Subject: Myers/Meyer Pattison Landgraf families
I am looking for
information on my great great grandmother, Magdalena
Graff Myers/Meyer. I believe that Magdalena was born in Grafenreuth,
Bavaria and came to Jefferson County in 1844 with her three daughters: Catherine who married John H. Landgraf in September 1844; Magdalena (Lenora) who married
Alonzo Pattison and Anna Magdalena (Martha Margaret)
who married John Adam Wandel and moved to Michigan in
approximately 1861.
I can find nothing on
Magdalena and her daughters until I find them on the 1850 Census. Lenora was
living in the home of Alvina Carpenter, Catherine was
married and I can find nothing on Martha Margaret or her mother Magdalena. By
1860 Lenora was married to Alonzo and had one son; Catherine was married to
John and had children and Martha Margaret was listed twice: once living next
door to Catherine and John Landgraf with her daughter
Frances and again visiting (?) in the home of Catherine and Alonzo with her
year old daughter, Clara. It is at this point Clara disappears and I was
wondering if anyone can give me some information on any members of this family
or where I might go to try to find information on them.
They seem to be hidden behind
this very tall brick wall and I just can't seem to see over the top of it. The only other bit of information I have been
able to pick up is that Nicolas Meyer was the husband of Magdalena, but we do
not know if he died in Germany or if he had preceded Magdalena to Wisconsin or
if he died at sea on the trip over to the United States....then again, maybe
Magdalena was widowed before she came to Wisconsin. I am hoping that someone
will be able to help me find out something more about this family.
Any help will be greatly
appreciated!

Hello,
I am trying to help a good friend find the burial place of her grandfather, Godfried HOFER. My friend is 85, lives in central WI, and is not online. She is the kindest soul and I would very much like to help her solve this family mystery that she has carried all her life.
Godfried HOFER
was born
Four more
children were born to the Hofers: Dorothy, John A., Godfried Jr., and Ida. Godfried
and Ida were the last set of twins born in 1888 at Columbus, WI. The Godfried Hofer family moved to Wood County, WI, by
1900 where they appear on the census. By 1913 Godfried left the family, asking his wife for a
divorce. It is thought he is buried in the St. Paul, MN, area. He
was never heard from again after he left his wife. Godfried
was a baker in Switzerland. It was said he left the family often before
the divorce, seeking work in larger cities. I cannot locate him on the
1910 census anywhere, nor the 1920 or 30.
Godfried
Hofer had a sister, Elizabeth (Hofer) CHRISTAIN, also
born in Switzerland. She married Jacob CHRISTIAN prior to
1862. Elizabeth Hofer Christian died in 1908 (month unknown) and I would
like to obtain an obituary of her that might list her surviving brother, Godfried and his possible whereabouts at that time.
Elizabeth and husband, Jacob Christian, had at least 3 children born in
Waterloo, WI: Emma, b. 1862; Mina, b. 1866; and Ida ,
b. 1869 and I believe Elizabeth died near Waterloo, WI. I would also like
to correspond with anyone researching the Hofer/Christian surnames to provide
clues to the demise of Godfried Hofer.
Thank you
for your time // A member of your wonderful society // Kay Scholtz

Subject: Rev. Gottlieb Klugel's Church Records
I am trying to find the location of Gottlieb Klugel's church records. Gottlieb was a preacher of the Lutheran
Church and he was the second Lutheran preacher in the state of Wisconsin. He moved to Chester Township, Dodge County
between 1870 and 1873. He died at his
home in Waupun on
Background:
Gottlieb Klugel
(umlaut above the 'u') was born in Paitzdorf, Duchy of Saxe-Gortha-Altenburg about January 1804. He is the son of Goerg
and Eva Rosina Klugel. As a young man, he went to study theology in
Dresden under Rev. Martin Stephan. The
Saxon Lutherans decided to emigrate in order to pursue religious freedom. In 1838 the Saxon Lutherans set sail for
America aboard five ships. They departed
from Bremen in November of 1838 and arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana between
The Saxon Lutherans continued up the
Mississippi River to Missouri. There
they purchased land in Perry County and began to form their communities. Rev. Stephan was made bishop of these
Lutherans but within 6 months of their arrival he was banished from the group
due to moral improprieties. The group
suffered many hardships the first couple years.
