Our forefathers who left Germany to go to Russia to make a better life for
themselves and their children. It is dedicated as well to our brave
forefathers who left Russia to make a better life for themselves and their
children in the United States. It is especially dedicated to those of our
relatives who stayed in Russia and endured over fifty years exiled in prison
work camps for their crime of being of German ancestry.
Forward
Many books and papers about other Volga German families and their
descendants, have been published over the last fifty years, and are
treasured documents for not only the serious researcher, but also those with
a passing interest as well. This book is one the descendants of one Befort
family that left Germany to go to Russia.While every effort has been made in
this compilation to provide accurate and complete information, endeavors to
aquire additional facts and details from both the United States and European
sources continue. Any ommission of person (s), places, or events that
deserve inclusion berein is purely unintentional.

The founders of MUNJOR were part of the largest single expedition of Unsere
Leute to emigrate from Russia. Under the leadership of Bathasar BRUNGARDT
108 families left Saratov by train on July 8, 1876. Their body consisted of
departures from Herzog, Obermonjou, Louis, Graf, Wittman, Marienthal,
Schoenchen, and Gattung. The group separated at Eydtkuhnen, with the MUNJOR
founders among these electing to sail via the Hamburg-American line.
Arriving in New York, they then proceeded by train to Herzog. After
remaining there several days, they repaired to a site on Big Creek a short
distance north of the present village of MUNJOR. Some two months later they
moved to the present townsite in Section 25, Town ship 14, Range 18 in
Wheatland Township.
On November 1, 1876 an additional group came to MUNJOR. They had emigrated
from Saratov on September 30 and sailed from Hamburg-American line. This
body consisted of the following families

The MUNJOR settlers were poor people, as were most of the Volga-Germans in
the other local settlements. Their first residences were simple sod house.
In 1876 they purchased Section 25 and organized MUNJOR Land Company. This
creation lacked legal status and was succeeded by a corporate entity, the
MUNJOR land and Grazing Company, which was chartered about October 11, 1882
at the suggestions of John Schyler, an advisor and benefactor for the early
MUNJOR pioneers. Part of the section was surveyed by G.R. Wolf for the town
site. Each lot owner was a member of the grazing use by all members. The
charter provided for a 50-year life, a five-man board of directors with a
president, secretary, and treasurer. The original capitalization called for
$10,000 divided into 200 shares of $50 each. No interest in the company land
holdings could be mortgaged, sold, or transferred without the consent of
two-thirds of the membership.
From the beginning this corporate creation experienced serious difficulties.
The southern half of the section was sold on August 15, 1888. Controversy
became so intense it pilled over into court litigation. In January, 1899
deeds were issued for the town lots only. This company’s internal conflicts
split the community into two major factions. Peace was restored only after
its dissolution.
The founders wasted little time in arrangements for church services. They
also prayed around a homemade cross under the open sky, but as early as 1877
succeeded in erecting a small 20 x 40 foot frame structure for church use.
Rev. Fr. Valentine Sommereisen said mass in this building once a month. The
Capuchins came in 1878 and have been in charge of the parish since then.
Within a few years the parish added 16 feet to the original church. In 1889
this structure was replaced by the present stone church building.
TRADITIONS OBERMONJOUr in RUSSIA was founded in 1766. It was located on the
valley side of the Volga, the first village north of Katherinestaadt.
According to an account by Victor LEIKER, a New Jersey Journalist and a
native of MUNJOR, Kansas in the AHSGR Work Paper No., 5, Feborn 1972, the
town in RUSSIA was named after a Frenchman named MUNJOR, a land agent for
Catherine the Great. Eventually the town had a population of 3,000. Mr.
LEIKER says that a young OBERMONJOUr lad who survived Siberia and was able
to visit the Volga a few years ago, wrote his uncle in Germany as follows:
"I could not even find where our village had been. It is as though nature
has returned the land to the plains as they once were, without a tree, or a
smokestack or a road or even a rusty pipe marking the village we loved so
much."
