 Foreword

When I began to trace my roots more than 20 years ago, I discovered that my immigrant ancestor,
Lewis (Grzinger) Gretzinger, married Johanna (a.k.a. Hannah) Stiefel. I knew noting of the Stiefel
family. My research began with the immigration records.

The Stiefel family, headed by Johann Jacob Stiefel, immigrated in 1854 from Unterderdingen,
Germany. Two of his daughters, Johanna and Elizabeth, immigrated prior to their parents,

Unterderdingen is located in the Karlsruhe District in Baden-Wrttemberg, Germany about 25 miles

north of Stuttgart. Of interest, my ancestor, Lewis Gretzinger, immigrated in 1848 from Reutlingen,
also located in Baden-Wrttemberg, and is about 20 miles south of Stuttgart. A map of the region
appears on the next page.

The Stiefels and Gretzingers (Grzingers in Germany) lived less than 50 miles from each other in
Germany. There is no evidence that these two families knew of each other in Germany. But, Lewis
and the Stiefel family came to Bucks County, Pennsylvania where Lewis and Johanna married in 1854.

A complete Johann Jacob Stiefel descendants report is included as the last chapter of this eBook. The
report includes 354 descendants that I have identified. Each descendant is numbered beginning with
Johann Jacob Stiefel as number "1." As shown on the report, his 12 children are numbered 2 through
13. Those descendants with a plus sign (+) in front of their number indicates that they have children
that are listed in a succeeding generation. Each generation, numbers 1 through 8, is separated by their
respective generation number and listed as a new chapter.

For example, Johanna (Hannah) Stiefel is listed as "+7." She appears again in Generation 2 married to
Lewis Gretzinger with a listing of her six children, numbers 28 through 33. Of her six children, four
have a "+" in front of their number indicating they have children that will be listed in Generation 3.

The other chapters include narratives about certain Stiefel descendants. For example, one of the
descendants was killed in a payroll robbery. Another won more than $4 million as a harness race horse
jockey. Then there is the family story of the almost 900 mile covered wagon immigration from Bucks
County, Pennsylvania to Garber*, Clayton County, Iowa. There was also a cigar maker who produced
over 400,000 cigars monthly, some with Havana tobacco. Another descendant was a college professor
with a phd whose specialty was Number Theory. Another was a department head at Lafayette, College
at Easton, Pennsylvania.

For these narratives, the descendant's name is preceded by the number he/she appears in the
descendant's report in Chapter 8 of this eBook.

*Garber, first called East Elkport, was surveyed in 1872 by John Garber, who also served as the first postmaster
there. It is located within Township of Volga, Clayton County in the northeast corner of Iowa, about 80 miles
north of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The population in 1910 Census was 131. As of July 1, 2015, the population was 86.

Immigration

When I found my emigrants (Lewis Gretzingers) marriage announcement, I learned that

he married a Stiefel. Her name was recorded in the marriage announcement as Hannah,
aka Johanna, Stiefel. They were married in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. on
Wednesday, August 16, 1854.

I knew nothing of my Stiefel ancestors. My initial discovery was in the book, Germans to
America 1850-1878 (page 79 of Vol. 5), which listed the Stiefel family as emigrating on
the ship Mountaineer. They left from Harve, France and arrived in New York on
August 18, 1854. Jacob Stiefel, his wife Catharine and seven children (three males and
four females) were listed. Further research has shown that there were two males (Jacob
and Wilhelm) and five females (Catharina, Christiana, Jacobina, Caroline and
Fredericka). This information was obtained from the minutes to the Derdingen, Germany
Town Council dated May 29, 1854. These minutes also stated that Jacob and his family
immigrated with a total property of 1000 Gulden. A Gulden was a former German
coin and is worth about 60 cents today. Thus, Jacobs total property would have been
worth about $600 today, not very much money for a family of nine people to begin a new
life in a distant country.

Two of Johann Jacob's daughters, Johanna and Elizabeth, were not included in the list
emigrating with their parents. As recorded in the minutes to the Derdingen, Germany
Town Council dated February 9, 1854, these two daughters emigrated prior to their
parents. The two male children listed on the 1854 emigration list were Wilhelm-7, and
Jacob-infant. According to information from Stiefel descendants in Iowa, Jacob and
Wilhelm listed on the 1854 emigration record were sons of Johann Jacob's daughter,
Catharina Stiefel. An extract from the minutes to the Derdingen, Germany Town Council
dated May 29,1854, recorded these children as the illegitimate children of Catharina.
These minutes recorded the birth dates as-Jacob born March 3,1846 and Wilhelm born
July 27, 1853. After emigrating in 1854, Catharina married Michael Hiller in 1858. It is
probable that these two children lived with Michael and Catharina after their marriage.

Another son, Johann Jacob, was also not on the 1854 emigration list with his parents. He
emigrated prior to 1854 as church records listed his marriage in 1849 in Philadelphia, Pa.

This genealogy begins with the emigrant, Johann Jacob Stiefel. He is listed as entry
number 1 on the genealogy report, Descendants of Johann Jacob Stiefel, located at the
end of this eBook in Chapter 8.

 Chapter 2
The First Generation in America

1. Johann Jacob Stiefel

Johann was born on May 8, 1798, in Unterderdingen, in the parish of Derdingen,

Oberamt Maulbronn, Wrttemberg, Germany. Unterderdingen is located about 30 miles
northwest of Stuttgart (the Grzingers/Gretzingers were from Reutlingen, which is about
20 miles south of Stuttgart). On Wednesday, January 24, 1821, at the age of 23 he
married Catharine Margaretha Weisert. She was born on Sunday, January 15, 1802, in
Unterderdingen and was the daughter of Johann Weisert and Eva Lang. She was 19 years
old when they married. The marriage took place in Unterderdingen, Germany.

Jacob and Catharine had twelve children, nine of whom survived to adulthood. In 1854
at the age of 56, Johann Jacob, his wife, five of his daughters and two grandsons
immigrated to America. They left from Harve, France and arrived in New York on
August 18, 1854. They family settled in Springfield Township, Bucks County, Pa.

Two daughters (Johanna and Elizabeth), however, immigrated prior to their parents,
According to church marriage records, Johanna married Lewis Gretzinger (Grzinger) on
August 6, 1854, 12 days before her parents arrived in New York.

John Jacob and his wife, Catharine, became members of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Zion Hill, Springfield Township, Bucks Co., Pa. Both Jacob and Catharine
were listed as communicants at the church in 1857. A daughter, Elizabeth, was listed as
a communicant on May 30, 1856. Two sons, Christian and Jacob, Jr., were recorded as
communicants on Nov. 11, 1857. Daughters, Caroline and Catherine were
communicants on April 1, 1858 and daughters Jacobina (aka Benah) and Christiana on
April 2, 1859. Daughter Johanna (Hannah) was recorded as a communicant with her
husband, Lewis Gretzinger. The remaining child, Fredericka, was not listed.

A photo on the next page of Johann Jacob and his wife was taken after their arrival in
America. I estimate Johann to be 56 years old and Catharine to be 54. The photo was
taken in a studio on Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

Johann Jacob died on Thursday, September 15, 1864, at the age of 66. He was buried in
the cemetery behind the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zion Hill, Springfield
Township, Bucks County, Pa. His wife, Catharine, died about two years later on
Saturday, May 26, 1866. She was also buried in the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church
Cemetery. Their tombstones are in the fourth row of the cemetery directly behind the
church.

The Second Generation in America

Children of Johann Jacob Stiefel and Catharine Weisert

4. Catharina Stiefel

Catharina was born on Friday, November 5, 1824, in Unterderdingen. As noted in

Chapter 1, she immigrated to America with her parents in 1854. She was 29 years old
when she arrived in America. Two of the children, Jacob-age 7 and Wilhelm -an infant,
who also immigrated with Catharina and her parents, were Catharinas illegitimate
children. The father of these children is not known.

Four years after arriving in America, Catharina married Michael Hiller on Tuesday,
February 2, 1858. Rev. Kammerer (or Kemmerer) conducted the marriage that took place
in Richland Township, Bucks County, Pa. When they married, Catharina was 34 years
old and Michael was 38. He was born on Saturday, April 8, 1820, in Wuerttemberg,
Germany.

It is probable that the two children, Jacob and Wilhelm, who immigrated with Catharina
in 1854, lived with her and her husband after their marriage in 1858. However, Catharina
and Michael had two children of their own, a boy and a girl.

Michael attended St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church, Richlandtown, Bucks County,
Pa. between 1854 and 1864. Catharina communed there between 1859 and 1865.
Sometime after 1865, the family moved to Zion Hill, Springfield Township, Bucks
County, Pa. where they had a farm. Michaels occupation was recorded as farmer in
the 1870 census. He died at the age of 70 on Friday, July 4, 1890, and was buried at Zion
Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery, Zion Hill, Pa.

After the death of her husband, Catharina posed for a photograph with her daughter,
Catharine (aka Cassie) and her granddaughter, Laura. I estimate that the picture (see next
page) was taken about 1895 when Catharina was 71 years old. Catharina died on
Saturday, March 21, 1908, at the age of 84 and was buried at Zion Evangelical Lutheran
Cemetery with her husband.

5. Johann Jacob Stiefel, Jr.

Johann Jacob, Jr. was born on Tuesday, February 13, 1827, in Unterderdingen, Germany.
He was confirmed in 1841 in Germany at the age of 14. Sometime between 1841 and
1849, Johann immigrated to America. In America, he married Fredricka Lang (or Long)
on Sunday, May 13, 1849, in St. Michael & Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church,
Philadelphia, Pa. When they married, Johann was 22 years old and Fredericka was 21.
She was born on Sunday, January 20, 1828, in Wuerttemberg, Germany.

Johann Jacob and Fredricka had seven children, five males and two females. It appears,
however, that only one male and one female lived to adulthood.

Johann Jacob lived at 2933 Cambridge St., Philadelphia, Pa., which was his sons, Jacob,
residence at the time of his death. Johann Jacob died on Wednesday, May 3, 1899, in
Philadelphia at the age of 72. His death notice invited the following organizations to his
funeral: Humbolt Beneficial Society No. 1 and the Barbarosa Beneficial Society No. 1. It
appears that Johann Jacob was a member of these societies.

