    Carl Jahn was born on May 22, 1843, in Munich Pomerian, Germany. He came to America in 1870 and settled in the Chicago, Illinois, area. He had been rejected by the army because he was too small, so he felt free to come even at the outbreak of the war. His wife, Bertha Krause, was born on July 12, 1854, in Sanskow Berlin, Germany. She also immigrated to Chicago, Illinois. They were married on October 17, 1875. In 1878, they and their two daughters, Amelia and Louise, arrived in Hanover Township, Section 21.