In 1876 the following families founded MUNJOR in Kansas. BEFORT; BINDER;
DECHANT; DOEFLER; Eberle; ENGEL; Gabel; Graf; GROSS; Herl; HERTEL; Klaus;
Korbe; KRANNAWITTER; Lieker; PFANNENSTIEL; Miller; Riedel; ROHR; Ruder;
Rupp; SCHUMACHER; Schreibvogel; Stoecklein; Unrein; Urban; Wasinger; Yunker;
GOETZ.
Not all of the founders of MUNJOR, Kansas came from Obermounjour in RUSSIA.
Some came from Wittman, Schoenchen, Marienthal, and Herzog on the Volga. The
Grabbe family came directly from Germany.
Peter LEIKER of OBERMONJOUr was ONE of the FIVE explorers who came to
America in 1876 to look for a suitable place to settle.
When the settlers arrived, they were for the most part poor, and the first
order of business was to build shelters for their families, which were house
constructed from sod and tree saplings from Big Creek. In 1926 a model sod
house was built on the campus of Ft. Hays College to commemorate the 50th
anniversary of the coming of the German-RUSSIAns to ELLIS COUNTY, AND
KANSAS. A lady from the east who stopped to see the sod house remarked, "Oh
my Goodness, how could anyONE develop in a thing like this?" Joe Linenberger
of Victoria a man 6' 3" tall and weighing about 225 lbs. overheard the
remark and said,” Lady I am a specimen that grew up in ONE of these sod
houses and I could crush every bONE in your body with ONE hanDIED: Contrary
to what was said, these houses were fairly comfortable. The floor was bare,
and in ONE of the rooms was a large stove used for baking and cooking. The
interior of the house was whitewashed, and the entire house kept neat and
clean.
On of the most noted characteristics about MUNJOR in America was its find
church choir. Clemens Wasinger and his son Paul were directors for over 50
years. Nick J. PFANNENSTIEL whom many considered the finest TENor in ELLIS
COUNTY, AND KANSAS, led the singers. He retired in Hays and in 1956, Nick
and this writer compiled a book of approximately 150 German-RUSSIAn folk
songs.
MUNJOR was another ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS town that was proud of its fine
baseball teams through the years. There were many fine players, but let it
suffice here to say that many felt John Riedel and Martin LEIKER could both
have been professional ball players had they been given the opportunity.
Nick J. PFANNENSTIEL, Joe BORN PFANNENSTIEL (604 E. 15th.) had fine race
horses, and did much harness racing at county fairs and other events.
Today, many of the best citizens of ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS originate from
this quaint little village located 6 miles southeast of Hays on the banks of
Big Creek.

This book is the end result of years of research into the origin and
dispersal of the KRANNAWITTER family. This INTRODUCTION contains a brief
description of the TWELVE chapters and TWO final sections of this book.
Within each chapter, in the even that any information was obtained from
published material or from correspondence with official agencies, the
particular source is citeDIED Much of the data used in this genealogical
report was also taken from personal letters and family records; these
sources, too, are duly citeDIED All of the sources used to compile this
book, including those not specifically cited within the chapters, aware
recorded in the bibliographic list at the end of the book.
The author wishes to express her sincere gratitude to all the people who
made this report possible. Any omissions or mistakes are uninTENtional.
Special care has been given to citing all the people responsible for the
compilation of this work.
The members of the KRANNAWITTER,
KRONEWITTer/Kronwitter/KRONEWITT/Kranewitter families that came to America
from the Volga-German colonies in RUSSIA were among thousands of ethnic
Germans from RUSSIA who emigrated in search of freedom from 1875 up to the
time of the RUSSIAn Revolution. The variant spellings of the KRANNAWITTER
surname evolved as family members who had moved to different parts of North
and South America gradually lost contact with each other.