Johann Jacob was buried at the Glenwood Cemetery, 25th and Glenwood Ave. (Section
K, Lot 186), Philadelphia, Pa. on Sunday, May 7, 1899. Buried in the same lot were his
wife and four children. The cemetery, however, was moved to Broomall, Delaware
County in 1938. The cemetery records note that Jacob and his family were re-interred on
Tuesday, August 30, 1938, in Section K, Lot 159 of the Glenwood Cemetery in
Broomall, 2321 West Chester Pike. Other family members buried in this plot were
Fredricka ( Jacobs wife)-age 78, and four of Johann Jacobs children, Frank-age 15,
George-19 months, Leona-age 3 years, and Charles-age 1 month.

The Glenwood Cemetery records indicate that the owner of the Stiefel burial plot was
Henry Kunzig. The cemetery administrator advised that Kunzig was a funeral director
who owned a number of plots in the Philadelphia Glenwood Cemetery. Also buried in
Section K of the Glenwood Cemetery, Lot 230 was another Stiefel family. The family
members in this lot were: Frederick-buried May 31, 1880, age 37; Emma-buried February
8, 1878, age 48; Emma-buried August 13, 1873, age 3 months; Anna-buried April 10,
1876, age 6 weeks; Ernst-buried September 1, 1878, age 5 years; Frederick-buried
November 9, 1879, age 1 month; and Rosa-buried February 25, 1886, age 5 months. The
owner of this lot was Michael Stiefel. A connection of this family to our Stiefel line has
not been established.

Johann Jacobs wife, Fredricka, died on Sunday, November 26, 1906, in Philadelphia
Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa. at the age of 78. Her death certificate noted that the cause of
death was Nephritis (chronic inflammation of the kidney) and Congestion of the lungs.
The contributing cause was recorded as Burns, accidentally received. Fredricka was
buried on Wednesday, November 28, 1906, at the Glenwood Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pa.

buried on Wednesday, November 28, 1906, at the Glenwood Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pa.
At the time of her death, she had been living at 2933 Cambridge Street, Philadelphia, Pa.,
her sons residence.

7. Johanna Stiefel

Johanna was born on Wednesday, August 4, 1830, in Unterderdingen, Germany. Johanna

(aka Hannah) immigrated to America on the ship "Victoria" and arrived in America on
August 18, 1853 at the age of 25. In an extract from the minutes to the Town Council of
Derdingen, Germany dated February 9, 1854, Johanna and her sister, Elizabeth, were
recorded as planning to emigrate. Their father, Johann Jacob, was in agreement with his
daughters intent and gave each of them 77 Gulden (or guilder, a former coin of
Germany, worth about 60 cents today. 77 Gulden would be about $50 today) travel
money, as well as the means for sustenance. The minutes also recorded that he and both
of his daughters signed the immigration documents.

After arriving in America, the Rev. William B. Kemmerer married Johanna to Lewis
Gretzinger (or Grzinger) on Sunday, August 6, 1854, in Milford Township, Bucks
County, Pa. When she married, Hannah was 24 years old and Lewis was 35.

They had six children, two males and four females. Johannas husband, Lewis, died on
Wednesday, May 11, 1904, at the age of 85. He was buried at the Christ Union Cemetery,
Trumbauersville, Bucks Co., Pa. A photo (see below) was taken of Johanna about 1895
when she would have been 60 years old.

8. Christian Stiefel

Christian was born on Wednesday, September 19, 1832, in Unterderdingen, Germany. In

1846 at the age of 13, he was confirmed in Germany. Christian did not immigrate to the
United States with his parents. It is believed that he immigrated prior to 1854. It is likely
that he immigrated to America with his brother, Johann Jacob, between 1841 and 1849.

After arriving in America, Christian married Maria (Mller) Miller on Monday, October
3, 1859, in St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa. He and Maria had six daughters-
Malinda, Mary Elizabeth, Caroline, Sophia, Lizzie and Lucy. His occupation was
blacksmith. (see Chapter 7 for the Mller Family genealogy)

Christian, his wife and her parents (Johannes and Anna Mller) migrated by covered
wagon to Clayton Co., Iowa in 1862. Clayton County is in the northeast corner of Iowa
bordering with Wisconsin. Why the covered wagons? By 1860, there were 30,000 miles
of railroad, and the transcontinental railroad was completed nine years later. But the RR
fares prior to 1870 were out of reach for the average person. This may have been the
reason that Christian and the Mllers had to use covered wagons.

The distance between Bucks Co., PA and Clayton, Co., IA is 1,015 miles, based on a
route that parallels today's Interstate 80 West through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois and then north to Clayton County, Iowa.

It is estimated that covered wagons traveled about 8 to 20 miles per day depending on the
terrain and weather. Using an estimate of 10 miles per day to cover the distance between
Bucks Co., PA and Clayton Co., Iowa of 1015 miles, it would have taken the family
about three and a half months to make their trip in a covered wagon.

Why did Christian leave Pennsylvania? At that time, the Germans had "clearing houses"
around America that kept tabs on land openings. Christian and his (future) father-in-law,
according to Marie Knoernschild Adams (a granddaughter of Christian and Maria), went
west and looked at land in Wisconsin and Iowa and decided on Iowa. They went back to
Pennsylvania to get the women and migrated to Iowa to homestead.

In the 1900 Iowa census, Christian's occupation was listed as "capitalist". It also noted
that one of the six children had died.

A photograph on the next page of Christian and Maria was taken in the studio of C. O.
Peick, Guttenberg, Iowa. I estimate that the photo was taken about 1895 when Christian
was 63 years old and Maria was 55.

11
Christian died at the age of 91 in Garber, Volga Township, Clayton County, Iowa on
Thursday, April 26, 1923. Maria died at the age of 92 in Garnaville, Iowa on Saturday,
August 6, 1932. She And Christian are buried at the Mt. Harmony Cemetery, southeast of
Elkport, Iowa.

Christian & Maria (nee Miller) Stiefel

The following is an obituary for Christian's wife, Maria (nee Miller) Stiefel

Obituary-The Clayton County Register, Elklader, Iowa 1933

Mrs. Maria Stiefel, a resident of Clayton County for more than 70 years, died while
visiting at the home of her nephew, John Roggman, at Garnaville, on Sunday night,
August 6th, after an illness of a month's duration. Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. M. B. Harder, in English and by Rev. K. W. Braun in German, at the Roggman
residence, Wednesday forenoon at 10 o'clock, and by Rev. Hunger at the Lutheran an
Evangelical church at Garber in the afternoon a 2 o'clock. Interment was made in Mt.
Harmony cemetery, southwest of Elkport.

Mrs. Stiefel, nee Mueller, was born at Nieste (about 160 miles north of Stuttgart),
Kurhessen, Germany, Dec. 6, 1840. She was the eldest child of Johannes Muller and his
wife, nee Sophia Krueger. Hers was a Christian home, the influence of which she
cherished throughout he life.

At the age of 16 years (would have been in 1856) she came to America alone. The
voyage on a sailing vessel required four weeks. Pork and beans, hard-tack, potatoes with
jackets and herring constituted the main fare on board. Because of insufficient number of
passengers, the vessel landed at New York harbor instead of Philadelphia, its intended
destination. This handicapped some of the passengers, who expected to be received by
friends in Philadelphia. She without money, Mrs. Stiefel and others similarly situated
were stranded.

Optimistic kinsmen, seeing their distress, said: "Why weep? You ought to rejoice, for you
are now in America! "Eager for adventure and exercising faith and that indominatable
will so characteristic of Mrs. Stiefel, she soon established herself in this country. Finding
it to her liking, she encouraged her parents, brother and sisters to come across. In the
meantime, she was married to Christian Stiefel, at Spinnersville, Pa. (my research has the
marriage at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Montgomery Co., Red Hill, Pa.) Oct. 8, 1859
(she would have been 19 years old).

Together the couple had been to Clayton county for a brief period of farming in Jefferson
township, and had returned to the East before being joined by home folks from Germany.
They all journeyed to the Mid West to reside. Mr. and Mrs. Stiefel engaged in farming for
about 22 years in Volga township and then retired to Garber, where they lived
contentedly for 40 years.

13
In the year 1909 they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, with all the living
children and grandchildren present. They also celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
Three years later the home was saddened by the death of the husband and father on April
26, 1923. Since that time Mrs. Stiefel has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Conrad
Schnepf of Graber, and Mrs. Herman Knoernschild of Dubuque.

She leaves bereft five daughters: Mrs. Melinda Schnepf of Graber, Mrs. Mary Kingery of
Buhl, Idaho*, Mrs. Carolyn Frank of Chicago, Ill; Mrs. Sophia Cuthbert of Milwaukee,
Wis., Mrs. Lucy Knoernschild of Dubuque; also 18 grandchildren and 15
great-grandchildren. A twin daughter, Lizzie, died at the age of 4 and 1/2 years of
diphtheria.

Mrs. Stiefel was the last remaining member of her parents family, her brother Karl having
died in 1882, her father several years later, her mother in 1894, her sister, Mrs. Eliese
Roggman of Garnaville in 1927, her sons-in-law, Wm. Kingery in 1917, J. Cuthbert in
1925, J. Frank in 1928, Conrad Schnepf in 1931; also her brothers-in-law, Frederick
Roggman in 1882 and Peter Bahr in 1923, and sisters-in laws, Mrs. Karl
Mueller-Hildebrand in 1932.

Mrs. Stiefel was an admirer and lover of nature in all seasons of the year. Her home was
surrounded by flowers of every size, color and description. Many a heart was gladdened
in joy and in sorrow by her generous distribution of them. The floral offerings at her
funeral were many and beautiful, a fitting tribute to her for her life-long love of flowers.

There are not many who attain an age of 92 years, eight months, who find interest in a
changing world and try to adjust themselves to modern trends for the sake of those about
them, as she did Mrs. Stiefel. The happiness and comfort of others meant much to her. To
please her daughters and grandchildren, she made a trip to Chicago, Oak Park, Evanston,
and Milwaukee last summer. On her birthday, December last, she heartily joined in the
celebration tendered by her daughters, nieces and nephews. She was happier to minister
than to be ministered onto. Her goal was not one that could be reached by a path of roses
but one that meant pain, sorrow and hardships. She seemed to have a divine insight into
the needs of people and with her tireless energy changed circumstances, and like an angel
of mercy healed wounds, dried tears, and bade all stretch to things eternal. She struggled
and labored, as well we do, to learn the truth. Her Christian character and sympathetic
nature always brought inspiration and a good word that left us feelingwe ought to be
better folks than we are.

