Johann Heinrich (German) ------------------ Extracted from Kellenberger Family History and Record Book - Revised 1978 Grandfather - Christian David Kellenberger Born December 12, 1827 in Walzenheusen, Switzerland Died March 2, 1895 near Sabetha, Kansas Buried Country Cemetery near Bern, Kansas Grandmother - Marie Magdalena Tobler Born April 4, 1828 in Heiden Kt Appenzell, Switzerland Died February 13, 1901 near Richard, Missouri across the line from Fort Scott, Kansas and was buried there. This was written in 1916. I, H. J. Kellenberger, was born at Rohrsbach Co. St. Gallen, Switzerland on the 10th day of October, 1862. When I was four years old, my father moved to Zurich. Then in 1873 we came to America. On the 1st day of August, we started off at Zurich; quite a lot of my schoolmates were at the station to bid me goodbye. It took us three days to get to LeHarvre via Paris. Then we boarded a new steamer, named Washington, to cross the Atlantic Ocean. It took us just two weeks to come across. We landed at New York. It was quite a city at that time already. They had lots of elevated railroads. Then we started on our trip again by rail; on the 3rd day we arrived at Peoria, Illinois, where we settled down as I had an uncle living there. We only stayed one year at Peoria as it was not the city to suit my father's trade, so we moved to St. Louis, Missouri. When we children grew older, we thought we would like the country life better, so we went to Tremont, Illinois -- close to Peoria again. There we lived on a farm until I was 23 years old. In the spring of 1885, the 27th day of February, I came to Neemaha County, Kansas. On the 15th day of November, I got married and started farming on my own. Then in 1898 we went to try the South -- Eastern Oklahoma and Fort Scott, Kansas. In 1910, we left Fort Scott and came in our old locality again within a few miles of where we now live. P. S. My first days of plowing, I done right across the road of where I now live, 1 mile east of Bern, Kansas, but there was no town then, as there was no railroad here. The Rock Island built the road through here in the fall of 1886, then the townsite sprung up fast. ------------------ Extracted from Kellenberger Family History and Record Book - Revised 1978 JOHN HENRY KELLENBERGER Son John Henry, in German or Swiss Johan Heinrich Born at Rohrsback K.T. St. Gallen, Switzerland - October 10, 1862 Came to America with his parents in 1873, 11 years old. When he was 23 years old, he came to Nemaha County Kansas in February, 1885 in the neighborhood of Sabetha and Bern, Kansas to work on the farm. November 15, 1885 he was united in marriage to Salome Strahm, daughter of Christian and Kathrina Gerber Strahm in the Apostolic Christian Church near Bern. Salome was born at Bluffton, Indiana, December 21, 1860, and came to Kansas with her parents as a child when the Indians still roamed around. To this union five children were born: Martha - November 25, 1886 David John - September 27, 1888 Christian Louis - August 12, 1890 Henry William - December 14, 1892 Nathan Solomon - November 26, 1894 When Henry and Salome were married they lived with her father as the mother had died many years before and Salome was keeping house for her father. The house was built onto a hillside and Martha was born at that place. Some called it a dug out - later they built rooms above. Then November 14, 1895 the mother Salome died quite suddenly. It must have been a stroke or heart attack, after a two week mild illness. In August 16, 1896, Henry was married to Anna Blaser, daughter of Ulrich and Magdelena Shenk Blaser. She was born in KT, Bern, Switzerland on July 31, 1865 and came to America in 1889. Mother Anna died May 2, 1957 at Lester, Iowa. Some of you may think this marriage was quite soon. The father Henry wanted to keep his children together and housekeepers were not to be had. It would have been a scandal for a girl to keep house for a widower those days, and Anna was kind to come in and help raise the five children, which few girls would consider. Then another five children were born: Rose Celia - August 18, 1897 - Sabetha, Kansas Lena Emma - March 14, 1899 - Indian Territory Hulda - July 26, 1900 - Richards, Missouri Herman - January 27, 1902 - Hammond, Kansas Ernest Andrew - June 16, 1906 - Hammond, Kansas In 1899 Henry and Anna left Kansas and moved to Aften Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) in hopes to have their choice of land to homestead. Then Uncle Sam changed his mind and turned this country into a Indian reservation. This is where Lena was born. It was all prairie and wild country, roads were trails across the prairie every which way. The land lord was part Indian. Then in January, 1900 they moved to Fort Scott, Kansas two years. Lived just across the line in Missouri near Richards. Here Hulda was born and the grandmother died in 1901. Then they bought a farm across the line in Kansas near Hammond or ten miles north of Fort Scott. Here Barman and Ernest were born. In 1910 they moved back to Sabetha, Nemaha County, Kansas. By 1916 the four older boys had left for Lyon County, Iowa. Their father Henry went to visit them, liked the country, so in February, 1917, the family left for Lester, Iowa to make their home. The father. Henry wanted to keep his family together. In 1917, sons Henry and Nathan were drafted into World War I. In August 1918 son Henry sent word he would be at Ft. Dix, New Jersey, then sent across. Father Henry and Anna left September 3 for Rockville, Connecticut to visit Anna's sister and family and to see son Henry before he left for overseas. The father caught cold on the way and died at the sister's home September 13, 1918. He never saw his son Henry, as he already had left for Europe. (It was two months before Henry heard that his father had passed away). He had a bad case of hayfever for many years before and got worse every year. He was brought home and buried at the Apostolic Church Cemetery south of Lester. Sons Henry and Nathan both came home from the army. Later five of the boys left for Winthrop, Minnesota, then to Elgin, Illinois where David, Henry, Nathan and Barman still live at this time, 1967. Ernest worked at the Elgin Watch Factory 19 years, then bought a jewelry store at Morris, Minnesota in 1944. Son Christian settled in the Lester, Iowa area as a young man and engaged in farming until his retirement. He is still living in Lester. Three daughters, Martha, Rose and Lena, also settled in this area. Presently, Martha is living in Lester, Rose in Larchwood and Lena in Sioux Falls. Daughter Hulda, moved to Elgin, Illinois in 1928 with her family and passed away July 26, 1932 after giving birth to her third child. ------------------ | Kellenberger, Heinrich Johann (I0305)

