| 609 | Fritz Sporleder, 1899 Biography SPORLEDER, WERNER Posted By: David Reineke I translated the following biography from Der Carroll Demokrat, a Germ an-language newspaper published in Carroll, Iowa, between about 1874 and 1 920. It was originally published in a special 25th Anniversary Editi on of the paper on Friday, 20 September 1899. I have not changed the pla ce or name spellings, except where indicated. Information in brackets a nd notes at the end are my own explanations. It reads as follows: Fritz Sporleder Mr. Sporleder was born on 1 April 1851 in Dassel, District of Einbec k, Hannover [Hanover]. When he was three years old, his parents moved to t he District of Lüneburg, where he attended school in Drögeniendorf and w as confirmed in the local parish-church. He then took up agriculture and w orked on various farms in the area until he was 18 years old. At this tim e, he carried out his long-held plan to emigrate to the Free States of Nor th America. He then crossed the ocean, and arriving in America, he made h is way first to Will County, Illinois, where he again took up the plow a nd worked four years for other farmers. He then went into farming for hims elf, and rented a farm which he operated for five years. On 26 January 187 9, he married Miss Franziska Werner, a well-brought-up and upright young w oman, who was born on 26 March 1858 in Seifertshausen, District of Rodenbu rg [possibly Rotenburg], in Kurhessen. In 1883, Mr. Sporleder and his you ng wife moved to Grant Township, Carroll County, Iowa, where he purchas ed 80 acres of land. He took up residence on this farm, built a fine hom e, and good stalls and barns, and now and then increased his real estat e, so that he now calls 320 acres of the best land his own, which by virt ue of its fine location is among the best of properties. Mr. Sporleder a nd his wife are honest German-Americans and enjoy an excellent reputatio n. This very happy marriage has produced three children, named Anton, Arno ld and Maria. NOTES: Dassel is a town about 40 miles south of Hannover. It is abo ut 10 miles west of Einbeck. Seifertshausen is in central Germany, abo ut 20 to 25 miles southeast of Kassel and about 5 miles northeast of Roten burg. Fred Sporleder of Lidderdale Passes Away.

| 610 | From 2Manitowoc.com website: https://www.2manitowoc.com/freissjacobfamhist.html JACOB FREISS Philipp Jacob Freiss was born 20 Feb 1810 in the small town of Krastel in the Hunsrück region of the Rhineland. His parents were Franz Adam Freiss and Anna Margaretha Printz. Jacob was the youngest of nine children, six of whom died in infancy. His parents both had died by the time Jacob was four years old. Also surviving was a sister, Catharina Margaretha, age 14, and a brother, Philipp Nicolaus, age 7. It’s not known who raised the children.1 In Kastellaun on 30 Dec 1837 Jacob married2 Maria Margaretha Schneider (born 08 Mar 18083 in Hasselbach to Johann Nicolaus Schneider and Maria Catharina Leonhard [Lenhardt]). They resided in Hasselbach, where he farmed and learned to weave, and where Anna Catharina was born 24 Jan 18394 and Maria Margaretha was born 04 Mar 1840 5. The family relocated to Silesia about 1841, where son Friedrich was born 12 Nov 18426. They emigrated in 18537, arriving in New York in May, apparently going directly to Manitowoc County and settling in Centerville. Shortly before emigrating they posed for a family portrait in Staucha8, Silesia. Philipp Jacob Freiss family (ca. 1852) l.to r. standing – Friedrich, Anna Catharina, Maria Margaretha seated – Maria Margaretha (nee Schneider), Philipp JacobThey farmed in Centerville. Wife Maria Margaretha died in the spring of 1870 and was probably buried in a Centerville cemetery, though there is no known