*Buhl was founded on April 17, 1906. It was named for Frank H. Buhl of Sharon, Pennsylvania, a major
investor in a Carey Act project known as the Twin Falls South Side project, which introduced large-scale
irrigation to the Magic Valley in the early 20th Century. Buhl is located on the old Oregon Trail in the
western half of Twin Falls County, Idaho, United States. The population was 4,122 at the 2010 census, up

neighbors and friends.

9. Elizabeth Stiefel
Elizabeth was born on Tuesday, August 11, 1835, in Unterderdingen, Germany. In
Germany at the age of 10, she was confirmed. She left Germany at the age of 19 and
immigrated to America in 1854 with her sister, Johanna. Five years later she married
Xavier Pfender. They were both 25 years old when they married. Xavier was born in
October 1835 in Baden, Germany. They had nine children but only four children, all
males, survived.

Elizabeth and Xavier began taking communion as husband and wife Dec. 11, 1859
through 1864 at St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church, Richlandtown, Pa. Sometime
after 1864, Elizabeth and Xavier relocated to Philadelphia, Pa. A photograph (see below)
was taken about 1880 when both Elizabeth and Xavier would have been 45 years old.

On Nov. 7, 1892, Xavier purchased a cemetery plot at Mt. Peace Cemetery., Phila., Pa.
(Deed 3993, Section R, lot 402). Prior to this purchase, a number of bodies were moved
from the Glenwood Cemetery, Phila, Pa. to Mt. Peace. The cemetery records identified
the bodies as Emma, Mamie, John, Elizabeth, Mary Pfender. They were re-interred on
this lot at Mt. Peace on March 28, 1891. It appears that they may have been the parents of
Xavier and other relatives.

Also buried in this lot were Freda Pfender, buried 9/15/1895-cause of death diphtheria,
age 9 months and Louisa Pfender, buried 7/3/1903-cause of death cholera inflammation,
age 2 1/2 years. These girls were probably daughters of the sons of Xavier and Elizabeth.

15
Another body in this plot was Charles Leonard Abrahamson, Jr. who was buried on Feb.
17, 1926, cause of death congenial syp., age 20 days. The relationship of this boy to the
Pfenders is not known.

The source for Mt. Peace Cem. Records, 3111 W. Lehigh Ave., Phila., PA (located east
of Laurel Hill Cem.). Records are maintained by Lawnview Cem., 500 Huntingdon Pile,
Rockledge, PA 19046.

Elizabeths husband, Xavier, died on Wednesday, February 5, 1913, in Philadelphia, Pa.

at the age of 78. I believe he was buried at Mount Peace Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pa. Four
years later, Elizabeth died on Tuesday, February 20, 1917, in Philadelphia at the age of
81. From an undated newspaper clipping, her obituary read, Pfender-Feb. 20, Elizabeth,
widow of late Xavier Pfender (nee Stiefel), aged 81. Relatives and friends, members of
Home Dept. and Ladies Society of Zion Presbyterian Church, invited to funeral, Sat. 2
P.M., 2938 Cambridge St. Interment Mount Peace Cemetery. Remains may be viewed
Fri, 7 to 9 P.M.

10. Christiana Stiefel

Christiana was born on Thursday, July 19, 1838, in Unterderdingen, Germany where she
was confirmed at the age of 15 in 1853. She immigrated to the Untied States with her
parents in 1854 when she was 16 years old.

On Tuesday, January 11, 1876, in St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa., she married
Tobias Reiter. Rev. F. Waage married them. She was 38 and Tobias was 51 years old.
This was the third marriage for Tobias and the first for Christiana.

Tobias was a son of Joseph and Elizabeth (nee Heist) Reiter, and was born on Thursday,
August 11, 1825. In 1848, Tobias married his first wife, Edith Wonsidler, to whom eight
children were born, six died prior to 1887. One of Tobias surviving children was Joseph
W. Reiter, born in 1853 in Trumbauersville, Pa. Tobias first wife, Edith, died in 1865
when her son, Joseph W., was only 12 years old.
Joseph W. learned the cigar making trade at the age of 15 and in 1873 at the age of 20,
he entered into a partnership in the tobacco business with J. W. Brunner, doing business
under the name of Reiter & Brunner. This partnership was dissolved in 1877.

In 1885 at the age of 32, Tobias son, Joseph W. Reiter, embarked on a mercantile
business with David Breisch, and they established the Fidelity Cigar Manufacturing
Company. They operated a factory on the top floor of the William Keller General
Merchandise Store and employed 70 people. In 1893 he sold his interest in the mercantile
business and devoted his entire time to cigar making. His firm produced 400,000 cigars a
month. He also dealt in Havana and Sumatra leaf tobaccos, domestic fibers, packing
presses, etc. The firm owned several large warehouses, one at Cressman (now known as
Trumbauersville), one at Easton, Pa., another at Cato, New York, and a fourth at
Janesville, Wisconsin.

Tobias son, Joseph W., was a director of the Merchants National Bank, later the
Provident National Bank, Quakertown. He was a member of the Lodge No. 469 F&AM,
Coopersburg and a Knight of Pythias of Trumbauersville.

After the death of his first wife, Edith (nee Wonsidler), in 1865, Tobias Reiter married
again in 1866 to Sarah Cressman, daughter of Anthony Cressman. Sarah died in 1874. As
noted above, Tobias third wife was Christiana Stiefel, whom he married in 1876. They
had one child who was born about 1876.

Tobias received a common-school education and was always engaged in farming until
1878 when he retired. He was the past chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and was a

1878 when he retired. He was the past chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and was a
member of the Lutheran Church. Politically he was a democrat. He served in Christs
Church in Trumbauersville as deacon, elder and a member of the building committee. He
moved to Trumbauersville when he was three years old (1822), and it was his home when
he died on Wednesday, March 22, 1899, at the age of 74. He was buried on Sunday,
March 26,1899, at the Christ Union Cemetery, Trumbauersville, Pa.
Christiana survived her husband by eight years. She passed away on Tuesday, July 23,
1907, at the age of 69. She was buried at the Christ Union Cemetery, Trumbauersville,
Pa. on Saturday, July 27, 1907.

11. Jacobina Stiefel

Jacobina was born on Thursday, October 22, 1840, in Unterderdingen, Germany. Rev.
Karl Kehl baptized her on Monday, November 2, 1840, in Wuerttemberg, Germany. In
1854 in Germany at the age of 13, she was confirmed.

Jacobina immigrated to America with her parents in 1854. She was 14 years old. After
arriving in America, she married Josiah Bealer on Saturday, January 30, 1869, in St.
Pauls Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa. When they married, she was 29 years old and
Josiah was 34. He was born on Tuesday, October 20, 1835, and was the son of David
Bealer and Sophia Rosenberger. They had one daughter. Josiah was raised in the Kumry
area off of Canary Farm Road, north of Trumbauersville.

About 1880, Josiah and Jacobina posed for a photograph (see below). Based on that date,
Josiah would have been 45 years old and Jacobina would have been 40 years old.

On Saturday, May 24, 1919, Josiah died. He was 84 years old. He was buried at St.
Johns Reformed Church, Spinnerstown, Pa. Six years later, Jacobina died at the age of 85 on
Thursday, September 24, 1925. She was buried next to her husband at St. Johns Reformed Church,
Spinnerstown, Pa.

13. Caroline Stiefel

Caroline was born on Monday, February 20, 1843, in Unterderdingen, Germany. Caroline
also immigrated in 1854 with her parents. She was 11 years old when she immigrated.
After arriving in the United States, she was confirmed at the Zion Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Zion Hill, Pa. on Saturday, April 11, 1857.

About 1861, she married William Croll (also spelled Krull). William was born on Friday,
June 8, 1827. When they married, Caroline was 18 years old and William was 34. They
had ten children, including Clara Amelia, born January 18, 1879.

A photo (see below) was taken of Caroline and William. I believe it was taken a few
years after they were married, about 1862. Caroline would have been 19 years old and
William would have been 35 years old in the photo.

William died at the age of 56 on Saturday, April 14, 1883. He was buried at St. Marks
Reformed Church Cemetery, Pennsburg, Montgomery County, Pa. Caroline lived for 25
years after the death of her husband. She died at the age of 65 on Tuesday, October 27,
1908. She was buried next to her husband at St. Marks Reformed Church Cemetery,
Pennsburg, Montgomery County, Pa.

13. Fredericka Stiefel

The last child, Fredericka, was born on Friday, October 4, 1845, in Unterderdingen,
Germany. She also immigrated to America with her parents in 1854. She was almost ten
years old when she immigrated. Thirteen years after arriving in the United States she
married Louis Fosbenner (also spelled Fausbenner) in 1867. He was born in March 1836
in Pennsylvania. When they married, Fredericka was 22 years old and Louis was 31.
They had four children.

Louis was a carpenter. He and his family resided at 2242 Cadwalader St., Philadelphia,
Pa. He died 1911 at the age of 75 years. Frederica died in 1929. Both Fredericka and
Louis are buried at Hillside Cemetery, Roslyn, Montgomery Co., Pa.

When she was 85 years old in 1929, her picture (see below) appeared in the Philadelphia
newspaper. The picture was associated with an article about her sons death in a payroll
robbery. A more complete account of the robbery appears in Chapter 4 (see Harry C.
Fosbenner, entry number 53).

16. Jacob Stiefel

Jacob Stiefel was born in September 1849 in Pennsylvania. At the age of 21 in 1870 he
married Louisa H. Weizenegger. She was born in May 1852 in Pennsylvania and was 18
years old when she married Jacob. Jacob and Louisa had three sons: Harry J. born
September 1875, William born 1878 and Frank K. born August 1879.

In the 1880 census for Philadelphia (Ward 29), the family was living at 2925 Cambridge
St., Philadelphia, Pa. His occupation was recorded as butcher.

