 1915. Peter's brother Frank Kronwitter and his family settled in Pueblo, Colorado. (See Chapter Five). (Pleve 1998; Krapp; 1986; DECEMBERHANT 1987). Present-day descendants of the five KRANNAWITTER/Kron(e)witter families who migrated to North America, the six Kranewitter families who migrated to South America and two of the Kranewitter families stayed in RUSSIA are listed in Chapters Four and Five. Chapter four, current listings of related Volga-German families and individuals, as well as the many U.S. families that have variant spellings of the surname and do not have an obvious connection to the Volga-German families. The families are ranked according to the frequency of appearance of each particular spelling in the U.S. telephone directories or in other U.S. indexes. Also discussed are the areas in the U.S. where there are high concentrations of these families. Various IMMIGRATION records, the social security Death index, and listings found on the internet were also used to compile this data. Chapter five, A FOCUS On RELATED KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON RELATED KRAANEWITTER FAMILIES LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND GERMANY, provides up-to-date listings of the Kronewitt families in Canada, Kranewitter families in Argentina, and Kranewitter families who chose to remain in what later became the Soviet Union. The information for the American Kronewitt and Kranewitter descendents came from Internet directories. The information for the RUSSIAN Kranewitter descendants came from private correspondence. These RUSSIAN families underwent terrible ordeals to attain their present positions. Between 1876 and 1914, around 200,000 Volga Germans migrated to Siberia, the U.S. Canada, and countries in South America. The number of Volga Germans that remained in what later became the Volga German Republic increased to around 600,000 in 1914. In 1912, the population of OBERMONJOU had reached 2,882. By 1926, it had fallen to 2,157, due largely to a deadly famine that had swept through the Volga colonies, which were already devastated by crop failures in 1920 and 1921. The previous disastrous effects of WWI and the resulting civil strife and anti-German sentiment added to the misfortunes of the German settlers. The tyrannical policies of Josef Stalin--brutally enforced by his communist cohorts, another widespread famine in 1932, the con scription of the young men of the towns into the Soviet army, and the banishment of property holders to prison camps all contributed to the steady DECEMBERline of OBERMONJOU and the other VoLGAerman towns. The final blow came during WWII when the German army was approaching the Volga region. Stalin, fearing collaboration of the Volga Germans with the enemy, ordered the banishment of the entire population in AUGUSTUST, 1941, along with the abrogation of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans were resettled in Siberia and Kazashstan (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). Among those people resettled were several Kranewitter families. The author has contacted two descendants of these families: Vladimir Kranewitter and Katherine Dreher. Their story and the story of other relatives still living in RUSSIA and Kazakhstan aware recounted in Chapter 5, A FOCUS ON RELATED KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON RELATED KRANEWITTER FAMILIES LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND GERMANY. Now that the RUSSIAN Government has eased restrictions on the German minority, more are trickling back to the former Volga German Republic near Savator. However, because the RUSSIAN economic situation is so bleak at the present time, many others are filling out the countless forms and submitting the endless documents necessary to immigrate to Germany. Katharina Dreher, mentioned above, and her family have joined the thousands of Volga Germans who have returned to their motherlanDIED Chapter Six, OTHER FAMILIES WITH VARIANT SPELLINGS OF THE KRANNAWITTER SURNAME LIVING IN EURAOPE AND SOUTH AMERICA, contains statistics on the hundreds of families scattered throughout Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Paraguay who have different versions of the surname KRANNAWITTER. These families and individuals are not obviously related to the Krannewitter couple that settled in OBERMONJOU, RUSSIA, in 1767, Any concentration of families with a similar spelling of the surname is noteDIED Sources for this information were also telephone directories found on the internet. Chapter seven, A TRIBUTE TO WILFRED W. KRANNAWITTER (1924-1970), RADIOMAN SECOND CLASS, U.S.S. SARASOTA APA 204, WWII, IS A MEMORIAL to the author's father. Wilfred W. ("Willie") KRANNAWITTER served in the south Pacific at the end of WWII. His ship, the Attack Transport U.S.S. Sarasota APA 204, took part in the battle of WWII-- the Battle of Okinawa. This chapter includes an itinerary of all the ports of call and war-time duties of the Sarasota. Also included are photographs, a history of the Sarasota's post-war activities, and an artistic rendition of the ship itself. After the war, Wilfred bought land and went into farming and stock rising. He later fought a personal battle against the neurological disease Guillain-Barre Syndrome for 17 years before it claimed his life in 1970. (See figures 22-24). CHAPTER EIGHT, BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF TWELVE NOTED KRANNAWITTER, KRANEWITTER, KRONEWITT, AND KRONA WITTER INDIVIDUALS IN THE U.S., CANADA, ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, AUSTRIA, GERMANY, AND AUSTRIA, contains information about the lives of eight notable Volga-German relatives: three descended from the Kronewitt family that migrated to Argentina, and one descended from one of the Kranewitter families that remained in RUSSIA. Four unrelated but equally distinguished individuals are also treated: three with the surname Kranewitter and one with the surname Kroneawitter. Chapter Nine, ETYMOLOGY REFERENCES AND GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS IN EURAOPE AND THE U.S. THAT RELATE TO THE SURNAME KRANNAWITTER, includes entries taken from three etymological dictionaries that deal with surnames. Four geographical locations are also described: the hamlet of Kanawitt in Upper Bavaria, Germany: the mountain peak Kranabitsattel in the Hollengebirge mountains of Upper Austria, Austria; the airport Innsbruck-Kranebitten near Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria, and Kronenwetter Township in Narathon County, Wisconsin. Chapter Ten, THE KRANEWITTER COAT-OF-ARMS, AWARDED TO THE TYROLEAN COUSINS HANS AND WOLFGANG KRANEWITTER IN 1630, relates the story of the cousins Hans Kranewitter and Wolfgang Kranebitter who received a coat-of-arms in recognition of service rendered to the Austrian crown in its struggle in the neighboring Engadin region in SwitzerlanDIED The Kranewitter coat-of-arms was obtained in 1950 by Richard MARRIED KRANNAWITTER (1909-1991) while he was in Germany with the judge Advocate office at the end of WWII. The relationship between the original Volga-German settler Johannes Krannewitter and the cousins Hans and Wolfgang Kranewitter is unknown. Chapter 11, MAPS PF FORMER AND PRESENT PLACES OF RESIDENCE OF KRANNAWITTER FAMILIES IN GERMANY, RUSSIA, THE U.S., CANADA, AND ARGENTINA, includes 13 maps displaying the former and current homes of Krannewitter/Kranewitter/KRANNAWITTER/Kronewitter/Kronewitt families in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America. These maps, which are taken from a variety of sources, show the historical migration of the family from the original home in Germany, to the lower Volga River valley of RUSSIA, to other parts of the former Soviet Union, and to the colonies centered in ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS; entre Rios, Argentina; and Alberta, Canada. (See figures 29-35.) Chapter Twelve, PHOTOGRGRAPHS OF KRANNAWITTER DESCENDANTS IN THE U.S., CANADA, ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, GERMANY, contains photographs of some of the KRANNAWITTER/Kronewitt/Kranewitter families and individuals that migrated from the Volga-German colonies to the U.S., Canada, and Argentina. Other photographs are of descendants of these same families living in the U.S., Canada, Argentina, and RUSSIA. (See figures 36-58). The BIBLIOGRAPHY LIST is an alphabetical arrangement of every source used to compile this book. The list includes books, booklets, Magazine articles, Internet Websites, death records, published and unpublished family histories, private correspondence, census, and other records. The last section of this book is a surname index which consists of an alphabetical list of the surname KRANNAWITTER have already been discussed in this introduction. The reader will notice that in many instances in this book there are also several spellings for certain given names--for example, Catherine, Catharine, Catharina, Katharina, Catalina, etc. The reason for this is that each given name is presented as it was spelled in the record that it was extracted from, as are the surnames. To make matters worse, from 1773 to 1775 Emyliano Pugachev and his followers staged a rebellion against Catherine. They also encouraged the Kirghiz to stage a rebellion of their own. Intensifying raids against the German settlements. Large areas of the Volga colonists were devastateDIED Some of Pugachev's followers, including about 100 Germans recruited from other Volga colonies, entered the town of Katherinenstadt, where they harassed and robbed the inhabitants of horses and guns. Katherinenstadt, the largest of the Volga colonists on the Wiesenseite, was only about five miles southwest of OBERMONJOU. Amid all these tragedies, men totally unaccustomed to the rigors of farming were forced to learn that trade. Crop failures in the early years added to the colonists' desperation (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). After two generations of colonists had lived and DIED, conditions for the German settlers along the lower Volga slowly began to improve. They eventually prevailed and prospereDIED As the original Mother Colonies became too crowded, DAUGUSThter Colonies were establisheDIED Fortunately, the colony of OBERMONJOU was never attacked by Kirghiz or by Pugachev's rebels. In 1767, 299 people (82 families) had founded OBERMONJOU. Two years later, the population was 324 (91 families). By 1798, when the first comprehensive census of OBERMONJOU was taken, the population had grown to 429. Through the 19th century, the population steadily increased as living conditions improveDIED But the good times were soon to end (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). The number of Volga Germans that remained in what later became the Volga German Republic increased to around 600,000 in 1914. In 1912, the population of OBERMONJOU had reached 2,882. By 1926, it had fallen to 2,157, due largely to a deadly famine that had swept through the Volga colonies, which were already devastated by crop failures in 1920 and 1921. The previous disastrous effects of WWI and the resulting civil strife and anti-German sentiment added to the misfortunes of the German settlers. The tyrannical policies of Josef Stalin--brutally enforced by his communist cohorts, another widespread famine in 1932, the con scription of the young men of the towns into the Soviet army, and the banishment of property holders to prison camps all contributed to the steady DECEMBERline of OBERMONJOU and the other Volga-German towns. The final blow came during WWII when the German army was approaching the Volga region. Stalin, fearing collaboration of the Volga Germans with the enemy, ordered the banishment of the entire population in AUGUSTUST, 1941, along with the abrogation of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans were resettled in Siberia and Kazakhstan (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). Among those people resettled were several Kranewitter families. The author has contacted two descendants of these families: Vladimir Kranewitter and Katherine Dreher. Their story and the story of other relatives still living in RUSSIA and Kazakhstan aware recounted in Chapter 5, A FOCUS ON RELATED KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON RELATED KRANEWITTER FAMILIES LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND GERMANY. Now that the RUSSIAN Government has eased restrictions on the German minority, more are trickling back to the former Volga German Republic near Savator. However, because the RUSSIAN economic situation is so bleak at the present time, many others are filling out the countless forms and submitting the endless documents necessary to immigrate to Germany. Katharina Dreher, mentioned above, and her family have joined the thousands of Volga Germans who have returned to their motherlanDIED Chapter Six, OTHER FAMILIES WITH VARIANT SPELLINGS OF THE KRANNAWITTER SURNAME LIVING IN EURAOPE AND SOUTH AMERICA, contains statistics on the hundreds of families scattered throughout Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Paraguay who have different versions of the surname KRANNAWITTER. These families and individuals are not obviously related to the Krannewitter couple that settled in OBERMONJOU, RUSSIA, in 1767, Any concentration of families with a similar spelling of the surname is noteDIED Sources for this information were also telephone directories found on the internet.

Chapter Ten, THE KRANEWITTER COAT-OF-ARMS, AWARDED TO THE TYROLEAN COUSINS HANS AND WOLFGANG KRANEWITTER IN 1630, relates the story of the cousins Hans Kranewitter and Wolfgang Kranebitter who received a coat-of-arms in recognition of service rendered to the Austrian crown in its struggle in the neighboring Engadin region in SwitzerlanDIED The Kranewitter coat-of-arms was obtained in 1950 by Richard MARRIED KRANNAWITTER (1909-1991) while he was in Germany with the judge Advocate office at the end of WWII. The relationship between the original Volga-German settler Johannes Krannewitter and the cousins Hans and Wolfgang Kranewitter is unknown.

They brought with them a dAUGUSThter, Barbara Steinbock who was born June 3, 1893 who was 11 years old and Henry Steinbock who was born: date unknown. There was another child born to them in Russia who died there. They settled in Wamego, Kansas as Alois was a railroader. On NOVEMBERember 3, 1906, his wife, Elizabeth gave birth to Triplets: two boys and a girl. Their names were Adam, Susanna and Joseph. Alois's wife, Elizabeth died on NOVEMBER 16, 1906. Alois didn't have the means to care for the triplets and work, too, so he wanted them to be adopted by Catholic families. Susanna was adopted by: George and Barbara Prockish and the boys still hadn't been adopted They were all baptized on NOVEMBER 5, 1906 at St. Bernard’s Church, Wamego, Kansas. Sponsors were: Adam Reichenborn, Mrs. George Gareis and Joseph Macht. Susanna got ill and died FEBRUARY 28, 1907 at Wamego, Kans. Susanna and her Mother are buried on the same plot at the Wamego cemetery. NOTE: Aunt JANUARY Gottschalk looked up this information in 1995 and located the grave and put a tombstone there. I have certificates of births, Baptisms and newspaper articles of Elizabeth and Susanna on their death, and church records of the cemetery plots all obtained from Aunt JANUARY Gottschalk, Hays, Kansas Then in 1907, Alois, Barbara and Henry headed west and there's where he met and married Agatha Wasinger Werth on JANUARY. 15, 1909. Barbara would have been 15 years old at this time. It has been said that Barbara was doing housekeeping for the Bahl's, possibly her stepmother's sister Annie Bahl and, as the story goes, there was a Werth in Schoenchen who was a matchmaker and got John C.

I do know he and his wife, Mary, had two dAUGUSThters and lived in Chicago, Ill. I have the original photos of Henry and Mary and another one of Henry, Mary and the two girls. I also have the large oval pictures of Barbara and John C. Befort on their wedding day and one of Henry Steinbock. I would like to find the members down from Henry if anyone can help me obtain this information. I was told he died in the 1960's. NOTE; Aunt JANUARY Gottschalk never could find where Alois Steinbock was buried or where the two boys were placed I have two people working on the Aloysius Steinbock genealogy from the Topeka area as of this week. According to church records, he spelled his name Aloysius. Mother. And yes, the last name was spelled wrong in Mothers obituary, but I was over- ruled on that. I was disgusted when I found out the truth after the fact when I went through Mother's things and found some letters written to my Mother from Grace Steinbock. I didn't know her Uncle Joe and Aunt Grace, but when I came upon these letters, I sent Grace a letter and obituary advising her of Mothers death. Then one day, I got a call from Grace and we talked for an hour. I did get to meet her July 1, 2002, just a few weeks ago. This is where I got all these writings. Very interesting.