Chicago, 1904-1905 Transcribed for Lyon County by Darlene Jacoby and Diane Johnson -------------------------------------------------------------------- HAAN, JOHN John Haan, whose home and farm are in Riverside Township, Lyon County, is still in his early manhood, and his industry, economical habits and upright life, are a credit to his race and blood. He was born January 16, 1870, in Javerland, Germany, and the first five years of his life were spent in his native land, when his parents removed to this country, making indeed a vast change in the lives of their posterity, as well as greatly modifying their own condition. Germany is a land of liberty and education and law, but it has no such opportunity for ambitious manhood as Lyon County has presented in the closing years of the century. The Haans crossed the ocean in a British liner, and effected a location in Grundy County, Iowa, where young John received considerable schooling in the neighboring district school. After completing his education he went to work on his father's farm, and for two years was employed as a farm laborer. In 1891 he became engaged in farming for himself in Pleasant Valley Township, Grundy County, and was married February 24, 1892, to Miss Bessie, daughter of Hie and Engel Rieman. He spent 1894 and 1895 farming in Butler County, and in December, 1894, bought a tract of land in Lyon County, described as follows: the north half of the northeast quarter of section 21, and also the north half of the northeast quarter of section 22, range 45, township 100. In January, 1896, he came to Lyon and settled on this land, and in August, 1898, bought more land, as follows: the south half of the northeast quarter of section 21, and the south half of the northwest quarter of section 22, of the same range and township. He is also the proprietor of a farm of two hundred and forty acres in Noble County, Minnesota, owning in all an amount of land that would have made him an aristocrat in the old country, but which here simply lifts him out of poverty, and gives him an enduring competency. To Mr. and Mrs. John Haan have come the following children: Alfred, born January 13, 1893; John, September 5, 1894; Henry, February; 20, 1896; Ella, March 8, 1898; William McKinley, November 25, 1899; Bertha, December 5, 1901; and an infant, born August 13, 1904. The father of John Haan was born October 12, 1825, in East Friesland, where he was reared to farm life, and where he married Miss Ella Buus in 1858. They had children as follows: Anna, who died when twenty-six years old; Henrietta, who lived to be nineteen years old; Lena; Hannah; Delia; John; Henry, who died in 1875, while still an infant. The grandfather of John Haan was born in Germany, and served in the French Wars. He died in 1835. The grandmother of John Haan died in 1875. She was born in East Friesland, and her father also in East Friesland. He was a farmer and coming to the United States in 1866, located in Illinois, later making a home in Grundy County, Iowa. Ella Buus, the mother of John Haan, was born in East Friesland December 7, 1835, and died February 25, 1880. Hie Rieman was always a farmer, born in East Friesland, Germany, and came to the United states in 1868, and located in Illinois and married there; went from there to Grundy County, stayed there ten years, and then moved to Butler County, where he still lives in his sixty-seventh year. His wife died June 30, 1904. | Haan, John (I2858)

| 78 | 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€Ââ€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" | Moser, John (I0283)

| 82 | born in Finsteroth, Wurttemberg, Germany ----------------------- 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. ----------------------- | Feucht, Johann Michael Martin (I0210)
