| 2855 | Amos Rudolf Ludwig Moll (1836 - 1917) Amos Rudolf Ludwig Moll was born on October 13, 1836, in Rothen Klempnow, Prussia, or what is now known as the norhteast corner of (East) Germany. His father, Ludwig Wilhelm Moll, was a carpenter, and his mother was Christine Frederike Charolotte Herzfeld. At the time of his birth he had a seven year old sister, by the name of Bertha Christine Albertine Emilie Moll. Three years later his parents had another son, which they named Johannes. Amos and his family were a part of the group of Lutheran immigrants who left Prussia, and came to the U.S. in 1843. Amos was six years old at the time. He traveled from his home in Rothen Klemnow by boat to Hamburg with his parents, his sister Bertha, then fourteen, and his brother, Johannes, three years old. Together with 137 other passengers, he left for New York, aboard the bark Kammonham Roy on June 20, 1843. The 59 day trip was spent with much seasickness and hymn singing. All Lutherans coming to America in 1843 were steerage passengers; that is, they were quartered below the main deck in a large open area that was not subdivided by partitions. Wooden sleeping bunks were stacked three deep along the sides. Limited cooking could be done in one corner of the steerage deck. The cost of the trip from Hamburg to New York for steerage passengers was about 27 taler (dollars). Amos' mother was pregnant at the time, and on July 18th, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Maria Theresa. The arrival date of the Kammonham Roy to New York City was August 18, 1843. The Lutheran group did not stay here more than a day or two, since there was no established reception center or formal immigration service, and things in New York City were expensive. They were also unaccustomed to the noise and bustle of the big city, especially since they knew no English. The group took a boat down the Erie Canal to Buffalo, where the families were taken to a settlement house, prepared by Lutheran families already living in Buffalo. These new families organized themselves into a Lutheran Evangelical Association. They decided to purchase 2120 acres in Wheatfield, Niagara County. The settlement was called New Bergholz. It was divided into 121 one-acre building lots and a public square and church property. Each male member of the Associatin, age 21 and over, received one of the 121 parcels in the village. The selection was entirely by lot, so that no one would have unfair advantage. Amos' father owned farm lot #83. The cost ranged from 9 to 15 dollars depending on the location. Contrary to the practice then prevalent in Prussia, where all homes were located inside the village, many Bergholz settlers chose to build their homes on land they had acquired outside the village. This was part of an economic plan by which they also cleared their vacant village lots of trees and underbrush. Several yeras later they sold these lots to the newly arrived Lutheran immigrants from Prussia. The village lots which had cost them an average of 12 dollars now netted tham 80 to 100 dollars each. In this way the poorer families were able to pay back the travel money they had borrowed and also pay off what they owed for the land they bought. Because of these dealings, however, by 1859 only 9 of the original 121 village lots were still occupied by the same settlers who had owned them in 1843. In 1859 Amos was 23 years old. That year, on November 30, in the Holy Ghost Church of Bergholz, New York, he married Justine Marie Beccue, age 22, also from Bergholz, New York. Justine was born in Prussia, to Peter Beccue and Maria Westphal. Her family had immigrated to the U.S. in 1857. However, only her mother landed on U.S. shores because her father died of cholera enroute to America and was buried at sea. On May 11, 1861 Justine gave birth to their first daughter, Albertine Marie, in New Bergholz, New York. Because of the continued migration of Prussian Lutherans to Western New York, available farmland became so limited that by the mid-1850s many families were seeking land for settlement in states farther west. Several families moved at this time to Michigan. As the Lutheran population in Western New York increase, so did the disunity caused by Pastor Grabau's domineering conduct of the Buffalo Synod. Grabau, as head of the Synod, had chosen to run church matters in the strict manner of a European bishop. He claimed absolute authority which extended even to the personal lives of church members. While his purpose was to safeguard doctrinal purity, his administration practices caused increasing tension in the congregations. Serious conflicts erupted in 1859 when Grabau required his pastors to have each of their church members contribute "a cent a month" to the Buffalo Synod treasury. This levy was to help pay off the remaining debt on the Martin Luther Seminary