Notes:
Private forester in Neu-Laskowitz (Nowe Laskowice), Jaszcz (Jaszcz), and Jeszewo (Jeżewo), Kreis Schwetz (Świecie). He came to the US with wife and five children aboard the S.S. Australia, departing 8 June 1881 from Hamburg and arriving 27 June 1881 in New York. They traveled in the company of Herman, Ottilie (his wife), Otto (their infant son), and Hans Krüger (brother of Herman). Their last place of residence is listed as Borce (Borzec or Borce), Preußen. They arrived at Pilger, Nebraska on 3 July (LYONSMS) or 31 July (WHIS, WCEM) 1881. They stopped briefly at Pilger, then farmed near Winside starting in the fall of 1881, living initially in a sod house. The farm was on the NE 1/4 of Section 18, township 25 (Hancock), range 2, Wayne County, Nebraska, or 2 miles south and 3 miles west of Winside. (This land is now in the Vahle and Jaeger families in 1998.) On 12 November 1889 he obtained a homestead of 160 acres in the northeast quarter of section 18 northwest of Hoskins. He was a charter member of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Winside Nebraska (organized 1890, edifice built 1891). He never learned English. In 1896 he bought from Carl Kipke and sold to Lena Kipke the north 1/2 of section 28 and east 1/2 of section 34, township 25 (Hancock), range 2. In 1900 he had a hired hand boarding on the farm, Charles Nurnberg. He retired to his home at 408 Miner Street, Winside before his death of heart failure. His body was found in a shed.