TRADITIONS OBERMONJOUr in RUSSIA was founded in 1766. It was located on the valley side of the Volga, the first village north of Katherinestaadt. According to an account by Victor LEIKER, a New Jersey Journalist and a native of MUNJOR, Kansas in the AHSGR Work Paper No., 5, Feborn 1972, the town in RUSSIA was named after a Frenchman named MUNJOR, a land agent for Catherine the Great. Eventually the town had a population of 3,000. Mr. LEIKER says that a young OBERMONJOUr lad who survived Siberia and was able to visit the Volga a few years ago, wrote his uncle in Germany as follows: "I could not even find where our village had been. It is as though nature has returned the land to the plains as they once were, without a tree, or a smokestack or a road or even a rusty pipe marking the village we loved so much." In 1876 the following families founded MUNJOR in Kansas. BEFORT; BINDER; DECHANT; DOEFLER; Eberle; ENGEL; Gabel; Graf; GROSS; Herl; HERTEL; Klaus; Korbe; KRANNAWITTER; Lieker; PFANNENSTIEL; Miller; Riedel; ROHR; Ruder; Rupp; SCHUMACHER; Schreibvogel; Stoecklein; Unrein; Urban; Wasinger; Yunker; GOETZ. Not all of the founders of MUNJOR, Kansas came from Obermounjour in RUSSIA. Some came from Wittman, Schoenchen, Marienthal, and Herzog on the Volga. The Grabbe family came directly from Germany. Peter LEIKER of OBERMONJOUr was ONE of the FIVE explorers who came to America in 1876 to look for a suitable place to settle. When the settlers arrived, they were for the most part poor, and the first order of business was to build shelters for their families, which were house constructed from sod and tree saplings from Big Creek. In 1926 a model sod house was built on the campus of Ft. Hays College to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the coming of the German-RUSSIAns to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS. A lady from the east who stopped to see the sod house remarked, "Oh my Goodness, how could anyONE develop in a thing like this?" Joe Linenberger of Victoria a man 6' 3" tall and weighing about 225 lbs. overheard the remark and said,” Lady I am a specimen that grew up in ONE of these sod houses and I could crush every bONE in your body with ONE hanDIED: Contrary to what was said, these houses were fairly comfortable. The floor was bare, and in ONE of the rooms was a large stove used for baking and cooking. The interior of the house was whitewashed, and the entire house kept neat and clean. On of the most noted characteristics about MUNJOR in America was its find church choir. Clemens Wasinger and his son Paul were directors for over 50 years. Nick J. PFANNENSTIEL whom many considered the finest TENor in ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, led the singers. He retired in Hays and in 1956, Nick and this writer compiled a book of approximately 150 German-RUSSIAn folk songs. MUNJOR was another ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS town that was proud of its fine baseball teams through the years. There were many fine players, but let it suffice here to say that many felt John Riedel and Martin LEIKER could both have been professional ball players had they been given the opportunity. Nick J. PFANNENSTIEL, Joe BORN PFANNENSTIEL (604 E. 15th.) had fine race horses, and did much harness racing at county fairs and other events. Today, many of the best citizens of ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS originate from this quaint little village located 6 miles southeast of Hays on the banks of Big Creek. Our forefathers who left Germany to go to RUSSIA to make a better life for themselves and their children. It is dedicated as well to our brave forefathers who left RUSSIA to make a better life for themselves and their children in the United States. It is especially dedicated to those of our relatives who stayed in RUSSIA and endured over fifty years exiled in prison work camps for their crime of being of German ancestry. Forward Many books and papers about other Volga German families and their descendants, have been published over the last fifty years, and are treasured documents for not only the serious researcher, but also those with a passing interest as well. This book is ONE the descendants of ONE BEFORT family that left Germany to go to RUSSIA. While every effort has been made in this compilation to provide accurate and complete information, endeavors to acquire additional facts and details from both the United States and European sources continue. Any omission of person (s), places, or events that deserve inclusion be rein is purely uninTENtional. This is the story of a Volga-German family named KRANNAWITTER. In the chapters which follow, I have attempted to trace the development of the family from the 1766 migration to RUSSIA, through the FOUR-generation sojourn along the Volga River, to migration to America. While gathering genealogical information for this book, I have had the opportunity to contact many members of this family living in different parts of the U.S., in Canada, and in Argentina. I have also corresponded with members of this family who remained in RUSSIA. During my research, I have come across SIX different ways of spelling the surname among my relatives; Krannewitter, as spelled in the original RUSSIAn censuses; KRANNAWITTER, as spelled by members of my own family; KRONEWITTer, as spelled by cousins descended from my great-uncle; KRONEWITTer, as spelled by cousins in Colorado. KRONEWITT; as spelled by relatives in Canada; and Kranewitter, as spelled by relatives in Argentina and by relatives who stayed in RUSSIA. Members of all these families have contributed information making this book possible. Biographical sketches detail the lives of selected people from these different families and areas. AtTENtion is also devoted to the hundreds of unrelated American and European families who bear surnames similar to KRANNAWITTER--with such spellings as Kronawitter, Kronawetter, Kranebitter, CrONEnwett, KrONEbitter, KrONEnwett, KrONEwetter, and Kranawetter. Finally, maps and photographs provide a visual representation of the places and people referred to. I certainly enjoyed putting it together This book is the end result of years of research into the origin and dispersal of the KRANNAWITTER family. This INTRODUCTION contains a brief description of the TWELVE chapters and TWO final sections of this book. Within each chapter, in the even that any information was obtained from published material or from correspondence with official agencies, the particular source is citeDIED Much of the data used in this genealogical report was also taken from personal letters and family records; these sources, too, are duly citeDIED All of the sources used to compile this book, including those not specifically cited within the chapters, are recorded in the bibliographic list at the end of the book. The author wishes to express his sincere gratitude to all the people who made this report possible. Any omissions or mistakes are uninTENtional. Special care has been given to citing all the people responsible for the compilation of this work. The members of the KRANNAWITTER, KRONEWITTer/Kronwitter/KRONEWITT/Kranewitter families that came to America from the Volga-German colonies in RUSSIA were among thousands of ethnic Germans from RUSSIA who emigrated in search of freedom from 1875 up to the time of the RUSSIAn Revolution. The variant spellings of the KRANNAWITTER surname evolved as family members who had moved to different parts of North and South America gradually lost contact with each other. In the earliest RUSSIAn records, the name was spelled KRANNAWITTER. All the American spellings that eventually developed differed slightly from this original version. Later in this introduction, more atTENtion will be given to the subject of the dispersal of this family and different spellings that ensueDIED For the make of simplicity, in this report the surname will be referred to generically as KRANNAWITTER unless a specific family with an alternative spelling is being discusseDIED Evidence seems to indicate, although not incontrovertibly, that the KRANNAWITTER family that migrated to the Volga colonies of RUSSIA originated in Wiesbach, a small German village in lowered Bavaria situated about 50 miles northeast of Munich. (See figure 29.) Chapter ONE of this book, WIESBACH, LOWER BAVARIA< GERMANY; THE PROBABLE PLACE OF ORIGIN OF THE VOLGA-GERMAN IMMIGRANT JOHANNES KRANNEWITTER (1731-EA. 1782), ANALYZES THE RESEARCH that led to this TENtative conclusion (Pleve 1998). According to records contained in Catholic parish archives in Germany, Adam Kronawitter and his wife Anna _______-were parents of Michael Gronawitter (the surname was spelled differently even in the same baptismal entry.), baptized 3 MAY, 1731, at the church serving the parish of Obertrennbach, where Weisbach was locateDIED The entry stated that Adam Kronawitter was a dragONEer in the army (presumably the Bavarian army) and had been statiONEd at Mitterfels, a town about 40 miles north of Weisbach and about 20 miles east of the city of Regensburg (Dr. Paul) 1998). the Catholic archives referred to are the only sauce of records of so early date in Germany. Johannes Krannewitter was the name of the man who migrated from Germany to RUSSIA, as listed in the roster of the original settlers of the Volga-German colony of OBERMONJOU, where he settled in 1767. (See figure 30.) Upon arrival at the colony on AUGUST, 1767, he stated that he was 36 years of age, that he was a Catholic, that he was from Weisbach (Germany), and that he was a baker by trade. Anna _______-, his wife, was 29 years of age (Pleve 1998). The author corresponded with the directors of the diocesan archives that house Catholic parish records were the only records kept in these towns in the early years. The only Weisbach that had records of any KRANNAWITTER (or any other similar spelling of that surname) families living in close proximity was the village mentiONEd above. Michael Gronawitter, baptized in 1731--according to records in Weisbach, Lower Bavaria--would have been 36 in 1767, as Johannes Krannewitter indicated that he was when he settled in OBERMONJOU in 1767. In German naming practice at the time of Johannes Krannewitter's migration, men were ofTEN given TWO names and would refer to themselves in official documents by either or both of these names. It is highly plausible that Johannes and Michael were ONE and the same. Johannes Michael was a common given-name combination. Since the Catholic church in OBERMONJOU available for that early a date, it is impossible to verify this claim using those sources (Pleve 1999). Only circumstantial evidence can be used to provide further support for the assumption that Johannes and Michael were the same person. Particularly relevant is the fact that the information about Johannes Krannewiter's place or origin was extracted from the list of the first settlers of OBERMONJOU (PLeve 1998). item The place of origin was extracted from the list of the first settlers of OBERMONJOU (Pleve 1998). The place of origin named in this source is by and large more specific and more reliable than that listed in the other principal source of information about the early German migrants to the Volga colonies; the Ivan Kuhlberg records, which were ship passenger lists prepared in 1766 when the first-settlers list is usually the place of birth, which makes it easier to find a connection in Germany (Schmidt 1998). At any rate, thanks to early RUSSIAn census records an unbroken line can be traced from Johannes and Anna Krannewitter to most of the families descended from theMARRIED Dr. Igor Pleve, who is on the faculty of Saratov State University and is an expert in Volga-German research, and the American Historical Society of Germans from RUSSIA (AHSGR) based in Lincoln, Nebraska, have been instrumental in providing information drawn from these early censuses. The AHSGR has published 1798 census data for OBERMONJOU and for the other Volga-German colonies (Rye 1995; Pleve 1998). Chapter TWO of this book, EARLY VOLGA-GERMAN RECORDS USED IN THIS GENEOLOGICAL REPORT, focuses on FOUR early sources that were referred to during the research process; and it summarizes the information taken from these records. Later censuses, or "revision lists" of earlier enumerations, were taken in the years 1816, 1834, and 1850 (Mai (Brent) 1998; Pleve 1998; Rye 1995; LEIKER 1999; Rupp 1999). From this RUSSIAn data and from death, census, church, family, and other records of family members who later moved to America, pedigree charts have been made fro THREE related OBERMONJOU families; KRANNAWITTER, DECHANT, and BRULL; these charts are included in Chapter TWO (See figures 1, 2, and 3). A genealogical profile of KRANNAWITTER families living in the U.S., Canada, Argentina, RUSSIA, Kazakhstan, and Germany who are descended from Johannes and Anna Elizabeta Krannewitter is contained in CHAPTER THREE,,AN ELEVEN-GENERATION REGISTER OF SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JOHANNES AND ANNA ELISABETA (SATTLER) KRANNEWITTER. This chapter consists of a computer-generated report of ELEVEN generations. All the sources used to compile this data are included in the bibliographic list. Many of the families are traced through only a few generations. Before discussing any more of the conTENt of the book, the author would like to present an abbreviated history of the Volga German colonies and in this way provide a historical backdrop for the benefit of the reader. The information which follows was taken from TWO excellent books writTEN about the Volga-German colonies: Wir Wollen Deutsche Bleiben, by George J. Walters, 1982; and The German Colonies on the Lower Volga, by Gottlieb Beratz, 1914, translated by Leona W. Pfeifer, LaVern J. Rippley, and Dona Reeves-Marquardt, edited by Adam Giesinger, all of whom worked in cooperation with the AHSGR (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). The ancestors of the Volga Germans were among an estimated 27, 000 Western Europeans, primarily Germans, who migrated to RUSSIA from 1764 to 1767 upon the invitation of the RUSSIAn empress Catherine II, better known alas Catherine the Great. The Catholic settlement of OBERMONJOU, which was the home of all the KRANNAWITTER families that later migrated to America, was ONE of 104 Mother Colonies--32 Catholic and 72 Protestant--established by these immigrants on both sides of the lower Volga River. OBERMONJOU was ONE of 27 colonies founded in 1766 and 1767 by Chevailer Caneau de Beauregard, a native of Switzerland who directed a French company employed by the RUSSIAn government to recruit colonists. The subdivision in which these 27 colonies were located was called the Fief de Catherine. OBERMONJOU, which was named for the French recruiting agent Otto de MUNJOR, was founded 5 MARCH, 1767, by 82 families, including 160 males and 139 females, for a total of 299 (Stump 1978). OBERMONJOU was located about 40 miles northeast of the city of Sartov and was situated on the east side, or Wiesenseite (meadow side), of the Volga River. (See figure 30.) The west side of the Volga River was known as the Bergseite (hilly side) (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). To temp the war-weary farmers, merchants, artisans, and soldiers of Germany and other European countries, Catherine the Great--a German herself--issued official edicts that offered free communal land, paid travel expenses, freedom of religion (as long as the people were Christians), freedom of self-government, and the opportunity to carry on ONE's particular trade (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). Upon arrival in Oranienbaum, a seaport near St. Petersburg, RUSSIA, the colonists--after a difficult land and sea journey from recruiting points in Germany--received the first of many setbacks they would encounter. They were informed by the RUSSIAn Commissar Ivan Kuhlberg, who served as Catherine's official spokesman to the settlers that they would all have to become farmers, regardless of Catherine and her immediate successors. These pan-Slavic circles had grown suspicious and envious of the prosperous Volga Germans, who lost the liberty to rule themselves, to instruct their children in the German language, and to avoid conscription into the RUSSIAn army. The abrogation of these concessions prompted the Volga Germans to take advantage of an escape clause in the second of Catherine's TWO manifestos of invitations: the right to quit RUSSIA at any time after paying a tax on profits made in the empire. ONE of the destinations this time, after careful consideration and exploration by a group of scouts appointed by the colonists, was North America--specifically the fertile Great Plains of the U.S. Others chose to migrate to South America, where they settled in Brazil and Argentina (Walters 1982). Typical of the movement was the settlement of Ellis and Rush counties in Kansas, where between THREE and FOUR thousand Catholic Volga Germans eventually locateDIED They founded the settlements of Herzog (Victoria), MUNJOR, Katherinestadt, (Catherine), Liebenthal, Schoenchen, and Pfeifer (Walters 1982). Several KRANNAWITTER families and individuals from OBERMONJOU are known to have migrated to America. The following paragraphs detail the dates of their arrivals, their ultimate destinations, and the different spellings of the surname they utilizeDIED The number in superscript between the immigrant's given name and surname indicate the number of his or her generation of descent from Johannes Krannewitter, the original Volga-German settler. The parentheses after the immigrant's surname enclose a complete list of the names and generation numbers of each of his or her KRANNAWITTER ancestors leading up to Johannes Krannewitter. This is same pattern will be used throughout this book--except when the type must be single-spaced, in which event brackets will enclose the number of the generation of descent. Chapter THREE, entitled AN ELEVEN-GENERATION REGISTER OF SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JAHANNES KRANNEWITTER AND ANNA ELIZABETA SATTLER, contains a complete description of each KRANNAWITTER immigrant's family. Brothers Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER both move to the U.S. albeit at different times. Johannes came to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas as single man in 1876. ONE of the original settlers of MUNJOR, Kansas, he later MARRIED Helen LEIKER. Raymond came to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS 1901 with his second wife Mary Krapp, son John KRANNAWITTER (who was Raymond's son by his first wife Maria Catherine DECHANT--John is the author's grandfather), and daughters Julia and Rosa KRONEWITTer (who were the oldest children of Raymond and Mary). Later, another daughter, Katherine KRONEWITTer, and a son, Joseph KRONEWITTer, were BORN in the U.S. Joseph and his sisters spelled their name KRONEWITTer, as do their descendants today. Raymond's brother Johannes and his family migrated to the U.S. in 1901, they spent a short time in ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas; then they, too, moved to New Mexico where Raymond worked with his brother. In 1907, Raymond and his family moved back to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS and settled near Schoenchen. Many years later, ONE of Johannes' sons, Michael KRANNAWITTER, also moved back to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS and settled near Severin, located about FIVE miles northwest of Catherine. Stories The rest of Johannes' children remained in New Mexico, but he and his wife also eventually returned to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS where they settled in Hays, the county seat (Pleve 1998; KRANNAWITTER (Michael J. 1993.) Margareta KRANNAWITTER, widow of Johann LEIKER, moved to MUNJOR, ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, with her children in 1876. Her son, Peter LEIKER, was ONE of the FIVE scouts sent in 1874 by the Catholic Volga-German colonies to explore the possibilities of establishing settlements in the central plains of the U.S. (Pleve 1998; LEIKER (Victor C. 1976.) Magdalena Younger, widow of Franz Krannewitter, accompanied her daughter Barbara Krannewitter and Barbara's husband John Pfannnensteil to MUNJOR, Kansas, by 1880. Franz was the brother of Johannes Krannewitter who was the father of Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER, discussed above. (Pleve 1998; Meyer 1976). Maria Elizabeth Krannewitter (KRONEWITTer) was the sister of Franz and Johannes mentiONEd in the paragraph above. She and her husband John ROHR also moved to MUNJOR by 1880 (Pleve 1998; Meyer 1976). In 1878, brothers Michael and Joseph Kranewitter--who were brothers of the U.S. immigrants Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER discussed above--migrated to the province of Entrée Rios, Argentina, with their adoptive parents Joseph and Catalina (Unrein) Wendler. They were among the founders of the Volga-German settlement of Marienthal (Valle Maria), located about 25 miles south of the city of Parana (Wendler 1990; Kranewitter (Vicente) 1990). Raphael Kranewitter--who was probably the brother of Johannes, Raymond, Michael, and Joseph--remained in RUSSIA. His descendents are profiled in Chapter FIVE (Dreher Katharina) 1995). Adam Kranewitter and his family moved to Valle Maria, Argentina, in 1878. They were also among the founders of that settlement (Pleve 1998; Kranewitter (Vincent) 1990. Johannes "Weisse" Kranewitter and his wife Margaretha C. LEIKER migrated to Valle Maria in 1880. John Conrad Kranewitter and his family also migrated to Brazil in 1877 and then to Valle Maria in 1880 (PLeve 1998; Kranewitter (Vicente 1990). Raymond KRONEWITT moved first to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas, in 1902, and later to the Peace River valley of Alberta, Canada, in 1913. Raymond's aunt Anna Maria Krannewitter and her husband John BOOS and their children migrated to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS in 1892. Raymond KRONEWITT's first cousins Peter and Frank Kronwitter moved to the U.S.--Peter in 1903 and Frank in 1904. Peter and his wife Dorothea BOOS returned to RUSSIA in 1924 and died there. ONE of their daughters Anna Kron (e)witter and her husband John DECHANT moved to the Peace River valley of Alberta in 1915. Peter's brother Frank Kronwitter and his family settled in Pueblo, Colorado. (See Chapter FIVE). (Pleve 1998; Krapp; 1986; DECHANT 1987). Present-day descendants of the FIVE KRANNAWITTER/Kron(e)witter families who migrated to North America, the SIX Kranewitter families who migrated to South America, and TWO of the Kranewitter families stayed in RUSSIA are listed in Chapters FOUR and FIVE. Chapter FOUR, current listings of related Volga-German families and individuals, as well as the many U.S. families that have variant spellings of the surname and do not have an obvious connection to the Volga-German families. The families are ranked according to the frequency of appearance of each particular spelling in the U.S. telephONE directories or in other U.S. indexes. Also discussed are the areas in the U.S. where there are high concentrations of these families. Various immigration records, the social security Death index, and listings found on the internet were also used to compile this data. Chapter FIVE, A FOCUS On RELATED KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON RELATED KRAANEWITTER FAMILIES LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND GERMANY, provides up-to-date listings of the KRONEWITT families in Canada, Kranewitter families in Argentina, and Kranewitter families who chose to remain in what later became the Soviet Union. The information for the American KRONEWITT and Kranewitter descendents came from Internet directories. The information for the RUSSIAn Kranewitter descendants came from private correspondence. These RUSSIAn families underwent terrible ordeals to attain their present positions. Between 1876 and 1914, around 200,000 Volga Germans migrated to Siberia, the U.S. Canada, and countries in South America. The number of Volga Germans that remained in what later became the Volga German Republic increased to around 600,000 in 1914. In 1912, the population of OBERMONJOU had reached 2,882. By 1926, it had fallen to 2,157, due largely to a deadly famine that had swept through the Volga colonies, which were already devastated by crop failures in 1920 and 1921. The previous disastrous effects of WWI and the resulting civil strife and anti-German sentiment added to the misfortunes of the German settlers. The tyrannical policies of Josef Stalin--brutally enforced by his communist cohorts, another widespread famine in 1932, the con script ion of the young men of the towns into the Soviet army, and the banishment of property holders to prison camps all contributed to the steady decline of OBERMONJOU and the other Volga-German towns. The final blow came during WWII when the German army was approaching the Volga region. Stalin, fearing collaboration of the Volga Germans with the enemy, ordered the banishment of the entire population in AUGUST, 1941, along with the abrogation of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans were resettled in Siberia and Kazakhstan (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). Among those people resettled were several Kranewitter families. The author has contacted TWO descendants of these families: Vladimir Kranewitter and Katherine Dreher. Their story and the story of other relatives still living in RUSSIA and Kazakhstan are recounted in Chapter 5, A FOCUS ON RELATED KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON RELATED KRANEWITTER FAMILIES LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND GERMANY. Now that the RUSSIAn Government has eased restrictions on the German minority, more are trickling back to the former Volga German Republic near Savator. However, because the RUSSIAn economic situation is so bleak at the present time, many others are filling out the countless forms and submitting the endless documents necessary to immigrate to Germany. Katharina Dreher, mentiONEd above, and her family have joined the thousands of Volga Germans who have returned to their motherlanDIED (See figures 8-14.) Chapter SIX, OTHER FAMILIES WITH VARIANT SPELLINGS OF THE KRANNAWITTER SURNAME LIVING IN EURAOPE AND SOUTH AMERICA, contains statistics on the hundreds of families scattered throughout Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Paraguay who have different versions of the surname KRANNAWITTER. These families and individuals are not obviously related to the Krannewitter couple that settled in OBERMONJOU, RUSSIA, in 1767, Any concentration of families with a similar spelling of the surname is noteDIED Sources for this information were also telephONE directories found on the internet. (See figures 15-21.) Chapter SEVEN, A TRIBUTE TO WILFRED W. KRANNAWITTER (1924-1970), RADIOMAN SECOND CLASS, U.S.S. SARASOTA APA 204, WWII, IS A MEMORIAL to the author's father. Wilfred W. ("Willie") KRANNAWITTER served in the south Pacific at the end of WWII. His ship, the Attack Transport U.S.S. Sarasota APA 204, took part in the battle of WWII-- the Battle of Okinawa. This chapter includes an itinerary of all the ports of call and war-time duties of the Sarasota. Also included are photographs, a history of the Sarasota's post-war activities, and an artistic rendition of the ship itself. After the war, Wilfred bought land and went into farming and stock rising. He later fought a personal battle against the neurological disease Guillain-Barre Syndrome for 17 years before it claimed his life in 1970. (See figures 22-24). CHAPTER EIGHT, BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF TWELVE NOTED KRANNAWITTER, KRANEWITTER, KRONEWITT, AND KRONA WITTER INDIVIDUALS IN THE U.S., CANADA, ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, AUSTRIA, GERMANY, AND AUSTRIA, contains information about the lives of EIGHT notable Volga-German relatives: THREE descended from the KRONEWITT family that migrated to Argentina, and ONE descended from ONE of the Kranewitter families that remained in RUSSIA. FOUR unrelated but equally distinguished individuals are also treated: THREE with the surname Kranewitter and ONE with the surname KrONEawitter. Chapter NINE, ETYMOLOGY REFERENCES AND GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS IN EURAOPE AND THE U.S. THAT RELATE TO THE SURNAME KRANNAWITTER, includes entries taken from THREE etymological dictionaries that deal with surnames. FOUR geographical locations are also described: the hamlet of Kanawitt in Upper Bavaria, Germany: the mountain peak Kranabitsattel in the Hollengebirge mountains of Upper Austria, Austria; the airport Innsbruck-KranebitTEN near Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria, and KRONEWETTER Township in Narathon County, Wisconsin. (See figures 25-27.) Chapter TEN, THE KRANEWITTER COAT-OF-ARMS, AWARDED TO THE TYROLEAN COUSINS HANS AND WOLFGANG KRANEWITTER IN 1630, relates the story of the cousins Hans Kranewitter and Wolfgang Kranebitter who received a coat-of-arms in recognition of service rendered to the Austrian crown in its struggle in the neighboring Engadin region in SwitzerlanDIED The Kranewitter coat-of-arms was obtained in 1950 by Richard MARRIED KRANNAWITTER (1909-1991) while he was in Germany with the judge Advocate office at the end of WWII. The relationship between the original Volga-German settler Johannes Krannewitter and the cousins Hans and Wolfgang Kranewitter is unknown. (See figure 28.) Chapter 11, MAPS PF FORMER AND PRESENT PLACES OF RESIDENCE OF KRANNAWITTER FAMILIES IN GERMANY, RUSSIA, THE U.S., CANADA, AND ARGENTINA, includes 13 maps displaying the former and current homes of Krannewitter/Kranewitter/KRANNAWITTER/KRONEWITTer/KRONEWITT families in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America. These maps, which are taken from a variety of sources show the historical migration of the family from the original home in Germany, to the lower Volga River valley of RUSSIA, to other parts of the former Soviet Union, and to the colonies centered in ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas; entrée Rios, Argentina; and Alberta, Canada. (See figures 29-35.) Chapter TWELVE, PHOTOGRGRAPHS OF KRANNAWITTER DESCENDANTS IN THE U.S., CANADA, ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, GERMANY, contains photographs of some of the KRANNAWITTER/KRONEWITT/Kranewitter families and individuals that migrated from the Volga-German colonies to the U.S., Canada, and Argentina. Other photographs are of descendants of these same families living in the U.S., Canada, Argentina, and RUSSIA. (See figures 36-58). The BIBLIOGRAPHY LIST is an alphabetical arrangement of every source used to compile this book. The list includes books, booklets, Magazine articles, Internet Websites, death records, published and unpublished family histories, private correspondence, census, and other records. The last section of this book is a surname index which consists of an alphabetical list of the surname KRANNAWITTER have already been discussed in this introduction. The reader will notice that in many instances in this book there are also several spellings for certain given names--for example, Catherine, Catharine, Catharina, Katharina, Catalina, etc. The reason for this is that each given name is presented as it was spelled in the record that it was extracted from, as are the surnames. To make matters worse, from 1773 to 1775 Emyliano Pugachev and his followers staged a rebellion against Catherine. They also encouraged the Kirghiz to stage a rebellion of their own. InTENsifying raids against the German settlements. Large areas of the Volga colonists were devastateDIED Some of Pugachev's followers, including about 100 Germans recruited from other Volga colonies, entered the town of Katherinenstadt, where they harassed and robbed the inhabitants of horses and guns. Katherinenstadt, the largest of the Volga colonists on the Wiesenseite, was only about FIVE miles southwest of OBERMONJOU. Amid all these tragedies, men totally unaccustomed to the rigors of farming were forced to learn that trade. Crop failures in the early years added to the colonists' desperation (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). After TWO generations of colonists had lived and died, conditions for the German settlers along the lower Volga slowly began to improve. They eventually prevailed and prospereDIED As the original Mother Colonies became too crowded, Daughter Colonies were establisheDIED Fortunately, the colony of OBERMONJOU was never attacked by Kirghiz or by Pugachev's rebels. In 1767, 299 people (82 families) had founded OBERMONJOU. TWO years later, the population was 324 (91 families). By 1798, when the first comprehensive census of OBERMONJOU was taken, the population had grown to 429. Through the 19th century, the population steadily increased as living conditions improveDIED But the good times were soon to end (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). The number of Volga Germans that remained in what later became the Volga German Republic increased to around 600,000 in 1914. In 1912, the population of OBERMONJOU had reached 2,882. By 1926, it had fallen to 2,157, due largely to a deadly famine that had swept through the Volga colonies, which were already devastated by crop failures in 1920 and 1921. The previous disastrous effects of WWI and the resulting civil strife and anti-German sentiment added to the misfortunes of the German settlers. The tyrannical policies of Josef Stalin--brutally enforced by his communist cohorts, another widespread famine in 1932, the con script ion of the young men of the towns into the Soviet army, and the banishment of property holders to prison camps all contributed to the steady decline of OBERMONJOU and the other Volga-German towns. The final blow came during WWII when the German army was approaching the Volga region. Stalin, fearing collaboration of the Volga Germans with the enemy, ordered the banishment of the entire population in AUGUST, 1941, along with the abrogation of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans were resettled in Siberia and Kazakhstan (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). Among those people resettled were several Kranewitter families. The author has contacted TWO descendants of these families: Vladimir Kranewitter and Katherine Dreher. Their story and the story of other relatives still living in RUSSIA and Kazakhstan are recounted in Chapter 5, A FOCUS ON RELATED KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON RELATED KRANEWITTER FAMILIES LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND GERMANY. Now that the RUSSIAn Government has eased restrictions on the German minority, more are trickling back to the former Volga German Republic near Savator. However, because the RUSSIAn economic situation is so bleak at the present time, many others are filling out the countless forms and submitting the endless documents necessary to immigrate to Germany. Katharina Dreher, mentiONEd above, and her family have joined the thousands of Volga Germans who have returned to their motherlanDIED (See figures 8-14.) Chapter SIX, OTHER FAMILIES WITH VARIANT SPELLINGS OF THE KRANNAWITTER SURNAME LIVING IN EURAOPE AND SOUTH AMERICA, contains statistics on the hundreds of families scattered throughout Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Paraguay who have different versions of the surname KRANNAWITTER. These families and individuals are not obviously related to the Krannewitter couple that settled in OBERMONJOU, RUSSIA, in 1767, Any concentration of families with a similar spelling of the surname is noteDIED Sources for this information were also telephONE directories found on the internet. (See figures 15-21.) Chapter SEVEN, A TRIBUTE TO WILFRED W. KRANNAWITTER (1924-1970), RADIOMAN SECOND CLASS, U.S.S. SARASOTA APA 204, WWII, IS A MEMORIAL to the author's father. Wilfred W. ("Willie") KRANNAWITTER served in the south Pacific at the end of WWII. His ship, the Attack Transport U.S.S. Sarasota APA 204, took part in the battle of WWII-- the Battle of Okinawa. This chapter includes an itinerary of all the ports of call and war-time duties of the Sarasota. Also included are photographs, a history of the Sarasota's post-war activities, and an artistic rendition of the ship itself. After the war, Wilfred bought land and went into farming and stock rising. He later fought a personal battle against the neurological disease Guillain-Barre Syndrome for 17 years before it claimed his life in 1970. (See figures 22-24). CHAPTER EIGHT, BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF TWELVE NOTED KRANNAWITTER, KRANEWITTER, KRONEWITT, AND KRONA WITTER INDIVIDUALS IN THE U.S., CANADA, ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, AUSTRIA, GERMANY, AND AUSTRIA, contains information about the lives of EIGHT notable Volga-German relatives: THREE descended from the KRONEWITT family that migrated to Argentina, and ONE descended from ONE of the Kranewitter families that remained in RUSSIA. FOUR unrelated but equally distinguished individuals are also treated: THREE with the surname Kranewitter and ONE with the surname KrONEawitter. Chapter NINE, ETYMOLOGY REFERENCES AND GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS IN EURAOPE AND THE U.S. THAT RELATE TO THE SURNAME KRANNAWITTER, includes entries taken from THREE etymological dictionaries that deal with surnames. FOUR geographical locations are also described: the hamlet of Kanawitt in Upper Bavaria, Germany: the mountain peak Kranabitsattel in the Hollengebirge mountains of Upper Austria, Austria; the airport Innsbruck-KranebitTEN near Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria, and KRONEWETTER Township in Narathon County, Wisconsin. (See figures 25-27.) Chapter TEN, THE KRANEWITTER COAT-OF-ARMS, AWARDED TO THE TYROLEAN COUSINS HANS AND WOLFGANG KRANEWITTER IN 1630, relates the story of the cousins Hans Kranewitter and Wolfgang Kranebitter who received a coat-of-arms in recognition of service rendered to the Austrian crown in its struggle in the neighboring Engadin region in SwitzerlanDIED The Kranewitter coat-of-arms was obtained in 1950 by Richard MARRIED KRANNAWITTER (1909-1991) while he was in Germany with the judge Advocate office at the end of WWII. The relationship between the original Volga-German settler Johannes Krannewitter and the cousins Hans and Wolfgang Kranewitter is unknown. (See figure 28.) Chapter 11, MAPS PF FORMER AND PRESENT PLACES OF RESIDENCE OF KRANNAWITTER FAMILIES IN GERMANY, RUSSIA, THE U.S., CANADA, AND ARGENTINA, includes 13 maps displaying the former and current homes of Krannewitter/Kranewitter/KRANNAWITTER/KRONEWITTer/KRONEWITT families in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America. These maps, which are taken from a variety of sources show the historical migration of the family from the original home in Germany, to the lower Volga River valley of RUSSIA, to other parts of the former Soviet Union, and to the colonies centered in ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas; entrée Rios, Argentina; and Alberta, Canada. (See figures 29-35.) Chapter TWELVE, PHOTOGRGRAPHS OF KRANNAWITTER DESCENDANTS IN THE U.S., CANADA, ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, GERMANY, contains photographs of some of the KRANNAWITTER/KRONEWITT/Kranewitter families and individuals that migrated from the Volga-German colonies to the U.S., Canada, and Argentina. Other photographs are of descendants of these same families living in the U.S., Canada, Argentina, and RUSSIA. (See figures 36-58). The BIBLIOGRAPHY LIST is an alphabetical arrangement of every source used to compile this book. The list includes books, booklets, Magazine articles, Internet Websites, death records, published and unpublished family histories, private correspondence, census, and other records. The last section of this book is a surname index which consists of an alphabetical list of the surname KRANNAWITTER have already been discussed in this introduction. The reader will notice that in many instances in this book there are also several spellings for certain given names--for example, Catherine, Catharine, Catharina, Katharina, Catalina, etc. The reason for this is that each given name is presented as it was spelled in the record that it was extracted from, as are the surnames. Gerhard Krannewitter born 1827, OBERMONJOU, RUSSIA, MARRIED Mrs. Gerhard (Christina) Kranewitter, be. c 1830, RUSSIA, DIED RUSSIA. Gerhard died in OBERMONJOU, RUSSIA. In the census Gerhard, 7, was listed at the house of parents Sebastian Krannewitter and Catherina (Brehm). In the 1850 OBERMONJOU census, Gerhard, 23, was listed with his wife Christina, 21. He is referred to in an 1878 letter from Anton BOOS to his son-in-law Adam Kranewitter of Valle Maria Argentina. Adam was Gerhard's brother. children: Anna Margaret KRONEWITTer born 10 Aug 1856. Many books and papers about other Volga German families and their descendants, have been published over the last fifty years, and are treasured documents for not only the serious researcher, but also those with a passing interest as well. This book is ONE the descendants of ONE BEFORT family that left Germany to go to RUSSIA. While every effort has been made in this compilation to provide accurate and complete information, endeavors to acquire additional facts and details from both the United States and European sources continue. Any omission of person (s), places, or events that deserve inclusion be rein is purely uninTENtional. This is the story of a Volga-German family named KRANNAWITTER. In the chapters which follow, I have attempted to trace the development of the family from the 1766 migration to RUSSIA, through the FOUR-generation sojourn along the Volga River, to migration to America. While gathering genealogical information for this book, I have had the opportunity to contact many members of this family living in different parts of the U.S., in Canada, and in Argentina. I have also corresponded with members of this family who remained in RUSSIA. During my research, I have come across SIX different ways of spelling the surname among my relatives; Krannewitter, as spelled in the original RUSSIAn censuses; KRANNAWITTER, as spelled by members of my own family; KRONEWITTer, as spelled by cousins descended from my great-uncle; KRONEWITTer, as spelled by cousins in Colorado. KRONEWITT; as spelled by relatives in Canada; and Kranewitter, as spelled by relatives in Argentina and by relatives who stayed in RUSSIA. Members of all these families have contributed information making this book possible. Biographical sketches detail the lives of selected people from these different families and areas. AtTENtion is also devoted to the hundreds of unrelated American and European families who bear surnames similar to KRANNAWITTER--with such spellings as Kronawitter, Kronawetter, Kranebitter, CrONEnwett, KrONEbitter, KrONEnwett, KrONEwetter, and Kranawetter. Finally, maps and photographs provide a visual representation of the places and people referred to. I certainly enjoyed putting it together. This book is the end result of years of research into the origin and dispersal of the KRANNAWITTER family. This INTRODUCTION contains a brief description of the TWELVE chapters and TWO final sections of this book. Within each chapter, in the even that any information was obtained from published material or from correspondence with official agencies, the particular source is citeDIED Much of the data used in this genealogical report was also taken from personal letters and family records; these sources, too, are duly citeDIED All of the sources used to compile this book, including those not specifically cited within the chapters, aware recorded in the bibliographic list at the end of the book. The author wishes to express her sincere gratitude to all the people who made this report possible. Any omissions or mistakes are uninTENtional. Special care has been given to citing all the people responsible for the compilation of this work. The members of the KRANNAWITTER, KRONEWITTer/Kronwitter/KRONEWITT/Kranewitter families that came to America from the Volga-German colonies in RUSSIA were among thousands of ethnic Germans from RUSSIA who emigrated in search of freedom from 1875 up to the time of the RUSSIAn Revolution. The variant spellings of the KRANNAWITTER surname evolved as family members who had moved to different parts of North and South America gradually lost contact with each other. In the earliest RUSSIAn records, the name was spelled KRANNAWITTER. All the American spellings that eventually developed differed slightly from this original version. Later in this introduction, more atTENtion will be given to the subject of the dispersal of this family and different spellings that ensueDIED For the make of simplicity, in this report the surname will be referred to generically as KRANNAWITTER unless a specific family with an alternative spelling is being discusseDIED Evidence seems to indicate, although not incontrovertibly, that the KRANNAWITTER family that migrated to the Volga colonies of RUSSIA originated in Wiesbach, a small German village in lowered Bavaria situated about 50 miles northeast of Munich. (See figure 29.) Chapter ONE of this book, WIESBACH, LOWER BAVARIA< GERMANY; THE PROBABLE PLACE OF ORIGIN OF THE VOLGA-GERMAN IMMIGRANT JOHANNES KRANNEWITTER (1731-EA. 1782), ANALYZES THE RESEARCH that led to this TENtative conclusion (Pleve 1998). According to records contained in Catholic parish archives in Germany, Adam Kronawitter and his wife Anna _______-were parents of Michael Gronawitter (the surname was spelled differently even in the same baptismal entry.), baptized 3 MAY, 1731, at the church serving the parish of Obertrennbach, where Weisbach was locateDIED The entry stated that Adam Kronawitter was a dragONEt in the army (presumably the Bavarian army) and had been statiONEd at Mitterfels, a town about 40 miles north of Weisbach and about 20 miles east of the city of Regensburg (Mai (Dr. Paul) 1998). The Catholic archives referred to aware the only sauce of records of so early date in Germany. Johannes Krannewitter was the name of the man who migrated from Germany to RUSSIA, as listed in the roster of the original settlers of the Volga-German colony of OBERMONJOU, where he settled in 1767. Upon arrival at the colony on AUGUST, 1767, he stated that he was 36 years of age, that he was a Catholic, that he was from Weisbach (Germany), and that he was a baker by trade. Anna _______-, his wife, was 29 years of age (Pleve 1998). The author corresponded with the directors of the diocesan archives that house Catholic parish records were the only records kept in these towns in the early years. The only Weisbach that had records of any KRANNAWITTER (or any other similar spelling of that surname) families living in close proximity was the village mentiONEd above. Michael Gronawitter, baptized in 1731--according to records in Weisbach, Lower Bavaria--would have been 36 in 1767, as Johannes Krannewitter indicated that he was when he settled in OBERMONJOU in 1767. In German naming practice at the time of Johannes Krannewitter's migration, men were ofTEN given TWO names and would refer to themselves in official documents by either or both of these names. It is highly plausible that Johannes and Michael were ONE and the same. Johannes Michael was a common given-name combination. Since the Catholic Church in OBERMONJOU available for that early a date, it is impossible to verify this claim using those sources (Pleve 1999). Only circumstantial evidence can be used to provide further support for the assumption that Johannes and Michael was the same person. Particularly relevant is the fact that the information about Johannes Krannewiter's place or origin was extracted from the list of the first settlers of OBERMONJOU (PLeve 1998). The place of origin was extracted from the list of the first settlers of OBERMONJOU (Pleve 1998). The place of origin named in this source is by and large more specific and more reliable than that listed in the other principal source of information about the early German migrants to the Volga colonies; the Ivan Kuhlberg records, which were ship passenger lists prepared in 1766 when the first-settlers list is usually the place of birth, which makes it easier to find a connection in Germany (Schmidt 1998). At any rate, thanks to early RUSSIAn census records an unbroken line can be traced from Johannes and Anna Krannewitter to most of the families descended from theMARRIED Dr. Igor Pleve, who is on the faculty of Saratov State University and is an expert in Volga-German research, and the American Historical Society of Germans from RUSSIA (AHSGR) based in Lincoln, Nebraska, have been instrumental in providing information drawn from these early censuses. The AHSGR has published 1798 census data for OBERMONJOU and for the other Volga-German colonies (Rye 1995; Pleve 1998). Chapter TWO of this book, EARLY VOLGA-GERMAN RECORDS USED IN THIS GENEOLOGICAL REPORT, focuses on FOUR early sources that were referred to during the research process; and it summarizes the information taken from these records. Later censuses, or "revision lists" of earlier enumerations, were taken in the years 1816, 1834, and 1850 (Mai (Brent) 1998; Pleve 1998; Rye 1995; LEIKER 1999; Rupp 1999). From this RUSSIAn data and from death, census, church, family, and other records of family members who later moved to America, pedigree charts have been made fro THREE related OBERMONJOU families; KRANNAWITTER, DECHANT, and BRULL; these charts are included in Chapter TWO (See figures 1, 2, and 3). A genealogical profile of KRANNAWITTER families living in the U.S., Canada, Argentina, RUSSIA, Kazakhstan, and Germany who aware descended from Johannes and Anna Elizabeta Krannewitter is contained in CHAPTER THREE,,AN ELEVEN-GENERATION REGISTER OF SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JOHANNES AND ANNA ELISABETA (SATTLER) KRANNEWITTER. This chapter consists of a computer-generated report of ELEVEN generations. All the sources used to compile this data aware included in the bibliographic list. Many of the families are traced through only a few generations. Before discussing any more of the conTENt of the book, the author would like to present an abbreviated history of the Volga German colonies and in this way provide a historical backdrop for the benefit of the reader. The information which follows was taken from TWO excellent books writTEN about the Volga-German colonies: Wir Wollen Deutsche Bleiben, by George J. Walters, 1982; and The German Colonies on the Lower Volga, by Gottlieb Beratz, 1914, translated by Leona W. Pfeifer, Lavern J. Ripley, and Dona Reeves-Marquardt, edited by Adam Giesinger, all of whom worked in cooperation with the AHSGR (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). The ancestors of the Volga Germans were among an estimated 27, 000 Western Europeans, primarily Germans, who migrated to RUSSIA from 1764 to 1767 upon the invitation of the RUSSIAn empress Catherine II, better known as Catherine the Great. The Catholic settlement of OBERMONJOU, which was the home of all the KRANNAWITTER families that later migrated to America, was ONE of 104 Mother Colonies--32 Catholic and 72 Protestant--established by these immigrants on both sides of the lower Volga River. OBERMONJOU was ONE of 27 colonies founded in 1766 and 1767 by Chevailer Caneau de Beauregard, a native of Switzerland who directed a French company employed by the RUSSIAn government to recruit colonists. The subdivision in which these 27 colonies were located was called the Fief de Catherine. OBERMONJOU, which was named for the French recruiting agent Otto de MUNJOR, was founded 5 MARCH, 1767, by 82 families, including 160 males and 139 females, for a total of 299 (Stump 1978). OBERMONJOU was located about 40 miles northeast of the city of Sartov and was situated on the east side, or Wiesenseite (meadow side), of the Volga River. (See figure 30.) The west side of the Volga River was known as the Bergseite (hilly side) (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). To temp the war-weary farmers, merchants, artisans, and soldiers of Germany and other European countries, Catherine the Great--a German herself--issued official edicts that offered free communal land, paid travel expenses, freedom of religion (as long as the people were Christians), freedom of self-government, and the opportunity to carry on ONE's particulate trade (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). Upon arrival in Oranienbaum, a seaport near St. Petersburg, RUSSIA, the colonists--after a difficult land and sea journey from recruiting points in Germany--received the first of many setbacks they would encounter. They were informed by the RUSSIAn Commissar Ivan Kuhlberg, who served as Catherine's official spokesman to the settlers that they would all have to become farmers, regardless of Catherine and her immediate successors. These pan-Slavic circles had grown suspicious and envious of the prosperous Volga Germans, who lost the liberty to rule themselves, to instruct their children in the German language, and to avoid conscription into the RUSSIAn army. The abrogation of these concessions prompted the Volga Germans to take advantage of an escape clause in the second of Catherine's TWO manifestos of invitations: the right to quit RUSSIA at any time after paying a tax on profits made in the empire. ONE of the destinations this time, after careful consideration and exploration by a group of scouts appointed by the colonists, was North America--specifically the fertile Great Plains of the U.S. Others chose to migrate to South America, where they settled in Brazil and Argentina (Walters 1982). Typical of the movement was the settlement of Ellis and Rush counties in Kansas, where between THREE and FOUR thousand Catholic Volga Germans eventually locateDIED They founded the settlements of Herzog (Victoria), MUNJOR, Katherinestadt, (Catherine), Liebenthal, Schoenchen, and Pfeifer (Walters 1982). Several KRANNAWITTER families and individuals from OBERMONJOU are known to have migrated to America. The following paragraphs detail the dates of their arrivals, their ultimate destinations, and the different spellings of the surname they utilizeDIED The number in superscript between the immigrant's given name and surname indicate the number of his or her generation of descent from Johannes Krannewitter, the original Volga-German settler. The parentheses after the immigrant's surname enclose a complete list of the names and generation numbers of each of his or her KRANNAWITTER ancestors leading up to Johannes Krannewitter. This is same pattern will be used throughout this book--except when the type must be single-spaced, in which event brackets will enclose the number of the generation of descent. Chapter THREE, entitled AN ELEVEN-GENERATION REGISTER OF SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JAHANNES KRANNEWITTER AND ANNA ELIZABETA SATTLER, contains a complete description of each KRANNAWITTER immigrant's family. Brothers Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER both move to the U.S. albeit at different times. Johannes came to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas as single man in 1876. ONE of the original settlers of MUNJOR, Kansas, he later MARRIED Helen LEIKER. Raymond came to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS 1901 with his second wife Mary Krapp, son John KRANNAWITTER (who was Raymond's son by his first wife Maria Catherine DECHANT--John is the author's grandfather), and daughters Julia and Rosa KRONEWITTer (who were the oldest children of Raymond and Mary). Later, another daughter, Katherine KRONEWITTer, and a son, Joseph KRONEWITTer, were BORN in the U.S. Joseph and his sisters spelled their name KRONEWITTer, as do their descendants today. Raymond's brother Johannes and his family migrated to the U.S. in 1901, they spent a short time in ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas; then they, too, moved to New Mexico where Raymond worked with his brother. In 1907, Raymond and his family moved back to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS and settled near Schoenchen. Many years later, ONE of Johannes' sons, Michael KRANNAWITTER, also moved back to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS and settled near Severin, located about FIVE miles northwest of Catherine. Stories The rest of Johannes' children remained in New Mexico, but he and his wife also eventually returned to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS where they settled in Hays, the county seat (Pleve 1998; KRANNAWITTER (Michael J. 1993.) Margareta KRANNAWITTER, widow of Johann LEIKER, moved to MUNJOR, ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, with her children in 1876. Her son, Peter LEIKER, was ONE of the FIVE scouts sent in 1874 by the Catholic Volga-German colonies to explore the possibilities of establishing settlements in the central plains of the U.S. (Pleve 1998; LEIKER (Victor C. 1976.) Magdalena Younger, widow of Franz Krannewitter, accompanied her daughter Barbara Krannewitter and Barbara's husband John Pfannnensteil to MUNJOR, Kansas, by 1880. Franz was the brother of Johannes Krannewitter who was the father of Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER, discussed above. (Pleve 1998; Meyer 1976). Maria Elizabeth Krannewitter (KRONEWITTer) was the sister of Franz and Johannes mentiONEd in the paragraph above. She and her husband John ROHR also moved to MUNJOR by 1880 (Pleve 1998; Meyer 1976). In 1878, brothers Michael and Joseph Kranewitter--who were brothers of the U.S. immigrants Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER discussed above--migrated to the province of Entrée Rios, Argentina, with their adoptive parents Joseph and Catalina (Unrein) Wendler. They were among the founders of the Volga-German settlement of Marienthal (Valle Maria), located about 25 miles south of the city of Parana (Wendler 1990; Kranewitter (Vicente) 1990). Raphael Kranewitter--who was probably the brother of Johannes, Raymond, Michael, and Joseph--remained in RUSSIA. His descendents are profiled in Chapter FIVE (Dreher Katharina) 1995). Adam Kranewitter and his family moved to Valle Maria, Argentina, in 1878. They were also among the founders of that settlement (Pleve 1998; Kranewitter (Vincent) 1990. Johannes "Weisse" Kranewitter and his wife Margaretha C. LEIKER migrated to Valle Maria in 1880. John Conrad Kranewitter and his family also migrated to Brazil in 1877 and then to Valle Maria in 1880 (PLeve 1998; Kranewitter (Vicente 1990). Raymond KRONEWITT moved first to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas, in 1902, and later to the Peace River valley of Alberta, Canada, in 1913. Raymond's aunt Anna Maria Krannewitter and her husband John BOOS and their children migrated to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS in 1892. Raymond KRONEWITT's first cousins Peter and Frank Kronwitter moved to the U.S.--Peter in 1903 and Frank in 1904. Peter and his wife Dorothea BOOS returned to RUSSIA in 1924 and died there. ONE of their daughters Anna Kron (e)witter and her husband John DECHANT moved to the Peace River valley of Alberta in 1915. Peter's brother Frank Kronwitter and his family settled in Pueblo, Colorado. (See Chapter FIVE). (Pleve 1998; Krapp; 1986; DECHANT 1987). Present-day descendants of the FIVE KRANNAWITTER/Kron(e)witter families who migrated to North America, the SIX Kranewitter families who migrated to South America and TWO of the Kranewitter families stayed in RUSSIA are listed in Chapters FOUR and FIVE. Chapter FOUR, current listings of related Volga-German families and individuals, as well as the many U.S. families that have variant spellings of the surname and do not have an obvious connection to the Volga-German families. The families are ranked according to the frequency of appearance of each particular spelling in the U.S. telephONE directories or in other U.S. indexes. Also discussed are the areas in the U.S. where there are high concentrations of these families. Various immigration records, the social security Death index, and listings found on the internet were also used to compile this data. Chapter FIVE, A FOCUS On RELATED KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON RELATED KRAANEWITTER FAMILIES LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND GERMANY, provides up-to-date listings of the KRONEWITT families in Canada, Kranewitter families in Argentina, and Kranewitter families who chose to remain in what later became the Soviet Union. The information for the American KRONEWITT and Kranewitter descendents came from Internet directories. The information for the RUSSIAn Kranewitter descendants came from private correspondence. These RUSSIAn families underwent terrible ordeals to attain their present positions. Between 1876 and 1914, around 200,000 Volga Germans migrated to Siberia, the U.S. Canada, and countries in South America. The number of Volga Germans that remained in what later became the Volga German Republic increased to around 600,000 in 1914. In 1912, the population of OBERMONJOU had reached 2,882. By 1926, it had fallen to 2,157, due largely to a deadly famine that had swept through the Volga colonies, which were already devastated by crop failures in 1920 and 1921. The previous disastrous effects of WWI and the resulting civil strife and anti-German sentiment added to the misfortunes of the German settlers. The tyrannical policies of Josef Stalin--brutally enforced by his communist cohorts, another widespread famine in 1932, the con script ion of the young men of the towns into the Soviet army, and the banishment of property holders to prison camps all contributed to the steady decline of OBERMONJOU and the other Volga-German towns. The final blow came during WWII when the German army was approaching the Volga region. Stalin, fearing collaboration of the Volga Germans with the enemy, ordered the banishment of the entire population in AUGUST, 1941, along with the abrogation of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans were resettled in Siberia and Kazakhstan (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). Among those people resettled were several Kranewitter families. The author has contacted TWO descendants of these families: Vladimir Kranewitter and Katherine Dreher. Their story and the story of other relatives still living in RUSSIA and Kazakhstan aware recounted in Chapter 5, A FOCUS ON RELATED KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON RELATED KRANEWITTER FAMILIES LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND GERMANY. Now that the RUSSIAn Government has eased restrictions on the German minority, more are trickling back to the former Volga German Republic near Savator. However, because the RUSSIAn economic situation is so bleak at the present time, many others are filling out the countless forms and submitting the endless documents necessary to immigrate to Germany.