building which Grabau had erected in Buffalo five years before. Many congregation members bitterly objected to what they considered a tax imposed by Grabau. Besides the increasing church dissension, New York residents also felt a growing anxiety over the slavery issue. The secret Underground Railway actiivties which helped slaves escape to Canada were going on along the Niagara River only a few miles away. Also, talk of an impending Civil War disturbed especially those parents whose sons were of military service age. These concerns added to the feeling of general unrest among the farm families who lacked sufficient usable land, intensified their urge to move west. Substantial purchases of farmland would be made in central Illinois, eastern Minnesota and central Michigan. The most extensive of these new communities was established in central Illinois around what later became the city of Altamont. The following article explains how Amos and Justine Moll moved to the Illinois region in the spring of 1862. The article was written by Mr. B.F. Kagay, Sr., an attorney of Effingham County, Illinois, supervisors. It appeared in "The Effingham Democrat" newspaper of June 18, 1897, and reads as follows: "We find on investigation, that at Bergholz, a village near Buffalo, New York, in the spring of 1860, at a meeting held here, it was resolved that a committee be selected to go West and look up a place to emigrate to, for the purpose of permanent settlement. Samual Yagow, August Wolf and Erdman Wurl were at said meeting and selected as such committee. "Money was raised to pay the expences of this committee. They traveled over several states hunting for good country to settle in and finally the company entered into contract with the Illinois Central Railroad Company for the purchase of 5,000 acres of prairie land in Mound and West Townships, and also 600 acres of timberland in the same townships, the company paying $6.00 per acre payable in four, five, six and seven years. "The committee reported their acts to the society in Bergholz, a plot of land was made, and in the center of the same a 40 acre tract was reserved for church, school and cemetery. Fifteeen acres was laid off and named Bethlehem. The land was divided into 40, 80, 120 and 160 acre lots, before any of the stockholders had seen it. "In the spring of 1861 the first emigrants started for Effingham County from this emigrant society. They were George Duckwitz, William Deshem, Carl Zaknow, Godfried Hoffmeister, Fredrick Wolf, John Laatsch and brother Christian. "They commenced fencing and breaking the prairie to fit it for cultivation. In the spring the remainder of the company came and settled on thier land in West and Mound Townships. After that time many settlers came from other states. "Many came direct from the country so all the land within five or six miles of the church was taken and settled." In the spring of 1862, Amos took the challenge to move to the new farm land in Illinois. He and his wife and daughter were among the remaining families of the association to move to the Bethlehem Church Community in Mound Township of Effingham County, Illinois. The village of Bethlehem was subdivided into building lots in anticipation of the railroad coming through there. However, these hopes never materialized and the intended building lots reverted to farmland. The farming conditions this group encounterd in Illinois were much different from what they had faced in New York. There were no trees to uproot, no rocks to remove and no swamps to drain. But breaking up the tough prairie sod required much unanticipated effort and hard work before cultivation could begin. These settlers were completely unaccustomed to the absence of trees and sorely missed the shade they provided. So they planted trees around their houses and marked the boundaries of their farm land by planting hedgerows of trees along them. Until their fields could be brought under cultivation, they became quite weary of the incessant waving of the tall prairie grass as far as the eye could see. Because the acreage of farms in Illinois was many times greater than it had been in New York, the farm family's closest neighbors were much farther away, even a half mile or more. All this added loneliness and homesickness to the physical hardships that had to be endured in the earliest settlement years. The farmer's tools probably consisted of grubbing hoe, axe, and saw to clear the land. His farming equipment would have included a walking plow, harrow or drag, some crude kind of planting equipment for sowing wheat or planting corn, a sythe or cradle for harvesting, and a wagon. He kept oxen or horses to pull his implements and several cows and hogs to provide milk and meat for his family. Soon after they arrived from New York, Justine became pregnant with their second child. It was here, in their new