H., age 37, Shoemaker BIOGRAPHY: The "Traer Star-Clipper" (Fri., Feb. 7, 1958, Trier, Tama Co., IA) newspaper has the following from an interview with Herman F. Blocker. "My father, Asmus Blocker, a native of Germany, who left that country for a new life in the United States, crossed the ocean in a sailing vessel, the voyage requiring 30 days. The wind was against the crew much of the way. The seas were infested with pirate ships at that time. One took after the ship on which my father was a passenger. It had one more sail than the pirate ship and it got away, but not until it had been chased far out of its course - somewhere between Florida and Cuba. Some of the passengers and crew contacted cholera on the trip. Several died, and their bodies buried at sea." However, there were no deaths annotated for the BlÃƒÂ¶ckers.	Hinrich Christian Bloecker

131	[schlotfeldt.FTW] [BrÃƒÂ¸derbund WFT Vol. 6, Ed. 1, Tree #3710, Date of Import: Jan 30, 2001] Hans owned the Denker Hotel & Saloon in Eldridge, Iowa. Pictures and articles of these landmarks are featured in the Eldridge Centennial book. The original hotel went down in the tornado and was rebuilt in 1908. The whole family worked in the facility. Bill & Ray worked as bartenders when they were old enough. Mae (Amanda) was a great cook and learned the art when preparing their family style meals. The hotel was still operating as a family style resturant in the late 1940s. It was still there in 1986 when grandson Fay Schlotfeldt delivered some old photos to the Wiese family who had put togeather the Centennial book. The depression and relocation of a highway, which the townsfolk didn't want close to town, caused sale of the business in about 1929. (After the crash). Hans lived with his youngest daughter Selma and husband Ernest at 310 E. 15th St, Davenport at the time of his death at age 73 (May '34). He enjoyed pulling Grandson Fay in his wagon or on his sled. Fay remembers sitting on the living room floor playing with blocks and seeing his granddad fall while shoveling a skiff of snow off the front porch. He called his dad who ran out to help him. Hans died of the result of a stroke.	Hans Asmus Denker

133	FANKHAUSER: TRUB. Fankhaus is the place name of a farm. The German verb fangen means to catch. This house is catched, that is to say surrounded by hills and forest, enclosed territory. - By Delbert Gratz ORIGIN OF NAME - VERSION 2 Heinz Fankhauser from Burgdorf... When fall comes, the farmers have to drive their animals down from the high pastures for the winter. There must have been some sort of stockade (or corrall) in Fankhaus Graben which pinned the cows and/or sheep and/or goats in until the various owners could sort out which belonged to whom. There must have been a house there for the fellow who maintained it. ORIGIN OF NAME - VERSION 3 Contributed by Frieda Funkhouser Wilson - FUNKHOUSER A SWISS-AMERICAN GENEALOGY (1364-1978) Copyright 1978 ...at the turn of the century the circulated story was that one of the Fankhauser ancestors "was an inspector of a prison or guard of prisoners. This story has been refuted. Cousin Hans Fankhauser says there are no jails or prisons in Trub for the one thing. Instead the name Fankhauser comes from the verb 'fangen' meaning 'to catch' (the bears). A 'fang' was a large pit for trapping the bears and other wild animals that threatened the crops and livestock of the families who lived in this valley in the Middle Ages. The trap tender lived in a 'Fanghus.' As a small community grew there, it took the name and the families there became Fankhausers."	Anna Fankhauser