In the earliest RUSSIAn records, the name was spelled KRANNAWITTER. All the
American spellings that eventually developed differed slightly from this
original version. Later in this introduction, more atTENtion will be given
to the subject of the dispersal of this family and different spellings that
ensueDIED For the make of simplicity, in this report the surname will be
referred to generically as KRANNAWITTER unless a specific family with an
alternative spelling is being discusseDIED
Evidence seems to indicate, although not incontrovertibly, that the
KRANNAWITTER family that migrated to the Volga colonies of RUSSIA originated
in Wiesbach, a small German village in lowered Bavaria situated about 50
miles northeast of Munich. (See figure 29.) Chapter ONE of this book,
WIESBACH, LOWER BAVARIA< GERMANY; THE PROBABLE PLACE OF ORIGIN OF THE
VOLGA-GERMAN IMMIGRANT JOHANNES KRANNEWITTER (1731-EA. 1782), ANALYZES THE
RESEARCH that led to this TENtative conclusion (Pleve 1998).
According to records contained in Catholic parish archives in Germany, Adam
Kronawitter and his wife Anna _______-were parents of Michael Gronawitter
(the surname was spelled differently even in the same baptismal entry.),
baptized 3 MAY, 1731, at the church serving the parish of Obertrennbach,
where Weisbach was locateDIED The entry stated that Adam Kronawitter was a
dragONEt in the army (presumably the Bavarian army) and had been statiONEd
at Mitterfels, a town about 40 miles north of Weisbach and about 20 miles
east of the city of Regensburg (Mai (Dr. Paul) 1998). The Catholic archives
referred to aware the only sauce of records of so early date in Germany.
Johannes Krannewitter was the name of the man who migrated from Germany to
RUSSIA, as listed in the roster of the original settlers of the Volga-German
colony of OBERMONJOU, where he settled in 1767. Upon arrival at the colony
on AUGUST, 1767, he stated that he was 36 years of age, that he was a
Catholic, that he was from Weisbach (Germany), and that he was a baker by
trade. Anna _______-, his wife, was 29 years of age (Pleve 1998).
The author corresponded with the directors of the diocesan archives that
house Catholic parish records were the only records kept in these towns in
the early years. The only Weisbach that had records of any KRANNAWITTER (or
any other similar spelling of that surname) families living in close
proximity was the village mentiONEd above.
Michael Gronawitter, baptized in 1731--according to records in Weisbach,
Lower Bavaria--would have been 36 in 1767, as Johannes Krannewitter
indicated that he was when he settled in OBERMONJOU in 1767. In German
naming practice at the time of Johannes Krannewitter's migration, men were
ofTEN given TWO names and would refer to themselves in official documents by
either or both of these names. It is highly plausible that Johannes and
Michael were ONE and the same. Johannes Michael was a common given-name
combination. Since the Catholic Church in OBERMONJOU available for that
early a date, it is impossible to verify this claim using those sources
(Pleve 1999). Only circumstantial evidence can be used to provide further
support for the assumption that Johannes and Michael was the same person.
Particularly
relevant is the fact that the information about Johannes Krannewiter's place
or origin was extracted from the list of the first settlers of OBERMONJOU
(PLeve 1998).
The place of origin was extracted from the list of the first settlers of
OBERMONJOU (Pleve 1998). The place of origin named in this source is by and
large more specific and more reliable than that listed in the other
principal source of information about the early German migrants to the Volga
colonies; the Ivan Kuhlberg records, which were ship passenger lists
prepared in 1766 when the first-settlers list is usually the place of birth,
which makes it easier to find a connection in Germany (Schmidt 1998).