Illinois home, of Mound Township, Effingham County, that their second son John Amos Moll was born on May 2, 1863. In the following years they had four more children. Augusta Mary Moll was born on July 21, 1865. William was born in the year 1868. In the 1870 U.S. Census, William was two years old, but he did not live much beyond infancy. Martha was born on January 8, 1871, and Mary was born in October of 1873. In the 1870 census, the value of Amos and Justine's real estate was $1,000 and their personal property was listed as worth $340. Although the children did attend school, it was for a short time only in these days since they were needed on the farm. The girls probably went to school until they were about 10 years old and then worked at home. John, being the only boy was attending school even at age 17, but also worked on the farm. According to the 1880 U.S. Census, Amos, then 43 years old, was a farmer living in Mound Township, Effingham County, Illinois, with his wife, Justine, age 42. Living with them were their children, Albertina, age 19, working at home, John, age 17, working on the farm, Augusta, age 14, working at home, Martha, age 9, and Mary age 5. Soon after, Albertina, at age 21, got married on April 20, 1882 to August Siebert, a 25 year old farmer from Mound Township, who was also born in Niagara County, New York. They were married in the Bethlehem Lutheran Church by K. Theordore Gruber, M.G. and the marriage was witnessed by Albertine's brother John Moll and Mary Siebert. The following year, Albertine and August had one daughter, Ida. Albertina, however, only lived four more years, dying in 1886, at the age of 25. On November 13, 1884, John Moll was the best man at the wedding of Charles Berg to Rickey Yonnk. Also standing up at this marriage was Wilhelmine Berg, John's future wife. It is not know if this was their first meeting, but it was not uncommon for young people to meet at the wedding of a relative and then get married later. John Moll and Wilhelmine "Minnie" Berg were married four years later, in the Bethlehem Lutheran Church of Effingham County, by J.G. Hild, M.G. on April 8, 1888, witnessed by Martha Moll and R. Moll. Together they had five children; Albert born in 1889, Walter in 1896, Lorna in 1899, Louis in 1902, and Cordelia in 1908. In the 1900 U.S. Census, John was a grain farmer, living in West Township, Effingham County, with his famiily. In 1911 John's wife Minnie died of pnemonia. Two years later, in 1913, he married a widow, Anna Sophia Friedericke Meyer Rohlfing, who had three daughters, aged ten, nine and five. Together John and Anna had a child in 1919 named Martin. He died of a stroke in 1945 On May 5, 1890 Augusta married Charles Karl August Siebert, a farmer and brother to her sister Albertina's husband, August Siebert. Before her death in 1911, Augusta had four children: Jennie in 1891, Martin in 1896, Olga in 1898, and Mabel in 1903. About 1890, Martha was married to August Schwerdfeger. They had five children: Louis born in 1891, Sophie in 1893, Cordelia in 1896, Juliana in 1898 and Henry in 1902. By 1900 Amos was still living on a farm, which he owned free and clear, in Mound Township, in Altamont Village, of Effingham County, Illinois. He was 63 years old, employed fulltime as a lumber dealer. He owned his own souce of lumber and also worked as a bookkeeper for a Mr. Hilleman, owner of a lumber business and furniture factory. He was living with his wife of 40 years, Justina, who was 62 years old and a housekeeper. The census states that Amos and Justina can read, write and speak English, however, German was still most often spoken. With them also was their daughter Mary, age 26 and single. In the 1910 U.S. Census Amos was 73 years old, living with his wife Justine, age 72, and their unmarried daughter Mary, aged 36. When John Moll's wife died in 1911, John sent his two year old daughter, Cordelia, to live with his sister Mary, who was keeping house for her parents, Amos and Justina. In Amos' later years he was a Justice of the Peace. In 1994, at the age of 86, Cordelia recalls that her grandfather was referred to as "Squire" Moll, due to his position as circuit court judge. She remembers him "as a man of erect stature, walking with dignity, using a 'walking stick', not a cane. He had a special Sunday stick, the top of which was pearl and gold, and an everyday stick, which was rather rustic or gnarled. " The four lived together, until, in 1915, at age 77, Justine Moll died. Cordelia recalls that after her grandmother died that "Grandfather and I, on my tricycle, would go visit her grave often, a distance of four blocks or so. My grandfather and I would go to the grocery store where he would purchase 'oysters in the shell' from a bag on the floor. He then would take his silver pen knife from his pocket and open the shell. My first introduction of