Jacobs wife, Louisa, died on Monday, March 20, 1905, at the age of 53. She was buried
at Northwood Cemetery, 15th & Haines Sts., Phila, Pa. in the Forest section of the
cemetery, Lot 198. Five years after his wife passed away, Jacob died in July 1910 at the
age of 61. He was buried on Thursday, July 28, 1910, next to his wife at Northwood
Cemetery, 15th & Haines Sts., Phila, Pa.

Also in this lot are William and Harry J. Stiefel, two of Jacobs sons.

Jacobs death notice invited the following organizations to his funeral: Loyal Council,
No. 781, Jr., O. U. A. M. and Barbarosa Beneficial Society. It appears Jacob was a
member of these organizations. Jacob lived at 1451 N. 28th St., Phila., Pa at the time of
his death in 1910.

In the summer of 1999, I visited the Northwood Cemetery. My objective was to find the
gravesite for Jacob and his family. I could not find the location so found the caretaker. He
led me to the lot but we could not find the grave marker. We did find a stone lying flat
on the ground but it had no inscriptions. After digging around the edges, I found the
inscription Jacob Stiefel."

34. Malinda Stiefel

Malinda Stiefel was born in 1861. On April 26, 1888, she married Conrad Schnepf, son
of Henry Schnepf and Magdalena Deckerd. When they married, Malinda was 27 years
old and Conrad was 31. They had four sons (Henry, Edward, Arthur and George) and
two daughters (Ina and Hattie).

Malinda's husband, Conrad, died at the age of 74 in 1931. Thirteen years later, Malinda
died in 1944 at the age of 83. Both are buried at Mount Harmony Cemetery, Clayton
Co., Elkport, Iowa.

35. Mary Elizabeth Stiefel

Mary Elizabeth was born in Mar 1862 in Pennsylvania. When she was two years of age,
the family moved from Pennsylvania to Iowa. There she married William Otto Kingery,
son of John Kingery and Sarah Jane Ayers, on November 11, 1885. They were married
in Luverne, Kossuth County, Iowa.

William was born in May 1859 in Carl Co., Illinois. His father was born in Pennsylvania
and his mother in Ohio.

Mary's first two children, Edith-b.1887 and Ina-b.1889, were born in Iowa. Sometime
between 1889 and 1892, she and William moved to South Dakota where two children,
Vera-b.1892 and Lloyd-b.1899, were born. Sometime between 1899 and 1905, she
moved back to Iowa where her daughter, Mildred, was born in 1906.

Mary E. Kingery is listed in the 1905 State Census for Iowa, Lyon Co., Elgin Twp., PO
Little Rock. In 1915, I found Mary E. Kingery, married to W. O. Kingery, in the State
Census for South Dakota. Thus, after the birth of Mildred in 1906, Mary and William
moved back to South Dakota.

In 1917 William Kingery died at the age of 58. I have not been able to locate his burial
location, but it may be in South Dakota.

In 1932, at age 70 years, Mary (nee Stiefel) Kingery attended her mother's funeral in
Garber, Iowa. The obituary for Mary's mother stated that Mrs. Mary Kingery was living
in Buhl, Idaho. It appears that sometime after her husband's death in 1917, she moved to
Idaho (the distance between Garber, Iowa and Buhl, Twins Falls County, Idaho is about
1500 miles, quite a distance to travel for a 70 year old in 1932).

22
The 1920 Census for Buhl, Idaho listed Mary Kingery as the head of a household with
four daughters: Edith age 32 born in Iowa, Ina age 30 born in Iowa, Verna age 27 born in
South Dakota and Mildred age 13 born in Iowa. None were married in 1920.

According to the genealogy of William Otto Kingery I found on the Church of the Latter
Day Saints website, Ina Pearl Kingery, Mary's daughter, died at the age of 61 in 1950 in
Buhl, Idaho. According to the Billion Graves Index, she was recorded as buried in the
Buhl Cemetery. The same genealogy recorded Mary Elizabeth's death in 1937 at age 75.
The Billion Graves index has a picture of Mary Elizabeth's tombston.

The Kingery genealogy also recorded Edith's (Mary's first daughter) marriage to Oscar
Everson who died in 1948 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and is buried there. Find A Grave
website has one cemetery listed in Coeur d'Alene-Coeur d'Alene Memorial Gardens (also
known as: Coeur d'Alene Memorial Gardens, Restlawn Cemetery). The website lists
6076 burials, but none with a surname Everson. The Billion Graves website also has no
listings for any Eversons, Oscar or Edith.

36. Caroline Stiefel

Caroline (a.k.a. Carrie) was born on September 16, 1864, in Clayton Co., Iowa. She
married John Fritz Frank at the age of 24 on October 10, 1888, in Elkport*, Clayton Co.,
Iowa. He was born on August 3, 1862, in Alsace Lorraine, Germany.

When John married Carrie, the marriage was performed in the Garber, Iowa area. They
lived in Chicago. There is no hint that John Fritz Frank ever lived in Garber. According
to various Voter Registration forms, he lived in Chicago since to 1881.

Caroline had three children: John born in 1890, Herman born on July 13,1894, and Lucile
born on October 5, 1896.

John Frank was a blacksmith, sleigh-wagon-carriage manufacturer in Hyde Park, IL a

suburb of Chicago. He died on December 22, 1928, in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, He was
66 years if age. He is buried at the Evergreen Cemetery and Mausoleum, Evergreen
Park, Cook County, Illinois,

On August 2, 1937, Carrie was traveling by auto from Chicago, Illinois to Garber, Iowa.
She was in an auto accident in Rockford, Illinois and was killed. She was 73 and was
buried with her husband at the Evergreen Cemetery and Mausoleum, Evergreen Park,
Cook County, Illinois,
____________________________________________________________________
*Elkport was a city in Clayton County, Iowa, United States. The population was 88 in the 2000
census. The town was severely damaged by floods in May 2004. After the floods, all residents
of the town chose federal buyout, selling their homes to the United States federal government
for demolition. In September 2006, nearly all of the buildings of Elkport were demolished.

37. Sophia Stiefel
Sophia was born in Apr 1867 in Clayton County, Iowa. She married John Cuthbert. He
was born in Mar 1864 in Canada. John's father was born in Canada and his mother in
Ireland.

John and Sophia had two children: John Carson born in Mar 1894 in Illinois and Winona
S. born about 1903 in Illinois. Winona married Matthew Flock. He was born about 1896
in Wisconsin.

John died in 1925 at the age of 60 years. After his death, Sophia lived with her daughter,
Winona, in the Flock household in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sophia died there in July
1949 at the age of 82.

39. Lucia Sophia Stiefel

Lucia (a.k.a. Lucy) was born between Aug-Sep 1879 in Volga Twp., Clayton, Iowa.
When she was 31 years old, she married Herman C. Knoernschild, son of John
Knoerschild and Sophia Wischhofer. They were married on March 31, 1910, in Garber,
Clayton Co., Iowa.

Herman was born on September 24, 1860, in Dubuque, Dubuque Co., Iowa, making him
50 years of age when he married Lucy. Herman's parents were born in Germany.

Herman and Lucy Sophia had the following children:. Marie who was as born on April
27, 1911 in Iowa and died on May 8, 2013 at the age of 102; Louis J. born on May 19,
1913, in Dubuque, Dubuque Co., Iowa and died on October 6, 1977 in Dubuque,
Dubuque Co., Iowa; and Harold who was born on October 29, 1919, in Iowa and died on
November 11, 1979 in Iowa

Herman died at the age of 76 on August 3, 1936, in Dubuque, Dubuque Co., Iowa and is
buried at Linwood Cemetery, Dubuque, Dubuque Co., Iowa. Lucy's death date is
unknown but is buried with her husband at Linwood Cemetery, Dubuque, Dubuque Co.,
Iowa. Their three children are also buried at Linwood Cemetery,

Ellen Malinda was born Tuesday, January 17, 1867. In 1896 she married Elmer Harner,
who was born on Monday, March 9, 1868. When they married, Ellen was 29 and Elmer
was 28 years old. They had nine children, seven survived to adulthood. They were: Cora
born 1897, Raymond B. born 1900, Samuel B. born 1903, Bertha born 1906, Serapion B.
born 1904, Levi B. born 1909 (see next page), and George B. born 1915.

In 1898, Ellen and Elmer posed for a picture (see below) with their first child Cora.

Elmer died on Monday, July 19, 1948, at the age of 80. His wife followed seven years
later on Wednesday, July 27, 1955, at the age of 88.

123. Levi B. Harner (great-grandson of the immigrant, Johann Stiefel)

Levi B. Harner was born on May 10,1909. He became a sulky driver. As reported in the
Harness Racing Hall of Fame, Levi began his harness racing driving career on the
Pennsylvania fair circuit at the age of eighteen. He won his first race three years later at
the 1930 Washingtonville, PA fair, driving Slick Tass to a 2:17 win.

Harner topped the U.S. drivers' list three times, winning the national title in 1946, '47 and
again in '52. He also won numerous driving titles at Batavia Downs and Buffalo Raceway
during the post-World War II years.

Respected as an excellent colt developer and a master driver with a keen sense of timing,
Harner was patronized for many years by fellow Hall of Famer and owner Ted Zornow,
president of the U.S. Trotting Association from 1970-1977. Together they campaigned
such stars as 1969 Cane Pace winner, Kat Byrd p,3,1:58.4h and Tar Boy p, 7, 1:58. With
their win over Bye Bye Byrd and Adios Butler in the 1960 Yonkers International Encore
Pace, Levi Harner deemed Tar Boy his best horse of all time.

Levi Harner was inducted into the Harness Racing Living Hall of Fame in 1985. In 1986,
at age seventy-seven, he recorded the last of his 2:00 victories, becoming one of the
oldest drivers to do so. He retired from driving in 1988 after winning more than $4
million* and 2,574 races. At that time this record placed him 66th on the all time list.
Levi Harner died in his sleep on September 17, 1998 at the age of eighty-nine.

Levi was married to Arlene R. Rischel who was born on July 25, 1913. They had two
sons (Eldon G. 1933-2002 and Stehen L. 1956-1991) and a daughter, Gwen, married to
William Gilmour who resides in Ridgeway, Ontario, Canada. Arlene died on November
17, 2006, at the age of 93.