135	Buried in Lester, IA Born in Finsteroth, Wurttemberg, Germany Immigrated to US on April, 30, 1896 -------------------- Excerpted from "The Feucht Family Record" dated ABT 1968 Carl Feucht, fifth child of Johann and Jacobena, was born in Finsteroth, Wurttemberg, Germany, on April 10, 1881. At the little village school, he received education until the age of fourteen. When not in school, he would be found helping in the garden and orchard on his parents small acreage. In 1895 (at the age of 14) he and his sister, Frieda, came to America and went to Schambach's in Elgin, 111. He farmed near Elgin for about nine years. On September 22, 1904, he married Emma Marie Knobloch at Elgin, 111. That same year, they moved to Stark, 111., and farmed here for about a year and a half. Then in the spring of 1906, they moved to Iowa and farmed south of Lester. They became members of the Apostolic Christian Church in September 1906. His wife, Emma, passed away suddenly at the age of 24 years, on February 15, 1907, leaving two small sons, Ernst (1^ years old) and Ben (1 week old). On February 18, 1908, he married Emma's older sister, Pauline Christine Knobloch. They farmed south of Lester and completely built the homestead. Thirteen children were born to this union. Both Carl and Pauline enjoyed traveling and entertaining and did a great deal of both. Carl passed away July 11, 194-9, after a lingering illness and on February 6, 1963, Pauline passed away. -------------------- From IAGenWeb Lyon County Genealogy Carl Feucht was born April 10, 1881 in Wurttenberg, Germany. At the age of 14, he and his sister came to America because of better living conditions and no military service for young men. Carl worked as a hired man in the Elgin, Illinois area. On September 22, 1904, he married Emma Marie Knobloch. Later that year, he moved to Stark, Illinois. He farmed for about a year and a half and on August 4, 1905, their first son, Ernst, was born. In the spring of 1906, they moved to Iowa and rented a farm 3 miles south and a Ã‚Â½ mile west of Lester. Ben was born February 8, 1907, and due to complications from his childbirth, Emma passed away on February 15, 1907. Carl remarried February 18, 1908, to EmmaÃ¢€â„¢s sister Pauline. A third son, Emil, was born on November 4, 1908. At this time he decided to homestead here and purchased 160 acres of prairie land 1 mile west and 1 3/4 miles south of Lester. He hired Theodore Goldsmith to build their home and farm buildings. Mr. Goldsmith lived with Carl and Pauline during the week and was a skilled carpenter as the barn frame was built with wooden pegs. The barn was destroyed by a fire on September 16, 1988. Carl hauled some of the lumber with team and wagon from Lou Chamberlain Lumber of Lester. By 1937 Carl owned and farmed a section of land. Over the years, they had horses, a few dairy cows, hogs, cattle, ducks, geese and chickens. Many times the chickens were dressed and sold in Sioux Falls to various eating places and sold to meat markets. The family butchered all of their own meat and this tradition is still carried on by some of the Feucht family. Carl enjoyed buying and selling horses to neighbors and horse buyers for use in the infantry during World War I. Some of the things they did in the area were custom corn shelling, threshing, witching for water and doing errands for others when Carl went to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Pauline enjoyed gardening, flowers and baking. Her favorites were breads and apple kuchen. For relaxation she did crocheting and other handwork.	Carl Albrecht Feucht

139	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. -----------------------	Johann Michael Martin Feucht

143	1895 Census confirms birth year. 1915 Iowa census shows an HL Garrels from Canaan, Henry Iowa at about the same age. It is possible he is a brother. He lists Germany as his birth place. Also listed in Henry, IA is an Albert L Garrels in 1930 census (about same age). Garrels were also present in Ireton, IA. The earliest known from 1839 could have been her mother. At least one of Hilka's children was born in Matlock, Sioux County, IA, which is very close to Ireton. Appears to be many Haans in the area as well, so this is likely the family that appears to be related to Hilka. 1880 Census shows a Harmon Garrels and siblings living with Weert and Sara Garrels in Franklin, Des Moines, IA. His birthplace is listed as Ostories Laduch. 1920 Census confirms German heritage. So does her obituary. It is unclear at this point the exact location from which Hilka immigrated. Census data and her obituary shows she came from Germany, and her name is spelled "Hilke", the German form. According to her obituary she is from the Emden area, Ostfriesland, Germany. Emden may have been her port of departure. Most German immigrants at that time came to the US through New Orleans. Lana Kratz, a decendent of Hilka, stated in an email that her mother told her that Hilka was from Emden. It is unknown as to where her mother received that information. It was possibly passed down from generation to generation. It is confirmed by information of Familysearch.org. There is another family from the same area (Theodorus Garrels and Hilke, or Hilka according to census, Harms) who came from Germany. Hilka came from Ostfriesland, but it is unclear the origin of Theodorus. In any case, their families have many similarities. Birth dates of the children are within 2 years from each other. Their childrens names are Trientje (Trina), Agnes (?), Harm, Elske (or Elka), Helen (Hilka). Theodorus and Hilke Harms were married in Parkersburg, Butler County, IA. You will find Haan's and Garrels both in that county. In fact, there was a Bena Garrels born in Emden who immigrated with her parents, Jacob Sluiter and Anna Garrels. From Appledorn genealogy: [387] Theodorus Garrels married Hilke Heren Harms in 1885. Mrs. Garrels was born Hilke Heren in Ogle County, llinois. Her parents died when she was very young and she lived with the Wesley Harms family. At the age of eight 8 moved with her foster parents to near Parkersburg, Iowa where she lived for many years. Here she met Mr. Garrels. They were married and soon after that moved to Lyon County. The Garrels farmed until they retired to George many years later.
