Four Gunther brothers with umlatt over the u emigrated to Peotone IL in 1854 along with their mother Caroline RUFUS Gunther. The boys were Ernst, Henry, August and Rufus. I have family histories on all but Rufus. He was last known to be in Jacksonville, Morgan county, IL in 1892.

As far as known, Rufus used Ginter as last name like his brothers August and Ernst. Henry and his descendents used Genter. All chuch records kept in German spelled the name Guenther.

Looking for a clue as to what ever happened to Rufus or where he ended up.