These families and individuals are not obviously related to the Krannewitter couple that settled in OBERMONJOU, RUSSIA, in 1767, Any concentration of families with a similar spelling of the surname is noteDIED Sources for this information were also telephONE directories found on the internet. Chapter SEVEN, A TRIBUTE TO WILFRED W. KRANNAWITTER (1924-1970), RADIOMAN SECOND CLASS, U.S.S. SARASOTA APA 204, WWII, IS A MEMORIAL to the author's father. Wilfred W. ("Willie") KRANNAWITTER served in the south Pacific at the end of WWII. His ship, the Attack Transport U.S.S. Sarasota APA 204, took part in the battle of WWII-- the Battle of Okinawa. This chapter includes an itinerary of all the ports of call and war-time duties of the Sarasota. Also included are photographs, a history of the Sarasota's post-war activities, and an artistic rendition of the ship itself. After the war, Wilfred bought land and went into farming and stock rising. He later fought a personal battle against the neurological disease Guillain-Barre Syndrome for 17 years before it claimed his life in 1970. (See figures 22-24). CHAPTER EIGHT, BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF TWELVE NOTED KRANNAWITTER, KRANEWITTER, KRONEWITT, AND KRONA WITTER INDIVIDUALS IN THE U.S., CANADA, ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, AUSTRIA, GERMANY, AND AUSTRIA, contains information about the lives of EIGHT notable Volga-German relatives: THREE descended from the KRONEWITT family that migrated to Argentina, and ONE descended from ONE of the Kranewitter families that remained in RUSSIA.

The BIBLIOGRAPHY LIST is an alphabetical arrangement of every source used to compile this book. The list includes books, booklets, Magazine articles, Internet Websites, death records, published and unpublished family histories, private correspondence, census, and other records. The last section of this book is a surname index which consists of an alphabetical list of the surname KRANNAWITTER have already been discussed in this introduction. The reader will notice that in many instances in this book there are also several spellings for certain given names--for example, Catherine, Catharine, Catharina, Katharina, Catalina, etc. The reason for this is that each given name is presented as it was spelled in the record that it was extracted from, as are the surnames. To make matters worse, from 1773 to 1775 Emyliano Pugachev and his followers staged a rebellion against Catherine. They also encouraged the Kirghiz to stage a rebellion of their own. InTENsifying raids against the German settlements. Large areas of the Volga colonists were devastateDIED Some of Pugachev's followers, including about 100 Germans recruited from other Volga colonies, entered the town of Katherinenstadt, where they harassed and robbed the inhabitants of horses and guns. Katherinenstadt, the largest of the Volga colonists on the Wiesenseite, was only about FIVE miles southwest of OBERMONJOU. Amid all these tragedies, men totally unaccustomed to the rigors of farming were forced to learn that trade. Crop failures in the early years added to the colonists' desperation (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). After TWO generations of colonists had lived and died, conditions for the German settlers along the lower Volga slowly began to improve. They eventually prevailed and prospereDIED As the original Mother Colonies became too crowded, Daughter Colonies were establisheDIED Fortunately, the colony of OBERMONJOU was never attacked by Kirghiz or by Pugachev's rebels. In 1767, 299 people (82 families) had founded OBERMONJOU. TWO years later, the population was 324 (91 families). By 1798, when the first comprehensive census of OBERMONJOU was taken, the population had grown to 429. Through the 19th century, the population steadily increased as living conditions improveDIED But the good times were soon to end (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). The number of Volga Germans that remained in what later became the Volga German Republic increased to around 600,000 in 1914. In 1912, the population of OBERMONJOU had reached 2,882. By 1926, it had fallen to 2,157, due largely to a deadly famine that had swept through the Volga colonies, which were already devastated by crop failures in 1920 and 1921. The previous disastrous effects of WWI and the resulting civil strife and anti-German sentiment added to the misfortunes of the German settlers. The tyrannical policies of Josef Stalin--brutally enforced by his communist cohorts, another widespread famine in 1932, the con script ion of the young men of the towns into the Soviet army, and the banishment of property holders to prison camps all contributed to the steady decline of OBERMONJOU and the other Volga-German towns. The final blow came during WWII when the German army was approaching the Volga region. Stalin, fearing collaboration of the Volga Germans with the enemy, ordered the banishment of the entire population in AUGUST, 1941, along with the abrogation of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans were resettled in Siberia and Kazakhstan (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914). Among those people resettled were several Kranewitter families. The author has contacted TWO descendants of these families: Vladimir Kranewitter and Katherine Dreher. Their story and the story of other relatives still living in RUSSIA and Kazakhstan aware recounted in Chapter 5, A FOCUS ON RELATED KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON RELATED KRANEWITTER FAMILIES LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND GERMANY. Now that the RUSSIAn Government has eased restrictions on the German minority, more are trickling back to the former Volga German Republic near Savator. However, because the RUSSIAn economic situation is so bleak at the present time, many others are filling out the countless forms and submitting the endless documents necessary to immigrate to Germany. Katharina Dreher, mentiONEd above, and her family have joined the thousands of Volga Germans who have returned to their motherlanDIED Chapter SIX, OTHER FAMILIES WITH VARIANT SPELLINGS OF THE KRANNAWITTER SURNAME LIVING IN EURAOPE AND SOUTH AMERICA, contains statistics on the hundreds of families scattered throughout Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Paraguay who have different versions of the surname KRANNAWITTER.

Notes For Alexander LEIKER: Alex had a severely damaged heart with leakage of the valves causing the heart to enlarge to double its normal size. He had rheumatic fever at the age of 14. Alex worked as a farmer, carpenter, and a sheet metal man. He was a quality carpenter as he was quiet, patient and articulate in whatever he starteDIED The way he taught his sons how to saw wood reflected his approach to life and people in general. He said that you let the saw ride without effort and never force it. He related that if ONE forces something, it just gets much harder to accomplish. He did not have taste for discipline his children and would rarely become irritated or angry. When he had to discipline he did it only half-hearted. It was obvious that he had his Mother's compassion and patience. The year prior to his death, he built a new home for the family and did all the finished carpentry work himself. He had to rest for extended periods of time but then would proceed to work again. After Christmas he developed pneumonia and died JANUARY 3, 1953 of a combination of pneumonia, congestive heart failure and lung cancer.

Notes for Christina ENSLINGER: Christina was a farmer, creamery and feed story operator, an avid gardener, ironed clothes for a living and her last employment was as a housekeeper for St. Anthony's Hospital until she retired Her husband was an invalid due to a severe heart condition and so she primarily had to be the provider and care giver. She was only 4' 10" tall and was called "Christina." She had TEN children of which the first was still-BORN after a very difficult birth. She almost single-handed raised NINE children, made sure they all went to High school and they never went hungry. She made sure they had proper clothing even if she had to sew most of the items herself. They were never without proper shelter or medical care. She routinely would butcher 50 chickens, with the assistance of the children, in ONE day and would sell them to a local hospital. Her garden was large with a wide assortment of vegetables and for many years grew THREE acres of potatoes. She canned anything not consumed immediately including beef and pork. A typical Saturday meant baking a dozen pies. Bread was baked at least every day. She baked many wedding cakes. On Mondays she washed and it was no uncommon for her to wash as many as twenty loads plus loads of wash and iron up to forty shirts since she had SIX sons and a husband Until 1952 she cooked on a kerosene stove, had no refrigerator, and used gas iron to iron clothing. Her washing machine was a gas powered machine. More about Christina ENSLINGER:Burial: NOVEMBER 1988, Buried in St. Joseph CeMARRIED in Liebenthal, Kansas.

He MARRIED (1) Maria Catharina ? in Ober-mandershield/Rhineland-Pfaz, Germany. She was BORN 1727 in Ober-Mandereid-Treir, Rhineland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate), Germany and died About 1767 in Mariental, (Tonoshurovkas), RUSSIA. He MARRIED (2) Sophia Maragaretha DINKEL in Mariental (Tonokoshurovkas), Samara, RUSSIA, daughter of Nika*olaus DINKEL and Anna ? She was BORN 1750 in Wittlich-Trier, Rhineland, Palatinate), Germany Notes for Peter PFANNENSTIEL: Peter came from craftsmen of Kurtrier Kurfust and grain farmers of the town of TuTENburg/Tudelback. He is referred to as Pter at times and other times as Johann so his name is probaly Johann Peter and he genrally he was know n as Peter. His family was Catholic. He was captured by the Khirgiz in a raid on Mariental in 1774 and never heard from again. The 1767 census lists him and his family from Trier, Ober Mandersheid, Germany. This family adopted TWO oldest children (daughters). Their step-mother was a wife of the coloniust, Peter Hertz, who died in the colony: The girls were Mary Elizabetha, Age 13, and Anna Maria, age 10 years of age. Peter and his brother Michael arrived in Mariental in 1767 with their families. The colonies, intially wre named after their leader and Peter PFANNENSTIEL was the first leader so the Colony was named PFANNENSTIEL and later changed to Mariental. Peter's wife died shortly after arriving in Mariental as she was the first settler to die. He MARRIED a second wife. In 1774 the Khirgiz raided several colonies including Mariental killing many people and taking them as prisONErs. ONE of the PrisONErs was Peter. He was never heard from again. In the Beideck, RUSSIA village census of 1798, the following account is given regarding the surviving second spouse of Peter PFANNENSTIEL. Sophia Margaretha PFANNENSTIEL, age 42, (she MAY have been 48) she and her son have resided temporarialy in several colonies since 1784 (should have been 1774) when her husband (Johann PFANNENSTIEL) was captured from Mariental by the Khirgiz; while in these colonies she adopted these children; her son has not paid the 3 nible tax. Children are listed as follows: Johann Adams 20 (Identified as Johann Adam PFANNENSTIEL) Johann Fredrichs 8illegitimate son, surname no listed Johann Christians 6 illegitimate son, surname not listed Johann Tobias s 3illegitimate son, surname not listed Anna Margaretha 212illegitimate daughter, surname not listed Johann Adam listed can not be the sme as Johann Adam born 1768 (age 30) since Johann Adam born 1768 was MARRIED with THREE children under the age of 6, living with his wife in Ober-MUNJOU (Kriwoskoje), Samara, RUSSIA Trier, Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany was probaly staging area and thus many people had TWO towns listed, ONE probably being their home town and the other the staging area. There also were far more people that had Treir listed as their point of origin than probably lived in the relatively small town of Trier. Thus, the individuals listed as having originated in Trier, Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany MAY have had their home village elsewhere. More about Peter PFANNENSTIEL: Immigration: JUNE 16, 1766, To Mariental (Tonkoshurovka(, RUSSIA Notes for Maria Catharina ? Arrived JUNE 16, 1766, Mariental (Tonkoshurovka), RUSSIA Notes for Sophia Margaretha DINKEL: Sophia DINKEL was the only girl with the name of Sophia that was listed in the oringinal settlers list so she had to bne the Sophia Margarerha that MARRIED the "PFANNENSTIEL" after his first wife awas the first settler to die in Mariental. Peter's brother Michael MARRIED another woman after he was released from captivity so had he MARRIED Sophia, he would not have been able to remarry since Sophia was still alive. ONE has to conclude that it was Peter's first wife who was the first settler to die. Trier, Rhineland-Pfaz, Germany was probaly a staging area and thus many people had TWO towns listed, ONE probaly being their home town and the other the staging area. There also were far more people that had Trier lsited as their point of origin than probaly lived in the relatively small townof Trier.

JoSEPTEMBERhine Pfannenstiel MARRIED JoSEPTEMBERh Urban Character study on Christof & Helen Stoecklein The thoughts and recollections of them come to us through their youngest dAUGUSThter, who at this writing was still living in Hays, Kansas. She is Catherine Zimmerman (Stoecklein). Both her parents, Christof and Helen came over to America on the same steam boat "SUEVIA" which landed in New York on AUGUSTust 3, 1876. With the help of guides and contacts there, they traveled westward, until they eventually landed in Victoria, KS. With this famous father, Peter Stoecklein, who was one of the five scouts to America from Russia before this trip took place, Christof and the Peter Stoecklein family finally moved to Munjor, Kansas. Christof was 17 years old at the time they came to America. There were six children living, as they landed and Christof was the third oldest living, but the fourth oldest born, since the oldest dAUGUSThter Anna died on the voyage, and had to be buried at sea. The first job was to find work, and to. raise money. Christof and his three brothers go some work on the United Pacific Rail4roaDIED His father, Peter Stoecklein, obtained a Homestead certificate # 991 in Wakeny, Kansas on AUGUSTust 1, 1883. He got 80 acres of land, seven miles south of Hays, KS. CHristof also got a Homestead Certificate #2854, adjacent to his fathers land, on AUGUSTust 7, 1888. He married Helena Herklotz on JANUARYuary 26, 1880, in Munjor, Kansas. With the Homestead Certificate,, he obtained 180 acres of land right adjacent to his father, Peter Stoecklein. He farmed this land, as well as some plots of land near by, until his son Alexander went into the army for World War I. He then moved to Munjor, where he had a small home, and lived in their small Munjor home for the remainder of his life. He was always very quiet and never got overly exciteDIED He bore his burden of poverty graciously and his family honored him for it. He had cancer, and was sick quite a number of years. He died DECEMBER. 2, 1936, at the age of 76 years. He was married 56 years and reared their nine children. She was commonly called by the endearing name of "Lehnya". Her parents were Gottfried Herklotz and Mary Catherine Boos. When the people were making ready to leave Russia for America, Helena desperately want to come along to America with her brother Carl Anton. Carl gave his parents a solemn promise that he personally would take care of "Little Lehnya." So, with that assurance, she came along. According to church records, she was born in "Paninskojje", or Schoenchen Russia, on MARCH 2, 1859. She came on the same boat as Christof. When Helena's group went Westward, they first land in Leibenthal, and from there to Schoenchen, KS. Helena was by nature a kind girl and one who always helped others. She was happiest when she could do someone a favor. This story tells something about her spirit of congeniality. "She spent most of her life on her feet." This happened on the earliest times in Ellis County, The family needed jobs and money desperately. Her brother Carl told her that there were jobs in Salina, Kansas. "How do were eget there?" Henea askeDIED "we walk there" was the answer. So they set our toward Salina, Kansas via the railroad tracks. When they finally got there, Helena's legs and feet were terribly sore and swollen. They took off their shoes but they couldn't get them back on again. So, Helena sat around the track, while her brother went to look for jobs. Luckily, after some time, he did return, with jobs for both of the MARRIED So they worked in Salina for a time. Christof anDIED Helen were married in Munjor and started their life of their own. This started a long fifty six years of married life for them on the farm, which was situated seven miles south of Hays, KS. Here she spent many years with busy hands and busy feet. She always had a nice garden on that farMARRIEDIED She grew many vegetables. One time she had an exceptionally large watermelon. She took this melon and toted it on foot, to Hays and sold it. With the money she brought back several shirts for Christof and his younger brother and a few other little things. She was very tired, but when she was the happy faces on the men who got the shirts, she forgot her pains and was just as happy as they were. It was harder to tell who was happier, the recipient or the giver. Schooling was not open to all the children. The younger ones got to go, but not so the older ones, since they were needed on the farMARRIED After they moved down to Munjor, he did practically no work. His health was failing. It was common sight to see him on the porch, rocking himself and smoking his pipe, while she kept raising around and in and out of the house. He finally died of cancer, and following this, she would stay with the children of her family, spending some time with all of the MARRIED She spent most of her years in Hays, where she died at the age of 92 years. All in Hays neighborhood where she stayed, knew her and loved her. She never wore a hat in her life. She always wore dark clothes and a kerchief over her head called a "Babushka." After she died, the people missed that familiar figure, dressed in dark, walking to church, with the quick rapid steps. Reflections on Carl and Anna (Doefler) Stoecklein Carl H. Stoecklein was second oldest of the Christof and Helena Stoecklein family. The older children of Christof had to do a lot of heavy work in the family, since there was no help from any outside the family. The beginning years of the Stoecklin family were hard years. Carl was born SEPTEMBERtember 1, 1883, in Munjor, KS. He lived on his father's farm about seven miles south of Hays, KS. At the age of 21 years, on OCTOBERober 25, 1904, he got married to Anna Doefler, in Munjor, Kansas. By this time, the ninth child was already born, and the Grandparents' family was already on handed After this marriage with Anna, they moved a few miles south of Munjor, KS. They lived there until 1907. Their farming and family increased, so they sold this small farm and came to Ness City, of Ness County, and bought a quarter section of land south of Ness City. In a few years latter, they bought another quarter section. They also rented some land to farMARRIED Added to this, they had some cattle, mostly for their own use and hogs and chickens. Farming was a family affair, and with five healthy boys, he got the work done. Carl was remembered as a tall, lanky and quiet man, with good judgment and a good father. He died DECEMBERember 8, 1970 in Ness County, Ness City, age 66 years. Anna Doefler, the mother, was born FEBRUARYruary. 16, 1886. She was the dAUGUSThter of Conrad DOEFLER AND Elizabeth Schumacher. Elizabeth was the widow of Stanislaus Ruder and second wife of Conrad Doefler. This pair raised eleven children, one boy and one girl died young. The education of the parents was quite elemental, because the circumstances, were quite different than they were for their children. They were all educated in the schools, and even high school. Raising the folder on the farm was different from raising them in a city, where the father was in businesses. On the farms, both the father and mother were present to control and mold the family. This they did with equal authority. It was a busy farm, but a happy farMARRIED They were most generous hosts when relatives and friends visited the MARRIED Deep religious instructions were always top priority. As could be seen from their children, the Faith was deeply implant Died Anna Died Augustus 5, 1971 in Ness City, age 85 years. 2. The John and Anna Margaret Schumacher Family John Schumacher was born in Munjor, NOVEMBERember 6, 1883. His parents were Anton Schumacher and Pauline (Ruder). John's father moved to Victoria, and had a General Merchandise store there in Victoria. He seemed to do well. John showed great interest in the business, so his father sent him to Salina, Kansas, to attend a business school there, so as to be able to run the affairs of the store. John married Anna Margaret Stoecklein on NOVEMBER, 22, 1904 in Victoria, KS. Business must have been good, because John’s father opened another store in Ellis, KS which John was destined to manage. This he did with great energy and dedication. John was business and Anna Margaret took care of the family. The two first children, of the five were born in Victoria. Those who vested at the Schumacher home, were always met with a family that was enthusiastic and the welcome was warm and cordial. It was a real tragedy when John contacted a serious illness, and before toad long, died, living the mother the chore of raising the five children. Anna Margaret, or "Ammagrate" as she was usually called, was the mother of this small and unfulfilled family. She was born in Munjor, KS, FEBRUARYruary 21, 1886. She was, as were many of the girls of the Stoecklein family, very calm, and quiet, but a very good mother. When her husband John died, she immediately inherited a bundle of responsibility. There were now five children, the last girl, Lietta, being born only three months after her father's death. How to finance a family of five children, was a real probleMARRIED The grandmother, Mrs. Pauline Schumacher was a fair Godmother to this family. She took care of the furnishing of the clothing of the children and also many other sundry needs of the children. Added to that, Anna Margaret inherited 320 acres of land out near Ogalla, Kansas, from her grandfather Schumacher. This helped to keep body and soul together. Additional income was on hand through Anna Margaret's daily work as seamstress, which she built up into a business, but which was conducted from her home. She did not live far from the church, so when the priests needed someone who could cook for them, Anna Margaret was always glad to oblige. The priests paid MAY evening social calls on her to encourage her in her big task. The children were in all agreement about their mother's character: She was extremely kind and never had an enemy. She was most generous with her help and work. She died at the age of 87 years, after a completed full life. Adam Rohleder MARRIED to Eva Maria, migrated to Gross-Winternheim in 1670. Nowhere does it say where they came froMARRIED He was a master tailor. He belonged to the Catholic parish. He was a respected man and elected major of the city. Philip Rohleder Son of Adam was born in 1673. Johann Theodore Rohleder Son of Philip was born in 1708 and died in 1793, at age 85 in OberIngelheiMARRIED Peter Rohleder Born in 1732 died in 1779 at age 47 in Ober-Ingelheim Dr. Hellriegel told me to write to Scwabenheim, Germany where he felt records would show those who in 1765 migrated from Germany. Peter Rohleder married Catherine Niederquell. (Both lived in Russia) approx. 1800. The Niederquells were of the Lutheran faith. It is note-worthy that Niderquell is found today in Mainz, Germany near the village where the Rholeders live. Anton Rohleder married Barbara Meier. (Both lived and died in Russia). Anton died JANUARY. 13, 1903 and Barbara died AUGUST. 24, 1907. Nicholas Rohleder married Clementina Geier; 2 Mary Herman. The name was also spelled Herrmann, and Herman. Nicholas was born MARCH 25, 1861 in Graf, Russia and died APRIL 14, 1939 in Victoria, Kansas. His 1st wife Clementina was born in Graf, Russia and died in North Brothers Island, New York in Mar of 1892. Nicholas had 2 children from this wife: Mary born in 1888 and Peter or Pete in 1890. Nicholas Rohleder and Clemintina and the 2 children left Graf, Russia for America in the early part of 1892. They boarded the S.S. Gelelrt in Hamburg, Germany and after a long trip landed in New York Mar 14, 1892. When they arrived Clemintina was sick with a contagious disease. She died shortly thereafter and in buried in North Brothers Island, New York. Nicholas then came west with the 2 small children to Victoria, KS early in 1892. His aunt Catherine (Rohleder) Dreiling helped with the children. One can imagine the grief, the heartache as Nicholas left his young wife behind in a cemetery in New York and the train trip with the two small children must have seemed like an eternity until he reached Victoria, KS. He was a typical German man, stoic, religious and great faith. This is what sustained his difficult time. On JANUARY. 16, 1893, Nicholas married Mary Herman, a single girl and dAUGUSThter of Anton Herman and Elizabeth Dreiling. He was 32 years old and Mary was 20 years olDIED Mary had a fairly good backgrounDIED She was the great-granddAUGUSThter of Barbara Goetz and John Dreiling III-2 fine families in the history of our people.

The Descendants of Peter Pfannenstiel Peter Pfannenstiel was born 1753 in Ober-Mandershield-Treir, Rhine-Pfaz (Rhineland-Palatine), Germany, and died 1774 in Kidnapped by the Khirgiz and never heard from again. He married (1) Maria Catharina ? in Ober-mandershield/Rhineland-Pfaz, Germany. She was born 1727 in Ober-Mandereid-Treir, Rhineland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate), Germany and died Abt. 1767 in Mariental, (Tonoshurovkas), Russia. He married (2) Sophia Maragaretha Dinkel in Mariental (Tonokoshurovkas), Samara, Russia, daughter of Nika*olaus Dinkel and Anna ? She was born 1750 in Wittlich-Trier, Rhineland, Palatinate), Germany Notes for Peter Pfannenstiel: Peter came from craftsmen of Kurtrier Kurfust and grain farmers of the town of Tutenburg/Tudelback. He is referred to as Pter at times and other times as Johann so his name is probaly Johann Peter and he genrally he was know n as Peter. His family was Catholic. He was captured by the Khirgiz in a raid on Mariental in 1774 and never heard from again. The 1767 census lists him and his family from Trier, Ober Mandersheid, Germany. This family adopted two oldest children (daughters). Their step-mother was a wife of the coloniust, Peter Hertz, who died in the colony: The girls were Mary Elizabetha, Age 13, and Anna Maria, age 10 years of age. Peter and his brother Michael arrived in Mariental in 1767 with their families. The colonies, intially wre named after their leader and Peter Pfannenstiel was the first leader so the Colony was named Pfannenstiel and later changed to Mariental. Peter's wife died shortly after arriving in Mariental as she was the first settler to die. He married a second wife. In 1774 the Khirgiz raided several colonies including Mariental killing many people and taking them as prisoners. One of the Prisoners was Peter. He was never heard from again. In the Beideck, Russia village census of 1798, the following account is given regarding the surviving second spouse of Peter Pfannenstiel. Sophia Margaretha Pfannenstiel, age 42, (she may have been 48) she and her son have resided temporarialy in several colonies since 1784 (should have been 1774) when her husband (Johann Pfannenstiel) was captured from Mariental by the Khirgiz; while in these colonies she adopted these children; her son has not paid the 3 nible tax. Children are listed as follows: Johann Adams 20 (Identified as Johann Adam Pfannenstiel) Johann Fredrichs 8illegitimate son, surname no listed Johann Christians 6 illegitimate son, surname not listed Johann Tobias s 3illegitimate son, surname not listed Anna Margaretha 212illegitimate daughter, surname not listed Johann Adam listed can not be the sme as Johann Adam b. 1768 (age 30) since Johann Adam b. 1768 was married with three children under the age of 6, living with his wife in Ober-Munjou (Kriwoskoje), Samara, Russia Trier, Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany was probaly staging area and thus many people had two towns listed, one probably being their home town and the other the staging area. There also were far more people that had Treir listed as their point of origin than probably lived in the relatively small town of Trier. Thus, the individuals listed as having originated in Trier, Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany may have had their home village elsewhere. More about Peter Pfannenstiel: Immigration: June 16, 1766, To Mariental (Tonkoshurovka(, Russia Notes for Maria Catharina ? Arrived June 16, 1766, Mariental (Tonkoshurovka), Russia Notes for Sophia Margaretha Dinkel: Sophia Dinkel was the only girl with the name of Sophia that was listed in the oringinal settlers list so she had to bne the Sophia Margarerha that married the "Pfannenstiel" after his first wife awas the first settler to die in Mariental. Peter's brother Michael married another woman after he was released from captivity so had he married Sophia, he would not have been able to remarry since Sophia was still alive. One has to conclude that it was Peter's first wife who was the first settler to die. Trier, Rhineland-Pfaz, Germany was probaly a staging area and thus many people had two towns listed, one probaly being their home town and the other the staging area. There also were far more people that had Trier lsited as their point of origin than probaly lived in the relatively small townof Trier. Thus, the individuals listed as having originated in Trier, Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany may have had their home village elsewhere. Children of Peter Pfannenstiel and Maria ?

They brought with them a daughter, Barbara STEINBOCK who was BORN JUNE 3, 1893 who was 11 years old and Henry STEINBOCK who was BORN: date unknown. There was another child BORN to them in RUSSIA who died there. They settled in Wamega, Kansas as Alois was a railroader. On NOVEMBER 3, 1906, his wife, Elizabeth gave birth to Triplets: TWO boys and a girl. Their names were Adam, Susanna and Joseph. Alois's wife, Elizabeth died on NOVEMBER 16, 1906. Alois didn't have the means to care for the triplets and work, too, so he wanted them to be adopted by Catholic families. Susanna was adopted by: George and Barbara Prockish and the boys still hadn't been adopteDIED They were all baptized on NOVEMBER 5, 1906 at St. Bernards Church, Wamega, Kansas. Sponsors were: Adam ReichenBORN, Mrs. George Gareis and Joseph Macht. Susanna got ill and died Feborn 28, 1907 at Wamega, Kans. Susanna and her Mother are buried on the same plot at the Wamega cemetery. NOTE: Aunt Jane GOTTSCHALK looked up this information in 1995 and located the grave and put a tombstONE there. I have certificates of births, Baptisms and newspaper articles of Elizabeth and Susanna on their death, and church records of the cemetery plots all obtained from Aunt Jane GOTTSCHALK, Hays, Kansas Then in 1907, Alois, Barbara and Henry headed west and there's where he met and MARRIED Agatha Wasinger Werth on Jan. 15, 1909. Barbara would have been 15 years old at this time. It has been said that Barbara was doing housekeeping for the Bahl's, possibly her stepmother's sister Annie Bahl and, as the story goes, there was a Werth in Schoenchen who was a matchmaker and got John C. BEFORT and Barbara STEINBOCK to marry on OCTOBER 24, 1911 making her 18 years olDIED NOTE; I don't have much on Henry STEINBOCK. I do know he and his wife, Mary, had TWO daughters and lived in Chicage, Ill. I have the original photos of Henry and Mary and another ONE of Henry, Mary and the TWO girls. I also have the large oval pictures of Barbara and John C. BEFORT on their wedding day and ONE of Henry STEINBOCK. I would like to find the members down from Henry if anyONE can help me obtain this information. I was told he died in the 1960's. NOTE; Aunt Jane GOTTSCHALK never could find where Alois STEINBOCK was buried or where the TWO boys were placeDIED I have TWO people working on the Aloysius STEINBOCK genealogy from the Topeka area as of this week. According to church records, he spelled his name Aloysius. Barbara STEINBOCK is my Aunt. And yes, the last name was spelled wrong in Mothers obituary, but I was over- ruled on that. I was disgusted when I found out the truth after the fact when I went through Mother's things and found some letters written to my Mother from Grace STEINBOCK. I didn't know her Uncle Joe and Aunt Grace, but when I came upon these letters, I sent Grace a letter and obituary advising her of Mothers death. Then ONE day, I got a call from Grace and we talked for an hour. I did get to meet her JULY 1, 2002, just a few weeks ago. This is where I got all these writings. Very interesting.