Levi, his wife and their two sons are buried at the Jerseytown Cem., Jerseytown,
Columbia Co. , PA

Clara Amelia was born on January 18, 1879. She married Preston T. Roeder, son of
Thomas Marsteller Roeder and Catherine Seifert, on November 1, 1898. He was born in
1879 in Lehigh Co., PA.

Clara and Preston had thirteen children: Viola May born 1899, Paul W. born 1902,
Arthur R. born 1903, Fred Vincent born 1904, Ernest L. born 1907, Lee Elwood born

59. Harry C. Fosbenner (grandson of the immigrant, Johann Stiefel)

Harry was born in July 1876. In 1903 at the age of 27 he married Elizabeth Howell. She
was born in 1879 making her 24 years old when she married Harry. They had three
children, however, one died before 1910. Elizabeth died in 1925 at the age of 46 leaving
Harry a widower. Her picture is below.

Harry was the payroll clerk for Stead & Miller, upholstery manufactures at 4th &
Cambridge Streets. (Kensington section of Philadelphia). On Friday, March 1, 1929,
Harry was carrying a $1,330 payroll (about $17,500 today) to the companys dye house at
2611 Bodine St., three blocks away. He was walking south on 4th St. at about noon when
two men accosted him.

Witnesses said there was an exchange of a few words after which one of the men drew a
revolver and shot Harry. The bullet pierced his heart. The second man grabbed the
payroll sack and they both leaped into a waiting car and disappeared around the corner on
Somerset Street.

John Casso, age 23, of 2730 N. 4th St., took Harry to Episcopal Hospital where he was
pronounced dead. He was 53 years old when he was killed.

The newspapers reported that police were looking for a man who was said to have
threatened Harrys life. Co-workers recalled that as he left his home, Harry was
approached by two robbers one morning about four weeks before the murder. Both the
Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Record newspapers (issues of March 2, 1929)
gave accounts of this robbery.

The Record also listed Harrys brother, Frank, age 54. It also reported that they, Harry
and Frank, were the support for their aged mother, Fredericka Fausbenner (Frederickas
married name was also spelled Fosbenner) and that they lived with her at 4566 Worth
Street (Frankford section of Philadelphia).

The Record reported that Harry was survived by two daughters, Florence, 21, and Viola,
16. One of the newspapers included a diagram of the shooting, which appears on the next
page. The pictures in the diagram are from left to right, Eddie Lindsley, 17, a mill worker
who witnessed the murder; Frederica Fosbenner, 85, mother of Harry, and Viola, 18, one
of Harrys daughters.

As noted above, Harry was killed in 1929 at age 53 years. Both are buried at Hillside
Cemetery, Montgomery Co., Roslyn, Pa.

137. Fred Vincent Roeder (great-grandson of the immigrant, Johann Jacob Stiefel)

Fred Vincent was born on Tuesday, October 18, 1904. He was baptized on Friday,
December 30, 1904, at St. Marks Lutheran Church, Pennsburg, Pa. He attended East
Greenville High School and graduated in 1921. He led his class and delivered the
Valedictory Oration.

In the fall of 1921, he entered Ursinus College where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts
Degree majoring in Mathematics. In his senior year, Fred was chosen president of the
Mathematical Group and was a member of the student council. He also perused an
advanced mathematics course in his final year at Ursinus. He graduated in 1925 and was
the class Valedictorian.

He obtained a Master of Science in Education, University of Pennsylvania in 1941, and a

Doctor of Education in 1949. Fred also graduated from Harleys Studio for Music, East
Greenville, in Piano. He was the regular organist at St. Marks Lutheran Church.

After graduation, Fred was a teacher and dean of the Perkiomen School, Pennsburg,
Pennsylvania from 1925 to 1943. He was a member of faculty of Lafayette College,
Easton, PA. from 1943-1946 and 1948 to 1967, professor of education, head department
from 1957 to 1967 and director of the summer session from 1954 to 1967.

On August 30, 1933, he married Arline Albitz. He and his wife had one child, a son,
Edward Arland, born April 25, 1939.

Fred died on September 24, 1967, at the age of 63. It is not known when his wife, Arline,
died.

142. CLAUDE VERNON ROEDER (great-grandson of the immigrant, Johann Stiefel)

Claude Vernon was born on July 10, 1915. He is the great-grandson of the immigrant,
Johann Jacob Stiefel. Claude married Rita Mae Kratzer about 1938. She was born about
1915. They resided in Philadelphia, Pa (Ward 35) in 1940 with their first son, David
William. Their second son, Michael Thomas, was born about 1942.

The first son, David William Roeder and his wife, Beatrice Ann Thompson, were on the
faculty at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. David received his Bachelor of
Science in Mathematics from the University of New Mexico in 1960, his Master's degree
from the University of California at Berkley in 1962 and his doctorate from the
University of California at Santa Barbara in June 1968. He began teaching at Dartmouth
College in September 1968 as a research Instructor and left in 1970 for Colorado College.

At Colorado College he specialized in mathematics-algebra and number theory. Soon his

interest in number theory resulted in an introductory course. Just a few years later, a
course in number theory was designed for the sophomore level. This course became the
signal course for mathematics majors: students wishing to become mathematics majors
were (and still are) required to take this course. Here the department taught the basics of
proof along with the perennially interesting theory of numbers.

In 1975, Roeder took over as chair of the department and proceeded to guide the
department through a period of great change. There was much turnover as some faculty
were denied tenure and some chose to move on. Over ten years, Roeder, in the words of
one Dean of the College, "showed much courage" in rebuilding the mathematics
department. He did so by relying on his characteristic thoroughness in any departmental
business from hiring new faculty to rearranging the curriculum. This same thoroughness
sometimes crept into his informal conversation where he was so persistent in getting the
facts that the process became affectionately known as "being Roedered." When he turned
the chair over (in 1985) to the next in line, Steven Janke, the department's reputation
college-wide was at an all time high.
Roeder also realized the increasing importance of computer science in a liberal arts
mathematics department. In 1986, a year after leaving the chair of the department, he
attended one of the first IFRICS programs (Institute For Retraining In Computer Science)
held at Clarkson University in New York. Over two summers, the institute presented the
basics of computer science to experienced mathematicians. After this program, Roeder
regularly taught computer science courses.
Starting with the 2000-2001 academic year, Dave Roeder was officially retired from the
college with 30 years of service. In keeping with the current college options, Dave chose
to accept "senior status" during which he teaches one or two courses a year as needed in
the department.

1929 when she was 21.

Florence married Thomas Norberg in 1933. In 1940, she and her husband resided in
Philadelphia, PA with their one year old son, Thomas. According to the Social Security
Death Index (SSDI), a Thomas Norberg born April 8, 1905 died in Florida in January
1953. I have not proven that this Thomas is the spouse of Florence Fosbenner.

Florence's photo appears below when she was about 16, circa 1924

149. Viola Fosbenner (great-granddaughter of the immigrant, Johann Jacob Stiefel)

Viola was born in 1913. As noted above, her mother died in 1925 when Viola was 12
years old and her father was killed in 1929. She lived with her grandmother, Fredericka
(nee Stiefel) Fosbenner until she married in 1934 at the age of 21. Her husband was
Walter T. Moore, born about 1911 in Pennsylvania. In 1940, they were living in
Philadelphia (Ward 41) with their two children, Elaine born about 1935 and Wayne C.
born about 1936.

I have not been able to determine Viola's or Walter's death dates or their burial locations.

Below is a photo of Viola when she was about 12 years old, circa 1924

191. Mary Rita Frank (2nd great-granddaughter of the immigrant, Johann Jacob
Stiefel)

Mary Rita was born on July 1, 1916, in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Her father was
the son of Caroline (nee Stiefel) Frank.

Mary Rita married Murray Edwin Deming on October 14, 1939, in Chicago, Cook
County, Illinois. Murray was the son of Joseph Deming and Claire Murray. He was born
on October 3, 1912, in Baltimore, Maryland. His father, Joseph, was born in England and
his mother in Maryland.

Mary and Murray had six children: Joseph W. born 1940, William T. born 1942, Phyllis
B. born 1945, Susan M. born 1947, John M. born 1949 and Edward M. born 1953.

On a trip to Pennsylvania, Murray Deming died on February 15, 1984, in Jefferson, PA.
He was 72 years old. According to a family member, he was cremated in Baltimore and
his ashes were spread in the Potomac River.

The Social Security Death Index as shown on the next page has Murray's last place of
residence in Hamilton, Ohio. It also lists his birth location as Illinois. The 1920 and
1940 Censuses, however, have his birth location in Maryland. Since Murray's parents
and siblings were living in Baltimore, this is probably why he was cremated in Baltimore
after his death in Pennsylvania.

Mary Rita died 21 years after her husband passed on January 16, 2005, in Chicago, Cook
County, Illinois. She was 89. I have not been able to find her burial location.

Elizabeth (a.k.a. Eliese) Mller

daughter of
Johannes Mller and Anna Catherine Sophie Kruger

Johannes and his wife Anna Catherine Sophie (nee Kruger) Mller and their children
Eliese, Karl and Sophia, immigrated to America in 1860 when Eliese was 18 years of
age. Eliese was born June 29, 1842 in Nieste, Kurhessen, Germany. The oldest daughter,
Maria, came to America prior to her parents. Her obituary reported she immigrated in
1856*. Maria married Christian Steifel, making Christian Eliese's brothter-in-law.
After arriving in America, Eliese spend some time in Philadelphia and in Pittsburg as a
domestic. In 1862, Eliese migrated by covered wagon with her parents to reside on a
farm about five miles northeast of Garber, Iowa on the Garnavillo-Garber road.
At the age of 27, Eliese married Frederick Roggman on July 11, 1869. They were
married by Rev. Seifert at Clayton Centre, Iowa. Five children were born to them:
Charles married to Anna Kregel, residing in Garnavillo; John, Amelia and Lucia, at
home; Melinda died in infancy, Oct. 20, 1881 at the age of eight months and eight days.
Frederick was a Civil War veteran. He served in Company D, 27th Iowa Volunteer
Infantry.
After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Roggman lived on a farm near Clayton Centre, later
moved to Dallas County, Iowa, where they continued farming near Van Meter, the place
Mrs. Roggman visited five years ago, when she, her daughter, and Mrs. John Wirkler
were on their way home from a visit to Mrs. Sommerlad at Salesburg, Mo., to see the old
home once more as well as many of the old time acquaintances brought tears of joy to
her.