At any rate, thanks to early RUSSIAn census records an unbroken line can be
traced from Johannes and Anna Krannewitter to most of the families descended
from theMARRIED Dr. Igor Pleve, who is on the faculty of Saratov State
University and is an expert in Volga-German research, and the American
Historical Society of Germans from RUSSIA (AHSGR) based in Lincoln,
Nebraska, have been instrumental in providing information drawn from these
early censuses. The AHSGR has published 1798 census data for OBERMONJOU and
for the other Volga-German colonies (Rye 1995; Pleve 1998). Chapter TWO of
this book, EARLY VOLGA-GERMAN RECORDS USED IN THIS GENEOLOGICAL REPORT,
focuses on FOUR early sources that were referred to during the research
process; and it summarizes the information taken from these records. Later
censuses, or "revision lists" of earlier enumerations, were taken in the
years 1816, 1834, and 1850 (Mai (Brent) 1998; Pleve 1998; Rye 1995; LEIKER
1999; Rupp 1999). From this RUSSIAn data and from death, census, church,
family, and other records of family members who later moved to America,
pedigree charts have been made fro THREE related OBERMONJOU families;
KRANNAWITTER, DECHANT, and BRULL; these charts are included in Chapter TWO
(See figures 1, 2, and 3).
A genealogical profile of KRANNAWITTER families living in the U.S., Canada,
Argentina, RUSSIA, Kazakhstan, and Germany who aware descended from Johannes
and Anna Elizabeta Krannewitter is contained in CHAPTER THREE,,AN
ELEVEN-GENERATION REGISTER OF SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JOHANNES AND ANNA
ELISABETA (SATTLER) KRANNEWITTER. This chapter consists of a
computer-generated report of ELEVEN generations. All the sources used to
compile this data aware included in the bibliographic list. Many of the
families are traced through only a few generations.
Before discussing any more of the conTENt of the book, the author would like
to present an abbreviated history of the Volga German colonies and in this
way provide a historical backdrop for the benefit of the reader. The
information which follows was taken from TWO excellent books writTEN about
the Volga-German colonies: Wir Wollen Deutsche Bleiben, by George J.
Walters, 1982; and The German Colonies on the Lower Volga, by Gottlieb
Beratz, 1914, translated by Leona W. Pfeifer, Lavern J. Ripley, and Dona
Reeves-Marquardt, edited by Adam Giesinger, all of whom worked in
cooperation with the AHSGR (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914).
The ancestors of the Volga Germans were among an estimated 27, 000 Western
Europeans, primarily Germans, who migrated to RUSSIA from 1764 to 1767 upon
the invitation of the RUSSIAn empress Catherine II, better known as
Catherine the Great. The Catholic settlement of OBERMONJOU, which was the
home of all the KRANNAWITTER families that later migrated to America, was
ONE of 104 Mother Colonies--32 Catholic and 72 Protestant--established by
these immigrants on both sides of the lower Volga River.
OBERMONJOU was ONE of 27 colonies founded in 1766 and 1767 by Chevailer
Caneau de Beauregard, a native of Switzerland who directed a French company
employed by the RUSSIAn government to recruit colonists. The subdivision in
which these 27 colonies were located was called the Fief de Catherine.
OBERMONJOU, which was named for the French recruiting agent Otto de MUNJOR,
was founded 5 MARCH, 1767, by 82 families, including 160 males and 139
females, for a total of 299 (Stump 1978). OBERMONJOU was located about 40
miles northeast of the city of Sartov and was situated on the east side, or
Wiesenseite (meadow side), of the Volga River. (See figure 30.) The west
side of the Volga River was known as the Bergseite (hilly side) (Walters
1982; Beratz 1914).
To temp the war-weary farmers, merchants, artisans, and soldiers of Germany
and other European countries, Catherine the Great--a German herself--issued
official edicts that offered free communal land, paid travel expenses,
freedom of religion (as long as the people were Christians), freedom of
self-government, and the opportunity to carry on ONE's particulate trade
(Walters 1982; Beratz 1914).