eating 'raw' oysters - I loved them, and still do! It was a special treat for me, of couse, we only had those during the 'oyster season'. Cordelia also remembers the time "when Grandfather worked as a 'bookkeeper' for Mr. George Hilleman, who owned a furniture factory in Altamont. Mr. Hilleman was a wonderful man also! He employed many local people, and was the owner of a very pretentious home, especially for Altamont. His wife was a lovely, charming 'lady', and the owner of the only 'electric' car, which at that time looked like a 'glass cabinet'. It had glass all around it, would seat perhaps 2 or 3, velvet uphostery, and speed about 10 to 15 miles per hour - quite showey! "Grandfather was a very devout Christian, and did what he could for the church. Aunt Mary told me he bought a silver chalice, etc. for the communion service, and many times also the communion wine. "I loved my grandparents and Aunt Mary! Grandfather would have loved tv, etc." Amos followed his wife in death in 1917, at age 79. He was buried next to her in the Union Cemetery of Altamont, in Effingham County, Illinois. Mary and Cordelia went on to live together. In the 1920 U.S. Census, Mary was aged 46, still single, and Cordelia was 11 years old. They were living at 151 North St. Clair Street, Mound Township, in the City of Altamont. In the 1920's, Mary married a German widower by the name of Herman Tappendorf. | MOLL, Amos Rudolf Ludwig (I2288)

| 2861 | JOHANNES "JOHN" AMOS MOLL (1863 - 1945) Johannes "John" Amos Moll was born on May 2, 1863, on a farm in Mound Township, (just outside of what is now Altamont), Effingham County, Illinois. His parents were Amos Rodolf Ludwig Moll and Justine Marie Beccue Moll both originally from Prussia (Germany). He was named after his uncle, Johannes "John" Moll, his father's brother, who was killed at age 23 during the Civil War at the Battle of Antietam. John was raised on the family's farm with his four sisters, Albertina, Augusta, Martha, and Mary. The children grew up speaking German. As a young boy John worked on his parents' farm. He attended the Bethlehem Lutheran School, five and a half miles southwest of Altamont, where classes were taught in German. In 1873 there were 123 students in the school. According to the Effingham County marriage records for the year of 1884, 21 year old John Moll and 16 year old Wilhelmine Berg were the witnesses at the marriage of Wilhelmine's brother Charles Berg's wedding as he married Rickey Yonnk on November 26, 1884. This could have been their first meeting, but more likely not since John was not related to either side, and could have been a family friend. It was commom in those days for young people to meet at the weddings of their relations and then get married some time after. Less than four years later, on April 8, 1888, at age 24, John married 20 year old Wilhelmine "Minnie" Berg. Minnie was the daughter of August Berg (1818-1890) of Sack Amt Ahlfeld, Hanover, Prussia and Henrietta Havekost Berg (1828-1893) from Grosslide, Hanover, Prussia. The Berg family came to this country in 1863 settling first in Plano, Illinois. Later they moved to the Blue Point neighborhood and from there to the Bethlehem area in 1873. Minnie was born in Moccasin Township on March 17, 1868 and had two brothers and two sisters all born in Prussia. John and Minnie were married in the Bethlehem Lutheran Church by J.G. Hild, M.G. The marriage was witnessed by R. Moll and Martha Moll, John's sister. Together they had five children. Albert Amos August Moll was born on February 11, 1889. Then on December 21, 1896 Walter William Moll was born. Next came a girl Lorna, on February 28, 1899, followed by Louis Fredrick Moll on May 12, 1902. Lastly, came Codelia Marie Johanna Moll on April 5, 1908. In the 1900 U.S. Census, John was a 37 year old farmer, living on his 80 acre farm in West Township, Effingham County, with his wife and his children: Albert, then 11 years old and in school, Walter three years old and Lorna, one. His wife of 12 years, Minnie, recorded that she had given birth to five children, of which three are still living, so sometime before 1900, two of John and Minnie's babies died. In 1905 John sold this farm and bought 160 acres in Altamont. The 1910 census found John in Mound Township of Altamont. He was then 46 years old and the owner, free and clear, of his farm. He was living with his wife of 23 years, Minnie. Also living with them were Albert, who was a 21 year old farm laborer, plus Walter 13, Lorna 11, Louis 7, and Cordelia 2. Soon after this census was taken, John's wife Minnie caught a bad case of pneumonia and on February 11, 1911 she died. With no wife to care for his small children and a farm to run, John sent his two year old daughter Cordelia and eight year old son Louis to live with his sister Mary. At that time Mary was 37 years old, single and