______________________________________________________________________
*The Clayton County Register, January 5, 1928, edition reported that Eliese immigrated
when she was 18, making the immigration year 1860. The Register also reported that
her, sister, Maria, immigrated two years earlier, making Maria's immigration in 1858.
However, the Register in 1933 printed Maria's obituary and reported, " At the age of 16
years she (Maria) came to America alone." Since Maria was born in 1840, the obituary
indicated she would have immigrated in 1856, not 1858 as reported by the Register in
1928. I tend to believe she immigrated in1858 at the age of 18.

36
Eliese's son, Charles John Roggman-born May 26, 1870 and died May 1, 1942) married
Anna Margaretha Kregel who was born in 1868 and died in 1943. Their son, Arnold
Dietrich Roggrman born in 1903 lived to be 100 years old.

Mrs. Eliese Roggman was left a widow June 7, 1882. Her husband's death followed
closely that of her beloved brother Karl, and daughter Melinda, all within a year's time.
They are buried at the Garnavillo Community Cemetery, Clayton County, Iowa.

The following narrative is from The Clayton County Register, Elkader, Iowa, Thursday,
January 5, 1928, p. 3. "Mrs. (Elizabeth, a.k.a. Eliese) Roggman always had enjoyed good
health and endurance until the past year. Medical aid seemingly restored her. At
Christmas time she was taken ill with a light attack of the flu. On Tuesday evening she
listened with interest to the music of Christmas Carols and even joined in singing of
"Stille Nacht, Heilge Nacht."

On the following evening a severe attack of nausea seized her and greatly reduced her
vitality. Although seemingly revived on the following day, in fact brighter and showing
more interest in affairs of the home than she had for several days, she was taken suddenly
with a stroke that brought about the end almost instantly on Thursday, Dec.
29th, at 3 o'clock p.m. She was rational to the last. Her days numbered 85
years and six months.
She was a real mother and friend, sweet, gentle, kind and loving. She lived a life of
service, not only to her family and kin but to everyone who she had occasion to serve.
She was always grateful for every little favor done for her and for kindly surprises. Even
during her illness, she expressed appreciation for loving care, made apology for causing
anxiety and expressed regret at not having been able to do more for her family and
friends. That same unselfish spirit rules all her life, no one could help but love her after
being in her presence ever so short a time.
The memory of her exemplary Christian life leaves a lovely heritage. She was a devoted
member of St. Paul's Lutheran church and a charter member of the Ladies Aid. She is
survived her four children, two grandchildren, Arnold, married to Laverne Meyer,
residing at Elkader, and Bernadene at home; one sister Mrs. Mary (nee Mller) Stiefel of
Garber, besides other relatives and a host of friends.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. K. Wm. Braun at St. Paul's church. Burial was
made in the family lot in the new cemetery (Garnavillo Community Cemetery, Clayton
County, Iowa). Floral tributes were many and beautiful, in keeping with her life-long
love and admiration of flowers."

 Descendants of Johann Jacob Stiefel

Generation 1
1. JOHANN JACOB1 STIEFEL was born on 08 May 1798 in Unterderdingen, Wuerttemberg, Germany.
He died on 15 Sep 1864 in Springfield Twp., Bucks Co., PA. He married Catharina Margaretha
Weisert, daughter of Johann Jacob Weisert and Eva Margaretha (Lang) Long, on 24 Jan 1821 in
Unterderdingen, Wuerttemberg, Germany. She was born on 15 Jan 1802 in Unterderdingen,
Wuerttemberg, Germany. She died on 26 May 1866 in Springfield Twp., Bucks Co., PA.

Notes for Johann Jacob Stiefel:

In the book, Germans to America 1850-1878, page 79 of Vol. 5, the Stiefel family was recorded as
emigrating on the ship "Mountaineer". They left from Harve (a French seaport) and arrived in New
York on August 18, 1854. Jacob Stiefel, his wife Catharine and 7 children (3 males and 4 females)
were listed. Two daughters, Johanna and Elizabeth, were not listed. According to an extract from
the town council meeting of Derdingen dated Feb. 8, 1854, both Elizabetha (b. Aug 5, 1830) and
Johanna (b. Aug 5, 1830) emigrated together prior to their parents.

According to another extract from the town council meeting of Derdingen dated May 29, 1854, the
five daughters that emigrated with their parents were Catharina b. Nov 5, 1824, Christina b. July
19, 1838, Jacobine b. Oct 24, 1840, Karoline b. Feb 20, 1843 and Friederike b. Oct 4, 1845. I
believe the book Germans to America 1850-1878, page 79 of Vol. 5, incorrectly recorded the male
Christian as one of the emigrating children. It should have been a female, Christiane, which would
be consistent with the town council meeting record of Derdingen dated May 29, 1854. The age
given in the book for this child was 16 which agrees with the birth year 91838) for the female
Christiane.

The other two male children listed on the 1854 emigration list were Wilhelm, 7, and Jacob, infant.
According to information from Stiefel descendants in Iowa, Jacob and Wilhelm listed on the 1854
emigration record were sons of Catharina Stiefel. According to the extract from the town council
meeting of Derdingen dated May 29, 1854, Jacob and Wilhelm were the illegitimate sons of
Catharina. Jacob's birth was given as March 3, 1846 and Wilhelm's as July 27, 1853. Thus,
Wilhelm was the infant, not Jacob. After emigrating in 1854, Catharina married Michael Hiller in
1858. It is assumed that these two children lived with Michael and Catharina.

The church records that recorded Johanna and Christiana Stiefel's deaths noted that they had 2
brothers and 6 sisters. The emigration record as noted above listed 3 males, Christian, Jacob and
Wilhelm. As noted above, I believe the emigration record in the book was wrong. The child listed
as a male, Christian, was a female, Christiana. The last two, Jacob and Wilhelm, however, were
Catharina Stiefel's children.

The IGI FGR listed four males, one died in Germany at the age of 7 months and one was stillborn.
Thus, only two survived-Christian and Johann Jacob. The IGI FGR listed eight females. One,
however, died in Germany at the age of 10. I believe the FGR supports the church records noted
above, that is two brothers and six sisters (a total of seven females) survived.

John Jacob and his wife, Catharine M., were members of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran church in
Zion Hill, Springfield Twp., Bucks Co., Pa. Both Jacob and Catharine were listed as
"communicants" at the church in 1857. A daughter, Elizabeth, was a communicant on May 30,
1856. Their children, Christian and Jacob, Jr., were recorded as "communicants" on Nov. 11,
1857. Caroline and Catherine were communicants on April 1, 1858 and Jacobina (Benah) and
Christiana on April 2, 1859. Johanna (Hannah) was recorded as a communicant with her husband,
Lewis Gretzinger. The remaining child, Fredericka, was not listed.

John Jacob and his wife , Catharine, were buried in the cemetery behind the Zion Evangelical
Lutheran Church. Their tombstones are in the fourth row of the cemetery directly behind the
church.

Note: Jane Hartwich's Aunt Ceil was married to Ray Miller whose grandmother was Ellen (Bealer)
Harner and whose great-grandmother was Jacobine (Stiefel) Bealer.

Notes for Catharina Stiefel:

According to information from Stiefel descendants in Iowa, the infant Jacob and Wilhelm, age 7,
listed on the 1854 emigration record were sons of Catharina Stiefel. It appears that these children
were born in Germany. It is not known if their father died or if Catharina divorced him (they may
also be out of wed lock children). After emigrating in 1854, Catharina married Michael Hiller in
1858. It is not known if these two children lived with Michael and Catharina.

Catharina Stiefel had the following children:

14. i. JACOB3 STIEFEL was born on 03 Mar 1846 in Unterderdingen, Wuerttemberg,

 Generation 2 (con't)
Notes for Johann Jacob Stiefel:
Jacob, Sr. lived at 2933 Cambridge St., Phila, Pa. which was his son's, Jacob, Jr., residence at the
time of his death.

His death notice invited the following organizations to his funeral: Humbolt Beneficial Society No. 1
and the Barbarosa Beneficial Society No. 1. It appears that Jacob was a member of these
societies.

Jacob was buried at the Glenwood Cemetery, 25th and Glenwood Ave. (Section K, Lot 186),
Phila., Pa. on May 7, 1899. Buried in the same lot were his wife and four children. The cemetery,
however, was moved to Broomall, Delaware County in 1938. The cemetery records note that
Jacob and his family were re-interred on August 30, 1938, in Section K, Lot 159 of the Glenwood
cemetery in Broomall, 2321 West Chester Pike. Other family members buried in this plot were:
Fredericka (Jacob's wife)-age 78, Frank-age 15, George-19 months, Leona-age 3 years, and
Charles-age 1 month.

The Glenwood Cemetery records indicate that the owner of the Stiefel burial plot was Henry
Kunzig. The cemetery administrator advised that Kunzig was a funeral director who owned a
number of plots in the Philadelphia Glenwood Cemetery.

Also buried in Section K of the Glenwood Cemetery, Lot 230 was another Stiefel family. The family
members in this lot are: Frederick-buried May 31, 1880, age 37; Emma-buried February 8, 1878,
age 48; Emma-buried August 13, 1873, age 3 months; Anna-buried April 10, 1876, age 6 weeks;
Ernst-buried September 1, 1878, age 5 years; Frederick-buried November 9, 1879, age 1 month;
and Rosa-buried February 25, 1886, age 5 months. The owner of this lot was Michael Stiefel. A
connection of this family to our Stiefel line has not been established.
Notes for Fredricka (Lang) Long:
Fredericka's obituary published in the newspaper listed her surname as "Lang".
Peggy George's Family Group Sheet received 8/19/98 also recorded her surname as "Lang".
Some records recorded the name as "Long".

The coroner's certificate listed her residence as 2933 Cambridge Street (Ward 29), Philadelphia,
Pa.

Notes for Charles Stiefel:
[.]