Geist (8) August Linenberger Married Mary Quint Raymond Linenberger Married Rosa Stecklein The John and Anna Margaret Schumacher Family John Schumacher was born in Munjor, November 6, 1883. His parents were Anton Schumacher and Pauline (Ruder). John's father moved to Victoria, and had a General Merchandise store there in Victoria. He seemed to do well. John showed great interest in the business, so his father sent him to Salina, Kansas, to attend a business school there, so as to be able to run the affairs of the store. John married Anna Margaret Stoecklein on Nov, 22, 1904 in Victoria, KS. Business must have been good, because John'f father opened another store in Ellis, KS which JOhn was destined to manage. This he did with great energy and dedication. John was business and Anna Margaret took care of the family. The twoa first children, of the five were born in Victoria. Those who visted at the Schumacher home, were always met with a family that was enthusiastic and the welcome was warm and cordial. It was a real tragdy when John contacted a serious illness, and before tood long, died, leving the mother the chore of raising the five children. Anna Margaret, or "Ammagrate" as she was usually called, was the mother of this small and unfulfilled family. She was born in Munjor, KS, February 21, 1886. She was, as were many of the girls of the Stoecklein family, very calm, and quiet, but a very good mother. When her husband John died, she immedicately inherited a bundle of responsibility. There were now five children, the last girl, Lietta, being born only three months after her father's death. How to finance a family of five children, was a real problem. The grandmother, Mrs. Pauline Schumacher was a fair Godmother to this family. She took care of the furnishing of the clothing of the children and also many other sundry needs of the children. Added to that, Anna Margaret inherited 320 acres of land out near Ogalla, Kansas, from her grandfather Schumacher. This helped to keep body and soul together. Additonal income was on hand through Anna Margaret's daily work as seamstress, which she built up into a business, but which was conducted from her home. She did not live far from the church, so when the priests needed someone who could cook for them, Anna Margaret was always glad to oblige. The priests paid may evening social calls on her to encourage her in her big task. The children wre in all agreement about their mother's character: She was extremely kind and never had an enemy. She was msot generous with her help and work. She died at the age of 87 years, after a completed full life.

More abot Michael VonFeldt: Immigration: 1878, Came on SS LEIPZIG Having volunteered to present a genealogical record of the families of BALTHASAR BRUNGARDT and MARGARET nee SCHAMME BRUNGARDT for the 1985 Brungardt family reunion, I have spent many hours this past year corresponding and getting aquainted with family members. My husband Eugene J. Riedel is the direct descendant of the Brungardts, and since I am the writer in our family, I took it upon myself to compile this genealogy. Some of my ancestral information was aquired from the GOLDEN JUBILEE OF GERMAN RUSSIAN SETTLEMENTS OF ELLIS AND RUSH COUNTIES OF KANSAS, 1926; THE VOLGA GERMAN HERITAGE OF KANSAS By Richard Keller for some of the superstitious listed; and the BRUNGARDT GENEALOGY by Helen L. Hall, church records, which I have found are not always correct; and last but not least, all the little tidbits remebered from grandparents growing up. Without these sources of information, this genealogy would not be possible. To all the fine people who were so gacious to retun the family charts, for sending snapshots, and making telephone calls, I give my heartfelt thanks. Without you, I could not have completed this book. To my husband Gene, who has been so patient during the many hours of silence while I sat at the typewriter inmy endeavor to complete this book on time, thank you for your patience. Some of the families' records are not complete, simply becasue I could not locate them, or because I lacked information, or I did not receive any acknowledgement of my letters. It is with regret that I have to omit these families. I wish to add at this point that if someone in the family wishes to explore the family history further, free access to my material will be granted so that our heritage MAY live on for future generations. If errors have been entered, forgive me, they were not intentional. Good luck and I hope you enoy reading the book as much as I have enjoyed working on it. Much research has been doen by members of the Brungardt family. Many aspects have been reached, some conclusive, however, as to the exact region in Germany where the Brungardts originateDIED Prospectity and spiritual unity was shattered in europe during the sixteenth century, when Martin Luther, a Greman Priest, launched a protest against the Pope and Holy Roman Empire. Luther's protestant movement gained him thousands of followers. As a result of the movement, the terrible religious war, caused by Habsburg Emperors to suppress protestantism in Bohemia (now known as Czechoslovakia) and Germany, lasted for thirty years. The many years of constant wasr left Germany so devastated, that when Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, offered what seemed to be a life of ease and plenty of land, the German people made great efforts to emigrate. Our ancestors left their homeland with thousands of others in 1765 to trek across a vast domain, thousands of miles, with only bare necessities and much faith and endurance. Many perished on the way due to old age, illness, and exhaustion. It is believed that the Brungardts were followers of Martin Luther since they were of the Luthern faith. However, upon reaching the steppes of Russia, our ancestoral grandparents made their home in the village of Herzog onm the Meadow-side of the Volga River, and converted to the Catholic faith. Only in our wildest dreams can we imagine the struggle and hardships they had to endure for the first ten years, beginnign with nothing, and then prospering for over hundreds of years. After the death of the Empress Catherine, government laws in Russia changed drastically. The prosperity of the German people angered the Russians, and the era of self-adminsitration came to an enDIED Alexander III, ruler of Russia, met the crying need to reforMARRIED Stirring up unjustly harsh exercises of race against race and religion against religion.

German Cooking One of the desirable still very much in existence are the delicious recipies used in the kitchens of our ancestral homemakers. It is unknown how far in the past that some of these recipies have been useDIED Meat was not always available for the simple reason that it could not be kept very long without spoilage. The homemaker could prepare a meal without meat and it would be fit for a KING. All she needed were the basics of mil;k, cream, eggs, flour, sugar, potatoes, and onions. Animals, mostly hogs, were butchered in early spring, the meat was fried down and put in large crocks or containers, covered with hot lard, and stored in the cellar or cave. Those who were fortunate to have an ice house could keep meat into the latter part of the summer. Thus wa the case of the John MARRIED Brungardt family. Pork put up in the fall of the year was salted down and kepty in a large wooden barrel. It sat outside on the north side of the house where the sun could not reach it, and was covered well with a heavy object to keep animals from getting inside. Head cheese (Liverwurst) made from the head of the hog, when cooked, was trimmed and the meat ground with liver and heart and stuffed into cleaned entails. This was a delicacy, warmed, and eaten for breakfast. Chickens were raised by the hundreds in the summer months from setting hens. When the egges were hatched, the little chickens were taken from the hen and the hen set on another batch of eggs. It took four weeks to hatch one batch of eggs. As many as twelve hens were setting on a batch of usually twelve eggs for each hen. Therefore, chicken was eaten often in the late summer months. Noodles were made every few days. We still use many of the noodle favorites today, such as noodle soup made from either chicken stock or beef, noodles and beans, needle and bean soup seasoned with sour cream, and Kase nedle baked int he oven. These are only a few of the noodle dishes. No doubt, there were many more. On busy days, another favorite and quick meal was the knebble and kartoffel (dumplings and potatoes), or schmarra made of flour, salt, water and eggs, then frieDIED The schmarra was made without potatoes. Rivel soup, green nean soup, sauerkraut soup, bean soup. These are only a few of the sous that were always a treat and were eaten at lest once every day. The delisious baked breads were baked at least every other day. Many varieties of mouth-watering breads came from the ovensof our ancestral homemakers. There were the kuchen and maldasch made with berries, such as the swartzberren brought from their homeland in Russia. The swartzberry, a small black berry, used in pies, kutchen, and maldasch as a desert, and are also cooked with knebble and kartoffel as a main meal. The cellar was stored with vegetables, both canned and dried for winter use--potatoes and onions being on the top of the list. Then ther were the carrots, which could be buried in the ground or in a container filled with sanDIED Flour, sugar and salt were purchased in towen and usually in fifty and hundred pound bags. Then in the fall of the year came the trip tp town to purchase cabbage to make sauerkraut. It was shredded with a kraut cutter and put into a large stone crock, usually a twenty-gallon size. After the cabbage had fermented to the desirable taste, it was packed into jars and sealeDIED Many a table was set with delicious sauerkraut soup, cooked with fresh pork. eas homemaker had her own special way of preparing a dish that carried down to the next genration. Friday was always a ameatless day, because of the religious tradition. Therefore, the dishes of noodles and beans were always a favorite. Sometimes knebble and kartoffel were served for the noon meal. Since the noodles were made of mostly eggs, the protein content was high enough that meat was not necessary. The list of favorite main dishes goes on and on, but I have mentioned the most common ones, and don't they make your mouth water? Bedding All bedding was made by the women in the householDIED Pillows large neough to fit the bed were made and filled with soft corn husks for the mattress. Sugar and flour sacks were sewed together to make sheets. Old clothing made of wool was ripped apart and the best parts were cutout into squares and pieced together to make one large piece to fit the beDIED Several layers of cotton batting was put on the wrong side and a piece of outing flannel to cover the batting, which wa the bottom side of the comforter. The sides were then sewn together and the comforter was tied with cord to holdit together. Pillows large enough to cover the bed were made and filled with geese and duck feathers. This was a feather tick and wa used in the mid-winer months to coverup with. Quilts wre made in the same manner as the comforter, only the materials used were light cotton with a light weight cotton batting between and then stitched by hand to make a pleasing design brief hisotry taken from the Brungardt Genealogy, Volume I, by Helen Hall, tells us that a widow Brungardt, her two sons and a daughter migratted from Germany to Russia in 1767-68. They were of the Luthern Faith. The widow and one son settled in Herzog, Russia and accepted thte Catholic Faith. Here the assumption is made that Adam Brungardt, gradson to the widow Brungardt was born in 1780. He married Katharina Dreiling. Thanks to Helen L. Hall for her research many years ago, we can accept Adam and Katharina Brungardt as our ancestral grandparents. Adam married Katharina Dreiling. He was born in 1780 in Russia and married in Russia. Katharina Dreiling was born in Russia also. They both died in Russia. Children Franz Brungardt married Anna Maria Riedel Magdalena Brungardt married Peter Sander John George Brungardt married Margaret Rome Bathasar Brungardt married Margaret Schmamme Katharina Brungardt married John Kuhn I Elizabeth Brungardt married Christopher Wassinger John Brungardt married Anna Appelhans Only two of the above seven children of Adam and Katharina Brungardt came to America. They werer Franz, married to Anna Maria Riedel, and Magdalena married to Peter Sander. However, all of the descendants of the above seven children came to America unless stated otherwise. Accordingg to the Brungardt Henealogy Volume I the "Brungardts" left Herzog, Russia enroute to America on June 22, 1876, arrived in New York aboard the |North German Lloyd Line "Morsel". After going through customs at port of entry they were allowed to board a train enroute to western Kansas. They arrive in Ellis County on August 3, 1876. I will begain my genealogy with the fourth child of Adam and Katharina Brungardt because of the direct bloodline. Therefore the following families will be direct descendants of Balthazar and Margaret Brungardt. ADAM BRUNGARDT AND KATHARINA DREILING BALTHASAR BRUNGARDT MARRIED MARGARET SCHMAME.

Situtated in the Southeast Quarter of Section 1, Township 14, Range 17 one-half mile north of the English colony of Victoria, it was established by the above founders on April 8, 1876. Eventually the Volga-German community absorbed it English prececessor. About the only remaining English remnant is the name. In 1913 Herzog was changed officially to Victoria. The original founders of Herzog gathered at Saratov from the nine villages of Herzog, Boregard, Liebenthal, Obermonjour, Marienthal, Louis, Neu_obermonjour, Marienburg and graf. They left Saratov on October 24, 1875 - two days after the daparture of the first groups from Katherinenstadt, Kamenka, and Pfeifer. The Herzog group also contained within its membership the future founders of Liebenthal and Schonechen in Rush and Ellis. Sailing from Bremen, Germany on November 2, 1875 (with the other groups previously noted they landed in Baltimore, Maryland on November 23 following a rough, twenty-one day sea voyage. Traveling by train, they arrived in Topeka on November 28. They were quartered for several days in the Kings Bridge Building later part if the Santa Fe shops until rental accommodations could be secured in North Topeka. During the winter of 1875-76 they worked out of Topeka at common labor, on the raliroad, or for local farmers. They rejected land available in Pawnee and Barton counties as not adaptable for their colonization plans, and also because the $5.00 per acre price seemed excessive. Some of the leaders recommended land in the Hog vicinity in Ellis County but this was rejected by the group. Eventually they agreed on the site where Herzog was ultimately located. The first dwellings were erected immediately after the April 8, 1876 arrival on the east bank of Big Creek a short distance west of the present town. The friends and relatives who had remained in Russia were obviously impressed by the growing reports from Kansas. On July 8, 1876 the largest single expeditiion to leave the colonies departed from Saratov. Within this group were 108 families for whom Bathasar Brungardt had undertaken to secure emigration passes. This contingent sailed on the "Mosel", landing in New York. It arrived in Victoria on August 3, 1876 except for Peter Younger who remained in Topeka un til 1877 to set up residence in Herzog. The group consisted of the following families: Michael Schmidtberger was among this group, as well as Martin Quint and his wife Margaretha and children: Margaretha, Martin, Franz, Johannes Michael, and Peter. Johannes Wittman and Anna and children, Anna Katharina, Alexander, Andreas, Johannes and Michael Martin Younger (Junker) and Margaretha and children Johannesm Johannes, Michael, Joseph, Katharina, and Anna A few days before Christma, 1877 three new families arrived in Herzog from Russia. They werer: Joseph Schmidtberger and Elizabetha Most of the early settlers were farmers and peasants. They continued that livlihood in the country. Many homesteaded land and secured their first titles through a government patent. Herzog/Victoria is regarded nationally with profound respect because of the almost unbelievable accomplishment associated with the constructions of "The Catherine of the Plains," completed in 1911.

Alexander Leiker was born August 03, 1903 in Munjor, Ellis County, Kansas, and died January 02, 1953 in Rush County Memorial Hospital, LaCrosse, Kansas.

Notes For Alexander Leiker: Alex had a severely damaged heart with leakage of the valves causing the heart to enlarge to double its normal size. He had rhemumatic fever at the age of 14. Alex worked as a farmer, carpenter, and a sheet metal man. He was a quality carpenter as he was quiet, patient and artculate in whatever he started. The way he taught his sons how to saw wood reflected his approach to life and people in general. He said that you let the saw ride without effort and never force it. He related that if one forces something, it just gets much harder to accomplish. He did not have taste for discipling his children and would rarely become irritated or angry. When he had to discipline he did it only half-hearted. It was obvious that he had his Mother's compassion and patience. The year prior to his death, he built a new home for the family and did all the finished carpentry work himself. He had to rest for extended periods of time but then would procede to work again. After Christmas he developed psnumonia and died January 3, 1953 of a combination of pneumonia, congestive heart failure and lung cancer. More about Alexander Leiker: Burial: January 10, 1953, Liebenthal, Kansas Cause of death: Congestive Heart Failure damaged by Rheumatic Fever at age 14. Medical Information: Developed Lung Cancer shortly before his death. He was a smoker of cigarettes. Notes for Christina Enslinger: Christina was a farmer, creamery and feed stor operator, an avid gardener, ironed clothes for a living and her last employment was as a housekeepr for St. Anthony's Hospital until she retired. Her husband was an invalid due to a severe heart condition and so she primarily had to be the provider and care giver. She was only 4' 10" tall and was called "Christinya." She had ten children of which the first was still-born after a very difficult birth. She almost single-handed raised nine children, made sure they all went to High school and they never went hungry. She made sure they had proper clothing even if she had to sew most of the items herself. They were never without proper shelter or medical care. She routinely would betcher 50 chickens, with the assistance of the children, in one day and would sell them to a local hospital. Her garden was large with a wide assortment of vegetables and for many yers grew three acres of potatoes. She canned anything not consumed immediately including beef and pork. A typical Saturday meant baking a dozen pies. Bread was baked at least every day. She baked many wedding cakes. On Mondays she washed and it was no uncommon for her to wash as many as twenty loads plus loads of wash and iron up to forty shirts since she had six sons and a husband. Until 1952 she cooked on a kerosene stove, had no refrigerator, and used a gas iron to iron clothing. Her washing machine was a gas powered machine. More about Christina Enslinger: Burial: November 1988, Buried in St. Joseph Cem. in Liebenthal, Kansas. Cause of death: CHF Medical Information: Developed dementia a few years prior to death, probably caused by TIAs causing O.B.S. The Wasingers The ancestry of Franz Wasinger and Anna Scheck is shown as far as can be ascertained from church records in St. Fidelsis Monastery, Victoria, Kansas, and from vistis with siome of the older people who knew Franz and Anna Wasinger. The parents of Franz Wasinger and Anna Scheck are known and documented. The grandparents of Franz Wasinger are in doubt. In the mid 1930's Frank Windholtz visited with Franz Wasinger about his grandparents. Franz Wasinger said that his grandfather was Christopher Wasinger. He did not know the name of his grandmother. Helen Hall in her These Are Our Religion has a Johannes Wasinger, spouse known, as the grandfather of Franz. In "History from 1760 to 1938 of Joe Wasinger, G. Peter Wasinger, Anton Wasinger, SR., Anton D. Wasinger" translated by Anton D. Wasinger, is an account of a Joe Wasinger, married to a young woaman named Mareda, who migrated with the Germans to Russia 1764. THis JOe, about thirty years old, was the father of Johannes, a Christopher, and none other children. This Johannes is supposedly the great great grandfather of this writer. The Christopher is the forebear of nother group of Wasingers who came to the United States at the time. This writer does not know who his great great grandfather Wasinger was, but likes to believe that Grandfather Franz Wasinger knew who his grandfather was. Grandfather Franz Wasinger was about sisxty-six years old in 1935 to 1936 when Franz Windholz interviewed him. According to Windholz, Grandfather had a clear, sharp mind and a good memory. So this writer likes to believe that his great great grandfather and the great great grandfather of all the third generation descendants of Franz and Anna Wasinger was a Christopher Wasinger. The Wasingers Johannes Wasinger married Catherine Rome. He was born Dec. 10, 1842. She was born May 4, 1844. He died Dec. 13, 1906. SHe died April 2, 1866 The Wasingers are buried in St. Fiedelis Cemetery, Victoria, Kansas. They came from Herzog, Kansas. Children John Wasinger married Catherine Scheck.

Alvin V. Werth, O.F. M. Cap., M.A. Saint Joseph Catholic Center 215 West 13th Street Hays, Kansas 67601 Three days after ALVIN WERTH's death, his guardiann EARL MEYER began his funeral homily saying, "It would be difficult for anyone on such short notice and. with such limited time to offer an adequate reflection "on Alvin's long and full life. Three months later it is still difficult." "Anyone who knew Fr. Alvin will recall," Fr. Earl continued, "that he was meticious and extracatious in planning. all the details of his life." Perhaps it is not so well known that he was also very carerful in documenting most of it. Alvin understood the value of documentaation for any history, and left 15 cartons of it to be digested at some future date. One of the most precious of these records is a 56-year-old motionpicture of his first mass at Schoenchen. He also left reams of notes on local and family history, thousands of sermonds, and a box after box of photographs. There are also about 500 cassette tapes which will need to be carefully sifted before deciding what to keep. Many were taped off Mother Angelia's Eternal Word Television Network, which he loved to watch in his last years, but many others are recordings of interviews he conducted over the years of family members and other people from earlier eras. Promptled by the 80-year-old four-seasons candle which, at the urging of Alvin's mother, had burned at Alvins' baptism, his first Mass, his 25th and 50th jubilies, and now his funeral, Earl summed up his life byy referring to and commenting on four overlappping seasons of Alvin's life: his family, his priesthood, his mature study, and his retirement. Alvin, the 3rd oldest of the 12 children of Nikolaus and Magdalena (Hertel) Werth, was born 29 Augg. 1907 and baptised under the name Vincennt the following day by Fr, Charles Minig. DUrinng high school at Hays Catholic College, he played the violin in the school orchestra and sang in the Messiah chorous at the normal school (now Ft Hays State University. At the age of 18, he graduated first in his class from junior college at Hays Catholic College, and soon after left for the noviate at Herman. Earl added that "In one sense he never left home. He spoke of his parents often and as though they were still alive. He followed every detail, almost daily events of his extended family and the activities of his hometown. More than once, when he was too sick or too waek to make a trip to Victoria, when news came that a grandniece or grandnephew was being married in Kansas City or Chicago; he instantly recovered and enjoyed the trip." Alvin's sudden death cut short the completion of a family-related project he had been working on for some time, a genealogical study of the Werth family he was nearly ready to take to printers. Alvin received minor orders from. Bp. John M. McNamara in Cumberland on 4 Oct. 1930, and the three major orders from Bishop Francis Tief in May of 1932: subdiaconate May 1 at Concordia, diaconate May 5 at Victoria, and priesthood May 8 at Hays. "He was rightly proud of being the first priest froom his home parish at Schoenchen." Fr. Earl commented. "He enjoyed his work as a priest and found personal fulfillment in his priestly duties which were many and varied. He was a pastor, a chaplain, an administrator, a religious superior, and an author in Maryland, Missouri and his native Kansas. Even late in the hospital to visit the sick; and everyone got a personal prrayeer and Fr. Alvin's special blessing." Alvin was happy in all of the pastoral assignments he held between 1933 and 1977 and corresponded withmany people in all of these places. Shortly before attending the Cresaptown MD centennary in 1985, he wrotte some old friends that he doubted whether his health would permit his traveling there, but that he would be there in spirit. "If I don't get to see you again in this life." he wrote, "I'll see you. in heaven, where there is no more pain and suffering, nothing but ssupreme happiness." In his final bulletin at Antonio, Alvin said that he left with a heavy heart because "I like it here," but added quoted Mac. 6, 22, that he had submitted to his provincial's will".. . . in a noble manner, worthy of his years, the dignity of his advanced age, and the merited distinction of his gray hair." During the course of his 80 years, Alvin seemed to have left the U.S. four times: at lesat there are references to that many foreign trips in the many boxes of documentation he left behind: a tour of 15 Italian cities, with the Fratellanza Society of St. Louis in August of 1968; a pilgrimage retreat at Our Lady of the Cape in Three Rivers, Quebec, in May 1969; a trip to Puerto Rico in 1980; and his goldenn jubilee tree in Munich, Heidelberg, Frankfort and various places in Switzerland and Austria in August of 1983. Winter for Alvin, Earl said, was a retirement, which was neither bleak no cold, but rather thoroughly enjoyed. "He dabbled into family history and church history. He renewed old aquaintances and made new ones. He relished the opportunity to observe and comment on the busy life around him... He spent many hours in the chapel. He seldom missed a service or a devotion in churchh. For all practical purposes the only television he watched were programs on religion...His interests even in retirement were apostolic." ALVIN WERTH had many periods of illness during his life, but her was able to keep active till the day of his death June 27, 1988. After a normal day's activities, he asked to be taken to the hospital and, to the surprise of even the doctor in attendance, died shortly thereafter. The origin and history of the name WERTH The surname WERTH, sometimes spelled Woerth, comes from the Gothic surname Worth. Werth, according to THE CLASSIC GERMAN DICTIONARY. (Follet Publishing Company, Chicago, IL.,) means value, worth. In 1968, this writer was in London, England, I found numerous entries of the surname Werth in the London telephone directory. I consulted a professor in a London Museum about the name Werth and he replied that a youngster he had studied about warlord general from Sussex, England by the name Werth. The Werth Coat-of-Arms (by John W. Ward and Co., 171 Meeting St. Charleston, SC) shows that people of northwest Europe having the surname Werth belonged to the Saxton tribe. In 1983 I toook a tour through Germany and Switzerland. I visited my friends, Rita and Wolfgand Shafers, in Warburg, Westphalia, Germany. In a Warburg cemetery I found a well-kept lot in which the family members of Henry Werth were interred. I also spoke with two gentlemen by telephone in Warburg who were namned Werth; one was a printer and the other was a dealer in lumber. The surname Weth also appears in Hesse, Bavaria, Baden-Wurtemburg, Germany. It appears in the cantons of Bern and Graubunden, Switzerland (B. Nussbaumer, Altmanwweg 1, CH-9012, St. Gallen, Switzerland). The WERTH FAMILY HEREITAGE BOOK (piblished by Beatrice Bayley, Inc., Sterling, PA, 1981) lists 223 Werth families in the USA. The Hays telephone directory of. 1980, in addition to Werth families that I know who live in other states, number 108 Werth families not listed in the WERTH FAMILY HERITAGE BOOK. To the best of my knowledge, there are at least 331 Werth families in the United States in 1987. The birth place of Fredrich and Lucy (Ebel) Werth is Schoenchen, Russia, located on the east side of the Volga River in the District of Samara, Russia. Schoenchen was founded there in 1770, approximately 40 miles northeast of Katharinenstadt. Schoenchen, a catholic village, was located between two Catholic villages, Solothurn (Wittman) to the north and Zug (Gattung) to the south. By 1773 Schoenchen had 54 families. In 1860 it had a population of 1200, and in 1918 it had 3194 parishioners. Capuchin priests were the first to minister ot the people of Schoenchen, followed by George Leibham, a native from German colony near Odessa, Russia, was a pastor at the time when many coolonists left for America. He built a beautiful stone church in 1903-04. He died in Schoenchen, Russia in 1910. The S.S> Suevia departed from hamburg, Germany on July 19, 1876. It landed in New York August 3, 1876. On the ship were a number of Volga German people who come from Schoenchen, Russia on the Volga. Among them were: WERTH-Fredrich and his wife Lucia and 4 children. They settled in Ellis Co. Kansas in the town of Schoenchen. The grandparents of Fredrich Werth were Carl and Catherine (Kern) Werth. THe death certificate of John Peter Werth (State of Kansas Division of Vital Statistics, 26-641) sates that Carl Werth and Catherine Kern are the parents of John Peter Werth, who was born on July 21, 18366 in Schoenchen, Russia. John Peter Werth was the youngest brother of John Werth. Therefore (concluded that the parents of JOhn Werth were Carl and Catherine (Kern) Werth. They lived and died in Russia. John Werth (1827-1875) married Anna Mertz in Schoenchen, Russia. They lived and died in Russia. John Werth farmed on a small scale and hauled the daily water supply for the village of Schoenchen from the Volga River. John and Anna (Mertz) Werth were the parents of Frederich Werth, who was born on August 15, 1846. PARENTS OF LUCY EBEL JOHN HENRY AND CLEMENTIME (LEIKAM) EBEL The father of Lucy Ebel was John Henry Ebel (the surname Ebel appears in Alsace-Lorraine, France), and her mother was Clementina Leikam. John Henry Ebel was born 1820 at Schoenchen, district of Samara, Russia. He was an attorney and a district judge. Fredrick Werth Sr., the son-in-law of John Henry Ebel, called him "Der grosse Richter" (district Judge). For a number of years John Henry Ebel kept records at Schoenchen of all marriages, births, deaths, funerals, and handled other legal documents. At the end of each year he sent all records to the city of Sarratove, Russia, where they kept on file. John Henry Ebel was also a grain merchant; he bought and sold wheat in Russia. John Henry and Clementina Ebel lived and died in Russia. THeir daughter Lucy Ebel was born Nov. 1, 1850. She married Fredrich Werth, Sr. on Sept. 27, 1867. VOYAGE TO AMERICA A few years after their marriage, together with other emigrants of Schoenchen, Munjor, and Liebenthal, Frederich and Lucyy Werth, and their childre, left the upper Volga region in June, 1876, to tavel to Saratov. After the emigrants arrived at Sartov, they boarded a train to Warsaw, Poland, Berlin, and Hamburg, Germany. They left Hamburg on the ship Suevia on July 19, 1876 and arrived a;t New York after a voyage of about three weeks. In New YOrk they made arrangements with Mr. Adam Roedelheimer, an agent of the Kansas Pacific Railraod, for transportation to Ellis County, Kansas, for the sum of $11.52 per passenger. They arrived in Hays, Kansas at 10th and Main Street, during the first part of August, 1876. On August 14, they arrived at Big timber Township in Rush County, Kansas and settled a few miles north of Liebenthal, Kansas. On Sept. 6, 1876, Fredrich and Lucy Werth's only daughter, Clementina, was born in a hastily impoverished sod hut. During May of 1877, the Frederich Werth family helped to found Schoenchen, Kansas when they moved to the Wouthwest Quarter of Section 28, Township 15, Range 18, which is still the site of Schoenchen in 1988. JoSEPTEMBERh Linen Berger, son of Melchoir Linen Berger and Katherine Margaret Klipphahn Schreiner Von Riedel Salzman, was born NOVEMBER ember 22, 1838, in Herzog, Russia. In 1857 he married Katherine Younger, born in 1840, in Herzog, Russia. Katherine died in 1857 after the birth of a son, Andrew. In 1859 Joseph married Margaret Schamme. Nineteen years later on AUGUSTust 8, 1878, one of the largest transports of German-Russian emigrants left Herzog, Russia, for America under the leadership of JoSEPTEMBERh. Included in this transport was his wife, Margaret and their seven children. JoSEPTEMBERh and family came to Ellis County, Kansa, and settled at Victoria until he had bought a farm where they made their next home. The Linen Berger land, purchased at $1.25 per acre, was one mile ast and a half mile north of Victoria. Here JoSEPTEMBERh struggled with the elements of the soil as a farmer. In his spare time he was busy with he carpenter tools making various household furnishings, his specialty being closet chests. In every event of a death, Joseph as a carpenter was asked to make the coffins for the settlers at Victoria, and its vicinity. In 1899 Margaret, Joseph’s wife died leaving him and ten children. Three of their children were married; Herman the youngest was three years olDIED In 1898, a son Peter having taken over the farm, JoSEPTEMBERh moved to Victoria with his three youngest children. After all the children were married, JoSEPTEMBERh retired and lived with his son Herman and family. In appearance JoSEPTEMBERh was tall and robust. He enjoyed good health all of his life. When he was young he lost an eye which was pierced by a pitch fork. This did not hinder him from making a living for his family or from working on his various hobbies, such as woodworking, reading or writing. JoSEPTEMBERh attended the schools of the times, but most of his education was self-tAUGUSTht. He read everything he could get his hands on. His handwriting was beautiful and legible. While in retirement he wrote his book. The book relates the hardships and joys of the Germans who migrated to Russia. It tells of the attacks by the Kirghiz and their capture of his grandfather, Hanjoerg Linen Berger. It gives an account of this transport from Russia to America and arrival in Victoria, Kansas. Still very active and with desire to see his birthplace, Herzog, Russia, JoSEPTEMBERh and John Pfeifer left Victoria on MAY 4, 1910, for a tour of Europe. In Herzog, Russia, he visited his sister, Maria Eva Rome, his nieces and nephews and many old friends and acquaintances. After a visit of four months they retuned to America on SEPTEMBER ember 8, 1910. Having fulfilled his life ambitions, he was willing to die. Six months after JoSEPTEMBERh's return from Europe, Anna Maria, Herman's wife, dieDIED A short time later on the eve of Ash Wednesday JoSEPTEMBERh's fatal illness began an and as Herman was unable to care of him; they moved him to home of Herman's brother, Peter. He died on April 19, 1911, at the age of seventy-two and a half years.