keeping house for her parents. Two years after the death of his wife, in 1913, at 40 years old, John married a woman from Schobenier, Illinois, by the name of Anna Sophia Friedericke Meyer Rohlfing. She was a 42 year old widow with three young daughters: Olga, aged 10, Ida aged 9, and Anna aged 3. It was decided that John's daughter Cordelia would remain with her Aunt Mary and the rest of the children lived with their father and his new wife. This situation, however, did not last long. At age 22 Albert was the first to leave home, heading for Mt. Pulaski, north of Altamont, to do farm work. Walter soon followed him to Mt. Pulaski at about 13 years old to also work on a farm. Lorna left home at age 15 to work in Springfield. John's oldest son Albert became a blacksmith in Altamont, Illinois. In 1915 he married Christina Braasch, also of Altamont, and had one child, Gustav Frank John Moll in 1920. Walter married Ellen Helena Armstrong of Mt. Pulaski in 1918. He worked in Springfield on horse cars for one year and then returned to Mt. Pulaski. Here his two daughters were born, Mary Ellen Moll in 1919 and Virgina Francis Moll in 1923. He worked for the telephone company there for 10 years and then bought a home, built a greenhouse, and went into the nursery business. Lorna was never heard from again after she left for Springfield. The 1920 U.S. census found John, then 56 years old, and his 48 year old wife, Anna, living with his 16 year old son Louis, a farm laborer, and his three step-daughters, Olga, 16 years old, Ida, 15, and Anne, 11. Also living with them was a new son, Martin, born on January 1, 1919. Sometime that year Louis left home at age 16 to work on a farm in Mt. Pulaski. From there he worked for Caterpillar Tractor Company in the heat treat department for 30 years in Peoria. He married Ruth Whitaker in 1924 and had four children: Gerald Louis Moll in 1926, Marilyn Ruth Moll in 1934, Madilyn Irene Moll in 1939, and John Fredrick Moll in 1941. Cordelia married Fred Harold Ellis in 1932. She worked for the phone company in Altamont and then they moved to Decator and later Bloomington, Illinois, where she worked for The State Farm Insurance Company for 40 years. She and Fred had no children and retired in Altamont, Illinois. John Moll was a good carpenter, handy at fixing most anything concerning wood. He built his own house at the age of 57. He farmed with horse power. The crops he raised were corn, oats, and some beans for feed. He harvested his crops with a threshing machine and the help of neighbors. The family had cows for milk and to sell and two pigs mostly to butcher for meat to eat. They also had chickens and ducks. John butchered the hogs, and then cured and smoked his own meat in a special smoke house he built. The milking was done by hand and they made their apple butter outside in a cauldron. Martin Moll remembers a visit to the farm from his step-brother Walter Moll and Walter's daughter Virginia Moll (O'Rorke)who lived north of Altamont in Mt. Pulaski. Although Virginia was Martin's niece they were about the same age, Virginia being about 5 years old and Mart about 8. Martin and Virginia went into the pasture in search of a new born calf that was out there with its mother. They searched and searched but couldn't find the calf because the mother had hid the calf for its own protection. When they returned to the house, Mart's father, John, told them he knew they wouldn't find the calf but he didn't want to spoil their adventure. John and his family walked to church every Sunday. John didn't have a car and he had sold his horses when his son Mart was a child. Then when Mart was older and could drive, he got a car. John did not travel much, except a time or two when he went by train to Springfield, Illinois. Later John's farming changed as modern conveniences became available. He was able to enjoy the new things and take life a little easier in his last years. Holidays and birthdays were always celebrated with the children and their spouses coming to visit. They generally had a meal, either dinner or supper. John continued to live in Altamont for the rest of his life which ended from a stroke on June 9, 1945, at the age of 83. He had also had prostate trouble. His second wife Anna outlived him by 16 years, dying in Altamont, September 8, 1961, from a stroke she had had two weeks prior. John is buried in the Union Cemetery of Altamont, in the Moll family plot near his parents and his first wife. John's son Martin inherited his farm. A few months after his father's death, Martin married Hildegard Marie Siebert. He was in the service at the time. When he returned from the service in December of 1945, he and his new wife lived with his mother. Mart and Hildegard had two children, Delores Ann in 1950 and Lyle Martin in 1955. Mart's son and family continued to live on the family farm.