If the birth date for Charles is correct, that is 1881, his mother, Fredericka, would
have been 53 years old at the time of his birth. Charles, therefore, may not be her
son. He could have been a grandson.
7. JOHANNA (HANNAH)2 STIEFEL (Johann Jacob1) was born on 04 Aug 1830 in Unterderdingen,
Wuerttemberg, Germany (Bur. Row 9). She died on 11 Jun 1914 in Bucks Co., Trumbauersville,
PA. She married Lewis (Groezinger) Gretzinger, son of Johann Ludwig Groezinger and Christina
Margareth Buehl, on 06 Aug 1854 in Milford Township, Bucks County, PA, by Rev. William B.
Kaemmer. He was born on 16 Jan 1819 in Reutlingen, Wurttemberg, Germany. He died on 11
May 1904 in Bucks Co., Trumbauersville, PA.

Notes for Johanna (Hannah) Stiefel:

In an extract from the minutes to the Town Council of Derdingen, Germany dated February 9,
1854, Johanna and her sister, Elizabeth, were recorded as planning to emigrate. Their father,
Johann Jacob, was in agreement with his daughters' intent and gave them each 77 Gulden (worth
about $50 today) travel money, as well as the means for sustenance. The minutes also recorded
that he and his daughters signed the immigration documents.
Notes for Lewis (Groezinger) Gretzinger:
Lewis (Ludwig) emigrated from Reutlingen, Germany and arrived in the port of New York on May
28, 1848. His naturalization papers are on file at the Bucks County Historical Library.

I obtained Family Registers from the National Church Archive in Stuttgart which identified Lewis'
parents, his grandparents, his great-grandparents, his 2nd great-grandparents and his 3rd
great-grandfather.

He became a member of the Zion Evan. Luth. Ch., Springfield Twp., Bucks Co., Pa. He was
recorded as a communicant at the church on May 9, 1854.

married Maria (Mueller) Miller, daughter of Johannes (Mueller) Miller and Anna Elisabeth (Sophia
?) Kruger, on 03 Oct 1859 in St. Paul's Luth Ch., Montgomery Co., Red Hill, PA. She was born on

Notes for Christian Stiefel:

The passenger list included Christian as emigrating in 1854. His age, however, was recorded as
16 making his birth year 1838. 1860 Census data for Milford Twp., Bucks Co., Pa. gives his age
as 26, making his birth year 1834. This difference is not resolved.

Christian and his wife migrated by covered wagon to Clayton Co., Iowa about 1860. Clayton
County is in the northeast corner of Iowa bordering with Wisconsin. By 1860, there were 30,000
miles of railroad, and the transcontinental railroad was completed nine years later. But the RR
fares prior to 1870 were out of reach for the average person. This may have been the reason that
Christian and the Muellers had to use covered wagons.

It is estimated that covered wagons traveled about 8 to 20 miles per day depending on the terrian
and weather. Using an estimate of 10 miles per day to cover the distance between Bucks Co., PA
and Clayton Co., Iowa of 845 miles, it would have taken the family about three months to make
their trip in a covered wagon.

In the 1900 Iowa census, Christian's occupation was listed as "capitalist". It also noted that one of
the six children had died.

Why did Cristian leave Pennsylvania? In an email dated 10/13/2013 from Jim O'Sullivan
(Christian's 2nd great-grandfather), the Germans had "clearing houses" around the USA that kept
tabs on land openings. Christian and his (future) father-in-law, according to Marie Knoernschild
Adams, went out and looked at land in Wisconsin and Iowa and decided on Iowa. They went back
to Pennsylvania to get the women and returned to homestead.

Notes for Maria (Mueller) Miller:

Obituary-The Clayton County Register
Elklader, Iowa 1933 (received from Marita (nee Deming) Koch 71/19/2013)

Mrs. Maria Stiefel, a resident of Clayton County for more than 70 years, died while visiting at the
home of her nephew, John Roggman, at Garnaville, on Sunday night, August 6th, after an illness
of a month's duration.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. B. Harder, in English and by Rev. K. W. Braun in
German, at the Roggman residence, Wednesday forenoon at 10 o'clock, and by Rev. Hunger at
the Lutheran an Evangelical church at Garber in the afternoon a 2 o'clock. Interment was made in
Mt. Harmony cemetery, southwest of Elkport.

 Generation 2 (con't)

Mrs. Stiegel, nee Mueller, was born at Nieste (about 160 miles north of Stuttgart), Kurhessen,
Germany, Dec. 6, 1840. She was the eldest child of Johannes Muller and his wife, nee Sophia
Krueger. Hers was a Christian home, the influence of which she cherished throughout he life.

At the age of 16 years (would have been in 1856) she came to America alone. The voyage on a
sailing vessel required four weeks. Pork and beans, hard-tack, potatoes with jackets and herring
constituted the main fare on board. Because of insufficient number of passengers, the vessel
landed at New York harbor instead of Philadelphia, its intended destination. This handicapped
some of the passengers, who expected to be received by friends in Philadelphia. She without
money, Mrs. Stiefel and others similarly situated were stranded. Optimistic kinsmen, seeing their
distress, said: "Why weep? You ought to rejoice, for you are now in America!"

Eager for adventure and exercising faith and that indominatable will so characteristic of Mrs.
Stiefel, she soon established herself in this country. Finding it to her liking, she encouraged her
parents, brother and sisters to come across. In the meantime, she was married to Christian Stiefel,
at Spinnersville, Pa. (probably Spinnerstown, Milford Township, Bucks Co.) Oct. 8, 1859 (she
would have been 19 years old). Together the couple had been to Clayton county for a brief period
of farming in Jefferson township, and had returned to the East before being joined by home folks
from Germany. They all journeyed to the Mid West to reside. Mr. and Mrs. Stiefel engaged in
farming for about 22 years in Volga township and then retired to Garber, where they lived
contentedly for 40 years.

In the year 1909 they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, with all the living children and
grandchildren present. They also celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Three years later the
home was saddened by the death of the husband and father on April 26, 1923. Since that time
Mrs. Stiefel has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Conrad Schnepf of Graber, and Mrs.
Herman Knoernschild of Dubuque.

She leaves bereft five daughters: Mrs. Melinda Schnepf of Graber, Mrs. Mary Kingery of Buhl,
Idaho, Mrs. Carolyn Frank of Chicago, Ill; Mrs. Sophia Cuthbert of Milwaukee, Wis., Mrs. Lucy
Knoernschild of Dubuque; also 18 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. A twin daughter,
Lizzie, died at the age of 4 and 1/2 years of diphtheria.

Mrs. Stiefel was the last remaining member of her parents family, her brother Karl having died in
1882, her father several years later, her mother in 1894, her sister, Mrs. Eliese Roggman of
Garnaville in 1927, her sons-in-law, Wm. Kingery in 1917, J. Cuthbert in 1925, J. Frank in 1928,
Conrad Schnepf in 1931; also her brothers-in-law, Frederick Roggman in 1882 and Peter Bahr in
1923, and sisters-in laws, Mrs. Karl Mueller-Hildebrand in 1932.

Mrs. Stiefel was an admirer and lover of nature in all seasons of the year. Her home was
surrounded by flowers of every size, color and description. Many a heart was gladdened in joy and
in sorrow by her generous distribution of them. The floral offerings at her funeral were many and
beautiful, a fitting tribute to her for her life-long love of flowers.

There are not many who attain an age of 92 years, eight months, who find interest in a changing
world and try to adjust themselves to modern trends for the sake of those about them, as she did
Mrs. Stiefel. The happiness and comfort of others meant much to her. To please her daughters
and grandchildren, she made a trip to Chicago, Oak Park, Evanston, and Milwaukee last summer.
On her birthday, December last, she heartily joined in the celebration tendered by her daughters,
nieces and nephews. She was happier to minister than to be ministered onto. Her goal was not
one that could be reached by a path of roses but one that meant pain, sorrow and hardships. She
seemed to have a divine insight into the needs of people and with her tireless energy changed
circumstances, and like an angel of mercy healed wounds, dried tears, and bade all stretch to
things eternal. She struggled and labored, as well we do, to learn the truth. Her Christian
character and sympathetic nature always brought inspiration and a good word that left us feeling
we ought to be better folks than we are.

 Generation 2 (con't)
we ought to be better folks than we are.

She goes to her eternal reward at a ripe old age, loved and respected by all who knew her.

Schnepf of Garber, Mrs. Carolyn Frank and Miss Ina Kingery of Chicago, Mrs. Sophia Cuthbert of
Milwaukee, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Knoernschild, daughter Marie and sons Louis and Harold of
Dubuque, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bricker and sons Jack and Bob of Oak Part, Ill, John Bahr and son

52).

Elizabeth died on February 20th at the age of 81. From an undated newspaper clipping found by
Peggy George in Glenn George's grandfather's (probably Charles H. Weidner) Bible, her obituary
read, "Pfender-Feb. 20, Elizabeth, widow of late Xavier Pfender (nee Stiefel), aged 81. Relatives
and friends, members of Home Dept. and Ladies' Society of Zion Presbyterian Church, invited to
funeral, Sat. 2 P.M., 2938 Cambridge St. Interment MT. Peace Cem. Remains may be viewed Fri,

living in June 1900.
Notes for Xavier Pfender:
Xaviar became a member of St. John's Evan. Luth. Ch., Richlandtown, on April 2, 1858 (source:
Peggy George's Family Group Record 599 (received 8/19/98).

On Nov. 7, 1892, Xavier purchased a cemetery plot at Mt. Peace Cemetery., Phila., Pa. (Deed
3993, Section R, lot 402). Prior to this purchase, a number of bodies were moved from the
Glenwood Cemetery, Phila, Pa. to Mt. Peace. The cemetery records identified the bodies as
Emma, Mamie, John, Elizabeth, Mary Pfender. They were re-interred on this lot at Mt. Peace on
March 28, 1891. It appears that they may have been the parents of Xavier and other relatives.

Also buried in this lot were Freda Pfender, buried 9/15/1895-cause of death diphtheria, age 9
months and Lousia Pfender, buried 7/3/1903-cause of death cholera inflammation, age 2 1/2 years.
These girls were probably daughters of one or more of the sons to Xavier and Elizabeth.

