    Carl Feucht, fifth child of Johann and Jacobena, was born in Finsteroth, Wurttemberg, Germany, on April 10, 1881. At the little village school, he received education until the age of fourteen. When not in school, he would be found helping in the garden and orchard on his parents small acreage.

    In 1895 (at the age of 14) he and his sister, Frieda, came to America and went to Schambach's in Elgin, 111. He farmed near Elgin for about nine years.

    On September 22, 1904, he married Emma Marie Knobloch at Elgin, 111. That same year, they moved to Stark, 111., and farmed here for about a year and a half.

    Then in the spring of 1906, they moved to Iowa and farmed south of Lester. They became members of the Apostolic Christian Church in September 1906.

    His wife, Emma, passed away suddenly at the age of 24 years, on February 15, 1907, leaving two small sons, Ernst (1^ years old) and Ben (1 week old).

    On February 18, 1908, he married Emma's older sister, Pauline Christine Knobloch. They farmed south of Lester and completely built the homestead. Thirteen children were born to this union.

    Both Carl and Pauline enjoyed traveling and entertaining and did a great deal of both. Carl passed away July 11, 194-9, after a lingering illness and on February 6, 1963, Pauline passed away.

    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.

    Carl married Emma Knobloch on 22 Sep 1904. Emma (daughter of Wilhelm Martin Knobloch and Christine Friederike Nester) was born on 10 Sep 1882; died on 15 Feb 1907. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Johann Michael Martin Feucht was born on 14 Sep 1845 in Mittelsteinbach, Jagstkreis, Wuerttemberg, Germany (son of Johann Michael Feucht and Maria Christine Walther); died on 27 Mar 1926.

    -----------------------
    Excerpted from "The Feucht Family Record" dated ABT 1968

    Johann Feucht (born Sept. 14, 1845) was married to Jacobena Schambach (born Nov. 24, 1853) in the spring of 1876 at Finsteroth, Wurttemberg, Germany. They owned several acres of ground, a little here and there, near the village of Finsteroth, on which they raised wheat for flour, hay for cattle, potatoes, etc., and all the food needed to sustain their family. They also had an orchard which fruit was mostly used for their family. Some was dried for use in the winter. At first the farming was all done by hand, but later with horses especially for the plowing. Cows produced the dairy products for the family and later goats were used for milk too.

    Johann bought fruit and wood from others and then with his horses drove to the big town of Heilbron to sell them at a stand that he had set up. While the horses were resting, he would sell his goods and then return home.

    Eleven children were born to this union; the first two being a set of twin boys, of which the one died at birth. Of the other three sons and six daughters, one of each died before they reached one year of age. The other eight children, with the exception of Pauline and William who were just six and five when they came to America, all attended the little village Lutheran school in Finsteroth. (Finsterrot)

    Jacobena was brought up Lutheran, then went to the Methodist church awhile, but still was not satisfied. A neighbor invited her to attend church with her once, which happened to be the Apostolic Christian Church. She felt that here was a faith that she had been looking for, and in 1894, she and her daughter Caroline, were taken up as members.

    Jacobena had a cousin, George Schambach, living in Elgin, Illinois, and after some correspondence back and forth it was decided that one by one the children and then the folks would move to America where living conditions were better and where there was no military service for the boys.

    So in May 1892, their oldest son Gottfried (14 years old) came over to America by himself. Two years later, in 1894, Rosena and Albert (ages 15 and 14) came over, followed by Carl and Frieda in May 1895 (then 14 and 11 years old).

    In the spring of 1897, Father and Mother with their three last children, Caroline (14), Pauline (6) and William (5) packed up their belongings, said goodbye to their friends at Finsteroth, W^irttemberg, Germany, and headed for Antwerp, Belguin (a three days ride by train from Heilbron, Germany), where they boarded a ship called "Freesland .

    They were on the ocean about 9 days and were often sick. When they finally landed in New York, they took a two days journey by train to Elgin, Illinois, where they were met by some of their family and the Geo. Schambachs.

    Their son, Carl, was farming near Elgin at the time, so they moved in with him and were there for about seven years before moving to Stark, Illinois in 1904. They were near Stark for another four years, spending two years with Carl again (before he moved to Lester) and the other two years with their son, Fred. During the winter of 1906 and the spring of 1907, they, along with their daughter Caroline, made a visit to Germany.

    In 1908, they moved to Iowa, living on a farm near Larchwood for about two years. In 1910 their daughter, Caroline, got married and they lived in with her and her husband until their deaths.

    Johann passed away on March 27, 1926, and Jacobena, who had been in ill health for some time, passed away on June 9, 1933. Their final resting places are in the Apostolic Christian Church Cemetery south of Lester, Iowa.