I am trying to research my Mother's family; her father was Harold Rankin from Melcher, Iowa who married Myra Valentine. Her mother was Millicent Shaw and their family came from EnglanDIED Dorothea Christina HERTEL, dAUGUSThter of Friedrich Hertel, married Christoph Gottlieb Schlegel (1640 to 1697). Their children include Christoph Friedrich Schlegel (1676 to 1772) who married Anna Maria (Mary) Eyster (1697/98 to 1779). Friedrich Hertel is my 7th great grandfather. He and his dAUGUSThter are the only people named Hertel in my genealogy so far. Is any of your researching this family? They were in or near Grimma, Saxony, Germany, but Christoph Friedrich Schlegel was in Germantown, Pennsylvania by 1700. JoSEPTEMBERh was the son of Matthias HERTEL, BORN 27 FEBRUARYORN 1802 in Germany. Matthias emigrated to America abt 1847 with his sons and married Mary E. LEE, BORN abt. 1824 in TN. Mary's parents came from KY and died in Springfield I have been trying to find them, but no luck yet. I am researching their son, George HERTEL who married Lizzie TEAL. Below is the census info from 1860: Cheryl 1860 CENSUS: - HERTEL Town of Elkhart, IL - Sangamon County, census enumeration 1860: HERTEL, MATTHIAS Matthias was 50, M, shoe & boot maker, BORN in Germany HERTEL, Mary, 33, F, BORN KY (Other census and children's parent info shows TN) Hertel, GEORGE, 11, M, BORN IL Hertel, Mary, 9, F, BORN IL Hertel, Jos., 6, M, BORN IL (This would be abt. 1854) Hertel, Thos., 6, M, BORN IL Hertel, Sarah, 1, F, BORN IL LEE, CORDELIA, 25, F, BORN KY (Mary LEE was George's mother) Boggs, Jos., 28, M, shoemaker employee, BORN Penn. I have several papers from my grandfather Russell Hertel (JoSEPTEMBERh's son) that refer to Matthias but I didn't have a definite connection. According to my research Matthias was married to Barbara Krell and had 4 other children when he came over from Germany. I'm guessing Barbara died and then he married Mary with whom he had the rest of the children including my great grandfather JoSEPTEMBERh (Josiah) who was a twin. The 1860 census info was very helpful. John was born about 1867 in Germany and came to the US through Ellis IslanDIED Elizabeth was born about 1868 in Germany and came to the US through Ellis IslanDIED Their son George Martin Hertel was born 8 APRIL 1893 in International waters. (From him forward, I have info.)Cannot find when they died, where buried, etc. They are not in the same cemeteries in St. Louis as the rest of the families. I am having problems finding them in census also. They lived in St Louis City and county at various times. Have seen the name spelled Hartel/Haertel/Hertel; Hertel being latest usage. Johann HERTEL came from Saxony to NSW as a free settler with several children, Adam Ferdinand being my direct ancestor. I have info on their time in Australia but am seeking more from their time in Germany. Anna Dorothea Hertel (Meyers) was born September 30, 1848 in Marktredwitz, Bavaria, Germany. She came to US just after the Civil war. I found that a ship "cambria" came to the US with An Anna (21)Hertel and a Carl (18) Hamburg-NY AUGUST 11 1868 Louise Hertel who was born (according to the LDS website) MAY 30, 1814 in and died AUGUSTust 06, 1932 in Draper, Utah.

His Ertel ancestors were from Neuburg am Rhine. His brother Philip BORN 1813 arrived in the states in 1837. Date of arrival of Frederick is unknown. They jointly purchased land in Ripley County, IN 1846. The Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild shows the ship Mayflower leaving Havre, France arriving New Orleans JANUARYuary 17th, 1842. One of the passengers was a Frederick Hertel, age 28 and was from Bavaria Philip also departed from Havre. There is a 2 year difference in age of the two Fredericks.

They lived in Aalen, Germany. There were eight children, five boys, three girls. Each dAUGUSThter married an officer in the U.S. Military, during or after the second world war. Charlotte, was 18, when she married my grandfather, Donald Harn. They resided in Hunnewell,Mo where they had three children. Charlotte's sisters, Magda and Heidi, moved to Illinois and Texas. One of Charlotte's brothers served in the German Army while Hitler was in power(not exactly a good thing, but it’s a fact.) Now, Wilhelm Schumacher, was in the furniture and clothing business, there in Aalen. And in former years had been considered a friend of General Rome, who only lived 15 miles away, and led Hitler's African Campaigns. This is all I know, from an old yellowed, Newspaper clipping of my grandparents wedding announcement. Charlotte was the first German war bride to be brought to that part of Missouri, at the time. And had been married twice. Once in Aalen, as is custom, and once in the U.S. John Schumacher and Catherine Sophia Lindeman. John was born SEPTEMBER 08, 1823 in Mecklenburg, parents unknown.

She is Catherine Zimmerman (Stoecklein). Both her parents, Christof and Helen came over to America on the same steam boat "SUEVIA" which landed in New York on AUGUST 3, 1876. With the help of guides and contacts there, they traveled westward, until they eventually landed in Victoria, KS. With this famous father, Peter Stoecklein, who was one of the five scouts to America from Russia before this trip took place, Christof and the Peter Stoecklein family finally moved to Munjor, Kansas. Christof was 17 years old at the time they came to America. There were six children living, as they landed and Christof was the third oldest living, but the fourth oldest born, since the oldest daughter Anna died on the voyage, and had to be buried at sea. The first job was to find work, and to. Raise money. Christof and his three brothers go some work on the United Pacific Rail4roaDIED His father, Peter Stoecklein, obtained a Homestead certificate # 991 in Wakeny, Kansas on AUGUST 1, 1883. He got 80 acres of land, seven miles south of Hays, KS. CHristof also got a Homestead Certificate #2854, adjacent to his fathers land, on AUGUST 7, 1888. He married Helena Herklotz on JANUARY 26, 1880, in Munjor, Kansas. With the Homestead Certificate, he obtained 180 acres of land right adjacent to his father, Peter Stoecklein. He farmed this land, as well as some plots of land near by, until his son Alexander went into the army for World War I. He then moved to Munjor, where he had a small home, and lived in their small Munjor home for the remainder of his life. He was always very quiet and never got overly excited He bore his burden of poverty graciously and his family honored him for it. He had cancer, and was sick quite a number of years. He died DECEMBER. 2, 1936, at the age of 76 years. He was married 56 years and reared their nine children. She was commonly called by the endearing name of "Lehnya". Her parents were Gottfried Herklotz and Mary Catherine Boos. When the people were making ready to leave Russia for America, Helena desperately wants to come along to America with her brother Carl Anton. Carl gave his parents a solemn promise that he personally would take care of "Little Lehnya." So, with that assurance, she came along. According to church records, she was born in "Paninskojje", or Schoenchen Russia, on MARCH 2, 1859. She came on the same boat as Christof. When Helena's group went westward, they first land in Leibenthal, and from there to Schoenchen, KS. Helena was by nature a kind girl and one who always helped others. She was happiest when she could do someone a favor. This story tells something about her spirit of congeniality. "She spent most of her life on her feet." This happened on the earliest times in Ellis County; the family needed jobs and money desperately. Her brother Carl told her that there were jobs in Salina, Kansas. "How do were eget there?" Henea asked "we walk there" was the answer. So they set our toward Salina, Kansas via the railroad tracks. When they finally got there, Helena's legs and feet were terribly sore and swollen. They took off their shoes but they couldn't get them back on again. So, Helena sat around the track, while her brother went to look for jobs. Luckily, after some time, he did return, with jobs for both of the MARRIED so they worked in Salina for a time. Christof and Helen were married in Munjor and started their life of their own. This started a long fifty six years of married life for them on the farm, which was situated seven miles south of Hays, KS. Here she spent many years with busy hands and busy feet. She always had a nice garden on that farm She grew many vegetables. One time she had an exceptionally large watermelon. She took this melon and toted it on foot, to Hays and sold it. With the money she brought back several shirts for Christof and his younger brother and a few other little things. She was very tired, but when she was the happy faces on the men who got the shirts, she forgot her pains and was just as happy as they wren. It was harder to tell who was happier, the recipient or the giver. Schooling was not open to all the children. The younger ones got to go, but not so the older ones, since they were needed on the far MARRIED after they moved down to Munjor, he did practically no work. His health was failing. It was common sight to see him on the porch, rocking him and smoking his pipe, while she kept rising around and in and out of the house. He finally died of cancer, and following this, she would stay with the children of her family, spending some time with all of the MARRIED she spent most of her years in Hays, where she died at the age of 92 years. All in Hays neighborhood where she stayed knew her and loved her. She never wore a hat in her life. She always wore dark clothes and a kerchief over her head called a "Babushka." After she died, the people missed that familiar figure, dressed in dark, walking to church, with the quick rapid steps.

Henea asked "we walk there" was the answer. So they set our toward Salina, Kansas via the railroad tracks. When they finally got there, Helena's legs and feet were terribly sore and swollen. They took off their shoes but they couldn't get them back on again. So, Helena sat around the track, while her brother went to look for jobs. Luckily, after some time, he did return, with jobs for both of the MARRIED so they worked in Salina for a time. Christof and Helen were married in Munjor and started their life of their own. This started a long fifty six years of married life for them on the farm, which was situated seven miles south of Hays, KS. Here she spent many years with busy hands and busy feet. She always had a nice garden on that farm She grew many vegetables. One time she had an exceptionally large watermelon. She took this melon and toted it on foot, to Hays and sold it. With the money she brought back several shirts for Christof and his younger brother and a few other little things. She was very tired, but when she was the happy faces on the men who got the shirts, she forgot her pains and was just as happy as they were. It was harder to tell who was happier, the recipient or the giver. Schooling was not open to all the children. The younger ones got to go, but not so the older ones, since they were needed on the farm after they moved down to Munjor, he did practically no work. His health was failing. It was common sight to see him on the porch, rocking him and smoking his pipe, while she kept rising around and in and out of the house. He finally died of cancer, and following this, she would stay with the children of her family, spending some time with all of the MARRIED she spent most of her years in Hays, where she died at the age of 92 years. All in Hays neighborhood where she stayed knew her and loved her. She never wore a hat in her life. She always wore dark clothes and a kerchief over her head called a "Babushka." After she died, the people missed that familiar figure, dressed in dark, walking to church, with the quick rapid steps. Reflections on Carl and Anna (Doefler) Stoecklein Carl H. Stoecklein was second oldest of the Christof and Helena Stoecklein family. The older children of Christof had to do a lot of heavy work in the family, since there was no help from any outside the family. The beginning years of the Stoecklin family were hard years. Carl was born SEPTEMBER 1, 1883, in Munjor, KS. He lived on his father's farm about seven miles south of Hays, KS. At the age of 21 years, on OCTOBER 25, 1904, he got married to Anna Dueler, in Munjor, Kansas. By this time, the ninth child was already born, and the Grandparents' family was already on handed after this marriage with Anna, they moved a few miles south of Munjor, KS. They lived there until 1907. Their farming and family increased, so they sold this small farm and came to Ness City, of Ness County, and bought a quarter section of land south of Ness City. In a few years latter, they bought another quarter section. They also rented some land to farm Added to this, they had some cattle, mostly for their own use and hogs and chickens. Farming was a family affair, and with five healthy boys, he got the work done. Carl was remembered as a tall, lanky and quiet man, with good judgment and a good father. He died DECEMBER 8, 1970 in Ness County, Ness City, and age 66 years. Anna Doefler, the mother, was born FEBRUARY. 16, 1886. She was the daughter of Conrad DOEFLER AND Elizabeth Schumacher. Elizabeth was the widow of Stanislaus Ruder and second wife of Conrad Doefler. This pair raised eleven children, one boy and one girl died young. The education of the parents was quite elemental, because the circumstances were quite different than they were for their children. They were all educated in the schools, and even high school. Raising the folder on the farm was different from raising them in a city, where the father was in businesses. On the farms, both the father and mother were present to control and mold the family. This they did with equal authority. It was a busy farm, but a happy farm they were most generous hosts when relatives and friends visited the MARRIED Deep religious instructions were always top priority. As could be seen from their children, the Faith was deeply implanting Died Anna Died Augustus 5, 1971 in Ness City, age 85 years. 2. The John and Anna Margaret Schumacher Family John Schumacher was born in Munjor, NOVEMBER 6, 1883. His parents were Anton Schumacher and Pauline (Ruder). John's father moved to Victoria, and had a General Merchandise store there in Victoria. He seemed to do well. John showed great interest in the business, so his father sent him to Salina, Kansas, to attend a business school there, so as to be able to run the affairs of the store. John married Anna Margaret Stoecklein on NOVEMBER, 22, 1904 in Victoria, KS. Business must have been good, because John’s father opened another store in Ellis, KS which John was destined to manage. This he did with great energy and dedication. John was business and Anna Margaret took care of the family. The two first children, of the five were born in Victoria. Those who vested at the Schumacher home were always met with a family that was enthusiastic and the welcome was warm and cordial. It was a real tragedy when John contacted a serious illness, and before toad long, died, living the mother the chore of raising the five children. Anna Margaret, or "Ammagrate" as she was usually called, was the mother of this small and unfulfilled family. She was born in Munjor, KS, FEBRUARY 21, 1886. She was, as were many of the girls of the Stoecklein family, very calm, and quiet, but a very good mother. When her husband John died, she immediately inherited a bundle of responsibility. There were now five children, the last girl, Lietta, being born only three months after her father's death. How to finance a family of five children was a real problem the grandmother, Mrs. Pauline Schumacher was a fair Godmother to this family. She took care of the furnishing of the clothing of the children and also many other sundry needs of the children. Added to that, Anna Margaret inherited 320 acres of land out near Ogalla, Kansas, from her grandfather Schumacher. This helped to keep body and soul together. Additional income was on hand through Anna Margaret's daily work as seamstress, which she built up into a business, but which was conducted from her home. She did not live far from the church, so when the priests needed someone who could cook for them, Anna Margaret was always glad to oblige. The priests paid MAY even social calls on her to encourage her in her big task. The children were in all agreement about their mother's character: She was extremely kind and never had an enemy. She was most generous with her help and work. She died at the age of 87 years, after a completed full life. Adam Rohleder MARRIED to Eva Maria, migrated to Gross-Winternheim in 1670. Nowhere does it say where they came from He was a master tailor. He belonged to the Catholic parish. He was a respected man and elected major of the city. Philip Rohleder Son of Adam was born in 1673. Johann Theodore Rohleder Son of Philip was born in 1708 and died in 1793, at age 85 in OberIngelheim Peter Rohleder Born in 1732 died in 1779 at age 47 in Ober-Ingelheim Dr. Hellriegel told me to write to Scwabenheim, Germany where he felt records would show those who in 1765 migrated from Germany. Peter Rohleder married Catherine Niederquell. (Both lived in Russia) approx. 1800. The Niederquells were of the Lutheran faith. It is note-worthy that Niderquell is found today in Mainz, Germany near the village where the Rholeders live. Anton Rohleder married Barbara Meier. (Both lived and died in Russia). Anton died JANUARY. 13, 1903 and Barbara died AUGUST. 24, 1907. Nicholas Rohleder married Clementina Geier; 2 Mary Herman. The name was also spelled Herrmann, and Herman. Nicholas was born MARCH 25, 1861 in Graf, Russia and died APRIL 14, 1939 in Victoria, Kansas. His 1st wife Clementina was born in Graf, Russia and died in North Brothers Island, New York in Mar of 1892. Nicholas had 2 children from this wife: Mary born in 1888 and Peter or Pete in 1890. Nicholas Rohleder and Clemintina and the 2 children left Graf, Russia for America in the early part of 1892. They boarded the S.S. Gelelrt in Hamburg, Germany and after a long trip landed in New York Mar 14, 1892. When they arrived Clemintina was sick with a contagious disease. She died shortly thereafter and in buried in North Brothers Island, New York. Nicholas then came west with the 2 small children to Victoria, KS early in 1892. His aunt Catherine (Rohleder) Dreiling helped with the children. One can imagine the grief, the heartache as Nicholas left his young wife behind in a cemetery in New York and the train trip with the two small children must have seemed like an eternity until he reached Victoria, KS. He was a typical German man, stoic, religious and great faith. This is what sustained his difficult time. On JANUARY. 16, 1893, Nicholas married Mary Herman, a single girl and daughter of Anton Herman and Elizabeth Dreiling. He was 32 years old and Mary was 20 years old Mary had a fairly good background She was the great-granddaughter of Barbara Goetz and John Dreiling III-2 fine families in the history of our people. Mary and Nicolas had 12 children together. Along with the 2 children from his 1st wife, they raised 14 children. Nicolas and Mary lived on a far northwest of Emmer Married He purchased land from the railroaded they attended church in Emmer an, Kansas. At one time there was a church, school, and grocery store along with a number of small houses in the community. Nicolas and Mary owned one of these houses which were used on Sunday's but was an un-occupied during the remainder of the week. Nicholas and Mary retired in 1924 and moved to Victoria, KS where they lived across from the cathedral of the Plains. Mary died MAY 9, 1931 in Victoria and Nicholas died APRIL 14, 1939.

Anna Schumacher, you are right that Anna married Joseph Schreibvogel and Johann Jacob Pfannenstiel, but you have the order wrong. Anna married Joseph Schreibvogel first, had her children, then after Joseph died, she married Johann Jacob Pfannenstiel. For Anna and Johann Pfannenstiel, this was the second marraige for both. Johann' first wife was Margaret Yunker. A brief history taken from the Brungardt Genealogy, Volume I, by Helen Hall, tells us that a widow Brungardt, her two sons and a daughter migratted from Germany to Russia in 1767-68. They were of the Luthern Faith. The widow and one son settled in Herzog, Russia and accepted the Catholic Faith. Here the assumption is made that Adam Brungardt, gradson to the widow Brungardt was born in 1780. He married Katharina Dreiling. Thanks to Helen L. Hall for her research many years ago, we can accept Adam and Katharina Brungardt as our ancestral grandparents. Adam married Katharina Dreiling. He was born in 1780 in Russia and married in Russia. Katharina Dreiling was born in Russia also. They both died in Russia. Children Franz Brungardt married Anna Maria Riedel Magdalena Brungardt married Peter Sander John George Brungardt married Margaret Rome Bathasar Brungardt married Margaret Schmamme Katharina Brungardt married John Kuhn I Elizabeth Brungardt married Christopher Wassinger John Brungardt married Anna Appelhans Only two of the above seven children of Adam and Katharina Brungardt came to America. They were Franz, married to Anna Maria Riedel, and Magdalena married to Peter Sander. However, all of the descendants of the above seven children came to America unless stated otherwise. According to the Brungardt Genealogy Volume I the "Brungardts" left Herzog, Russia enroute to America on June 22, 1876, arrived in New York aboard the |North German Lloyd Line "Morsel". After going through customs at port of entry they were allowed to board a train enroute to western Kansas. They arrive in Ellis County on August 3, 1876. I will begin my genealogy with the fourth child of Adam and Katharina Brungardt because of the direct bloodline. Therefore the following families will be direct descendants of Balthazar and Margaret Brungardt. ADAM BRUNGARDT AND KATHARINA DREILING BALTHASAR BRUNGARDT MARRIED MARGARET SCHMAME.

Having been a farmer in Russia, Peter brought with him skills that he learned, such as tanning hides a\and making harness for draft horses. Special tools were required to make the harness, trimming knives, leather awls, harness-making bench, and no drought other tools of his own making since he was also a skilled blacksmith.