Later in 1839 another group of Lutheran,
sometimes called "Old
Lutherans", from Pommern, Silisia, Saxony and other areas decided to emigrate in order to pursue their form of
Lutheranism which was banned by the current king of Prussia. This group of Lutheran arrived in New York
between September and October of 1839.
They continues up the Hudson River and then
along the Erie canal until they reached Buffalo, NY. Here the majority of them began their new
lives. However, a small group of about 40 families continued on to Wisconsin
where the majority became farmers and formed the community that was to be known
as Freistadt.
Some of these immigrants remained in Milwaukee. These "Old Lutherans" considered
themselves as one congregation. This
group did not have a pastor and for the first two years, the elders in the
congregation preached the sermons and performed the services (baptisms,
weddings, etc.).
Finally, in September of 1841 Pastor Krause
came to Milwaukee and
tended to the congregation (both in Freistadt
and Milwaukee). However, there were
difficulties from the start and some of the congregation was dissatisfied with
Krause.
Sometime in 1842 or early 1843 Gottlieb Klugel came to Milwaukee.
In a
letter dated
There are some records that indicate Gottlieb Klugel had a number of preaching stations in the area.
There are baptism records from a church by the name of "German Evangelical
Lutheran Church of Mequon" where the names of Gottlieb and/or his wife
appear. This church was east of the
Milwaukee River and appears to have been in existence from about 1841 until
1860. Another source indicates Klugel may have preached at a public school in Germantown
for a period of time. There are at least
77 marriage certificates on file in Milwaukee County and there are at least 4
marriage certificates on file in Dodge County for weddings that were performed
by Gottlieb Klugel.
Numerous people have looked in Milwaukee for
his church records and no one has been able to find them. It is my contention that he brought his
records with him when he moved to Dodge County.
I have checked with a number of Lutheran
Churches in northern Dodge County and no one was familiar with the name
Gottlieb Klugel, or their earliest records dated from
after Gottlieb's death.
Klugel-Grebel Genealogy
Gottlieb Klugel
(also spelled Kluegel) married Johanna Friederick Caroline Amelia Grebel
on
1) Benjamin Klugel b.
Feb 1850, Milwaukee - d. 1918, Waupun.
He married Mathilde Boose
05 Nov 1882 at Gottlieb Klugel's House, Chester
Township, Dodge County [They were married by Gottlieb Klugel]. They had two children: Agatha Klugel who married Frank Trowbridge and Luella Klugel who married Arthur/Archie Helgeson. Luella did not have any children. Agatha had three
girls; Joice married a Zoellner
(children unknown) - Valma married a Quick (I spoke
to a descendant of this branch and they have no knowledge of the church
records) - Bernice who also married a Quick (Bernice had two girls).
2)
Marie Magdalena Klugel b. about. 1852,
Milwaukee - d. ?.
She married
Daniel Hahm or Hahn
Milwaukee, survives."). No other information on this branch has been
found.
3)
Martha M. Klugel b.
4)
Johanna Klugel b. abt
1858, Milwaukee - d. ?. She married Charles Beichl 07
Nov 1882 in public church meeting, Cherster Township,
Dodge County [They were married by
Gottlieb Klugel].
They had one child. George Carl Beichl married Louise C. ? (one child: Bruce
George Beichl, marriage unknown).
Now, there is also a possibility that the
records were passed down
through the Grebel branch of the
family. Gottlieb's wife, Caroline, had a
brother and a sister who also moved to Dodge County. The 1880 federal census show
Gottlieb and his family living next door to Herman Grebel
and his family. Herman is Caroline's sister.
The Grebel family is as follows:
A) Theadore Wilhelm Herman Grebel b.
(children
unknown). It appears the family lived in
Chester Township, Dodge County since 1850 as one source indicates August F. was
born July 1850 in Chester Township.
B) Mathilde Grebel b. about 1825,
Saxony - d. ?.
She married Wilhelm
Boose b. about 1820, Bavaria - d.
Any help in locating Rev. Gottlieb Klugel's church records is greatly appreciated. Please contact me if you have any
information.