Upon arrival in Oranienbaum, a seaport near St. Petersburg, RUSSIA, the
colonists--after a difficult land and sea journey from recruiting points in
Germany--received the first of many setbacks they would encounter. They were
informed by the RUSSIAn Commissar Ivan Kuhlberg, who served as Catherine's
official spokesman to the settlers that they would all have to become
farmers, regardless of Catherine and her immediate successors. These
pan-Slavic circles had grown suspicious and envious of the prosperous Volga
Germans, who lost the liberty to rule themselves, to instruct their children
in the German language, and to avoid conscription into the RUSSIAn army. The
abrogation of these concessions prompted the Volga Germans to take advantage
of an escape clause in the second of Catherine's TWO manifestos of
invitations: the right to quit RUSSIA at any time after paying a tax on
profits made in the empire. ONE of the destinations this time, after careful
consideration and exploration by a group of scouts appointed by the
colonists, was North America--specifically the fertile Great Plains of the
U.S. Others chose to migrate to South America, where they settled in Brazil
and Argentina (Walters 1982).
Typical of the movement was the settlement of Ellis and Rush counties in
Kansas, where between THREE and FOUR thousand Catholic Volga Germans
eventually locateDIED They founded the settlements of Herzog (Victoria),
MUNJOR, Katherinestadt, (Catherine), Liebenthal, Schoenchen, and Pfeifer
(Walters 1982).
Several KRANNAWITTER families and individuals from OBERMONJOU are known to
have migrated to America. The following paragraphs detail the dates of their
arrivals, their ultimate destinations, and the different spellings of the
surname they utilizeDIED The number in superscript between the immigrant's
given name and surname indicate the number of his or her generation of
descent from Johannes Krannewitter, the original Volga-German settler. The
parentheses after the immigrant's surname enclose a complete list of the
names and generation numbers of each of his or her
KRANNAWITTER ancestors leading up to Johannes Krannewitter. This is same
pattern will be used throughout this book--except when the type must be
single-spaced, in which event brackets will enclose the number of the
generation of descent. Chapter THREE, entitled AN ELEVEN-GENERATION REGISTER
OF SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JAHANNES KRANNEWITTER AND ANNA ELIZABETA
SATTLER, contains a complete description of each KRANNAWITTER immigrant's
family.
Brothers Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER both move to the U.S. albeit at
different times. Johannes came to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas as single
man in 1876. ONE of the original settlers of MUNJOR, Kansas, he later
MARRIED Helen LEIKER. Raymond came to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS 1901 with his
second wife Mary Krapp, son John KRANNAWITTER (who was Raymond's son by his
first wife Maria Catherine DECHANT--John is the author's grandfather), and
daughters Julia and Rosa KRONEWITTer (who were the oldest children of
Raymond and Mary). Later, another daughter, Katherine KRONEWITTer, and a
son, Joseph KRONEWITTer, were BORN in the U.S. Joseph and his sisters
spelled their name KRONEWITTer, as do their descendants today. Raymond's
brother Johannes and his family migrated to the U.S. in 1901, they spent a
short time in ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas; then they, too, moved to New
Mexico where Raymond worked with his brother. In 1907, Raymond and his
family moved back to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS and settled near Schoenchen.
Many years later, ONE of Johannes' sons, Michael KRANNAWITTER, also moved
back to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS and settled near Severin, located about
FIVE miles northwest of Catherine.
Stories
The rest of Johannes' children remained in New Mexico, but he and his wife
also eventually returned to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS where they settled in
Hays, the county seat (Pleve 1998; KRANNAWITTER (Michael J. 1993.)
Margareta KRANNAWITTER, widow of Johann LEIKER, moved to MUNJOR, ELLIS
COUNTY, AND KANSAS, with her children in 1876. Her son, Peter LEIKER, was
ONE of the FIVE scouts sent in 1874 by the Catholic Volga-German colonies to
explore the possibilities of establishing settlements in the central plains
of the U.S. (Pleve 1998; LEIKER (Victor C. 1976.)
Magdalena Younger, widow of Franz Krannewitter, accompanied her daughter
Barbara Krannewitter and Barbara's husband John Pfannnensteil to MUNJOR,
Kansas, by 1880. Franz was the brother of Johannes Krannewitter who was the
father of Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER, discussed above. (Pleve 1998;
Meyer 1976).