formal record of her death in the county records nor a pertinent entry or marker from any of the cemeteries. That same year Jacob and his son Friedrich moved to Gibson and bought farms. He wove the rug for the altar of St. John Lutheran Church in Gibson in 1882. On 22 Oct 1883 he was in the field cutting red clover for seed when he had a stroke, went home to bed, and half hour later was found dead9. He is buried in St. Johns Cemetery, Gibson10. Jacob & Maria Margaret Freiss, ca. 1869Daughter Catherine married in Two Rivers in 185611 to Joseph Edward Schwab, who had emigrated from Polnischwette, Silesia, in May, 185412, and they lived in Two Rivers where Joseph operated a retail store. They had one child, Mary13. They also raised their nephew, Joseph E. (Staeffler) Schwab (see below). The elder Joseph died in Two Rivers, 27 Nov. 188614; Catherine died 08 Oct. 191215 while visiting relatives in St. Paul, Minn. Both are buried in Pioneer Rest Cem., Two Rivers16.Daughter Maria Margaretha married in Two Rivers on 18 Oct 185617 to Friedrich Staeffler18, (the son of Johann Christian Staeffler and Maria Catharina Christ) who in 1851 had emigrated from Kastellaun in the Hunsrück19. The couple had five children before Maria Margaretha perished in a fire in March 186620. Her youngest child, 4-month old Joseph Edward, was given to her sister Catherine to raise, he assuming the Schwab surname. Maria is buried in Schwartzwald Church Cemetery in Sheboygan Co. Friedrich Staeffler remarried in Sheboygan Co., 17 July 186621, to Louisa Prueter (daughter of Carl Heinrich Daniel Prueter) who had emigrated from Neu Bucko, Mecklenburg-Schwerin. They had ten children, eight of whom reached maturity and married. Fred Staeffler died 13 August 1914 in Herman Twp., Sheboygan Co., and is buried in Rockville Cem., Kiel, Manitowoc Co. Louisa died 04 Apr. 1932 in Kiel and is buried alongside her husband22.Son Friedrich Freiss married in Eagle River, Keweenaw Co., MI, on 31 Dec 1864, to Maria Ernestine Jaehnig (daughter of John Jaehnig and Johanna Frank) who had emigrated with her parents about 185623 from Saxony to Manitowoc County. Friedrich and Ernestine settled in Centerville, but in 1870 acquired farmland in Gibson. They had thirteen children, twelve of whom reached maturity and married. In the winter of 1881-81, while Fred was cutting wood, a splinter flew into one eye. Despite visiting doctors in Milwaukee, by March 1881 he was permanently blind in that eye24. The Manitowoc Pilot of 05 July 1888 announced that he had sold his farm and “will remove to Dakota”. He, Ernestine, and eight of the children went by wagon to Britton, Marshall County, Dakota Territory25. There he farmed very successfully until death claimed him 09 Sep. 1907; Ernestine followed him in death 31 Aug. 190826. Friedrich and Ernestine Freiss, ca. 1900The three Jacob Freiss children produced 19 grandchildren; they in turn produced 77 direct great-grandchildren. Some descendants dropped the terminal “S” (Freis), including a large contingent around Kiel. Also, some public records inverted the “ei” to “ie”, but the traditional Hunsrück spelling as “Freiss” largely survives.Some of Jacob’s “in-laws” followed him from the Hunsrück to Manitowoc County:A nephew, Adam Freiss, together with wife Maria Catherine Bauer, came in 185827 and settled near Two Rivers; after her death and Adam’s remarriage, he moved to Centerville and is buried in the Saxon Cemetery there (Freis)28.Adam’s sister, Maria Catherina Freiss, with her husband Franz Lenhardt and three children, came to Mishicot about 186829.A grandson of Jacob’s brother, Friedrich Freiss, arrived in Sep. 188130 He settled in Mishicot and in 1883 married his cousin Catherine Maria Lenhardt, Franz’s daughter31.

