(Taken from the "Crawford County History" Book) 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. They rented for a few years, later purchasing the farm that stayed in the family until 1937. In 1908, they retired to a small home at the south end of main street across from the school. On Sunday, January 19, 1919, Carl's daughter, Mrs. Fogle, visited him after church and found him cheerful after recovering from the flu, except for a pain in the shoulder which he claimed was rheumatism. Less than an hour later, they were called back to town since Mr. Jahn had passed away at the age of 76. His death was caused by heart problems. Mrs. Jahn remained in their home until Christmas Day in 1932 when she passed away at the age of 78. Carl and Bertha are buried in the Hanover Lutheran Cemetery.
