The farm was on the NE 1/4 of Section 18, township 25 (Hancock), range 2, Wayne County, Nebraska, or 2 miles south and 3 miles west of Winside.

Notes:
Fred. He was listed as a servant for his half brother August Rewinkel in Langendorf in 1861. He moved to the US in 1868, with William Wolter, on the cattle boat Tripoli. He settled first in Eitzen Minnesota, working on the farm of Charles and Sarah Albee. On 25 February 1870 he filed his declaration of intent to become a citizen of the United States, in Caledonia, Houston County, Minnesota. He was a baptismal sponsor for Henry Kohlmeier in Eitzen on 28 August 1870. He then moved to Nebraska in 1871 (FYH.15) or on 6 April 1872 (FYH.30, REW1, LYONS, EE4).

Fred worked in Lyons for Walter Lyon for several years before marriage. He was a charter member of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church near Lyons, Nebraska, in 1874. They settled in June 1875 on the farm three and a half miles south of Lyons, where they lived in the two rooms above the granary before their house was built in 1881. This was in the southwest quarter of Section 7, Oakland Township (later Bell Creek Township), Burt County. He also co-owned, with his brother, 80 acres in Section 11, close to Dodge Creek. In 1885 he had a hired hand on the farm, Peter L. Nelson. He attended the Nebraska district convention of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, 19–25 August 1903 in Hampton, Nebraska, and the one on 14 Aug 1912 in Seward, Nebraska. Fred died of a lung condition after suffering a lung hemorrhage the previous August.

He always gave his birthyear as 1847. LD2.2 gives his birthdate as 18 Jun 1846, as does REW20.43, but stricken out and written 20 July 1847. ASR gives his age as 44 years on 20 Jul 1890.

Notes:
Farmer from Hespe Nr. 27. He met Caroline Kohlmeyer while he was working in a drug store in Bückeburg. They both worked in Bückeburg for many years. He renounced his right of inheritance in favor of his sister Christine. He applied for permission to emigrate in March 1853. They left for the US immediately after marriage. They sailed from Bremen on the bark Ella on 20 April 1853, traveling with Fr. Kohlmeier and Dorothea Branding, and arrived in New York 2 June 1853. He farmed near Addison (12 miles west of Chicago). They attended St. Paul's German Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chicago initially, then joined the German Evangelical Lutheran Church in Addison (DuPage County) by 1856, and then 17 Jan 1859 joined its daughter congregation Immanuel Lutheran Church in Proviso (Cook County), about 9 miles south of Addison.

They stayed in Illinois until 1860, then moved after 29 July to near Eitzen, Houston Co, Minnesota. On 7 November 1860 he appears as a witness (hence as a U.S. citizen) in the naturalization of his brother-in-law Frederick Kohlmeier, filed in Caledonia. He built a sod house on a 40 acre farm in 1861. He was a member of the Amerikanisches Luther-Verein zur Herausgabe Lutherischer Schriften für das Volk in 1862.

He left for the Civil War (3rd Minnesota Volunteers, Co A, Private, mustered 17 Jun 1864), contracted typhoid fever near Pine Bluff Arkansas, and was sent north to hospital at Jefferson Barracks on 12 Oct 1864. He died after serving a day less than five months. He lies buried in Section 33 Site 3148, Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, Carondelet, Missouri.

His last words to his wife were "Karline, wenn ich nicht wiederkomme, sieh daß die Kinder eine gute Schulung bekommen." (Caroline, if I don't come back, see that the children get a good schooling.)

Notes:
Caroline's baptismal sponsor was Dorothee Kuhlmanns from Evesen. Caroline served as a maidservant for a painter named Hofmeier in Bückeburg. She emigrated to America with her new husband immediately after marriage. After the death of her husband in the Civil War, she stayed on the farm near Eitzen Minnesota for a year and a half. She tried to find work in Chicago but failed, so she returned to Minnesota and bought another 40 acres next to her land, renting out all but 16 acres. This property was in the extreme southwestern corner of Winnebago township, the west half of the southwest quarter of section 31, right on the Iowa state line. She was a founding member of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Eitzen, Minnesota in 1871. She sold her farm to J. Deters and moved to Nebraska, arriving on 10 May 1872 with relatives, where she bought another farm from Mr. Geisler just east of the Eggert farm. In the spring of 1885, she moved to Ellinwood Kansas with two of her daughters and their families, and returned to Nebraska in the spring of 1887. She suffered from asthma.

Taufpatin: Dorothee Kuhlmanns aus Evesen.

SP.47 gives her birthday as 18 Aug 1822, but this is certainly in error. EE.1 and SFR.1 give the same date, but probably copied the error from SP.47. In her baptismal record, her father is listed as Friedrich Wilhelm Kohlmeier.

LYONSLVS says she died Tuesday night (29-30 Nov 1892).
