Carl Feucht was born April 10, 1881 in Wurttenberg, Germany. At the age of 14, he and his sister came to America because of better living conditions and no military service for young men.

Carl worked as a hired man in the Elgin, Illinois area. On September 22, 1904, he married Emma Marie Knobloch. Later that year, he moved to Stark, Illinois. He farmed for about a year and a half and on August 4, 1905, their first son, Ernst, was born.

In the spring of 1906, they moved to Iowa and rented a farm 3 miles south and a ½ mile west of Lester. Ben was born February 8, 1907, and due to complications from his childbirth, Emma passed away on February 15, 1907.

Carl remarried February 18, 1908, to Emmaâ€â„¢s sister Pauline. A third son, Emil, was born on November 4, 1908. At this time he decided to homestead here and purchased 160 acres of prairie land 1 mile west and 1 3/4 miles south of Lester. He hired Theodore Goldsmith to build their home and farm buildings. Mr. Goldsmith lived with Carl and Pauline during the week and was a skilled carpenter as the barn frame was built with wooden pegs. The barn was destroyed by a fire on September 16, 1988. Carl hauled some of the lumber with team and wagon from Lou Chamberlain Lumber of Lester.

By 1937 Carl owned and farmed a section of land. Over the years, they had horses, a few dairy cows, hogs, cattle, ducks, geese and chickens. Many times the chickens were dressed and sold in Sioux Falls to various eating places and sold to meat markets. The family butchered all of their own meat and this tradition is still carried on by some of the Feucht family. Carl enjoyed buying and selling horses to neighbors and horse buyers for use in the infantry during World War I.

Some of the things they did in the area were custom corn shelling, threshing, witching for water and doing errands for others when Carl went to Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Pauline enjoyed gardening, flowers and baking. Her favorites were breads and apple kuchen. For relaxation she did crocheting and other handwork.

On 22 March 2020 during the Covid-19 outbreak, Shirlee DeHaan recounts this about John's death:

March 1919, this man-John DeHaan-became a victim of the Flu of 1918 (Spanish flu). He left behind his wife and two young sons, ages 3 and 4.5 years. He was the grandfather we never knew...He was recovering and went out to do chores; relapsed, caught pneumonia and died. Grandma would talk to mom when they were alone. She never talked about him to us kids or in front of grandpa Ben.

John married Mabel Adelia Schlotfeldt on 14 Jan 1914 in George, Lyon County, IA. Mabel (daughter of Henry Hans Schlotfeldt and Gesina M. Scherff) was born on 4 Nov 1894; died on 12 Jun 1970. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Born in Bern, KS

Moser and Grimm often appear as â€Å“Huguenotâ€Â names: French Protestants @ 16th-17th century. These tended to come from south and southwest France. (thanks Cousin M. Houck for the further info). The Moser name means â€Å“Meadow Dwellerâ€ÂÃ¢€Â¦farmer. There is a medieval coat of arms somewhere. Moser is the traditional spelling, with a lot of variationsâ€Â¦Musser, Mosier, Mosser. Going WAY back, the Mosers are probably descended from â€Å“â€Â¦German Teutonic tribes that overcame the Roman legions in about 375 A.D. and took control of most of Europeâ€Â¦Ã¢€Â Doesnâ€â„¢t sound like meadow-dwelling farmers to me, unless they needed a LOT of land! NOTE the name "Pfarrer"...may mean something to the effect of either "unknown" or "illegitimate"

John married Rose Celia Kellenberger on 20 Dec 1916 in Seneca, Nemaha County, Kansas, USA. Rose (daughter of Heinrich Johann Kellenberger and Anna Blaser) was born on 18 Aug 1897 in Sabetha, Nemaha County, Kansas, USA; died on 1 Jan 1995 in Hills, Rock County, Minnesota, USA; was buried in Lester, Lyon County, Iowa, USA.

School Project one of her grandchildren:

Great Grandmother Rose

"In the sweet, by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore". The words of this song still bring comfort to my Great Grandma, Rose Moser.
Even though she is 96 years old, confined to a rest home and no longer able to see, she still possesses a hope of meeting her loved ones in heaven.
Grandma Rose is not a woman of fame or renown, but her life is typical of our forefathers.

Rose Kellenberger married John Moser December 20th, 1916 in Bern, Kansas.
On January 1, 1918 a baby boy, John Milford was born. Baby John died shortly after birth. Grandma Rose mourned the loss of her first born.
Shortly thereafter they moved to a farm northeast of Larchwood. In the next eight years Grandma Rose was blessed with six children.

One hot July day the children entertained themselves playing with water from a wooden stock tank near the windmill. Fourteen month old Donald found himself a gallon pail to stand on in order to reach the water in the tank. The other chi1dren were occupied with their play and garden nearby. They missed him and started looking for him and found baby Donald in the water. Seven year old Mariann took the child -From the tank to the house, where Grandma Rose was busy. Grandma Rose emitted a loud wail as she was handed her lifeless child. The family grieved. Grandpa John built the rough box to hold the tiny casket.

The family continued to grow, and in another eight years five more children were added. Grandpa John began to rely on the help of his oldest son John Nicholes now thirteen years of age.

One noon young Johnny was stricken with a severe stomach ache. The pain lasted several hours, and then Johnny felt some better. It was decided to take him to the doctor In Luverne, MN. The doctor operated, and found that Johnny's appendix had ruptured. His parents were informed that infection had set in, and that Johnny wouldn't live. Johnny suffered for three or four days. One morning at 3:OO Johnny called Grandma Rose to come over to his bed and said, "Mom I want to kiss you good-by. I'm going to heaven to play with the angels'. With that he died.

Three years later the last child joined the family. The family was complete with thirteen children. Yet the circle had been broken with the loss of three sons.

In 1940 Grandpa John didn't feel very well. It was in October, corn picking time. Grandpa John was stricken with bad stomach cramps. The pain was so severe he clawed grooves in the plaster wall with his fingers. Grandma Rose became frantic. Three new doctors had recently set up practice in Rock Rapids. Grandma Rose called all three and pleaded with them to hurry to the aid of her husband. The first Doctor to arrive took Grandpa back to town. They operated and found his appendix had ruptured. In the ten years since young Johnny had died, new procedures and medications had been discovered. But despite drainage tubes and sulfa Grandpa's conditions worsened. Breathing became difficult and the Doctor told the family chances of survival were slim. After a visit and prayer from a church minister Grandpa took a turn for the better. He recuperated and after many weeks returned home.
In 1944 the oldest living son. Harry, was drafted into the army on his 19th birthday. After training he was sent to the island of Luzon in the Philippine.

On Memorial Day 1945 Grandma Rose received the message that Harry had been killed by sniper fire on May 13th, over two weeks before the word of his death was received. A memorial service was held a few weeks later with only Harry's picture to remember him by. In Sept. 1948 Harry's body was laid to rest here.
How did Grandma Rose overcome, it was her strong faith that God was in command and that some day in the "sweet by and by" she will meet her loved ones in a joyful reunion never to part again.