Maria Elizabeth Krannewitter (KRONEWITTer) was the sister of Franz and
Johannes mentiONEd in the paragraph above. She and her husband John ROHR
also moved to MUNJOR by 1880 (Pleve 1998; Meyer 1976).
In 1878, brothers Michael and Joseph Kranewitter--who were brothers of the
U.S. immigrants Johannes and Raymond KRANNAWITTER discussed above--migrated
to the province of Entrée Rios, Argentina, with their adoptive parents
Joseph and Catalina (Unrein) Wendler. They were among the founders of the
Volga-German settlement of Marienthal (Valle Maria), located about 25 miles
south of the city of Parana (Wendler 1990; Kranewitter (Vicente) 1990).
Raphael
Kranewitter--who was probably the brother of Johannes, Raymond, Michael, and
Joseph--remained in RUSSIA. His descendents are profiled in Chapter FIVE
(Dreher Katharina) 1995).
Adam Kranewitter and his family moved to Valle Maria, Argentina, in 1878.
They were also among the founders of that settlement (Pleve 1998;
Kranewitter (Vincent) 1990.
Johannes "Weisse" Kranewitter and his wife Margaretha C. LEIKER migrated to
Valle Maria in 1880. John Conrad Kranewitter and his family also migrated to
Brazil in 1877 and then to Valle Maria in 1880 (PLeve 1998; Kranewitter
(Vicente 1990).
Raymond KRONEWITT moved first to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas, in 1902,
and later to the Peace River valley of Alberta, Canada, in 1913. Raymond's
aunt Anna Maria Krannewitter and her husband John BOOS and their children
migrated to ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS in 1892. Raymond KRONEWITT's first
cousins Peter and Frank Kronwitter moved to the U.S.--Peter in 1903 and
Frank in 1904. Peter and his wife Dorothea BOOS returned to RUSSIA in 1924
and died there. ONE of their daughters Anna Kron (e)witter and her husband
John DECHANT moved to the Peace River valley of Alberta in 1915. Peter's
brother Frank Kronwitter and his family settled in Pueblo, Colorado. (See
Chapter FIVE). (Pleve 1998; Krapp; 1986; DECHANT 1987).
Present-day descendants of the FIVE KRANNAWITTER/Kron(e)witter families who
migrated to North America, the SIX Kranewitter families who migrated to
South America and TWO of the Kranewitter families stayed in RUSSIA are
listed in Chapters FOUR and FIVE.
Chapter FOUR, current listings of related Volga-German families and
individuals, as well as the many U.S. families that have variant spellings
of the surname and do not have an obvious connection to the Volga-German
families. The families are ranked according to the frequency of appearance
of each particular spelling in the U.S. telephONE directories or in other
U.S. indexes. Also discussed are the areas in the U.S. where there are high
concentrations of these families. Various immigration records, the social
security Death index, and listings found on the internet were also used to
compile this data.
Chapter FIVE, A FOCUS On RELATED KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON
RELATED KRAANEWITTER FAMILIES LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND
GERMANY, provides up-to-date listings of the KRONEWITT families in Canada,
Kranewitter families in Argentina, and Kranewitter families who chose to
remain in what later became the Soviet Union. The information for the
American KRONEWITT and Kranewitter descendents came from Internet
directories. The information for the RUSSIAn Kranewitter descendants came
from private correspondence. These RUSSIAn families underwent terrible
ordeals to attain their present positions. Between 1876 and 1914, around
200,000 Volga Germans migrated to Siberia, the U.S. Canada, and countries in
South America.
