Notes:

Immigration Information: In the Hamburg Sailing records we find the following entry that matches the time period and family of August Jonas from Germany. The only discrepency is the place of birth of August. We have no proof of where August was born, so we believe that this entry is the August Jonas in question. Dates of departure, family members, and port of arrival follow with the other informaition we have.

Here is the translation of the record:

Jonas, August, Frau u 2 Kdr 1/2 3 J. Which is: Jonas, August. Wife and 2 children (ages) 1/2 and 3 years. Place of birth: Neustet, Thueringen. This probably refers to Neustaed t, a village just west and slightly north of Eisenach, in Thuringia, central Germany. That's Neustadt with an Umlaut over the a which I can't type in email. Neustet is just an inaccurate transliteration of the correct spel ling Neustaedt, I think. Ship was the Vorwaerts, prussian, Capt. J. Finck. Destination was Quebec, sailing date 19 June, and then LXXX which stan ds for ???

Information in the First German Church Manitowoc County and Kewaunee County Church records "The family later Moved to Kewaunee". It is believed the family did not m ove residences, but instead changed church affiliations.

The Manitowoc County Chronicle June 1, 1875 August Jonas, a well-to-do farmer living about three miles northeast of Mishicott, is engaged, at present in building a handsome brick residence on his farm.

Last week we briefly reported the death on Monday, January 10, 1910, at the home of his son, Fritz Sporleder, in Sheridan Township, of Carl Sporleder, aged 91 years, five months and four days. He was one of the few men in this country to reach such an advanced age. The events that have passed in history during his long life made and unmade nations, and the great achievements of science and inventions that have revolutionized the world and the conditions of human life, were all brought about during the lifetime of this aged pilgrim.

Carl Sporleder was born at Dassel, Amt Einbeck, Province, Hanover, Germany, August 6, 1818. He was schooled there and was confirmed as a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, which affiliation he maintained throughout the course of his long life of busy endeavor. At the age of 28, he was united in marriage to Miss Carolina Ernst and there survive as the issue of their union three sons, William Sporleder, Pierce, Nebraska, Fritz Sporleder, Carroll, Iowa, Henry Sporleder, Parsons, Kansas, and Mrs. John (Wilhelmine) Jonas, Two Rivers, Wisconsin. There also survive many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Departed came to America in 1871 settling in Will County, Illinois, where they resided until 1879, when they came to Carroll and he bought property in West Carroll (County). It was while living there that his faithful wife died 23 years ago, and since then he made his home with his sons, Henry and Fred. The funeral was conducted from Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Sheridan Township, at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon, January 12th, Pastor Schmidt conducting the services. Interment took place at the cemetery adjoining the church. There was an unusually large attendance from the surrounding townships, including the town of Glidden and this city (Carroll), for departed was a man whom all liked and respected. He was a patriarch, at those feet of old those of younger years sat to listen to words of wisdom, the fruit of ripe years and experience. Time mellows one's views.

The life of this venerable Christian, living by the rules of his faith year after year, rearing his family in the knowledge and fear of God; wh at a splendid example is it to emulate! His virtues should furnish the lamp to the darkness of spirit caused by sin.