This information was supplied by Dan Hammersschmidt 213 E. 28th Street, Hays, Kansas 67601 Dan had a locksmith business in his home. Andrew Linenberger our (Grandfather), Born 4-19-1858 in Herzog, Russia. He married Margaret Brungardt in 1877, (1877-1858) age 19. When Andrew and Margaret came to America they homesteaded tow and 1/2 miles north of Victoria until 1893. In 1896 Andrew purchased land near Emmeram, Kansas. On December 2, 1900, Margaret died. Thirteen boys were born to Andrew & Margaret Five sons died before they reached adulthood. Andrew then married Barbara Quint, a widow with nine children, five girls and four boys. From 1877 when Andrew married Margaret till 1900 when Margaret died. They had undertaken to come to America from Russia. Had lost five children, gave 8 children a home. Andrew was left widowed and had their youngest boy (Vince) burned to death. After those hardships Andrew undertook fatherhood for Barbara Quints 9 children. I think we all know Victor remembers Grandpa Andrew Linenberger, filed for, or went bankrupt. But I don't know any details. So here I will tell what I was told by Frank Gilchrist, he is our cousin Bill Linenberger's step-son. Anyway, Al I suppose your fingers still tingle. You remember when we were out plowing with the old Dodge, northwest of the house and it quit on us. You were doing the driving and I was to run the plow probably just ride along I reckon. Anyway it quit and just wouldn't start. You knew enough to know it had to have fire to start. So you told me to turn the crank while you held the plug wire to see if it had fire. Well fine you took the plug wire off and I turned the crank and it shocked you. And brother you grabbed me and you beat me, man you pretty near beat me to pulp because it shocked you. When we got done fighting the motor had cooled off enough so it started again. I don't remember how much plowing we done, but that is how it worked that time. I remember we used it several times. You Al remember the time me and you were picking corn for Earl Nutter up there by Steel City and Earl Nutter and that other guy I don't know his name. But they were telling about their horses, runaways really I guess it was and this other guy told about his team he had. They could run fast enough that the chain tugs, he was using would float in mid air straight back. Well Al I don't think you got Pat and Daze to run that fast. Then I always windup not windup but I have to bring it to an end. Because by now I have laughed and balled myself half to death. And life must go on. You remember the time when you took our pigs to Fairbury to the sale. I imagine Dad told us to sell'im, anyway you took them to the sale. Boy I was all set to see what it was going to be like to have a pocket full of money that was going to be a thrill. But anyway that evening you told me well Omer I spent your half of the money to buy a ring for Josephine. And I remember I thought to myself, now that's a hell-of-a-note. I bought the ring and it's your girl. And you assured me you would pay me on your next payday. And you did I knew you would. Al if you ever hear this (God Bless you) for the hundreds and hundreds of times that the thoughts of yours and my growing up days helped me through some lonely days. I suppose every widow or widower has their own way of doing it. But Al this has been such a wonderful thing to think back on and outside of exercising my lungs, it helped me lots and lots of times in keeping me from going crazy. I know it's just a bunch of foolishness. But I have no family but you guys, I don't know how else to say it and Al you are in the thoughts. Al do you suppose our folks ever in their lifetime believed me and you that we didn't set that lousy fire over Southwest about a mile or whatever. But that is one time we didn't even attempt to lie to the folks did we. Because we just absolutely didn't start that fire that's all there is to it; isn't it. Al am I right I often think about it, I guess it's just idle thoughts. But I got a feeling that's how you learned about Santa Claus, when we lived by Collyer and Dad sent you out to close the henhouse, granary or whatever and you stumbled over the toys on the step by the door. Santa Claus had left the toys there according to Dad. That's all I can remember about it. I do remember that you were the one Dad picked to go outside to do whatever you were to do. I often wondered in my lifetime not having a family of my own just how children learn. Whether it's a natural thing for them to learn on their own. That it’s all just a make believe. Because for myself I remember when we lived by Grinnell, one Christmas Eve, mom sent me upstairs to change cloths before Santa Claus came. And she sent Isabel up with me and in reality Isabel was supposed to explain Santa Claus to me. And she did, she made a believer out of me I guess. Because I remember the next morning as Dad, Victor, you Al, me and Isabel were going out to milk. I can just plainly see Dad out there with mile pails hanging in his arm and getting himself a chew of tobacco out of his tobacco sack. If I remember right he smoked and chewed (Advertiser). But anyway he made sure he walked right next to me. Now whether he had asked if Isabel told me I don't know. And I spoke up and said Dad you've been lying to me and Dad said oh how come. And I said here I found out or Isabel explained (Santa Claus) to me last night. Brother I no more than had that said and boy he slapped me alongside the head. When I think about that I pretty near always, after I have my spell of balling or something whatever I do anything to pass my time. Of course then when I come to my senses, I am blessed by liking to write letters and read. So I am sure that's part of Bridget's training me for being left alone. Because she lost her mother when she was just a little girl and from then on she was pretty much the house mother. I am sure no one in the world could have done more for me to get me ready for this than Bridget did. But I can recall when I was teaching Agnes to drive, I say I because it was me. She would agree. Anyway this one morning we were coming home from church in that 1948 Ford I had and Agnes was driving it was a new car, but she had driven all my car's before and she missed the drive like I did out there by (Orion) and run in the ditch and put a tiny little dent in the fender. And Agnes cried and wasn't ever going to drive again she couldn't eat that noon; she knew that I would be mad at her. I often think about them things it passes time. When I think about Bridget driving after we came to Salina. She drove quite a little out on the farm. She never drove to town but she would drive to the neighbors. And in Salina she drove pretty often coming home from church or if we were out in the country, lots of times she could only drive a block or less she was that sick. And she would always stop and put the car in low gear before starting up our drive. That was real smart, but this one time she drove in and put the transmission from low to reverse without stopping and it damaged the gears. And Bridget swore she would never drive again and she never did. And it probably was a blessing. All I have to say to you Brother Al if you happen to be the one to get this tape after I am gone. And you don't like what's on here please throw it away because then you will do me a favor then. Otherwise I hope you also get a laugh out of it too. Maybe you think about those things too. I know it's just a bunch of foolishness. But it has sure done a lot of good for my time after I was a widower. Al you remember the time me and you were coming home from Morrowville with your Model T Ford, at least I think you owned it. Boy we were going down the road lickity split, happy as a lark and a rod flew out through the block and brother we came to a screeching halt better then any brake could have done. I remember a few of Bridget's memories. Bridget and Brother John were papering their kitchen. John was hanging the paper and he walked off the bench. Bridget's family had a cousin that lived 1/2 mile from them; this cousin had a bull that he couldn't keep at home. One day Bridget's three brothers caught this (bull) in their barn. They got the bull down, tied his head down and started to drill a hole in his nose with a brace and wood bits. When this cousin walked in, he said hold everything. Let me do that, I want the fun drilling that hole. Bridget got a pleasure out of telling about her grandmother (being blind) would hold and carry Bridget upside down and try to feed or change Bridget. December 3-1992 The reason for me writing the following is to have on paper, just in case (they) whoever they are come and ask me again whether I would share what I done to help pass my time after I was left a widower. On December 9-1992 after the 6:30 mass as we came out of the church, I was asked by a lady to meet her at Hardies café for coffee. We did have coffee. Two other people were also asked to be there. But only me and the lady were there. The lady asked whether I would tell her what if anyone thing I done besides praying. I see you do about every morning. I told her after balling, walking, reading and whatever. But my thoughts of my growing up days always brought on a laugh for me. She said oh wouldn't that be wonderful. I wish the other two were here. I told her Bridget and I used to write down some of our growing up memories. On Tape #1A history Side A After Bridget passed away I decided to put my part on tape and threw all our memories away. And that lady said again Oh I wish the other two were here. Then she asked if I would share that tape with others. I agreed to. She left for Texas that week. Bridget and my married life according to my memory In June 1951 I met my wife Bridget. We had written to each other as early as April 1951. We knew each other only from June till we got married September 24-1951, in the Catholic Church in St. Peter, Kansas. We spent our honeymoon in Wakeeny, Kansas in the hotel. From 12:30 a.m. till 8:45 a.m. September 25-1951. After Bridget was dressed that morning, she said Omer, I think if you don't mind, I should go back home and do Dad and Johns washing and clean house for them. Do you mind? I told her no if that is what she wants. So that's what we done. Her Dad was a widower. Dad and her brother John they were going to batch, till whenever. We went back home. Bridget washed, cleaned house done some cooking and changed all the bedding. I helped Bridget. We had planned on taking a week long trip. I had time off my job. I worked and lived in Washington, Kansas at the time. After Bridget done the cleaning etc at her home, we went back to Washington. We lived and worked there. In about Jan. 1952, Bridget's dad got sick; they put him in the hospital in Salina, Kansas. He lived 31/2 miles West and 3 North of St. Peter, Kansas. That is where Bridget was born. St. Peter is located about half way between Collyer, KS and Morland, Ks. Dad was in the Salina hospital a long time. Then when he was well, John got sick and developed rhumatic fever; he was put in the hospital and stayed in Salina a long time. We would drive out to visit her Dad a lot and came to Salina to visit John often. Bridget told me Omer I see the writing on the wall. Worse is coming for me and you. Soon after that John asked us to give up our job and house (we had bought a house) in Washington. John asked us to move back out home live with Dad & John and do their farming. He knew and said there isn't a house big enough on earth for 2 families to live in. We took John home; he was in a hospital bed a long time. In 1953 John got well enough that he said I have to try to do my own farming again. Do you mind if I pay you off. We were with Dad and John 11 months. So we went back to our house in Washington. I again worked for Car & Tractor dealers. I got ahead of my story the night before we got married, we were asked by the Parish Priest to come to St. Peter for a little instruction. He first asked us both in; he talked to us about married life in general. The good, bad etc. then he called Bridget in alone. Then he asked me in alone. He said Omer I don't want to hurt you, nor discourage you. But I want to know Bridget is sick. I know her condition, you can back out yet tonight if you want to, and there is nothing wrong with that. I know Bridget is sick. But I am too, I said. I have a bad stomach; there are a lot of things I can't eat. Fr. said has Bridget told you. Sure she has, and I told her. Then I said Father I would rather do it this way. If I can make a home for Bridget isn't she entitle to that as much as anyone else. He said of course she is Omer, as long as you know there will be obstructions. And when I told Bridget about my stomach, she said Omer don't worry about that, cause I had to cook special for my dad for 10 years. Father asked Bridget to come back in. And told us if you can't have children, make real sure Bridget you are able to be a good adopted mother before you try to adopt. This Priest was a brother to Bridget's sister’s husband. After John got well, we moved back to Washington. In July 1956 a cousin to Bridget died of a heart attack. His wife asked us to rent that farm, which we did. In November 1956 we moved on that farm 2 miles from Bridget's home place. During our time in Washington from 1953 thru 1956, two parish priests talked to us about adoption, which we had tried but didn't qualify. One Priest understood, the other priest told us do you want a baby, we thought we did but didn't qualify. Father John said no just give me a little time. After a while he came and told me and Bridget, I can't get you a baby there are lots of babies but you don't qualify he said. Bridget spoke up and said well isn't that what we tried to tell you. About 3 weeks or so after we moved out on the farm we rented. I had to take Bridget to Wakeeney Kansas, 30 miles away. That is where we were going to Doctor. The doctor examined Bridget. Then he explained how sick Bridget's heart was. He asked whether she knew. She knew. Then the doctor gave us a heck of a scolding for bringing Bridget out of a town. Not because he thought we shouldn't try farming. But surely in town we would have indoor plumbing and cloths dryer if we could. And surely a doctor would be pretty close. He knew we lived 30 miles from Wakeeney. In fact the man who owned the farm was a patient of this Doctor. We doctored with him going every 3 weeks, then every 2 weeks, then once and twice a week and several times twice a day till May 1960, the medicine kept getting stronger. Doc kept telling Bridget you have to give in to heart surgery. No way was all Bridget would say. During early spring in 1960, Doc kept saying Bridget me and you aren’t getting along there’s no use of you coming back. But he would schedule appointments. We kept coming for help. This Doctor had scheduled me for hemorrhoid surgery the next Monday after he seen Bridget that time. Doc told us has John bring you in Omer, and stop at my office before going to the hospital. We did as Doc told us. I walked in and Doc said John bring you. I said he sure did. Then Doc said is Bridget here, no I said, she stayed home because I am scheduled for surgery. Good Doc said I hoped she would stay home. Because Bridget has only about 2 months left if she doesn’t give in to heart surgery. And Omer you can live with your trouble the rest of you life. You had them a long time, haven’t you? I did since I was 10-12 years old. The Doctor then said Omer a Doctor Brungardt in Salina, Kansas, that has lived with a heart condition like Bridget has. I am going to call him and ask him to accept Bridget, to check her. He phone Dr. Brungardt, I heard him talk. He then turned to me and said Bridget has an appointment this Thursday, We came to Dr. Brungardt. Bridget got on the examining table. Soon Dr. Brungardt said (Bridget) Dr. Bise at Wakeeney is right, you have to have heart surgery if you want to live. But I think if you are only a few minutes away from a doctor you may have a chance. You will have an appointment here 3 weeks from now. And then your address must be Salina, Kansas, I mean in town. If you want to be my patient. But come back before 3 weeks if you need to. With that we decided on the way home to have a sale, let it be known why. In hopes we could have a sale and move to Salina in 3 weeks. May 19-1960 we had our sale, May 20. Bridget was to see Dr. Brungardt. On our way to Salina we decided to buy a house if we could with our means. Bridget said buy if we can, let’s not rent. Then if I die soon like we were told then just walk off Omer and don’t pay anymore. Dr. Brungardt had told us (Bridget) you have about 3 weeks left is all, if you don’t give in to heart surgery. On May 20 1960 we bought our house we lived in the rest of Bridget's life. On May 20th we went home and on may 26-1960 we moved to Salina. We got to our house a little after 4 p.m. between then and midnight I called Dr. Brungardt twice for help. He told me what to do. But bring Bridget in by 8 o’clock the next morning, which we done. From then on for about a year Bridget went to doctor Brungardt 3 times a week, lots of times once and twice a day. It did get better for Bridget, and then she went every 2 weeks till Dr. Brungardt died in 1962. His wife asked us to go to another Dr Here in Salina. This Dr. had us come in every 2 weeks some times sooner from 1962 till 1968 when Bridget was sent to the KU Med Center in Kansas City, KS knowing they would do heart surgery. They replaced her aorta valve that time June 1968. In 1970 Bridget had her gallbladder removed in 1980 Bridget was sent to St. Lukes Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri to have another heart surgery, the mistral valve was replaced. The aorta valve was a plastic valve ball in a cage; the mistral valve was a metal baffle type on a hinge. In 1986 Bridget was to have another valve replaced at St. Lukes. But the Doctors decided that would do more harm than good, so she was sent home to die. From May 1960 till April 27-1990 when Bridget and I (Omer) was asked by 2 priest, 2 Drs. and several nurses to pray Bridget can die, not that she will die for that is wrong. For the 1968 valve our insurance paid $41,000.00. People donated 26 pints of blood, for Bridget and for the 1980 valve the same insurance paid $141,000.00, we didn’t know how much blood was donated. I retired in 1984 from the Postal Service at the age of 62½ years. The following is repeat Tape #1A some how (Omer) remembering life this way on Tape #2A, Side B I am Omer the 5th child of the 13. I was born on Feb. 6-1922, on a farm northeast of Hays, Kansas about 20 miles. I don’t remember anything about my birthplace. Our folks moved from there to a farm, about 8 miles Southeast of Collyer, Kansas when I was 3 years old. On this place I remember the poor house, and our Dad bringing a tree trunk home to put across the barn that had been dug in a bank. I think the tree trunk was about 40 foot long. The tree was used as the main roof support. I remember mom getting her new sewing machine and Dad trading their Model T Ford car for a used Chevy car I think in 1928. I remember our mail box was about 2 miles from our house. I started school; it was a little over 2 miles from our house. On this place I remember (my growing up days began) accidents, fights, serious playing, eating poison milkweed, play farming and fear, For details listen to tape number 1 and 2 I remember moving from this farm to a farm southwest of Grinnell, Kansas, there our mailbox and school, both were about ½ mile from our house. I remember the teacher there gave me a good spanking. That was my second spanking; the teacher at Collyer also laid the ruler on me. Both times it was because I cried my eyes out, for no reason. On this place I learned how to skin (cats the animal) and haul feed. For details listen to tape number 1 and 2. I remember moving from this farm to a farm 20 miles southeast of Oakley Kansas or 3 miles west and 2 miles south of (Orion, Kansas our address). While we lived on this farm I helped or learned cow or cattle herding. Driving the cow herd, 2 miles morning and evening 6 and 7 days a week, 2 summers. I learned how to get home after the buggy wheel brakes down, how to use a buggy for fun. I remember the folks built all the buildings on this farm. It had no buildings or well when the folks bought it. Our mailbox was 2¼ miles from the house. Our schoolhouse was 2½ miles from the house. On this farm we planted 4 crops of wheat and 3 plantings of corn and never got enough rain to sport the kernels. The drought and dust storms caused mom and dad to lose this farm. From there I remember moving to a farm 1 mile east ¼ mile north of Enosdale, Kansas or 6 miles south 1 mile east of Morrowville, Kansas. Our mailbox was ¼ mile from this house; our schoolhouse was 1½ miles from this house. I finished my schooling (8th grade) in that school. On this farm I remember me nursing a mule colt back to life. I remember also plowing with a 1926 Dodge car on this farm I had my last fight or beating. For details listen to tape number 1 and 2. From this farm I remember moving to a farm 2 miles West and 8½ miles north of Morrowville, Kansas. On this farm I learned how it feels to be told after my brother and I sold our pigs. Well Omer I spent you half of the money to buy a ring. For details listen to tape number 1 and 2. From this farm I went to the Army. While I was in the Army, only 5 months. Dad and Mom moved to a farm 2½ miles south of Washington, Kansas. On this farm I remember (me) saving a litter of 7 pigs. The mother died soon after giving birth. I took a pie tin with milk in it and somehow I got all 7 to drink out of the pie tin. They all 7 grew up. From this farm I went on my own working for other farmers, then car and tractor dealers in Washington till after me and Bridget got married at the age of 29½ both the same age. In the St. Peters, Kansas Catholic Church. I remember in 1937 I was glad to go to my last day of my school classes. I remember the local draft board classified me 4F twice, and then I asked the draft board to please put me in 1A. Then in Nov. 1942 I was drafted and inducted in the Army 104 Infantry. In April of 1943 I was medically discharged. I remember my major sickness in my life (71 years to date) besides a belly ache all my life. In 1934 appendicitis surgery, 1935 dust pneumonia, 1937 Dr. Bitzer sent me to K.U. Med Center for my stomach trouble, double hernia and vasectomy surgery to correct my hernia and testicle swelling, prostrate surgery, lower back surgery and left rotator cuff surgery and hemorrhoid surgery. I being too young to have many responsibilities I have no right to explain the 1930’s dust storms or the 1930’s depression. I do remember the dust storms, I wore a cloth over my nose and mouth after I had dust pneumonia, and I do remember the complete crop failures 4 or 5 years. Our, the 13 brothers & sisters parent hardships can be heard on Tape number 0, or what our mother wrote. In what Norman Moore wrote in 1977, or a book called (making do and doing without, Kansas in the Great Depression) on page 3B I will go in detail on what I know about the move. This is on side B, Tape #2A I do remember the move from the farm 3 miles west and 2 miles south of Orion, Kansas, to the farm 1 miles East of Enosdale, Kansas in 1936. Dad had taken the farm machinery all apart. The 28 foot semi truck was sent out from Belleville, Kansas by August Nutsch. In that truck dad put the household items (what all I don’t remember) the farm machinery, 4 cows, 1 or 2 calves, 5 horses, 2 pigs, 1 dog, 2 cats and 12 chickens. Brother Elmer and I 9Omer) got in with the driver and took off. Dad, mom, Irene, Edna, Haddie, Jack, Agnes, Phillip and Betty took off in a 1929 Chevy car with a 2 wheel trailer hooked on. We with the truck went 1 mile east of Enosdale there we should have turned north to get to the place the folds had rented. But we turned south and went ½ miles to a vacant place, there we unloaded the truck. The driver then took me and Elmer about 15 miles north to August Nutsch, we got there a little after midnight, the next morning me, Elmer, Richard and August Nutsch went to check on our goods. We didn’t find it where it was to be. So we looked for and found it a mile South. So we moved our belongings to the place it belonged. Our parents came three days after that. I think it was 284 miles from Orion to Enosdale. I remember our parents never (ever) had indoor plumbing, never had electricity till 1945 or 1946. Cow chips (dry cow manure) were their fuel for cooking and heating till 1936. The first telephone we had was 1940 or 1941. Our parents bought their first radio in 1937 or 1938, powered by 1, 6 volt battery. When I say our folks never had electricity or running water I mean before the folks moved into town. There of course they had it. This is on Tape #2 A Side B Tape # 01 and side A A few thoughts about the cattle herding that I played a part in. In the fore part of the 1930’s dad acquired the right to graze our cattle on ground 2 miles from where we lived. I think it was on 640 acres we could graze. Our folks had 110 of cattle. My brother Albinus and I would drive the herd 2 miles to graze in the morning. We would leave home anytime after sunup; we had 1 pony or saddle horse and 1 light weight work horse. We didn’t have any saddle, we rode bare back. We stayed with the herd till around mid afternoon, and then we drove them home. After a while another brother Elmer joined us two. From then on two of us rode the same horse. I don’t remember us boys taking a lunch with us. We may have water we took along, or go to a close neighbor for water. I started working for farmers in the summer of 1937 for $2.50 a week and room and board. I worked full time for farmers starting in 1939. In 1941 I learned to pick corn. I had picked corn before. But in 1941 I hired out to pick corn for 4¢ a bushel. I hired out to Joe Weber and the first thing Joe said when I came to his place. He said I am going to go with you this first morning and show you how to pick so you can make good wages. And I did learn and had no problem picking up to 100 bushels a day and unloaded it by shoveling it in the corn crib. From then on I picked up to about 5000 bushels each fall. Then I would stop picking per bushel and goes work for farmers by the month doing all kinds of farm work. I recall one guy hired me to pick corn. I had told him his wagon wheels are not good enough. He was a John Deere dealer. The second day about 4:00 I had a full wagon piled high but it would hold the rest of the 2 rows which is what you picked as you went. The one rear wheel broke down, as it went down it also broke the wagon box apart. In November of 1942 I went to the Army 104th Infantry. I was in the Army only 5 months. I spent over 2 months of that time in the hospital. I was sick before, during, after and still have the same bad stomach. April 1943 I was discharged with a medical discharge. (In May 1943 I went to work for Uncle Tony Kinderknecht at Parks, Kansas. There we hauled 43 loads of sand to build their new house. After we shoveled the sand on Uncle Tony's 1931 Ford 1½ ton truck we took it 8 miles to shovel the sand off, we made 2 trips a day. I done the farming when Uncle Tony wasn’t able he was sick a lot at harvest Aunt Susan and I done the harvesting. Uncle Tony was out in the truck to watch and haul the wheat to town when he was able. When the wheat had to be shoveled in the bin, then I done that and Aunt Susan would go to the house till I was unloaded. After harvest we moved Uncle Tony and family into an old Butcher shop building setting in their yard, and we tore down their old house the house our Grandparents build. Uncle Tony got well enough to help tear down some and do some of his farming. When he wasn’t able then I done most of the farming at night because I was to help tear down the house for time reasons. So the new house could be started. Since the butcher shop building was too small for all of us to sleep in. Uncle Tony and family slept in that place and I had the truck or barn to sleep in which is how it should be. Only 2 times I can remember I had any unwelcome guest. Both times I slept in the barn, when I woke up in the morning there was a rat sitting on my stomach. Neither time did the rat bite me? The new basement was dug and poured. We mixed the cement with an old type mixer the mixture was for each batch 40 shovels of sand and 10 shovels of Portland cement. The mixture was poured in a wheel-barrow, and then the loaded wheelbarrow was pushed to the proper spot and dumped into the basement form. Digging the basement Uncle Tony and I done alone using 4 horses, a walking plow, spades, 1 fresseno. For tearing the old house down and running the cement, neighbors, Uncle Alex, 2 of his boys and the carpenter our Uncle Andrew Linenberger were there. I think in September 1943 I came back to Washington to pick corn. When I left Uncle Tony his new house was just the basement, it was done, but on hold. In March or April 1944 I went back out to Uncle Tony to do his farming when he was not able and during the daytime I helped build the house to finish. Uncle Tony was in the Quinter, KS hospital and laid up about 2 months. In 1944 while the new house was being build. Myself a nephew to Uncle Tony and a nephew to Aunt Susan worked there. The big difference I could see was from 8 to 5 the carpenter and the other nephew was part of the crew. But at 5:00 the other nephew and Uncle Andrew Linenberger went to town to live. I helped do chores before 8:00 a.m., helped do chores and or done the farming after 5:00 p.m. and I got $60.00 a month plus room and board. The other nephew got $60.00 a month and dinner only. After the house was done, Uncle Tony and I set into digging 2 cesspools. One was 6 feet across and 31 feet deep and 1 on the other side of the house was 7 foot across 27 feet deep, plus 5-8 inch post holes beyond the 27 feet. I myself dug every inch of both. We put a tripod over the hole with an attached pulley and a rope tied to a 15 gallon barrel and attached the rope to a single tree so 1 horse hitched to it, would pull the barrel of dirt up to be dumped. Uncle Tony was able to handle the horse and at times he could dump the barrel other times other help handled that part. When the cesspools were done, we set out to dig the water line trench from the house to the well a little over 200 feet, for that we used a walking plow, 2 horses and long handled shovels. Uncle Tony was able to help some on that otherwise, I done it alone. After the fall work was pretty well done, I come back to Washington to pick corn in the fall of 1944. After that I started to work in town and farmers. In 1945 I started to work for car and tractor dealer. In 1945 or 1946 I bought the acreage that brother Victor and Katie lived on and they bought the acreage from me. In 1944 I slept in the basement instead of the barn or the truck. Uncle Tony, Alex and Felix Kinderknecht, helped each other in 1943 and 1944, so when Alex or Felix needed extra help, I was sent to help them. Which is how it should be? Uncle Tony had a 3 day limit for me to help the other two. I do believe one of my most treasured thoughts I have of my single life is, knowing I gave 50¢ out of every dollar I earned to my parents, after I was out on my own till four years before I got married. Before that I like my sisters and brothers gave all our money earned to Dad and Mom. The water line trench was 36 inches deep. I think I had to make it about 18 inches wide so I could dig and shovel out the ground. Getting the sand for the new house Uncle Tony and I took his farm tractor, his 1½ ton 1931 Ford truck and a 6 foot freeseno, about 8 miles north to the Saline River to the sand bar. Uncle Tony drove the tractor hitched to the freeseno out on the sand bar to drag the sand out on the grass, put on windrows. I handled the freeseno by controlling the handle loaded and followed behind to the place where, by controlling the fresseno handle the sand was dumped on windrows. After a few days we would have enough sand windrows for several days of hauling. We would park the truck beside the windrow. Then shovel the sand up on the truck bed. Go home and shovel the sand off for latter use. We hauled enough sand on three piles so the whole house could be and was built. After the room partitions or studs were in the house we nailed lath to the ceiling joist and wall studs. (Lath) are narrow strips of lumber 4 ft long to be nailed with 1 nail for each ceiling joists, which were 16 or 24 inches apart, and to each partition studding. The Lath nails were number 5 made for lath. Buted or treated so they wouldn’t rust. The lath were spaced, the thickness of a lath apart the lath were 5/16 inch thick. That left an open slit between laths to let the plaster cement mixture to cling to, on the back side the cement would form a little roll like. The lath was used before sheetrock or drywall was used to enclose the inner walls or ceiling joists. The plaster cement was prepared by screening the sand I think we used number 16 screen. For each batch we shoveled in 30 shovels of sand, 10 shovels of plaster cement, 3 shovels nun slacked lime and enough water. It was put in a mixing box ours was 24” wide, 6 ft long, 6 inches deep. It was mixed with a mortar hoe, which was a large hoe with a hole in the hoe on each side of the handle. The cement was mixed, then shoveled in a pail and carried in the house, dumped on a table. The man doing the plastering would take this cement to apply it to the lath with a plastering trowel. Putting on enough pressure so the cement mixture would go through the slits in between the lath and smooth it as you plastered. The thickness of the plaster or (mixture) plus the lath was to be ¾ inch, the lath 5/16”, the plaster 3/8”. When this layer was dry then a 1/16 in finish coat, cement, water, and sand that had been through or over a screen I think number 24 screen. For the basement walls and floor, the sand we hauled was used as it came. Then for laying up the brick the sand was shoveled over a number 10 screen, I think #10. The brick mortar was 20 shovels of sand, 5 shovels of mortar cement and water that was mixed in a mortar box 2 ft wide, 6 ft long, 6 inches deep, then shoveled in a pail and taken to the brick layer. Myself and Aunt Susan’s nephew took turns mixing the cement and carrying it and carrying the brick, and doing the jointing which is using a round iron to smooth out the cement between each two brick or joint. I do not remember the number of sacks of mortar cement we mixed each day. I do remember Uncle Andrew laid up to 1500 brick per day. And I remember when the house was PREFACE TO THE LINENBERGER GENEALOGY The purpose in establishing a record of the Linenberger family is to revive the history of our forebears who migrated from Germany to Russia and thence to America. This compilation of historical material includes: Dates of births, marriages, and deaths of the older members together with a genealogical record of all generations from 1765 to the present time. In addition, some mention is made of their spiritual, financial, and educational advancements. This compilation has been carried on for nearly four years, during which the authors have extended every effort to collect data and material to make accurate record possible. In the pursuance of this research, a great deal of time, work, and money was spent in order to gather the required information. To contact the numerous families, there was a constant stream of correspondence and telephone calls. Also, in connection with this work, there were frequent trips to libraries, rectories, and cemeteries. Extensive research regarding the family line was being done in Germany; while also work was being done in exchange for information with the genealogical library at Salt Lake City, Utah. It is the sincere wish of the authors that this book, which has been written in memory of the persistent struggle and hardships of our ancestors, will find a place in every home of the Linenberger descendants; and that they regard it with esteem to their predecessors. The purpose of the Linenberger Genealogy is to establish a record for posterity. To the author's knowledge, there was only new Linenberger family which migrated from Germany to Russia during the period 1766-68. It was the family of Joseph Linenberger, which located in Mariental, on the east side of the Volga River. Joseph was a carpenter and contractor by trade. But the Linenbergers, like the Germans who settled in the Volga region, were poor, and, to help make a living, established a Kavak (tavern). They also raised sheep and swine. The Linenbergers had only one child, Hanjoerg. At the age of none years, while herding sheep and swine, Hanjoerg was take prisoner during one of the raids by Kirghiz from the East. After living with them for eleven years, he escaped and returned to the home of his parents at Mariental. Hanjoerg marred Margaret Fisher. At the time of his marriage, he was about thirty years old. Five children were born to Hanjoerg and Margaret--two sons and three daughters. Only descendants of the two sons came to America. The authors were unable to secure a record of the three daughters. Hanjoerg's oldest son, Melchoir, married twice. His first marriage was to Katherine (Kattel) and Maria Eva. There was a record of the marriages of these three children, but only descendants of Johannes came to America. One daughter of Johannes Linenberger and Maria Younger, Anna, came to America and married John Knoll. Melchoir married a second time--this time to Katherine Margaret Klipphahn Schreiner von Riedel Salzman. It was her fourth marriage. To Melchoir and Katharine Margaret, six children were born. Five of these and their families came to America. Katharine (a daughter) married Nickolaus Schmamme and remained in Russia. However, Katherine's son, Gottfried, came to America with his family. Katharine Margaet, before her union with Melchoir Linenberger, had married and had lost, through death, three husbands. The first of these was Peter Schreiner. She had only one son by him. His name was Joseph. Joseph was married three times. There is a record of the marriages, but only Andreas, the son of Joseph Schreiner and Maria Schnell (his second marriage), came to America. The other descendants remained in Russia. Katharine Margaret Klipphahn Schreiner then married Mathaeus von Riedel. It was the second marriage for both. They had one son, Johannes. Two of Johannes Riedel and Anna Richmeier's children and families and descendants of two others came to America. Katharine Margaret Klipphahn Schreiner von Reidel next married Johannes Salzman. One child lived to marry Johannes Goetz. Three children of Johannes Goetz and Margaret Salzman and descendants of a fourth one came to America. John Michael Linenberger, second son of Hanjoerg, also married and had three sons. There is no record of daughters of this marriage, but Peter, a son of John Michael, married Margaret Legleiter and came to America with their son, John Michael. Later another son, Alex, was born in America. The first Linenbergers who came to America were the fourth and fifth generation descendants of the Joseph Linenberger who came to America, some going into the eighth and ninth generations. The Linenbergers in America had correspondence with their relatives in Russia for many years, but, unfortunately, the connection was broken and the tracing of the family line in Russia was made impossible on account of the Red Russian revolution after World War I, the destruction of churches and records, the repatriation of the Germans from the Volga region to Asiatic Russia during the siege of Stalin grad in World War II, and the Iron Curtain since the war. The authors were fortunate in being able to get most of the dates and the history from the time of the migration to Russia up to and including the migration to America. It was more difficult to obtain dates for later generations, and for that reason space has been provided in this book where each family may keep its own record. It is the sincere hope of the authors that family pride will prompt each Linenberger descendant to expand this genealogy, and to keep a complete record of succeeding generations. And, who knows, but some future Linenberger will see fit to establish Linenberger archives to house the complete tree and other records to this tribe of stalwarts whose past reflects sacrifice, ability and stamina worthy of emulation by anyone who bears this honored family name.

JoSEPTEMBERhine Pfannenstiel MARRIED JoSEPTEMBERh Urban Character study on Christof & Helen Stoecklein The thoughts and recollections of them come to us through their youngest dAUGUSThter, who at this writing was still living in Hays, Kansas. She is Catherine Zimmerman (Stoecklein). Both her parents, Christof and Helen came over to America on the same steam boat "SUEVIA" which landed in New York on AUGUSTust 3, 1876. With the help of guides and contacts there, they traveled westward, until they eventually landed in Victoria, KS. With this famous father, Peter Stoecklein, who was one of the five scouts to America from Russia before this trip took place, Christof and the Peter Stoecklein family finally moved to Munjor, Kansas. Christof was 17 years old at the time they came to America. There were six children living, as they landed and Christof was the third oldest living, but the fourth oldest born, since the oldest dAUGUSThter Anna died on the voyage, and had to be buried at sea. The first job was to find work, and to. raise money. Christof and his three brothers go some work on the United Pacific Rail4roaDIED His father, Peter Stoecklein, obtained a Homestead certificate # 991 in Wakeny, Kansas on AUGUSTust 1, 1883. He got 80 acres of land, seven miles south of Hays, KS. CHristof also got a Homestead Certificate #2854, adjacent to his fathers land, on AUGUSTust 7, 1888. He married Helena Herklotz on JANUARYuary 26, 1880, in Munjor, Kansas. With the Homestead Certificate,, he obtained 180 acres of land right adjacent to his father, Peter Stoecklein. He farmed this land, as well as some plots of land near by, until his son Alexander went into the army for World War I. He then moved to Munjor, where he had a small home, and lived in their small Munjor home for the remainder of his life. He was always very quiet and never got overly exciteDIED He bore his burden of poverty graciously and his family honored him for it. He had cancer, and was sick quite a number of years. He died DECEMBER. 2, 1936, at the age of 76 years. He was married 56 years and reared their nine children. She was commonly called by the endearing name of "Lehnya". Her parents were Gottfried Herklotz and Mary Catherine Boos. When the people were making ready to leave Russia for America, Helena desperately wants to come along to America with her brother Carl Anton. Carl gave his parents a solemn promise, that he personally would take care of "Little Lehnya." So, with that assurance, she came along. According to church records, she was born in "Paninskojje", or Schoenchen Russia, on MARCH 2, 1859. She came on the same boat as Christof. When Helena's group went Westward, they first land in Leibenthal, and from there to Schoenchen, KS. Helena was by nature a kind girl and one who always helped others. She was happiest when she could do someone a favor. This story tells something about her spirit of congeniality. "She spent most of her life on her feet." This happened on the earliest times in Ellis County, The family needed jobs and money desperately. Her brother Carl told her that there were jobs in Salina, Kansas. "How do were eget there?" Henea askeDIED "we walk there" was the answer. So they set our toward Salina, Kansas via the railroad tracks. When they finally got there, Helena's legs and feet were terribly sore and swollen. They took off their shoes but they couldn't get them back on again. So, Helena sat around the track, while her brother went to look for jobs. Luckily, after some time, he did return, with jobs for both of the MARRIED So they worked in Salina for a time. Christof anDIED Helen was married in Munjor and started their life of their own. This started a long fifty six years of married life for them on the farm, which was situated seven miles south of Hays, KS. Here she spent many years with busy hands and busy feet. She always had a nice garden on that farMARRIEDIED She grew many vegetables. One time she had an exceptionally large watermelon. She took this melon and toted it on foot, to Hays and sold it. With the money she brought back several shirts for Christof and his younger brother and a few other little things. She was very tired, but when she was the happy faces on the men who got the shirts, she forgot her pains and was just as happy as they wren. It was harder to tell who was happier, the recipient or the giver. Schooling was not open to all the children. The younger ones got to go, but not so the older ones, since they were needed on the far MARRIED After they moved down to Munjor, he did practically no work. His health was failing. It was common sight to see him on the porch, rocking himself and smoking his pipe, while she kept rising around and in and out of the house. He finally died of cancer, and following this, she would stay with the children of her family, spending some time with all of the MARRIED She spent most of her years in Hays, where she died at the age of 92 years. All in Hays neighborhood where she stayed, knew her and loved her. She never wore a hat in her life. She always wore dark clothes and a kerchief over her head called a "Babushka." After she died, the people missed that familiar figure, dressed in dark, walking to church, with the quick rapid steps. The five Scouts, from Volga Region, who were sent to America, to look over the new territory, if it would be a suitable place to which to migrate, and make a new home in America.

Died in Munjor, KS Aug 7, 1935 The John and Anna Margaret Schumacher Family John Schumacher was born in Munjor, NOVEMBER ember 6, 1883. His parents were Anton Schumacher and Pauline (Ruder). John's father moved to Victoria, and had a General Merchandise store there in Victoria. He seemed to do well. John showed great interest in the business, so his father sent him to Salina, Kansas, to attend a business school there, so as to be able to run the affairs of the store. John married Anna Margaret Stoecklein on NOVEMBER, 22, 1904 in Victoria, KS. Business must have been good, because John’s father opened another store in Ellis, KS which John was destined to manage. This he did with great energy and dedication. John was business and Anna Margaret took care of the family. The two first children, of the five were born in Victoria. Those who visited at the Schumacher home, were always met with a family that was enthusiastic and the welcome was warm and cordial. It was a real tragedy when John contacted a serious illness, and before told long, died, leaving the mother the chore of raising the five children. Anna Margaret, or "Immigrate" as she was usually called, was the mother of this small and unfulfilled family. She was born in Munjor, KS, FEBRUARYruary 21, 1886. She was, as were many of the girls of the Stoecklein family, very calm, and quiet, but a very good mother. When her husband John died, she immediately inherited a bundle of responsibility. There were now five children, the last girl, Lietta, being born only three months after her father's death. How to finance a family of five children, was a real problem The grandmother, Mrs. Pauline Schumacher was a fair Godmother to this family. She took care of the furnishing of the clothing of the children and also many other sundry needs of the children. Added to that, Anna Margaret inherited 320 acres of land out near Ogalla, Kansas, from her grandfather Schumacher. This helped to keep body and soul together. Additional income was on hand through Anna Margaret's daily work as seamstress, which she built up into a business, but which was conducted from her home. She did not live far from the church, so when the priests needed someone who could cook for them, Anna Margaret was always glad to oblige. The priests paid MAY even social calls on her to encourage her in her big task. The children wren in all agreement about their mother's character: She was extremely kind and never had an enemy. She was most generous with her help and work. She died at the age of 87 years, after a completed full life. Bridget has been a resident of the St. Peter area her entire life. She married Seraphine Brungardton MAy 3, 1938 at St. Anthoy's Catholic CHurch; St. Peter, Kansas. They have six children: Phyllis Martin, Rosalita Geci, Sarah herman, Frank, Theresa Staab and Dennis. Bridget and Seraphine would be married for over 56 years. Seraphine died March 24, 1988. Bridget is the descendant of John A. and Christine (Kessler) Knoll (Grandparents) and Gottfried and Barabara (Billinger) Knoll (Parents). Maternal descendant of Andrew and Magdalena (Sanders) Billinger (Grandparents). Darrin and Michellle (Schamberger) Brungardt Darrin and Michelle have been residents of the St. Peter area their entire lives. Darrin and Michelle were married on August 7, 1993 at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, St. Peter, Kansas. They have been married over a year. Darrin is a descendant of John A. and Christine (Kessler) Knoll (Great-Great Grandparents), Gottfried and Barbara (Billinger) Knoll (Great-Grandparents), Seraphine and Bridget (Knoll) Brungardt (Grandparents) and Frank and Donna (Keith) Brungardt (parents).

Frank is the maternal descendant of JOhn A, and Christine (Kessler) Knoll (Great-Grandparents), Andreas and Magdalena (Sanders) Billinger (Great Grandparents), Gottfried and Barbara Billinger Knoll (Grandparents) and Seraphine and Bridget (Knoll) Brungardt (parents). John and Coletta (Ochs) Brungardt JOhn has been a resident of the St. Peter area his entire life. His ancestors were one of nine famileis to settle in St. Peter in 1894. He married Coletta Ochs on May 5, 1953 at Sacred Heart Church, Park, Kansa. They have three children: Diane Heroneme, Loretta Pyle and Donald. John and Coletta have been married for over 41 years. John is the descendant of John and Katharina (Rome) Brungardt, Sr. (Grandparents), Joseph and Catherine (Hoffman) Rohleder (Grandparents), and Balthazar and Margaret (Rohleder) Brungardt (parents). Having volunteered to present a genealogical record of the families of BALTHASAR BRUNGARDT and MARGARET nee SCHAMME BRUNGARDT for the 1985 Brungardt family reunion, I have spent many hours this past year corresponding and getting aquainted with family members. My husband Eugene J. Riedel is the direct descendant of the Brungardts, and since I am the writer in our family, I took it upon myself to compile this genealogy. Some of my ancestral information was aquired from the GOLDEN JUBILEE OF GERMAN RUSSIAN SETTLEMENTS OF ELLIS AND RUSH COUNTIES OF KANSAS, 1926; THE VOLGA GERMAN HERITAGE OF KANSAS By Richard Keller for some of the superstitious listed; and the BRUNGARDT GENEALOGY by Helen L. Hall, church records, which I have found are not always correct; and last but not least, all the little tidbits remebered from grandparents growing up. Without these sources of information, this genealogy would not be possible. To all the fine people who were so gacious to retun the family charts, for sending snapshots, and making telephone calls, I give my heartfelt thanks. Without you, I could not have completed this book. To my husband Gene, who has been so patient during the many hours of silence while I sat at the typewriter inmy endeavor to complete this book on time, thank you for your patience. Some of the families' records are not complete, simply becasue I could not locate them, or because I lacked information, or I did not receive any acknowledgement of my letters. It is with regret that I have to omit these families. I wish to add at this point that if someone in the family wishes to explore the family history further, free access to my material will be granted so that our heritage MAY live on for future generations. If errors have been entered, forgive me, they were not intentional. Good luck and I hope you enoy reading the book as much as I have enjoyed working on it. Much research has been doen by members of the Brungardt family. Many aspects have been reached, some conclusive, however, as to the exact region in Germany where the Brungardts originateDIED Prospectity and spiritual unity was shattered in europe during the sixteenth century, when Martin Luther, a Greman Priest, launched a protest against the Pope and Holy Roman Empire. Luther's protestant movement gained him thousands of followers. As a result of the movement, the terrible religious war, caused by Habsburg Emperors to suppress protestantism in Bohemia (now known as Czechoslovakia) and Germany, lasted for thirty years. The many years of constant wasr left Germany so devastated, that when Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, offered what seemed to be a life of ease and plenty of land, the German people made great efforts to emigrate. Our ancestors left their homeland with thousands of others in 1765 to trek across a vast domain, thousands of miles, with only bare necessities and much faith and endurance. Many perished on the way due to old age, illness, and exhaustion. It is believed that the Brungardts were followers of Martin Luther since they were of the Luthern faith. However, upon reaching the steppes of Russia, our ancestoral grandparents made their home in the village of Herzog onm the Meadow-side of the Volga River, and converted to the Catholic faith. Only in our wildest dreams can we imagine the struggle and hardships they had to endure for the first ten years, beginnign with nothing, and then prospering for over hundreds of years. After the death of the Empress Catherine, government laws in Russia changed drastically. The prosperity of the German people angered the Russians, and the era of self-adminsitration came to an enDIED Alexander III, ruler of Russia, met the crying need to reforMARRIED Stirring up unjustly harsh exercises of race against race and religion against religion.

