Re: Louis Ehlers family in Milwaukee's German newspapers?

rebholzgary — 2012-05-01 14:03:26Z

I've indexed over 200 entries of the Ehlers name in the collection "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items", covering 1844-1950. I don't show a Louis in the current data, but multiple entries for a Louise/Louisa and a Heinrich. Other possible matches include a Louisa Kracht and Anna Fetzer? There are also Ellis entries.
Indexing started in 2007 and continues today. Contact me directly for specific entries. gary.rebholz@gmail.com

Heinrich "Henry" Ehlers b. 9/11/1857 m. Christina Wulf, is my great-great grandfather, sadly I'm stuck exactly where everyone else is... No one seems to be quite sure of who his parents are and where he was born. I've tried reaching out to family for help, but the last of his grandchildren have passed on within the last 2 years. Hoping that my Uncle who works for the family company will be able to find out some info. Will gladly share if anything useful info is obtained.

Louise and Cord Ehlers New York

theladybird68 — 2011-12-07 01:44:18Z

I am looking for the whereabout of Louise Dohris Ehlers from her birh in Manhattan on 5 July 1885 to Carl Richard (Cord) Ehlers and his wife Johanne Louise Stumcke Ehlers. up until she was listed as Louise Schott, a Widow, in the 1920 census living in the Bronx with her 7 month old son Gus Schott, her mother and step-father. I know she married a Douglas Seabright in 1920, had a daughter Harriett in 1921 and in the 1930 Ceusus was living in Burgen County, New Jersey. I loose track of her after that again. I believe she married again after Douglas Seabright, but I am not sure. Any infomation on Louise, Douglas, Gus or Harriett is appreciated!
I am also looking to find out what happened to her father, Cord (Carl) Richard Ehlers. He was born about 1849 in Germany, came to the US about 1873 and was naturlized in 1892. He is in the 1892 New York Census living in Brooklyn with Wife Johanne and children Herman, Louisa, Richard and William. I can't seem to locate him after that. I know that by 1909 his wife was married to a Joseph Weikel in New York City. I can't seem to find Cord or his death after the 1892 census. Any help with locating them would be apprecated. Thanks for your time. Leah Hufford Bird

I have Johann Detlef Robi (John Roby) b. 1836 Holstein.
He was the son of Claus Hinrich Robi and Christina Magdalena Wiese.
Johann came to U.S. with his sister Caroline Dorothea Robi in 1858 and living in Pleasant Valley, Scott County, Iowa in 1860 with thier older brother Frederick.
Spelling of the last name changed to Roby sometime after thier arrival.

Any possibility that there is a connection to your Robi family?

I don't believe that Kathryn Kroeger would be the mother of your great-grandmother, Caroline (Kroeger) Schroeder because according to my researhc, Caroline married John Peter Claussen in Rock Island, Illinois, and then moved to Sherburn, Minnesota where they had four children, and she died there in 1915. Sorry we don't have a connection.

Katherine Dorothea Margaretha Ehlers

linhopp — 2009-04-23 17:48:18Z

She was born 11-Nov-1838, Dannau, S/H Germany, the d/o Hinrich Christian Ehlers and Dorothea Susana Langfeldt.She married Joachim Otto Bunning. Before that she may have married a Stohbehn and perhaps another Bunning. She died 14-Jan-1911, Woodbury Co.IA. and is buried there as is her mother and sister, Julianna Catherine Dorothea Ehlers (I believe she married an Ehlers). The 1845 Dannau census has Katherine's mother as Charlotte Louise and on the 1840 as Charlotte Susane. Correction, additions welcome.

Obit: Leman Ehlers of Iowa (1914-2009)

wilsonje19 — 2009-01-27 18:07:21Z

Leman Carl, son of Emil Cleveland and Ella (Wegner) Ehlers, was born November 30, 1914, at the family farm southwest of Manning in Crawford County, Iowa. He grew up on that farm with his parents and his younger brothers Kenneth and Raymond. Leman attended country school and then graduated from Manning High School in 1932. Leman farmed with his father and they also did custom corn shelling in a wide area around Manning.

Leman entered the Army Air Corps in 1942 and was stationed in Florida where he was a Link Trainer Operator, helping train pilots on a simulator. After his honorable discharge, he returned to his home area.

On March 3, 1946, Leman was united in marriage with Mildred Ann Bender at Sioux City. One son was born to this union. They started farming east of Manilla in 1948. In 1974 their son rejoined them on the farm following his college graduation. After Leman retired from active farming in 1980 they remained on the farm. In 1985, Leman and Mildred moved to a home in Manning they had purchased and redecorated the year before. When Mildred's health began to fail she entered the Manning Plaza Nursing Home and died there several years later in 2003.

Leman was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Manning where he served on the Board of Trustees. After his retirement he continued to help his son on the farm. Leman enjoyed repair and mechanical work on the farm over the years. Later in life he read a lot on investing and health topics.

Leman entered the Manning Plaza in 2002 and he died there on Friday, January 16, 2009, at the age of 94 years, 1 month and 17 days.

Preceding Leman in death are his wife; parents; two brothers Raymond Ehlers and Kenneth Ehlers and his wife Pauline.

Ludwig Daniel Ehlers

brandonerikson — 2008-01-03 20:09:49Z

I'm looking for any further information on the above referenced "Ehlers" - this is all I have:

He was born in Stuer, Mecklenburg Schwerin abt 1820. He married Sophia Frederica Bell (1822 - 1907) They had one daughter, Friederike Sophia Bell (1842 - 1907) His wife (SF Bell) remarried F. Lehmann and had their first child abt 1849 - so I'm assuming that LD Ehlers died sometime before. All of the children for either were also born in Germany - but some died in Kossuth County IA.

Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