| 2883 | ?b?From the U.S. Census of 1900, Cook County, Illinois:?/b? Herman Nagel is found living at 712 22nd Place in Chicago, born Feb. 1860 in Germany, married 13 years. He came to the United States in 1892 and was a naturalized citizen. He was a day laborer. His wife Emilia was born June 1863 in Germany, mother of 7 children, of whom only 1 was living. She also came in 1892 and did not speak English. Their son Frederick W. Nagel was born June 1884 in Germany and was an apprentice piano tuner. It seems possible that Frederick was actually born to a previous marriage of either his father or mother, since they were not married until 1887, and it would have been unusual for a couple to marry 3 years after the birth of their child. | Nagel, Hermann (I67)

Mrs. Bertha Exner. Mrs. Bertha Exner was born in Pest, Germany, November 23, 1859, and passed away, after a lingering illness, at St. Charles, Illinois, September 10, 1927, having attained to the age of 67 years, 9 months, and 18 days. She was married to Mr. William Schmidt in Germany in 1880. The husband died after a few years, leaving her to care for, and to bring up five minor children. In 1894 she was married to Mr. Frank Exner of Chicago. Mr. Exner passed away many years ago. Mrs. Exner came to America in 1882. She came to Chicago and lived there till 1906 when she came to St. Charles. Since 1906 she has lived in St. Charles, always proving herself to be a desired addition to the membership of this town. Mrs. Exner was a member of the Lutheran Church, Chicago. She was a fine Christian character. Her life was a blessing to others, especially to those who were near and dear to her. Earlier in life she had many hardships to encounter, but, ever hopeful and optimistic, she overcame them all. Becoming a widow when the children were small, threw grave responsibilities upon her. She never spared herself in order that her dear ones might have everything necessary for their well-being. She lived to reap the pleasant reward for her efforts. She was a true, loving, and devoted mother, a faithful friend, and a valuable member of the community in which she lived. Her illness, which was quite prolonged, was accompanied with intense pain. Everything that could be done was done for her. The most tender care was given her by her children. Her passing was peaceful. Those left to mourn her departure are the following children: Mrs. Anna Wall of Chicago, Mrs. Ida Klug of Chicago, Herman Schmidt, William Schmidt, Mrs. Clara Nelson, Mrs. Martha Borman, and Miss Edna Exner of St. Charles; eleven grandchildren, an aged mother, Mrs. Augusta Heinz of St. Charles, two sisters, Mrs. Edward Nagle of St. Charles, and Mrs. Ida Schmidt of Chicago; two brothers, Otto Heinz of St. Charles and Emil Heinz of California; other relatives and a large number of friends. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, 1 o'clock, from the home 1028 Ash Street. Mr. Clifford Johnson sand two beautiful selections, an Rev. Eckstrom, of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church, preached the sermon. Interment was in Concordia Cemetery, Forest Park. | Heinz, Bertha Johanne Wilhelmine (I44)

| 2885 | ?b?Information given by Freda Swanson and Otto Nagel about their parents, Edward and Mathilda Nagel:?/b? Edward Nagel was a soldier in the Bismarck's army in Germany. He did not fight in a war but was involved with protecting Germany along the Polish border and along the French border. In one skirmish on the Polish border, Edward's helmet was slashed but his scalp was left untouched. A photograph of him in his army uniform remained in Otto Nagel's house until his death. Mathilda had scarlet fever at the age of 3. As a result, she had a leaky heart for the remainder of her life. Nevertheless, she bore 7 children and lived to the age of 92. When she was 20, she came from Germany to Chicago. The family tradition says that Mathilda later sent money to her first cousin (Edward Nagel) in Germany so that he also could come to America. They were married shortly after he arrived in Chicago. Mathilda had blonde hair and blue eyes, but Edward had darker hair and brown eyes. Elsie and Bill, the oldest children, attended a German Lutheran school in Chicago, where they learned to speak, read, and write in both German and English. The church they attended also had services in both German and English. When Freda was a little girl, her parents owned a large house. They rented the upstairs to a woman with two boys. Ma Nagel took care of the boys while their mother worked. One February day, the boys were playing with matches and started the house on