German Cooking One of the desirable still very much in existence are the delicious recipies used in the kitchens of our ancestral homemakers. It is unknown how far in the past that some of these recipies have been useDIED Meat was not always available for the simple reason that it could not be kept very long without spoilage. The homemaker could prepare a meal without meat and it would be fit for a KING. All she needed were the basics of mil;k, cream, eggs, flour, sugar, potatoes, and onions. Animals, mostly hogs, were butchered in early spring, the meat was fried down and put in large crocks or containers, covered with hot lard, and stored in the cellar or cave. Those who were fortunate to have an ice house could keep meat into the latter part of the summer. Thus wa the case of the John MARRIED Brungardt family. Pork put up in the fall of the year was salted down and kepty in a large wooden barrel. It sat outside on the north side of the house where the sun could not reach it, and was covered well with a heavy object to keep animals from getting inside. Head cheese (Liverwurst) made from the head of the hog, when cooked, was trimmed and the meat ground with liver and heart and stuffed into cleaned entails. This was a delicacy, warmed, and eaten for breakfast. Chickens were raised by the hundreds in the summer months from setting hens. When the egges were hatched, the little chickens were taken from the hen and the hen set on another batch of eggs. It took four weeks to hatch one batch of eggs. As many as twelve hens were setting on a batch of usually twelve eggs for each hen. Therefore, chicken was eaten often in the late summer months. Noodles were made every few days. We still use many of the noodle favorites today, such as noodle soup made from either chicken stock or beef, noodles and beans, needle and bean soup seasoned with sour cream, and Kase nedle baked int he oven. These are only a few of the noodle dishes. No doubt, there were many more. On busy days, another favorite and quick meal was the knebble and kartoffel (dumplings and potatoes), or schmarra made of flour, salt, water and eggs, then frieDIED The schmarra was made without potatoes. Rivel soup, green nean soup, sauerkraut soup, bean soup. These are only a few of the sous that were always a treat and were eaten at lest once every day. The delisious baked breads were baked at least every other day. Many varieties of mouth-watering breads came from the ovensof our ancestral homemakers. There were the kuchen and maldasch made with berries, such as the swartzberren brought from their homeland in Russia. The swartzberry, a small black berry, used in pies, kutchen, and maldasch as a desert, and are also cooked with knebble and kartoffel as a main meal. The cellar was stored with vegetables, both canned and dried for winter use--potatoes and onions being on the top of the list. Then ther were the carrots, which could be buried in the ground or in a container filled with sanDIED Flour, sugar and salt were purchased in towen and usually in fifty and hundred pound bags. Then in the fall of the year came the trip tp town to purchase cabbage to make sauerkraut. It was shredded with a kraut cutter and put into a large stone crock, usually a twenty-gallon size. After the cabbage had fermented to the desirable taste, it was packed into jars and sealeDIED Many a table was set with delicious sauerkraut soup, cooked with fresh pork. eas homemaker had her own special way of preparing a dish that carried down to the next genration. Friday was always a ameatless day, because of the religious tradition. Therefore, the dishes of noodles and beans were always a favorite. Sometimes knebble and kartoffel were served for the noon meal. Since the noodles were made of mostly eggs, the protein content was high enough that meat was not necessary. The list of favorite main dishes goes on and on, but I have mentioned the most common ones, and don't they make your mouth water?

The sides were then sewn together and the comforter was tied with cord to holdit together. Pillows large enough to cover the bed were made and filled with geese and duck feathers. This was a feather tick and wa used in the mid-winer months to coverup with. Quilts wre made in the same manner as the comforter, only the materials used were light cotton with a light weight cotton batting between and then stitched by hand to make a pleasing design.

Notes For Alexander Leiker: Alex had a severely damaged heart with leakage of the valves causing the heart to enlarge to double its normal size. He had rhemumatic fever at the age of 14. Alex worked as a farmer, carpenter, and a sheet metal man. He was a quality carpenter as he was quiet, patient and artculate in whatever he started. The way he taught his sons how to saw wood reflected his approach to life and people in general. He said that you let the saw ride without effort and never force it. He related that if one forces something, it just gets much harder to accomplish. He did not have taste for discipling his children and would rarely become irritated or angry. When he had to discipline he did it only half-hearted. It was obvious that he had his Mother's compassion and patience. The year prior to his death, he built a new home for the family and did all the finished carpentry work himself. He had to rest for extended periods of time but then would procede to work again. After Christmas he developed psnumonia and died January 3, 1953 of a combination of pneumonia, congestive heart failure and lung cancer. More about Alexander Leiker: Burial: January 10, 1953, Liebenthal, Kansas Cause of death: Congestive Heart Failure damaged by Rheumatic Fever at age 14. Medical Information: Developed Lung Cancer shortly before his death. He was a smoker of cigarettes. Notes for Christina Enslinger: Christina was a farmer, creamery and feed stor operator, an avid gardener, ironed clothes for a living and her last employment was as a housekeepr for St. Anthony's Hospital until she retired. Her husband was an invalid due to a severe heart condition and so she primarily had to be the provider and care giver. She was only 4' 10" tall and was called "Christinya." She had ten children of which the first was still-born after a very difficult birth. She almost single-handed raised nine children, made sure they all went to High school and they never went hungry. She made sure they had proper clothing even if she had to sew most of the items herself. They were never without proper shelter or medical care. She routinely would betcher 50 chickens, with the assistance of the children, in one day and would sell them to a local hospital. Her garden was large with a wide assortment of vegetables and for many yers grew three acres of potatoes. She canned anything not consumed immediately including beef and pork. A typical Saturday meant baking a dozen pies. Bread was baked at least every day. She baked many wedding cakes. On Mondays she washed and it was no uncommon for her to wash as many as twenty loads plus loads of wash and iron up to forty shirts since she had six sons and a husband. Until 1952 she cooked on a kerosene stove, had no refrigerator, and used a gas iron to iron clothing. Her washing machine was a gas powered machine.

November 16, 1943 Anthony Campus, Hays Character study on Christof & Helen Stoecklein The thoughts and recollections of them come to us through their youngest dAUGUSThter, who at this writing was still living in Hays, Kansas. She is Catherine Zimmerman (Stoecklein). Both her parents, Christof and Helen came over to America on the same steam boat "SUEVIA" which landed in New York on AUGUSTust 3, 1876. With the help of guides and contacts there, they traveled westward, until they eventually landed in Victoria, KS. With this famous father, Peter Stoecklein, who was one of the five scouts to America from Russia before this trip took place, Christof and the Peter Stoecklein family finally moved to Munjor, Kansas. Christof was 17 years old at the time they came to America. There were six children living, as they landed and Christof was the third oldest living, but the fourth oldest born, since the oldest dAUGUSThter Anna died on the voyage, and had to be buried at sea. The first job was to find work, and to. raise money. Christof and his three brothers go some work on the United Pacific Rail4roaDIED His father, Peter Stoecklein, obtained a Homestead certificate # 991 in Wakeny, Kansas on AUGUSTust 1, 1883. He got 80 acres of land, seven miles south of Hays, KS. CHristof also got a Homestead Certificate #2854, adjacent to his fathers land, on AUGUSTust 7, 1888. He married Helena Herklotz on JANUARYuary 26, 1880, in Munjor, Kansas. With the Homestead Certificate,, he obtained 180 acres of land right adjacent to his father, Peter Stoecklein. He farmed this land, as well as some plots of land near by, until his son Alexander went into the army for World War I. He then moved to Munjor, where he had a small home, and lived in their small Munjor home for the remainder of his life. He was always very quiet and never got overly exciteDIED He bore his burden of poverty graciously and his family honored him for it. He had cancer, and was sick quite a number of years. He died DECEMBER. 2, 1936, at the age of 76 years. He was married 56 years and reared their nine children. She was commonly called by the endearing name of "Lehnya". Her parents were Gottfried Herklotz and Mary Catherine Boos. When the people were making ready to leave Russia for America, Helena desperately want to come along to America with her brother Carl Anton. Carl gave his parents a solemn promise that he personally would take care of "Little Lehnya." So, with that assurance, she came along. According to church records, she was born in "Paninskojje", or Schoenchen Russia, on MARCH 2, 1859. She came on the same boat as Christof. When Helena's group went Westward, they first land in Leibenthal, and from there to Schoenchen, KS. Helena was by nature a kind girl and one who always helped others. She was happiest when she could do someone a favor. This story tells something about her spirit of congeniality. "She spent most of her life on her feet." This happened on the earliest times in Ellis County, The family needed jobs and money desperately. Her brother Carl told her that there were jobs in Salina, Kansas. "How do were eget there?" Henea askeDIED "we walk there" was the answer. So they set our toward Salina, Kansas via the railroad tracks. When they finally got there, Helena's legs and feet were terribly sore and swollen. They took off their shoes but they couldn't get them back on again. So, Helena sat around the track, while her brother went to look for jobs. Luckily, after some time, he did return, with jobs for both of the MARRIED So they worked in Salina for a time. Christof anDIED Helen were married in Munjor and started their life of their own. This started a long fifty six years of married life for them on the farm, which was situated seven miles south of Hays, KS. Here she spent many years with busy hands and busy feet. She always had a nice garden on that farMARRIEDIED She grew many vegetables. One time she had an exceptionally large watermelon. She took this melon and toted it on foot, to Hays and sold it. With the money she brought back several shirts for Christof and his younger brother and a few other little things. She was very tired, but when she was the happy faces on the men who got the shirts, she forgot her pains and was just as happy as they were. It was harder to tell who was happier, the recipient or the giver. Schooling was not open to all the children. The younger ones got to go, but not so the older ones, since they were needed on the farMARRIED After they moved down to Munjor, he did practically no work. His health was failing. It was common sight to see him on the porch, rocking himself and smoking his pipe, while she kept raising around and in and out of the house. He finally died of cancer, and following this, she would stay with the children of her family, spending some time with all of the MARRIED She spent most of her years in Hays, where she died at the age of 92 years. All in Hays neighborhood where she stayed, knew her and loved her. She never wore a hat in her life. She always wore dark clothes and a kerchief over her head called a "Babushka." After she died, the people missed that familiar figure, dressed in dark, walking to church, with the quick rapid steps. Reflections on Carl and Anna (Doefler) Stoecklein Carl H. Stoecklein was second oldest of the Christof and Helena Stoecklein family. The older children of Christof had to do a lot of heavy work in the family, since there was no help from any outside the family. The beginning years of the Stoecklin family were hard years. Carl was born SEPTEMBERtember 1, 1883, in Munjor, KS. He lived on his father's farm about seven miles south of Hays, KS. At the age of 21 years, on OCTOBERober 25, 1904, he got married to Anna Doefler, in Munjor, Kansas. By this time, the ninth child was already born, and the Grandparents' family was already on handed After this marriage with Anna, they moved a few miles south of Munjor, KS. They lived there until 1907. Their farming and family increased, so they sold this small farm and came to Ness City, of Ness County, and bought a quarter section of land south of Ness City. In a few years latter, they bought another quarter section. They also rented some land to farMARRIED Added to this, they had some cattle, mostly for their own use and hogs and chickens. Farming was a family affair, and with five healthy boys, he got the work done. Carl was remembered as a tall, lanky and quiet man, with good judgment and a good father. He died DECEMBERember 8, 1970 in Ness County, Ness City, age 66 years. Anna Doefler, the mother, was born FEBRUARYruary. 16, 1886. She was the dAUGUSThter of Conrad DOEFLER AND Elizabeth Schumacher. Elizabeth was the widow of Stanislaus Ruder and second wife of Conrad Doefler. This pair raised eleven children, one boy and one girl died young. The education of the parents was quite elemental, because the circumstances, were quite different than they were for their children. They were all educated in the schools, and even high school. Raising the folder on the farm was different from raising them in a city, where the father was in businesses. On the farms, both the father and mother were present to control and mold the family. This they did with equal authority. It was a busy farm, but a happy farMARRIED They were most generous hosts when relatives and friends visited the MARRIED Deep religious instructions were always top priority. As could be seen from their children, the Faith was deeply implant Died Anna Died Augustus 5, 1971 in Ness City, age 85 years. 2. The John and Anna Margaret Schumacher Family John Schumacher was born in Munjor, NOVEMBERember 6, 1883. His parents were Anton Schumacher and Pauline (Ruder). John's father moved to Victoria, and had a General Merchandise store there in Victoria. He seemed to do well. John showed great interest in the business, so his father sent him to Salina, Kansas, to attend a business school there, so as to be able to run the affairs of the store. John married Anna Margaret Stoecklein on NOVEMBER, 22, 1904 in Victoria, KS. Business must have been good, because John’s father opened another store in Ellis, KS which John was destined to manage. This he did with great energy and dedication. John was business and Anna Margaret took care of the family. The two first children, of the five were born in Victoria. Those who vested at the Schumacher home, were always met with a family that was enthusiastic and the welcome was warm and cordial. It was a real tragedy when John contacted a serious illness, and before toad long, died, living the mother the chore of raising the five children. Anna Margaret, or "Ammagrate" as she was usually called, was the mother of this small and unfulfilled family. She was born in Munjor, KS, FEBRUARYruary 21, 1886. She was, as were many of the girls of the Stoecklein family, very calm, and quiet, but a very good mother. When her husband John died, she immediately inherited a bundle of responsibility. There were now five children, the last girl, Lietta, being born only three months after her father's death. How to finance a family of five children, was a real probleMARRIED The grandmother, Mrs. Pauline Schumacher was a fair Godmother to this family. She took care of the furnishing of the clothing of the children and also many other sundry needs of the children. Added to that, Anna Margaret inherited 320 acres of land out near Ogalla, Kansas, from her grandfather Schumacher. This helped to keep body and soul together. Additional income was on hand through Anna Margaret's daily work as seamstress, which she built up into a business, but which was conducted from her home. She did not live far from the church, so when the priests needed someone who could cook for them, Anna Margaret was always glad to oblige. The priests paid MAY evening social calls on her to encourage her in her big task. The children were in all agreement about their mother's character: She was extremely kind and never had an enemy. She was most generous with her help and work. She died at the age of 87 years, after a completed full life. Adam Rohleder MARRIED to Eva Maria, migrated to Gross-Winternheim in 1670. Nowhere does it say where they came froMARRIED He was a master tailor. He belonged to the Catholic parish. He was a respected man and elected major of the city. Philip Rohleder Son of Adam was born in 1673. Johann Theodore Rohleder Son of Philip was born in 1708 and died in 1793, at age 85 in OberIngelheiMARRIED Peter Rohleder Born in 1732 died in 1779 at age 47 in Ober-Ingelheim Dr. Hellriegel told me to write to Scwabenheim, Germany where he felt records would show those who in 1765 migrated from Germany. Peter Rohleder married Catherine Niederquell. (Both lived in Russia) approx. 1800. The Niederquells were of the Lutheran faith. It is note-worthy that Niderquell is found today in Mainz, Germany near the village where the Rholeders live. Anton Rohleder married Barbara Meier. (Both lived and died in Russia). Anton died JANUARY. 13, 1903 and Barbara died AUGUST. 24, 1907. Nicholas Rohleder married Clementina Geier; 2 Mary Herman. The name was also spelled Herrmann, and Herman. Nicholas was born MARCH 25, 1861 in Graf, Russia and died APRIL 14, 1939 in Victoria, Kansas. His 1st wife Clementina was born in Graf, Russia and died in North Brothers Island, New York in Mar of 1892. Nicholas had 2 children from this wife: Mary born in 1888 and Peter or Pete in 1890. Nicholas Rohleder and Clemintina and the 2 children left Graf, Russia for America in the early part of 1892. They boarded the S.S. Gelelrt in Hamburg, Germany and after a long trip landed in New York Mar 14, 1892. When they arrived Clemintina was sick with a contagious disease. She died shortly thereafter and in buried in North Brothers Island, New York. Nicholas then came west with the 2 small children to Victoria, KS early in 1892. His aunt Catherine (Rohleder) Dreiling helped with the children. One can imagine the grief, the heartache as Nicholas left his young wife behind in a cemetery in New York and the train trip with the two small children must have seemed like an eternity until he reached Victoria, KS. He was a typical German man, stoic, religious and great faith. This is what sustained his difficult time. On JANUARY. 16, 1893, Nicholas married Mary Herman, a single girl and dAUGUSThter of Anton Herman and Elizabeth Dreiling.

FOREWARD With the celebration of the Bi-Centennial year of our Country, many documents and date have come alive, to awaken in the minds of our American citizens how rich their heritage over the the past two hundred years has been. It makes people more proud of their Country, and spurs them on to learning more about its history. In the same spirit, many family histories have appeared in print in recent years to motivate, to remind the present generation and those yet to come, just wo their ancestors were, from where they originated and what kind of people their forefathers really were. It has been a matter of great curiosity for me over a span of years, to wish for a clearer picture of our own Gottschalk relationship. For many years my relives have suggested that somebody should make this research! It is difficult for me to understand how George Henry Gottschalk (188 to 1917), with his education and years of teaching, never thought to set to writing the history of his family, together with the migration of his three brothers and himself over to America. , beginning with the year 1867. The written documents and information anof those years in our relationship were, to say the least very meager. Over the last fifteen years, this feeling of curiosity that possessed me became a determined desire to find an answer. It became clearer to me, that if there was to be a Family Tree Record, I had better take the task in hand now. Being inexperienced in this type of work the beginnings were naturally difficult and disheartening, because I could not find sources of information about whether there were relatives of our Grandparents will living in Germany, and if so, what was their present address. Without this first step, I knew there would be no adequate “Family Story”. At least three or four persons going to Germany had promised me an honest search in the area of Osnabrueck, but it always ended in failure. In May of 1973, I met a man in Victoria, Kansas, named Mr. Heinrich Witteman, whose wife was a nice to Fr. Jordon Hammel, Capuchin. This gentleman was from Mannheim, Germany, working in the Police Department. He listened to my story of frustrations, and then made me a solemann promise to make a thorough search in the Remsede, Germany, area, where our grandparents were born and raised. This was in May. His promise was” You will hear from me,” Nothing happened for eight months, and I thought it would end in the usual failure. Suddenly in January a letter arrived from Germany, telling me that Mr. Witteman had located a living relatiutiveve in that area, named Elizabeth Gottschalk, age 74 years, together with her address. I wasted no time writing alerter to her, explaining my projected Family Tree. Very quickly, Elizabeth Gottschalk’s married daughter, Hedwig Holtmeier, answered my letter, assuring me that her grandparent and pours were truly brothers. The rest of the history is in the first portion of our genealogy, Mrs. Holtmeir very graciously got all possible records from the old parish church, and whose records date back three hundred years. Through her efforts we have all the information from the home of our grandparents that was possible to find. It remained bow only to gather the information of the relatives in Pittsburg, Pa., and the Kansas area, which make up the contents of these books. THE NAME “Gottschalk” HAS A VERY ANCIENT AND INTERESTING ORIGIN. Because OF ITS CENTURIES OF USE AND ABUSE. It is not too surprising to find that ITS CORRECT SPELLING MAY BE DIFFICULT TO ESTABLISH. It contains two words: “Gott” and “Schalk.” The word Gott obviously means Gods. The problem arises with the second word “Schalk.” This is the crucial word, In old English writings, this word appeaed with precisely the same spelling as in the family name, and it meant simply “servant.” Men, who worked in the service of royalty or people of greater means and wealth, were called “Schalks. This word was taken fover into the early German language with the same meaning of servant. In later years, the meaning of Schalk grew to take the meaning of a mischievous fellow. In very early centuries in Germany, the name Gottschalk appeared as a family name, meaning very simply “God’s servant.” Through the centuries, this name took on many variations in spelling, due to doubt, to the fact that names were carelessly written as they sounded, or the fact that many people simply could not spell their name correctly. The word “Gott” alone, sometimes appears as “Got.” “God,” “Gad,” “Cut,” or “Gat.” The second wor5d, “Schalk” appears in many more variations, for example,” “Schlat,” “Schall,” “Schalck,” or Shalk.” It you join these two words in all their possible variations; you can understand why the family name took on endless variety of spellings. It might be of interest to mention some people in early history bore this name. 1. Gottschalk of Orbits, who lived from 803 to 869, a Benedictine monk and theologian. He defected from the Catholic Church mainly because of his false teachings on the doctrine of Predestination. 2. 2. Gottschalk of Limburg, Germany. He lived from 1010 to 1098. He was a poet. 3. 3. HISOTRY OF THE GOTTSCHAL NAME AND COAT OF ARMS THE REMSEDE AREA Remsede is a small village, which is situated in the northern section of Germany, at the end of the Teutoburg forest, surrounded on both sides at the base of a series of low foot hills. The big city of Osnabrueck is just 13 miles to the north, a city of about 150,000 inhabitants. Remsede was always a rather small rural village, and at the present time there are only about 800 inhabitants. It is a lush farm area which is set back from any heavy highway traffic. Up until a few years ago, Remsede was an independent town, but in recent years they joined three little villages under one mayor. The area is now called Laer-Remsede. The two little towns are about two miles apart. In earlier 1800, the address for Remsede inhabitants was written in this way: Kingdom of Hannover, Principality of Osbabrueck, and town of Remsede. Hence you see that Remsede used to belong to the Kingdom of Hannover, not the town of Hannover. This led some of our relatives to say that our ancestry was from Hannover, Germany, which was not too accurate. The nearest large city, Osbabrueck, is just 13 miles to the north. Most of their business, advanced schooling, and other needs, were taken care of in this large city. On the map of Germany, just look for Osnabrueck, and Remsede is just 13 miles due south. In modern West Germany, the country is divided into States, similar to our division in America. Remsde is in the state known as Lower Saxony. The pictures in this chapter show you: 1) The picture of the little village 2) A composite of four buildings in the town 3) A picture of their very famous, ancient church 4) An aerial view of the home, just outside Remsede, of our earliest known relatives. The white portion of the building was the original home, and a portion in dark, has been added in the course of time. "Today the home is no longer in existence. All members of the first family were born and raised in this home. One of the most unique buildings in Remsede is the little parish church, under the patronage of St. Augustine. In 1935 they celebrated the eleven hundred the year of it counting. What makes it so unique is that is became an official pilgrimage chapel. It is quite authentic, that this altar was built back in the year 734. Many people from as far as Cologne made pilgrimages to this highly indulged chapel. Pictures show its earliest form with the tall, spire, but in recent years a new tower has been built, giving it a different look. The pictures of the village will give you some idea of the lovely, quiet Remsede, in which our early grandparents lived their early lives. Being nestled in this valley-like forest, away from the thoroughfare, it is easy to see that they loved its quiet and peaceful retreat. The Beginning of the Gottschalk Genealogy Since the parish of St. Anthony's at Remsed was a Pilgrimage Chapel over the centuries, all of the church records for both Remsed and Laer, Germany, were kept in the St. Mary's Parish Church records for both Remsede and Laer, Germany, about two and a half miles from Remsede. In these books, which date back three hundred years, the following is written by its pastor: "The oldest entries at Laer, with the family name of "Gottschalk" date back to the year 1794." The very first parents found in that area were: Anton Gottschalk and A. Catherina Leinker There is no record of where they came from, or who their forebearers were. They simply appeared suddenly, with the baptism of their son, Bernhard Heinrich Gottschalk Who is the ancestor of all the Gottschalk’s mentioned in this book. Whether or not they had other children is unknown.

Wilhelm Ludwig Gottschalk May 9, 1844 to Jul 22, 1877 HEINRICH CLEMENS AUGUST GOTTSCHALK was the eleventh child born of the union to Bernard and Anna Maria (Hagedown) Gottschalk, of Remsede, Germany. Of the five boys who survived birth and were married, August Gottschalk was the only one to remain in Germany. He inherited the home where the family was born and raised. He most likely had military service in the German army, and when he retired from that, he took up the trade of farmer, village official and father. In the earlier years after the brothers separated, there was some communication between August and those in the United States. Unfortunately it did not continue, so that the only information remaining to us in the United States was the fact that there were relatives in Germany. Fortunately, Father Timothy succeeded in making contact with them, and as a result we have the complete record of the first family in our genealogy.

We have a strong suspicion that he came alone, and that the other brothers followed later. Before leaving his home stead, his records tell of his freely enlisting in 1st K.D.R. (A German army regiment) of the Hannover Germany Government. This enlistment lasted from 1855 to 1856. Shortly thereafter, he set sails to America. Not too long after his marriage in Breese, Ill., he came to Pittsburg, Pa., where he finally made his permanent home, and raised a large family of 14 children. Unfortunately, so many of the children died in early age, or infancy. His msut have been a distressing life, since only five of the large family became of arraigeable age, and did marry. He did visit his brother George Henry in Schoenchen, Kansas once. They also correspeonded very much by mail and their letter were very lengthy and of a a very spiritual nature.

In the family record, kept in the Family Bible of Bernard Henry Gottschalk, the name Mary Regina Gottschalk does appear, born on the same date as that of Mary Regina Gottschalk. Anna Maria, however, died on October 1, 180, and Mary Regina lived a long married life. The Grandchildren of Mary Regina insist that she belongs to the family of Bernard Henry Gottschalk, but we cannot find her baptismal certificate. We have accepted the word of the grandchildren, and concluded that Anna Maria and Mary Regina Gottschalk were twins. 8. FAMILY OF JACOB CARL BONGARTZ FATHER: Jacob C.

WILLIAM FRANCIS GOTTSCHALK William Francis Gottschalk was just called “Frank.” He was the third of the large family of Bernard Henry Gottschalk to arrive at the marriageable age. The mortality in this family was very high, with only five of fourteen children reaching marriage age. Frank was a twin, though they never bore such a close resemblance to each other, and in personality, they were far different. His twin brother was called “Barney.” Frank was a quiet person and living in Pittsburg, Pa., he spent some time working in the Steel Plant of the United Engineering Co. How long he worked there is not certain, but at one time in his life, he took up painting houses and all that goes with it. He died at a comparatively early age, and it is said, he died of painter’s cholic. 9. FAMILY OF WILLIAM FRANICS GOTTSCHALK FATHER: William Francis (Frank W.)

As a result, he was financially a little more comfortable. His home was in Sharpsburg, Pa. He was quite a mechanic, and he is remembered as having an auto in the 1920’s, a Harry C. Stutz Special. Barney had a small family of three children. He was very sure of this own judgments. “This was due in large part from being a Mill foreman.

Norman Gottschalk Jun 25, 1966 123. Charles Gotschalk Aug 4, 1967 JOSEPH MICHAEL GOTTSCHALK Joseph Michael Gottschalk was just plain “Joe” around Lawrence, Pa., where he spent most of his life. He ended up living in the home of his Fathere, where he raised a family of ten children. There never was any fancy in his home, or in his life. He was a hard worker in the steel mills, employed 40 years in the Frank Keelang Plant of the United Engineering Co. They worked hard and were dirty and black, then came home and enjoyed a beer. That was their life. There was not much to distract from their life, except their children. He had a family of 10 children and he was close to them. One can guess how he understood them, or talked their language, when you heard the names he used to call them, instead of their Christian names. Here are some samples: “Tweedle,” “Bebble”, “Jinx”, and “Tump.” William Gottschalk "Willie" Gottschalk was what they called him in Schoenchen, KS. He was the third oldest of George Henry Gottschalk, and was born in Pittsburg, Pa., and was baptized in the St. Agnes Chruch; in West Mifflin, PA. He married Anna Munsch in 1900. Willie was always a farmer, and a ver good one. He farmed 5 miles south east of Schoenchen. He also owned a house in Schoenchen, as did many of his people there, for Sundays, and winters. He was a very exact and meticulous farmer, making his children cultivate and plow the fields "just so." He raised 13 children, which was more or less the custom, besides that it was economically sound, because a large family meant good help with the farm work. He, as did his brothers, sang on the choir, and joined in with the Sunday "good times." Willie was on the board of directors of the Farmers Coop in his day, and took a great interest in the community farming projects. 3.

Submitted by Jane Gottschalk Gottschalk, William and Rosa William Gottschalk was born March 19, 1897, in Schoenchen, Kansas. He was the second oldest of a family of nine children. His parents were Henry Gottschalk and Elizabeth (Werth). Willie, Bill "Digger Willie," as he was always called, was a strong and well-built man. He was seen lifting by himself one end of a header barger when younger brother Al was pinned under neath its weight; thereby probably saving Al's life. William served in the United States Armed Forces in World War I. He played a clarinet in the Army band. Rosa Stoecklein was born September 29, 1898, in Munjor, Kansas, the eighth child of Christof and Henena (Herklotz) Stoecklein. There were nine children in that family. Rosa Stoecklein, unlike Bill, was rather small and trim in structure. William and Rosa were married May , 1919, in Schoenchen. Their wedding was a memorable one lasting several days. After their marriage, they moved to a farm west of Schoenchen, where they farmed next to William's father, Henry Gottschalk. While living on the farm, the only three children, Lorine, Ray and Gerald were born. Ray and Lorine attended Riverside School until 1935, when they moved to Schoenchen into the home own William's mothers Elizabeth Gottschalk. At this time they were still farming and also started to do some commercial trucking while consisted of hauling cattle, sand and grain. In 1941 William purchased 160 acres of pasture located half mile east of Schoenchen, at this time, they started to milk some cows which were brought to Schoenchen every morning. The pasture was a half mile east of Schoechen. When she was 41, it was detected that Rosa has cancer, which caused her trouble for twelve years. She died on November 20, 1951, at the age of 53 years. Despite her illness she never spared herself from house cleaning. In 1949 William and Rosa built a liquor store which William operated with his son Ray and wife Leola's help. Their son Gerald died on March 5, 1975 at Schoenchen at the age of 43. William and Rosa was a very devout couple and spared nothing to build a beautiful family. Rosa was like all the Stoecklein girls, a very devout and religious mother. William helped with the choir and sang along with the recording of the songs by "The Schoencheneers," reminders of the songs they used to sing in the "Good old Days."