Another body in this plot was Charles Leonard Abrahamson, Jr. who was buried on Feb. 17, 1926,
cause of death congenial syp., age 20 days. The relationship of this boy to the Pfenders is not

He and his wife were buried at Northwood Cemetery, 15th & Haines Sts., Phila, Pa. They were
buried in the "Forest" section of the cemetery, Lot 198. Also in this lot are William and Harry J.
Stiefel. I believe them to be Jacob's sons.

There is another Harry J. Stiefel buried in Lot 198 who died in 1932. I believe that he was the son
of Harry J. Stiefel who died in 1904.

Jacob's death notice invited the following organizations to his funeral: Loyal Council, No. 781, Jr.,

Notes for Maryann S. Gretzinger:

Mary's given name inscribed on her tombstone was "Mary A." Her given name in the family Bible
was recorded as "Maryann".

Mary's undertaker was Elmer C. Shull. Mary's son, William G. Moyer, married Laura May Shull. It
appears that a relative of Mary's daughter in-law was an undertaker.
Notes for Henry H. (Meyer) Moyer:
The Undertaker for Henry's death was E. C. Shull of 1830 E. Somerset St., Phila, Pa. Henry's son,
William (aka Will), was married to Laura Shull. E. C. Shull was undoubtedly a relative to Will's wife,
Laura (Source: Death Certificate for Henry H. Moyer).

Henry's home at 2131 Fairhill Street was about 2 miles north east of the residence of Jacob Stiefel
in north Philadelphia.
Henry H. (Meyer) Moyer and Maryann S. Gretzinger had the following children:

Notes for Laura May (Shull) Scholl:

Henry wrote the specifications for the home he had built at 50 N. Main Street, Trumbauersville,
which he used as his residence. The same specifications were used for a home built at 201 E.
Broad Street, Trumbauersville. This home was used by his sister, Caroline, and her husband,
Charles Weidner.

His occupation was "Cigar Maker". At the turn of the century, a good cigar maker could earn about

His occupation was "Cigar Maker". At the turn of the century, a good cigar maker could earn about

Henry S. Gretzinger and Ellamanda A. Hoff had the following children:
+79. i. CHARLES H.4 GRETZINGER was born on 14 May 1886 in Bucks Co., Trumbauersville,

31. CAROLINE (CARRIE) S.3 GRETZINGER (Johanna (Hannah)2 Stiefel, Johann Jacob1 Stiefel) was born
on 10 Dec 1858 in Bucks Co., Trumbauersville, PA. She died on 09 Jul 1933 in Bucks Co.,
Trumbauersville, PA. She married Charles Henry Weidner Sr., son of Henry Edwin Weidner and
Mary Amanda Allabaugh, on 17 Nov 1883. He was born on 21 Apr 1856 in Flourtown, Montgomery
Co., PA. He died on 09 Oct 1945 in Bucks Co., Trumbauersville, PA.

Notes for Caroline (Carrie) S. Gretzinger:

After the death of Caroline's (Carrie) mother-in-law, Mary A. (nee Alabough) Weidner on 1899, she
was appointed trustee of Mary's will and received the proceeds from the sale of Mary's property.
She received $1,329.51. It appears that she invested this money in various properties. On
November 1, 1900, she bought a property in Quakertown, located on the east side of Hellertown
Ave., from Israel Weikel. She sold this property on July 3, 1903, to Albert J. Weiss.

On January 16, 1902, Carrie bought another property in Quakertown, located on the south side of
Broad Street between 6th and 7th Streets, owned by William and Emma Wenner. She sold this
property on March 28, 1903, to Minnie Transue.

In Trumbauersville, she bought a property on North Main Street near the cemetery from Seraphin
Shup(e) on January 1, 1896. I believe this was the property where her family lived along with her
sister's family, Catharine Nace, and her parents, Lewis and Hannah Gretzinger. The 1900 census
recorded these family members were living together in Trumbauersville.

Carrie sold this Trumbauersville property on April 2, 1902, to Charles Dubbs. About that time,
Carrie and her family moved into a new home that was built at 201-203 East Broad Street,
Trumbauersville.
Notes for Charles Henry Weidner Sr.:
Charles began his adult life as a farmer who used his spare time in the winter months to make
brooms. Demand became so great that he quit farming and devoted full time to broom making. He
lived at 125 N. Main St. but later moved to 201 E. Broad St.

The 1900 census recorded that he and his family lived in Trumbauersville. This may have been
the home at 125 N. Main St. The census also recorded that living next to (probably in the same
house as it was a double) Charles was Mrs. Oswin Nace (nee Catharine Gretzinger) and her
family. Catharine's husband, Oswin, died in 1898. Also living with Catharine was her mother,
Hannah Gretzinger, and her father, Lewis Gretzinger.

Mary attended her mother's funeral in Aug. 1932. The obit listed her from Buhl, Idaho.

Buhl was founded on April 17, 1906. It was named for Frank H. Buhl of Sharon, Pennsylvania, a
major investor in a Carey Act project known as the Twin Falls South Side project, which introduced
large-scale irrigation to the Magic Valley in the early 20th Century.

Buhl is a city located on the old Oregon Trail in the western half of Twin Falls County, Idaho, United
States. The population was 4,122 at the 2010 census, up from 3,985 in 2000. It is part of the Twin
Falls Micropolitan Statistical Area. The population in 1910 was 639, and in 1930 1,183.

Mary Stiefel mother, Mary Miller, was quite an adventurous woman to travel alone to America at a
young age. Her daughter, Mary Stiefel, also was adventurous. She married William O. Kingery in
1885 in Iowa. Her first two children, Edith-b.1887 and Ina-b.1889, were born in Iowa. Sometime
between 1889 and 1892, she and William moved to South Dakota where two children, Vera-b.1892
and Lloyd-b.1899, were born. Sometime between 1899 and 1905, she moved back to Iowa where
her daughter, Mildred, was born in 1906 (Mary E. Kingery is listed in the 1905 State Census for
Iowa, Lyon Co., Elgin Twp., PO Little Rock).

In 1915, I found Mary E. Kingery, married, in the State Census for South Dakota. Thus, after the
birth of Mildred in 1906, Mary and William moved back to South Dakota. In 1917 William Kingery
died. I have not been able to locate his burial location, but it may be in South Dakota.

In 1932, at age 70 years, Mary (nee Stiefel) Kingery attended her mother's funeral in Garber, Iowa.
The obit for Mary's mother indicated that Mrs. Mary Kingery was now in Buhl, Idaho (the distance
between Garber, IA and Buhl, ID is about 1500 miles, quite a distance to travel for a 70 year old in
1932). It appears that sometime after her husband's death in 1917, she moved to Idaho.

According to the genealogy of William Otto Kingery I found on the Church of the LDSs website, Ina
P. Kingery, Mary's daughter, died in 1950 in Buhl, ID. The same genealogy recorded Mary's death

P. Kingery, Mary's daughter, died in 1950 in Buhl, ID. The same genealogy recorded Mary's death
in 1937. Mary may have moved to Buhl after William's death to live with Ina, who appears to have
never married.

The Kingery genealogy also recorded Edith's (Mary's first daughter) marriage to Oscar Everson
who died in 1948 in Coeur d'Alene, ID and is buried there. I don't know in which cemetery

William Otto Kingery and Mary Elizabeth Stiefel had the following children:

 Generation 3 (con't)
Harry was the payroll clerk for Stead & Miller, upholstery manufactures at 4th & Cambridge Sts.
(Kensington section of Phila). On March 1, 1929, he was carrying a $1330 payroll to the
company's dye house at 2611 Bodine St., three blocks away. He was walking south on 4th St. at
about noon when he was accosted by two men. Witnesses said there was an exchange of a few
words after which one of the men drew a revolver and shot Harry. The bullet pierced his heart.
The second man grabbed the payroll sack and they both leaped into a waiting car and disappeared
around the corner on Somerset Street.

John Casso, age 23, of 2730 N. 4th St., took Harry to Episcopal Hospital where he was
pronounced dead.

The newspapers reported that police were looking for a man who was said to have threatened
Harry's life. Co-workers recalled that Harry was approached by two robbers one morning about
four weeks ago as he left his home.

The Phila. Inquirer newspaper (issue of March 2, 1929) gave Harry's age as 52. The Phila. Record
newspaper (issue of March 2, 1929) gave his age as 57. The 1900 census listed his age as 52.

The Record also listed Harry's brother, Frank age 54. It also reported that they were the support
for their aged mother, Fredericka Fausbenner (Fredericka's maiden name was Stiefel) and that
they lived with her at 4566 Worth Street (Frankford section of Phila). The Record reported that
Harry was survived by two daughters, Florence, 21, and Viola, 16.

Note that the family name was spelled "Fausbenner" in the newspaper, but spelled "Fosbenner" in
the 1900 census. In the 1910 and 1920 census, it was spelled "Fausbenner".

Also, in the 1910 census, a boarder was living with Harry's family. He was George Donohue, age
37, born in Pa. His father was born in Ireland and his mother in Pa.
Notes for Elizabeth Howell:
The Phila.Inquirer's story on March 2, 1929, about the hold-up and death of Harry Fausbenner
reported that Harry was a widower and that his wife died four years ago.

age of eighteen. He won his first race three years later at the 1930 Washingtonville, PA fair, driving
Slick Tass to a 2:17 win.

'52. He also won numerous driving titles at Batavia Downs and Buffalo Raceway during the

 Generation 4 (con't)
'52. He also won numerous driving titles at Batavia Downs and Buffalo Raceway during the
post-World War II years.

Respected as an excellent colt developer and a master driver with a keen sense of timing, Harner
was patronized for many years by fellow Hall of Famer and owner Ted Zornow, president of the
U.S. Trotting Association from 1970-1977. Together they campaigned such stars as 1969 Cane
Pace winner, Kat Byrd p,3,1:58.4h and Tar Boy p, 7, 1:58. With their win over Bye Bye Byrd and
Adios Butler in the 1960 Yonkers International Encore Pace, Levi Harner deemed Tar Boy his best
horse of all time.

Levi Harner was inducted into the Harness Racing Living Hall of Fame in 1985. In 1986, at age
seventy-seven, he recorded the last of his 2:00 victories, becoming one of the oldest drivers to do
so. He retired from driving in 1988 after winning more than $4 million and 2,574 races. At that time
this record placed him 66th on the all time list. Levi Harner died in his sleep on September 17,
1998 at the age of eighty-nine.