fire. Edward Nagel came home and saw that the roof was on fire. He went in and told his wife to get all the children out. Mathilda was nursing Eddie at the time. She got all of the children out, while Edward went upstairs to get the two boys out, as their mother was at work. The house burned so badly that they had to live elsewhere while it was being rebuilt. The Nagels lived with relatives, and the upstairs family lived with some of their relatives. After the fire, the Nagels began to think that it would be better to live in St. Charles. The Nagels moved from Chicago to St. Charles about 1905 when the Heinz brothers moved their glass factory. Being tired on the big city, they bought a 66-acre farm on the east side of St. Charles. The farm was located at the present site of the Tin Cup Pass at the intersection of Kirk Road and Route 64 (which was gravel at that time). The house was located where the Firestone shop now stands. They had a horse named Dick who was blind in one eye. Bill Nagel built a teeter-totter for his younger siblings. Once, Freda was on it with her cousin Martha Nagel from Chicago, but Freda fell off and broke her arm. The scar was visible on her wrist for most of her life. Edward Nagel soon realized that he was not cut out to be a farmer. They sold the farm in 1914 for $6,500 and moved to 376 E. Illinois Avenue in St. Charles. Later, they moved to 313 South 11th Avenue, where Edward and Mathilda both lived until their deaths. Edward worked for the Heinz brothers' glass factory (owned by his brothers-in-law) as the maintenance engineer because he knew a lot about boilers. Elsie and Charlie Dau had a large wedding in the Nagels' parlor, after which they rolled up the carpets and had a dance. Freda was 8 at the time, and stayed up to watch the dancing as long as she could. The dancing lasted all night, so Freda and all of Charlie's siblings went to bed, all lying crossways in a big bed. When Freda was 12, the age when Lutherans would normally attend confirmation classes, the German Lutheran church in St. Charles did not offer confirmation. Finally when she was 15, Pa Nagel decided that she needed to go, so he sent her to confirmation classes at the German Lutheran church in Batavia. She and Bessie Haines would take the streetcar to Batavia in the evening for confirmation. Edward Nagel was musically talented, and played the organ very well. Mostly, he played church hymns, although he did not play in church. His brother Dick played the fiddle equally well. Dick often came out from Chicago to visit in St. Charles, and the two brothers would make music together. Freda sat down at the organ and showed that she could play songs without any lessons. After that, Edward bought her a piano, and she joined Edward and Dick in their music sessions. Elsie later gave this piano to her daughter Edna. After Freda and Edgar were married and Edgar was working at a car dealership, Edward bought his first car through Edgar at the dealership. Mathilda was against the idea and, at first, would not ride in the car with him. He never had a driving lesson, but just got in the car and began to drive without knowing how. Once, he took Mathilda and Dora with him in the car to visit relatives in Chicago. Dora was so afraid of his poor driving that she refused to come back with them, so she took the 3rd rail to Geneva. Edward died of stomach cancer, which supposedly resulted from his falling from a ladder. The cancer was discovered during an exploratory surgery in November 1928. He was an employee of McCormick Machine Company at the time of his death. Mathilda spent her last two weeks at Valley Rest, a nursing home in St. Charles, where she died of pneumonia. _______________________________________________________________ The records of the Evangelische Kirche at Stojentin, Kreis Stolp in Pomerania show the baptism of Therese Mathilda Heinz, born June 17, 1864, baptized June 26, 1864. The parents were Heinrich Heinz, cartwright (maker or wagons), of Czierwienz, and Auguste born Burow. Godparents were Carl Nagel, day laborer from Lischnitz (probably her mother's brother and her future father-in-law), Johanna Reetz, maid from Czierwienz, and Caroline Jacobi, maid from Neitzkow. (The birthdate disagrees with her death certificate and gravestone, both of which show June 1, 1864. She did not use the name "Therese" after migrating to Illinois. But this is obviously the same person that we know as Mathilda Heinz Nagel of Illinois.) _______________________________________________________________ ?b?From Germans to America, Lists of Passengers Arriving at U.S. Ports ?/b?Edited by Ira.