"Bill" Befort Scholarship fund at Fort Hays State University. Eight future teachers at FHSU will receive scholarships of $400. The Befort Scholarship is for students majoring in teacher education who show a financial need. Befort, who died in 2000, was one of 13 children from Hyacinth, KS, whose parents died young. The family was able to stay together with the older children raising the younger ones. All of the children finished eighth grade at a nearby school, but none could attend high school, since they could not afford the gas money to drive there. The children supported themselves with gardening, farm work and doing odd jobs for neighbors. Befort yearned to go to high school and college, but his circumstances made that impossible. Instead, Befort ran a custom cutting business, worked in oil fields, and eventually became a custodian at FHSU, a position he held for 16 years. Part of the attraction of the job, he once said, was "heating in the winter and air-conditioning in the summer," a substantial improvement over conditions in the oil field. Befort's sister, Jane Gottschalk of Hays, talked about her brother's desire to establish this scholarship: "Bill wanted to help students have the opportunity to have an education that our family never had." Through his estate, Befort has made his dream come true. The 2002-2003 academic year recipients are Laurenda Werth of Hays, Tamara Padfield of Nashville, KS, Jessica Stein of Eudora, Amadee Befort of Victoria, Brett Koster of Clay Center, Travis Nittler of Medicine Lodge, Brett Marrs of Hays and Nate Naasz of Beloit. Alois or Aloysius Steinbock and his wife, Elizabeth ( Geta ) Steinbock came to the USA from Germany about Nov. 1905. They brought with them a daughter, Barbara Steinbock who was born June 3, 1893 who was 11 years old and Henry Steinbock who was born: date unknown. There was another child born to them in Russia who died there. They settled in Wamega, Kansas as Alois was a railroader. On November 3, 1906, his wife, Elizabeth gave birth to Triplets: two boys and a girl. Their names were Adam, Susanna and Joseph. Alois's wife, Elizabeth died on November 16, 1906. Alois didn't have the means to care for the triplets and work, too, so he wanted them to be adopted by Catholic families. Susanna was adopted by: George and Barbara Prockish and the boys still hadn't been adopted. They were all baptized on November 5, 1906 at St. Bernards Church, Wamega, Kansas. Sponsors were: Adam Reichenborn, Mrs. George Gareis and Joseph Macht. Susanna got ill and died Feb. 28, 1907 at Wamega, Kans. Susanna and her Mother are buried on the same plot at the Wamega cemetery. NOTE: Aunt Jane Gottschalk looked up this information in 1995 and located the grave and put a tombstone there. I have certificates of births, Baptisms and newspaper articles of Elizabeth and Susanna on their death, and church records of the cemetery plots all obtained from Aunt Jane Gottschalk, Hays, Kansas Then in 1907, Alois, Barbara and Henry headed west and there's where he met and married Agatha Wasinger Werth on Jan. 15, 1909. Barbara would have been 15 years old at this time. It has been said that Barbara was doing housekeeping for the Bahl's, possibly her stepmother's sister Annie Bahl and, as the story goes, there was a Werth in Schoenchen who was a matchmaker and got John C. Befort and Barbara Steinbock to marry on October 24, 1911 making her 18 years old. NOTE; I don't have much on Henry Steinbock. I do know he and his wife, Mary, had two daughters and lived in Chicage, Ill. I have the original photos of Henry and Mary and another one of Henry, Mary and the two girls. I also have the large oval pictures of Barbara and John C. Befort on their wedding day and one of Henry Steinbock. I would like to find the members down from Henry if anyone can help me obtain this information. I was told he died in the 1960's. NOTE; Aunt Jane Gottschalk never could find where Alois Steinbock was buried or where the two boys were placed. I have two people working on the Aloysius Steinbock genealogy from the Topeka area as of this week. According to church records, he spelled his name Aloysius. Barbara Steinbock is my Grandma, And yes, the last name was spelled wrong in Mothers obituary, but I was over- ruled on that. I was disgusted when I found out the truth after the fact when I went through Mother's things and found some letters written to my Mother from Grace Steinbock. I didn't know her Uncle Joe and Aunt Grace, but when I came upon these letters, I sent Grace a letter and obituary advising her of Mothers death. Then one day, I got a call from Grace and we talked for an hour. I did get to meet her July 1, 2002, just a few weeks ago. This is where I got all these writings. Very interesting. Just wanting to let you read the enclosed article and wanted to point out that BARBARA STEINBOCK was not a triplet, BUT A SISTER TO THE THREE TRIPLETS. Barbara was born in Russia along with her brother, Henry and they came to America and about a year after Aloyius Steinbock and his wife Elizabeth Geta Steinbock came to America, she gave birth to Triplets, two boys and one girl. And their last name is spelled: STEINBOCK. I would like our family history to begin with my great grandparents. Conrad and Anna Margaretha (Kronnewitter) BEFORT, along with their TWO small children, Paula and Peter, emigrated from OBERMONJOUr, RUSSIA, situated along the Volga, north of Saratov. Leaving on SEPTEMBER 18, 1876, they arrived NOVEMBER 1, 1876. They landed in New York and immediately headed westwarDIED Conrad and Anna, along with other immigrants, settled in and founded what is now known as MUNJOR, Kansas. Upon their arrival (as this was open prairie) the first in order of things was to provide shelter. Their first home was built of sod cut from the prairie. After taking care of their immediate needs, and to survive the coming winter, the next most important thing was to build a place of worship. Their first church was built in 1877. They were strong in their Catholic faith, and their lives were centered on their religious training. Conrad and Anna were farmers and were active in their community and church. As the years passed, they eventually had a family of thirteen children. My grandfather, John C. BEFORT, was BORN in MUNJOR, FEBRUARY 18, 1890. He was the ninth child and youngest son. Conrad died AUGUST 12, 1914, survived by his wife and TEN children. Anna lived in her home in Hays, Kansas, for some years, and the remainder of her life with her son and daughter-in-law John and Barbara. John C. BEFORT, son of Conrad BEFORT and Anna Margaretha (Kronnawitter) BEFORT, was BORN on FEBRUARY 18, 1890. Barbara Steinbock, the daughter of Alois and Elizabeth Steinbeck, was a sister to triplets She was BORN on JUNE 3, 1893. On OCTOBER 24, 1911, they were MARRIED in MUNJOR, Kansas.

In the year of 1920, John and Barbara sold their farm and purchased half a section of land half a mile north of Hyacinth, Kansas. The home, barn and other buildings had been built about THREE years earlier. TEN other children were BORN to them the following years; Elizabeth, OCTOBER 19, 1920; Agnes, 7/8/1922; Jane 5/3/1924; John Jr. 9/18/1925, Ester, 8/31/1926; Bernice, 4/24/1928; Irene, 12/13/1929 twins Alois and Conrad, 10/30/1931 and Francis 10/6/1933. John Jr. and Elizabeth died as infants. Alex was a veteran of World War II in the U.S. Army and saw action in Germany and France. He died in 10/1951. He was survived by his wife, Rose (Steinlein) BEFORT, and infant daughter, Gloria. Irene died 8/16/1965, at age 35, survived by her husband, Leroy Wilson and small son, DaviDIED Conrad (twin son) died in 1947 at SEVENteen years of age. Francis died in a power line accident 8/22/1961. He was in the army from 1954-1955. He was age 27 when he passed away. He was survived by his wife Darlene (HAMMERSMITH) BEFORT and TWO small daughters, Rosemary, 4 and Margaret, twenty-THREE months olDIED John and Barbara worked long hours to provide for and rear their family. Barbara would begin her day at 4'oclock in the morning to do her baking, laundry, and help with outside morning chores, including milking cows and feeding animals. During harvest she was in the fields working along side the men. She was also a seamstress and made most of the children's clothing. Their children received their elementary education at Hyacinth in a ONE-room school, where all EIGHT grades were taught by ONE teacher. Simon GOETZ and Florence Ross were the teachers during those years. Their children walked to school most of the time as it was only about a mile away from home. However, other times, after a particularly heavy snow storm, the children looked forward to going to school in a ONE-horse open sleigh. John would bundle them up in a fur lap robe and don his buffalo fur coat and away they would go. They were members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, also located at Hyacinth, where their children received their sacraments and spiritual training. John died at 43 years of age on JUNE 30, 1933. Barbara died at 48 years of age on JULY 1, 1941. They were survived by thirteen of their children. Margaret Heart was born in Hays, Kansas on September 24, 1959 to Francis John Befort and Darlene Ann (Hammersmith) a farmer and oil field worker. Heart's endearing giggles and improvisational ability earned her the ability to have a positive outlook on life circumstances. Her character was a deeply joyful blond, never thought of a dumb blond. Heart values her independence, although she believes, "It's hard for any woman. Women run households, they raise children, and they have to be very, very tough. I always saw myself, mother-working, so "I never grew up thinking that a man would take care of me, ever."

Conrad and Anna Margaretha (Kronnewitter) Befort, along with their two small children, Paula and Peter, emigrated from Obermonjour, Russia, situated along the Volga, north of Saratov. Leaving on September 18, 1876, they arrived November 1, 1876. They landed in New York and immediately headed westward. Conrad and Anna, along with other immigrants, settled in and founded what is now known as Munjor, Kansas. Upon their arrival (as this was open prairie) the first in order of things was to provide shelter. Their first home was built of sod cut from the prairie. After taking care of their immediate needs, and to survive the coming winter, the next most important thing was to build a place of worship. Their first church was built in 1877. They were strong in their Catholic faith, and their lives were centered on their religious training. Conrad and Anna were farmers and were active in their community and church. As the years passed, they eventually had a family of thirteen children. My grandfather, John C. Befort, was born in Munjor, February 18, 1890. He was the ninth child and youngest son. Conrad died August 12, 1914, survived by his wife and ten children. Anna lived in her home in Hays, Kansas, for some years, and the remainder of her life with her son and daughter-in-law John and Barbara.

We knew we needed it, for the next two weeks were not very pleasant. These are the words spoken by Joseph M. Linenberger as he and his family, along with others was preparing to leave Europe for America in August of 1878. John Befort b. 18 Feb 1890 d. 30 Jun 1933 Hays, Kansas John C. Befort, son of Conrad Befort and Anna Margaretha (Kronnewitter) Befort, was born on February 18, 1890.

The home, barn and other buildings had been built about three years earlier. Ten other children were born to them the following years; Elizabeth, October 19, 1920; Agnes, 7/8/1922; Jane 5/3/1924; John Jr. 9/18/1925, Ester, 8/31/1926; Bernice, 4/24/1928; Irene, 12/13/1929 twins Alois and Conrad, 10/30/1931 and Francis 10/6/1933.

John and Barbara worked long hours to provide for and rear their family. Barbara would begin her day at 4'oclock in the morning to do her baking, laundry, and help with outside morning chores, including milking cows and feeding animals. During harvest she was in the fields working along side the men. She was also a seamstress and made most of the children's clothing. Their children received their elementary education at Hyacinth in a one-room school, where all eight grades were taught by one teacher. Simon Goetz and Florence Ross were the teachers during those years. Their children walked to school most of the time as it was only about a mile away from home. However, other times, after a particularly heavy snow storm, the children looked forward to going to school in a one-horse open sleigh. John would bundle them up in a fur lap robe and don his buffalo fur coat and away they would go. They were members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, also located at Hyacinth, where their children received their sacraments and spiritual training. John died at 43 years of age on June 30, 1933. Barbara died at 48 years of age on July 1, 1941. They were survived by thirteen of their children.

Nineteen years later on August 8, 1878, one of the largest transports of German-Russian emigrants left Herzog, Russia, for America under the leadership of Joseph. Included in this transport was his wife, Margaret and their seven children. Joseph and family came to Ellis County, Kansa, and settled at Victoria until he had bought a farm where they made their next home. The Linenberger land, purchased at $1.25 per acre, was one mile ast and a half mile north of Victoria. Here Joseph struggled with the elements of the soil as a farmer. In his spare time he was busy with he carpenter tools making various household furnishings, his specialty being closet chests. Inevery event of a death, Joeph as a carpenter was asked to make the coffins for the settlers at Victoria, and its vicinity. In 1899 Mrgaret, Joepsh's wife died leaving him and ten children. Three of their children were married, Herman the youngest was three years old. In 1898, a son Peter having taken over the farm, Joseph moved to Victoria with his three youngest children. After all the children were married, Joseph retired and lived with his son Herman and family. In appearance Joseph was tall and robust. He enjoyed good health all of his life. When he was young he lost an eye which was pierced by a pitch fork . This did not hinder him from making a living for his family or from working on his various hobbies, such as woodworking, reading or writing. Joseph attended the schools of the times, but most of his education was self-taught. He read everything he could get his hands on. His handwriting was beautiful and legible. While in retirement he wrote his book. the book relates the hardships and joys of the Germans who migrated to Russia. It tells of the attacks by the Kirghiz and their capture of his grandfather, Hanjoerg Linenberger. It gives an account of this transport from Russia to America and arrival in victoria, Kansas. Still verty active and with desire to see his birthplace, Herzog, Russia, Joseph and John Pfeifer left Victoria on May 4, 1910, for a tour of Europe. In Herzog, Russia, he visited his siter, Maria Eva Rome, his nieces and nephews and many old friends and acquaintances. After a visit of four months they retuned to America on September 8, 1910. Having fulfilled his life ambitions, he was willing to die. Six months after Joseph's return from Europe, Anna Maria, Herman's wife, died. A short time later on the eve of Ash Wednesday Joseph's fatal illness began a nd as Herman was unable to care of him,they moved him toa home of Herman's brother, Peter.

She was born July 04, 1907 in Liebenthal, Rush County, Kansas, and died November 16, 1988 in Great Bend, Barton County, Kansas. Notes For Alexander Leiker: Alex had a severely damaged heart with leakage of the valves causing the heart to enlarge to double its normal size. He had rhemumatic fever at the age of 14. Alex worked as a farmer, carpenter, and a sheet metal man. He was a quality carpenter as he was quiet, patient and artculate in whatever he started. The way he taught his sons how to saw wood reflected his approach to life and people in general. He said that you let the saw ride without effort and never force it. He related that if one forces something, it just gets much harder to accomplish. He did not have taste for discipling his children and would rarely become irritated or angry. When he had to discipline he did it only half-hearted. It was obvious that he had his Mother's compassion and patience.The year prior to his death, he built a new home for the family and did all the finished carpentry work himself. He had to rest for extended periods of time but then would procede to work again. After Christmas he developed psnumonia and died January 3, 1953 of a combination of pneumonia, congestive heart failure and lung cancer. More about Alexander Leiker: Burial: January 10, 1953, Liebenthal, Kansas Cause of death: Congestive Heart Failure damaged by Rheumatic Fever at age 14.Medical Information: Developed Lung Cancer shortly before his death. He was a smoker of cigarettes. Notes for Christina Enslinger: Christina was a farmer, creamery and feed stor operator, an avid gardener, ironed clothes for a living and her last employment was as a housekeepr for St. Anthony's Hospital until she retired.Her husband was an invalid due to a severe heart condition and so she primarily had to be the provider and care giver. She was only 4' 10" tall and was called "Christinya." She had ten children of which the first was still-born after a very difficult birth. She almost single-handed raised nine children, made sure they all went to High school and they never went hungry. She made sure they had proper clothing even if she had to sew most of the items herself. They were never without proper shelter or medical care. She routinely would betcher 50 chickens, with the assistance of the children, in one day and would sell them to a local hospital. Her garden was large with a wide assortment of vegetables and for many yers grew three acres of potatoes. She canned anything not consumed immediately including beef and pork. A typical Saturday meant baking a dozen pies. Bread was baked at least every day. She baked many wedding cakes. On Mondays she washed and it was no uncommon for her to wash as many as twenty loads plus loads of wash and iron up to forty shirts since she had six sons and a husband. Until 1952 she cooked on a kerosene stove, had no refrigerator, and used a gas iron to iron clothing. Her washing machine was a gas powered machine.More about Christina Enslinger:Burial: November 1988, Buried in St. Joseph Cem. in Liebenthal, Kansas.

She was born July 04, 1907 in Liebenthal, Rush County, Kansas, and died November 16, 1988 in Great Bend, Barton County, Kansas.Notes For Alexander Leiker:Alex had a severely damaged heart with leakage of the valves causing the heart to enlarge to double its normal size. He had rhemumatic fever at the age of 14. Alex worked as a farmer, carpenter, and a sheet metal man. He was a quality carpenter as he was quiet, patient and artculate in whatever he started. The way he taught his sons how to saw wood reflected his approach to life and people in general. He said that you let the saw ride without effort and never force it. He related that if one forces something, it just gets much harder to accomplish. He did not have taste for discipling his children and would rarely become irritated or angry. When he had to discipline he did it only half-hearted. It was obvious that he had his Mother's compassion and patience.The year prior to his death, he built a new home for the family and did all the finished carpentry work himself. He had to rest for extended periods of time but then would procede to work again. After Christmas he developed psnumonia and died January 3, 1953 of a combination of pneumonia, congestive heart failure and lung cancer.More about Alexander Leiker:Burial: January 10, 1953, Liebenthal, KansasCause of death: Congestive Heart Failure damaged by Rheumatic Fever at age 14.Medical Information: Developed Lung Cancer shortly before his death. He was a smoker of cigarettes.Notes for Christina Enslinger:Christina was a farmer, creamery and feed stor operator, an avid gardener, ironed clothes for a living and her last employment was as a housekeepr for St. Anthony's Hospital until she retired.Her husband was an invalid due to a severe heart condition and so she primarily had to be the provider and care giver. She was only 4' 10" tall and was called "Christinya." She had ten children of which the first was still-born after a very difficult birth. She almost single-handed raised nine children, made sure they all went to High school and they never went hungry. She made sure they had proper clothing even if she had to sew most of the items herself. They were never without proper shelter or medical care. She routinely would betcher 50 chickens, with the assistance of the children, in one day and would sell them to a local hospital. Her garden was large with a wide assortment of vegetables and for many yers grew three acres of potatoes. She canned anything not consumed immediately including beef and pork. A typical Saturday meant baking a dozen pies. Bread was baked at least every day. She baked many wedding cakes. On Mondays she washed and it was no uncommon for her to wash as many as twenty loads plus loads of wash and iron up to forty shirts since she had six sons and a husband. Until 1952 she cooked on a kerosene stove, had no refrigerator, and used a gas iron to iron clothing. Her washing machine was a gas powered machine.More about Christina Enslinger:Burial: November 1988, Buried in St. Joseph Cem. in Liebenthal, Kansas.Cause of death: CHFMedical Information: Developed dementia a few years prior to death, probably caused by TIAs causing O.B.S.Jane Francis Befort was born May 03, 1924 in Hyacinth, Ellis County, Kansas.

I'm not sure which individual Kisner family you are looking for but there are plenty to look for including,they have old directories or phone books with the names in them from early times.The gentleman who works in that room with the microfilm told me when you look in the directories or old phone books sometimes,you just about know the date to look for their death because then the names are not listed in the following year. Unless the spouse kept the name for use in the books.The Colson Library is stocked with information.If you do not know the year of the death it might be best to look in the county courthouse in Kingwood West Virginia for early births,deaths,marriages,divorces,and adoption that is if you think they might have been from that area.I did find a lot of information although I still need to find out about who my 87 year old grandmothers neices and nephews are.My grandmother has never met them.I have not been able to get to the courthouse in Kingwood yet.I am someday going to go there and search.I am searching for the family of Melvin Kisner who was once married to Rachel Elizabeth Menear. She was born in 1874 in Preston County West Virginia. They were married in Maryland but I think they later moved back to W.Va.Tey had 1 child together and my grandma called him Mendell. Mendell use to visit and stay with my grandma back in 1930s or 1940s,he spoke about Fairmont and Grafton West Virginia. They later lost contact so, we do not know when he died, where he died. They spoke of Mendell as being a stalky built man and very well groomed. Could be Mendell was his midddle name or just what some called him by name.We do know his fathers name was Melvin or so that is what he was called.If someone is in the courthouse of KingwoodWest Virginia and happen to run across this information in the death records would someone please let me know. I've been doing research for several years but i am going to do the best I can to find his death or obituary. Even a date as to when he died would give me a clue. Once again his birth mothers name was Rachel Elizabeth Menear. Father was Melvin Kisner.Thank you all for reading taking time to read this and if I can be of any help to anybody please respond and I will answer any questions. Thanks again!

His parents were Anton Schumacher and Pauline (Ruder). John's father moved to Victoria, and had a General Merchandise store there in Victoria. He seemed to do well. John showed great interest in the business, so his father sent him to Salina, Kansas, to attend a business school there, so as to be able to run the affairs of the store. John married Anna Margaret Stoecklein on Nov, 22, 1904 in Victoria, KS. Business must have been good, because John'f father opened another store in Ellis, KS which JOhn was destined to manage. This he did with great energy and dedication. John was business and Anna Margaret took care of the family. The twoa first children, of the five were born in Victoria. Those who visted at the Schumacher home, were always met with a family that was enthusiastic and the welcome was warm and cordial. It was a real tragdy when John contacted a serious illness, and before tood long, died, leving the mother the chore of raising the five children. Anna Margaret, or "Ammagrate" as she was usually called, was the mother of this small and unfulfilled family. She was born in Munjor, KS, February 21, 1886. She was, as were many of the girls of the Stoecklein family, very calm, and quiet, but a very good mother. When her husband John died, she immedicately inherited a bundle of responsibility. There were now five children, the last girl, Lietta, being born only three months after her father's death. How to finance a family of five children, was a real problem. The grandmother, Mrs. Pauline Schumacher was a fair Godmother to this family. She took care of the furnishing of the clothing of the children and also many other sundry needs of the children. Added to that, Anna Margaret inherited 320 acres of land out near Ogalla, Kansas, from her grandfather Schumacher. This helped to keep body and soul together. Additonal income was on hand through Anna Margaret's daily work as seamstress, which she built up into a business, but which was conducted from her home. She did not live far from the church, so when the priests needed someone who could cook for them, Anna Margaret was always glad to oblige. The priests paid may evening social calls on her to encourage her in her big task. The children wre in all agreement about their mother's character: She was extremely kind and never had an enemy. She was msot generous with her help and work. She died at the age of 87 years, after a completed full life. 1. Anton Stoeckklein # 1 deceased 2. Anna Stoeckllein m. John P.

Joseph Urban Character study on Christof & Helen Stoecklein The thoughts and recollections of them come to us through their youngest daughter, who at this writing was still living in Hays, Kansas. She is Catherine Zimmerman (Stoecklein). Both her parents, Christof and Helen came over to America on the same steam boat "SUEVIA" which landed in New York on August 3, 1876. With the help of guides amd contacts there, they traveled westward, until they eventually landed in Victoria, KS. With this famous father, Peter Stoecklein, who was one of the five scouts to America from Russia before this trip took place, Christof and the Peter Stoecklein family finally moved to Munjor, Kansas. Christof was 17 years old at the time they came to America. There were six children living, as they landed and Christof was the third oldest living, but the fourth oldest born, since the oldest daughter Anna died on the voyage, and had to be buried at sea. The first job was to find work, and to. raise money. Christof and his three brothers go some work on the United Pacific Rail4road. His father, Peter Stoecklein, obtained a Homestead certificate # 991 in Wakeny, Kansas on August 1, 1883. He got 80 acres of land, seven miles south of Hays, KS. CHristof also got a Homestead Certificate #2854, adjacent to his fathers land, on August 7, 1888. He married Helena Herklotz on January 26, 1880, in Munjor, Kansas. With the Homestead Certificate,, he obtained 180 acres of land right adjecent to his father, Peter Stoecklein. He farmed this land, as well as some plots of land near by, until his son Alexander went into the army for World War I. He then moved to Munjor, where he had a small home, and lived in their small Munjor home for the remainder of his life. He was always very quiet and never got overly excited. He bore his burden of poverty graciously and his family honored him for it. He had cancer, and was sick quite a number of years. He died Dec. 2, 1936, at the age of 76 years. He was married 56 years and reared their nine childrren. She was commonly called by the endearing name of "Lehnya". Her parents were Gottfried Herklotz and Mary Catherine Boos. When the people were making ready to leave Russia for America, Helena desperately want to come along to America with her brrother Carl Anton. Carl gave his parents a solemn promise, that he personally would take care of "Little Lehnya." So, with that assurance, she came along. According to church records, she was born in "Paninskojje", or Schoenchen Russia, on March 2, 1859. She came on the same boat as Christof. When Helena's group went Westward, they first land in Leibenthal, and from there to Schoenchen, KS. Helena was by nature a kind girl and one who always helped others. She was happiest when she could do someone a favor. This story tells something about her spirit of congeniality. "She spent most of heer life on her feet." This happened on the earliest times in Ellis County, The family needed jobs and money desperately. Her brother Carl told herr that there were jobs in Salina, Kansas. "How do were eget there?" Henea asked. "we walk there" was the answer. So they set our toward Salina, Kansass via the railroad tracks. When they finallyy got there, Helena's legs and feet were terribly sore and swollen. They took off their shoes but they couldn't get them back on again. So, Helena sat around the track, while her brother went to llok for jobss. Luckily, after some time, he did return, with jobs for both of them. So they worked in Salina for a time. Christof and. Helen were married in Munjor and started their life of their own. THis started a long fifty six years of married life foor them on the farm, which was situated seven miles south of Hays, KS. Here she spent many years with busy hands and busy feet. She always had a nice garden on that farm.. She grew many vegetables. One time she had an exceptionallly large watermelon. She took this melon and toted it on foot, to Hays and sold it. With the money she brought back several shirts for Christof and his younger brother and a few other little things. She was very tiredd, but when she was the happy faces on the men who got the shirts, she forgot her pains and was just as happy as they wre. It was harder to tell who was happier, the recipient or the giver. Schooling was not open to all the children. The younger ones got to go, but not so the older ones, since they were needed on the farm. After they moved down to Munjor, he did practically no work. His health was failing. It was common sight to see him on the porch, rocking himself and smoking his pipe, while she kept raising around and in and out of the house. He finally died of cancer, and following this, she would stay with the chidlren of her family, spending some time with all of them. She spent most of her years in Hays, where she died at the age of 92 years. All in Hays neighborhood where she stayed, knew her and loved her. She nver wore a hat in her life. She always wore dark clothes and a kerchieef over her head called a "Babushka." After she died, the people missed that familiar figure, dresed in dark, walking to church, with the quick rapid steps.

Wallace, Clk D Co B PREFACE TO THE LINENBERGER GENEALOGY The purpose in establishing a record of the Linenberger family is to revive the history of our forebears who migrated from Germany to Russia and thence to America. This compilation of historical material includes: Dates of births, marriages, and deaths of the older members together with a genealogical record of all generations from 1765 to the present time. In addition, some mention is made of their spiritual, financial, and educational advancements. This compilation has been carried on for nearly four years, during which the authors have extended every effort to collect data and material to make accurate record possible. In the pursuance of this research, a great deal of time, work, and money was spent in order to gather the required information. To contact the numerous families, there was a constant stream of correspondence and telephone calls. Also, in connection with this work, there were frequent trips to libraries, rectories, and cemeteries. Extensive research regarding the family line was being done in Germany; while also work was being done in exchange for information with the genealogical library at Salt Lake City, Utah. It is the sincere wish of the authors that this book, which has been written in memory of the persistent struggle and hardships of our ancestors, will find a place in every home of the Linenberger descendants; and that they regard it with esteem to their predecessors. The purpose of the Linenberger Genealogy is to establish a record for posterity. To the author's knowledge, there was only ne Linenberger family, which migrated from Germany to Russia during the period 1766-68. It was the family of Joseph Linenberger, which located in Mariental, on the east side of the Volga River. Joseph was a carpenter and contractor by trade. But the Linenbergers, like the Germans who settled in the Volga region, were poor, and, to help make a living, established a Kavak (tavern). They also raised sheep and swine. The Linenbergers had only one child, Hanjoerg. At the age of none years, while herding sheep and swine, Hanjoerg was take prisoner during one of the raids by Kirghiz from the East. After living with them for eleven years, he escaped and returned to the home of his parents at Mariental. Hanjoerg marred Margaret Fisher. At the time of his marriage, he was about thirty years old. Five children were born to Hanjoerg and Margaret--two sons and three daughters. Only descendants of the two sons came to America. The authors were unable to secure a record of the three daughters. Hanjoerg's oldest son, Melchoir, married twice. His first marriage was to Katherine (Kattel) and Maria Eva. There was a record of the marriages of these three children, but only descendants of Johannes came to America. One daughter of Johannes Linenberger and Maria Younger, Anna, came to America and married John Knoll. Melchoir married a second time--this time to Katherine Margaret Klipphahn Schreiner von Riedel Salzman. It was her fourth marriage. To Melchoir and Katharine Margaret, six children were born. Five of these and their families came to America. Katharine (a daughter) married Nickolaus Schmamme and remained in Russia. However, Katherine's son, Gottfried, came to America with his family. Katharine Margaret, before her union with Melchoir Linenberger, had married and had lost, through death, three husbands. The first of these was Peter Schreiner. She had only one son by him. His name was Joseph. Joseph was married three times. There is a record of the marriages, but only Andreas, the son of Joseph Schreiner and Maria Schnell (his second marriage), came to America. The other descendants remained in Russia. Katharine Margaret Klipphahn Schreiner then married Mathaeus von Riedel. It was the second marriage for both. They had one son, Johannes. Two of Johannes Riedel and Anna Richmeier's children and families and descendants of two others came to America. Katharine Margaret Klipphahn Schreiner von Reidel next married Johannes Salzman. One child lived to marry Johannes Goetz. Three children of Johannes Goetz and Margaret Salzman and descendants of a fourth one came to America. John Michael Linenberger, second son of Hanjoerg, also married and had three sons. There is no record of daughters of this marriage, but Peter, a son of John Michael, married Margaret Legleiter and came to America with their son, John Michael. Later another son, Alex, was born in America. The first Linenbergers who came to America were the fourth and fifth generation descendants of the Joseph Linenberger who came to America, some going into the eighth and ninth generations. The Linenbergers in America had correspondence with their relatives in Russia for many years, but, unfortunately, the connection was broken and the tracing of the family line in Russia was made impossible on account of the Red Russian revolution after World War I, the destruction of churches and records, the repatriation of the Germans from the Volga region to Asiatic Russia during the siege of Stalin grad in World War II, and the Iron Curtain since the war. The authors were fortunate in being able to get most of the dates and the history from the time of the migration to Russia up to and including the migration to America. It was more difficult to obtain dates for later generations, and for that reason space has been provided in this book where each family may keep its own record. It is the sincere hope of the authors that family pride will prompt each Linenberger descendant to expand this genealogy, and to keep a complete record of succeeding generations. And, who knows, but some future Linenberger will see fit to establish Linenberger archives to house the complete tree and other records to this tribe of stalwarts whose past reflects sacrifice, ability and stamina worthy of emulation by anyone who bears this honored family name. Joseph Linenberger, son of Melchoir Linenberger and Katherine Margaret Klipphahn Schreiner Von Riedel Salzman, was born November 22, 1838, in Herzog, Russia. In 1857 he married Katherine Younger, born in 1840, in Herzog, Russia. Katherine died in 1857 after the birth of a son, Andrew. In 1859 Joseph married Margaret Schamme. Nineteen years later on August 8, 1878, one of the largest transports of German-Russian emigrants left Herzog, Russia, for America under the leadership of Joseph. Included in this transport were his wife, Margaret and their seven children. Joseph and family came to Ellis County, Kansa, and settled at Victoria until he had bought a farm where they made their next home. The Linenberger land, purchased at $1.25 per acre, was one mile ast and a half mile north of Victoria. Here Joseph struggled with the elements of the soil as a farmer. In his spare time he was busy with he carpenter tools making various household furnishings, his specialty being closet chests. In every event of a death, Joseph as a carpenter was asked to make the coffins for the settlers at Victoria, and its vicinity. In 1899 Margaret, Joseph’s wife died leaving him and ten children. Three of their children were married; Herman the youngest was three years old. In 1898, a son Peter having taken over the farm, Joseph moved to Victoria with his three youngest children. After all the children were married, Joseph retired and lived with his son Herman and family. In appearance Joseph was tall and robust. He enjoyed good health all of his life. When he was young he lost an eye, which was pierced by a pitchfork. This did not hinder him from making a living for his family or from working on his various hobbies, such as woodworking, reading or writing. Joseph attended the schools of the times, but most of his education was self-taught. He read everything he could get his hands on. His handwriting was beautiful and legible. While in retirement he wrote his book. The book relates the hardships and joys of the Germans who migrated to Russia. It tells of the attacks by the Kirghiz and their capture of his grandfather, Hanjoerg Linenberger. It gives an account of this transport from Russia to America and arrival in Victoria, Kansas. Still very active and with desire to see his birthplace, Herzog, Russia, Joseph and John Pfeifer left Victoria on May 4, 1910, for a tour of Europe. In Herzog, Russia, he visited his sitter, Maria Eva Rome, his nieces and nephews and many old friends and acquaintances. After a visit of four months they retuned to America on September 8, 1910. Having fulfilled his life ambitions, he was willing to die. Six months after Joseph's return from Europe, Anna Maria, Herman's wife, died. A short time later on the eve of Ash Wednesday Joseph's fatal illness began an nd, as Herman was unable to care of him, they moved him to home of Herman's brother, Peter. He died on April 19, 1911, at the age of seventy-two and a half years.