| 636 | From the Rib Lake Herald published in Taylor County Star News Dec. 13, 1907 Louis Jonas, one of the farmers living east of this village, has not been seen or heard of since last Friday morning. It was his habit of going before his mates and hunt rabbits until they came. Last Friday when his mates came to the place where they worked, they found his dinner pail and coat but the man and his gun were no where to be seen. They did not pay much attention to him, thinking he was off a little ways and would return. When he failed to show up in the evening a search for him was organized and he has not shown up yet. The Rib Lake Herald Friday Feb. 7, 1908 p.7 c 2 Rib Lake Wisconsin Louis Jonas' Body Found Readers of the Herald remember that we recorded the sudden disappearance of Louis Jonas on the 26th of November, last. On that day he went to work in the morning the same as usual, to chop wood, and left the house about half an hour ahead of his companions. When they arrived at the place where they worked, they saw his dinner pail and coat in its usual place but he was not there. As he was in the habit of taking his rifle along and hunting early in the morning, they paid little attention to it and thought he was in pursuit of some game. But when evening came and he did not appear, they became somewhat worried and instituted a search for him. This was continued for several days and the woods was full of men the following Sunday who were trying to locate him. Nothing has been heard of him until last Tuesday. Last Tuesday Andrew Berg was out hunting in the vicinity of what is known as Case's homestead and in following a wolf trail he came upon the body of a dead man. He notified the authorities at once and an inquest was ordered by the district attorney. Therefore Justice of the Peace George Clark went out to hold inquest and identify the body if possible. The jury found that the man was Louis Jonas, who disappeared last November, and that he came to his death by shooting himself in the head with the rifle. The body was found one mile southeast from where he worked with his companions in November; it lay flat on its back, the gun between the knees and both hands were clasped around it. The ball entered the brain in the left side of the forehead. The calibre was 36-56. The body was brought to this village in the evening and placed in Case & Pole's undertaking establishment, where it will be prepared for burial. His parents at Manitowoc were notified. Date for the funeral has not yet been set. He has a brother living in the township of Rib Lake and leaves a wife and one child. What prompted him to take his own life is not certain, although there are many theories. He is said to have lived in peace with his family. It is a sad affair. From Sara N.

| 639 | From: Minnesota in the Civil War: An Illustrated History, by Kenneth Carley At the end of January 1862, companies from Minnesota were in St. Louis to train at Benton Barracks, where they joined companies from Iowa (three of them German), Nebraska, and Missouri. The companies were organized as the Curtis Horse Regiment, named after Gen. Samuel Curtis, then commander of Benton Barracks. On April 15, 1862, on orders from the secretary of war, Curtis Horse was renamed the Fifth Iowa Cavalry, as more of the men in the regiment were from that state. The regiment was assigned typical duties for the cavalry. They were to protect railroad and telegraph lines to ensure delivery of supplies and dispatches. Much of their time was spent in scouting, escort and picket duty. In battle, they would be in the advance line of on the flanks and often would chase the retreating enemy. As the army increasingly lived off the land, the cavalry engaged in raids to bring food and horses. The Fifth Iowa Cavalry was active in western an middle Tennessee and Kentucky and northern Alabama. In summer 1862, they built telegraph lines and repaired bridges enabling General Buell to reach Shiloh for a Union victory and kept lines open during the siege of Corinth. Throughout 1863, they continued scouting and raiding and pursued Rebels after Chickamauga. In January 1864 the regiment's term of service expired. Most of the men reenlisted and were granted a thirty-day veterans' furlough. It was during this furlough time, William Blum was married. ----------------------------------- The regiment originally known as "Curtis Horse" - which title was subsequently changed to the "Fifth Iowa Cavalry" - commenced organization at Benton Barracks, near St. Louis, Mo., on December 20, 1861, pursuant to the following order: Special Orders No. 70 1: Pursuant to Special order No. 74, of the Department of the Missouri, to carry out special instructions from the Secretary of War, directing the organization of cavalry regiment to be called the "Curtis Horse," the following detachments and companies are united for that purpose, viz.: Nebraska Battalion, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel M. T. Patrick-four companies. Detachment of Iowa and Minnesota troops, known as the command of Captain Schaeffer de Boernstein-three companies. Detachment under same command twenty-seven men, company of Osage County Mounted Rifles, commanded by Captain Kidd-one company. Other detachments and companies may be attached hereafter, not to exceed twelve companies. It later goes on to say that Company D was composed of men recrited in Omaha, Neb., by William Curl, and thirty-five men from Missouri, recruited by William Aston, and was mustered into service at St. Louis, Nov. 13, 1861. | BLUM, Wilhelm (I1020)