First is the Swanson family, headed by Edgar, and secondly the Nagel family headed by Mathilda and including her sons Edward, 29, and Otto, 22. Mathilda is shown as the owner of the house valued at $7000.

The U.S. census of 1900 shows Richard Nagel living at 900 W. 20th Street in Chicago. The family consisted of Richard, born August 1866 in Germany, married 8 years, came to the United States in 1891, naturalized; wife Adeline, born May 1868 in Germany, came to the U.S. in 1892, mother of 5 children; daughter Lizzie, born December 1893 in Illinois; daughter Martha, born August 1895; daughter Helena, born July 1896; son Walter, born May 1897; and son Will(?), born January 1900. The U.S. census of 1910 shows the same family living at 2838 S. 42 Court (later renamed Tripp Avenue) in Chicago. This census shows Richard came to the U.S. in 1889, a finisher in a piano factory, owning his own home. Children are Lizzie, Martha, Helen, Walter, and Willie, aged 18, 16, 14, 12, and 10. The census of 1920 shows the family living at 2838 S. Tripp in Chicago. Family members are Richard 53, Adeline 51, and Walter 21. Richard came to the U.S. in 1890 and was a finisher in a piano factory. The census of 1920 also shows Edgar Samuelson, age 29, born in Illinois, parents from Sweden; wife Martha, 25, born in Illinois, parents from Germany; son Edgar, age 6/12, born in Illinois; and brother-in-law William Nagel, 20, born in Illinois, parents from Germany, working as a stock keeper in a carburetor company. This family was living at 4148 W. 21st Place in Chicago. The census of 1930 shows Richard Nagel, age 65; wife Adeline, age 62, living at 2838 Tripp Avenue in Chicago. He was still working as a finisher in a piano factory. He came to the U.S. in 1898 [sic] and she in 1901; both naturalized citizens. The census of 1930 shows the Samuelson family, again composed of Edgar R., wife Martha, son Edgar R., Jr., and brother-in-law William T. Nagel living at 1434 N. Waller Ave. in Chicago. It shows William Nagel as married, but this is probably in error, since no wife is shown, and the age at first marriage is blank. The census of 1940 shows Richard Nagel, 74, occupation of piano finisher; wife Adeline, 71; at 2638 [sic] S. Tripp Avenue in Chicago. Also living at this address was Helen Heyden, 56, widow; her son Ervin, 26, born in Illinois, a cabinet maker. ?b?____________________________________________________________________ ?/b? ?b?Death Records:?/b?

| 2897 | A TRIBUTE TO MATTIE (JAHN) RABE Mattie Jahn was the daughter of Carl and Bertha (Krause) Jahn. She was born August 2, 1893, in Hanover Township, Crawford County, Iowa. Her father was born in Pomern, Germany, received his education and spent his youth in his homeland. He learned the trade of bricklayer before coming to the United States and to Chicago when a young man. Her mother was born in Berlin and also received her education in Germany. She and a sister left Germany and came to America, locating in Chicago where two of her sisters had already settled. She found employment there assisting with housework in various homes. After their marriage Carl and Bertha resided in Chicago. About 1884, they came to Crawford County and located on a farm in Hanover Township. They remained on this farm until they retired and came to Charter Oak to live until their passing. Mattie (Jahn) Rabe attended the rural school in Hanover Township, having to walk four miles each day to and from school. She also attended St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Hanover Township and was confirmed there. Most of her youth was spent at the homes of her sisters, helping with the housework and taking care of the children. On March 14, 1913, she was married to Albert Rabe at St. John's Lutheran Church in Charter Oak.