The number of Volga Germans that remained in what later became the Volga
German Republic increased to around 600,000 in 1914. In 1912, the population
of OBERMONJOU had reached 2,882. By 1926, it had fallen to 2,157, due
largely to a deadly famine that had swept through the Volga colonies, which
were already devastated by crop failures in 1920 and 1921. The previous
disastrous effects of WWI and the resulting civil strife and anti-German
sentiment added to the misfortunes of the German settlers. The tyrannical
policies of Josef Stalin--brutally enforced by his communist cohorts,
another widespread famine in 1932, the con script ion of the young men of
the towns into the Soviet army, and the banishment of property holders to
prison camps all contributed to the steady decline of OBERMONJOU and the
other Volga-German towns. The final blow came during WWII when the German
army was approaching the Volga region. Stalin, fearing collaboration of the
Volga Germans with the enemy, ordered the banishment of the entire
population in AUGUST, 1941, along with the abrogation of the Autonomous
Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga Germans, which had been established
in 1924. Some 390,000 Volga Germans, which had been established in 1924.
Some 390,000 Volga Germans were resettled in Siberia and Kazakhstan (Walters
1982; Beratz 1914).
Among those people resettled were several Kranewitter families. The author
has contacted TWO descendants of these families: Vladimir Kranewitter and
Katherine Dreher. Their story and the story of other relatives still living
in RUSSIA and Kazakhstan aware recounted in Chapter 5, A FOCUS ON RELATED
KRONEWITT FAMILIES LIVING IN CANADA AND ON RELATED KRANEWITTER FAMILIES
LIVING IN ARGENTINA, RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN, AND GERMANY. Now that the RUSSIAn
Government has eased restrictions on the German minority, more are trickling
back to the former Volga German Republic near Savator. However, because the
RUSSIAn economic situation is so bleak at the present time, many others are
filling out the countless forms and submitting the endless documents
necessary to immigrate to Germany. Katharina Dreher, mentiONEd above, and
her family have joined the thousands of Volga Germans who have returned to
their motherlanDIED
Chapter SIX, OTHER FAMILIES WITH VARIANT SPELLINGS OF THE KRANNAWITTER
SURNAME LIVING IN EURAOPE AND SOUTH AMERICA, contains statistics on the
hundreds of families scattered throughout Germany, Austria, Italy,
Switzerland, France, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Paraguay who have
different versions of the surname KRANNAWITTER. These families and
individuals are not obviously related to the Krannewitter couple that
settled in OBERMONJOU, RUSSIA, in 1767, Any concentration of families with a
similar spelling of the surname is noteDIED Sources for this information
were also telephONE directories found on the internet.
Chapter SEVEN, A TRIBUTE TO WILFRED W. KRANNAWITTER (1924-1970), RADIOMAN
SECOND CLASS, U.S.S. SARASOTA APA 204, WWII, IS A MEMORIAL to the author's
father. Wilfred W. ("Willie") KRANNAWITTER served in the south Pacific at
the end of WWII. His ship, the Attack Transport U.S.S. Sarasota APA 204,
took part in the battle of WWII-- the Battle of Okinawa. This chapter
includes an itinerary of all the ports of call and war-time duties of the
Sarasota. Also included are photographs, a history of the Sarasota's
post-war activities, and an artistic rendition of the ship itself. After the
war, Wilfred bought land and went into farming and stock rising. He later
fought a personal battle against the neurological disease Guillain-Barre
Syndrome for 17 years before it claimed his life in 1970. (See figures
22-24).

Kranewitter and Wolfgang Kranebitter who received a coat-of-arms in
recognition of service rendered to the Austrian crown in its struggle in the
neighboring Engadin region in SwitzerlanDIED The Kranewitter coat-of-arms
was obtained in 1950 by Richard MARRIED KRANNAWITTER (1909-1991) while he
was in Germany with the judge Advocate office at the end of WWII. The
relationship between the original Volga-German settler Johannes Krannewitter
and the cousins Hans and Wolfgang Kranewitter is unknown.

maps displaying the former and current homes of
Krannewitter/Kranewitter/KRANNAWITTER/KRONEWITTer/KRONEWITT families in
Europe, Asia, North America, and South America. These maps, which are taken
from a variety of sources, show the historical migration of the family from
the original home in Germany, to the lower Volga River valley of RUSSIA, to
other parts of the former Soviet Union, and to the colonies centered in
ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas; entrée Rios, Argentina; and Alberta,
Canada. (See figures 29-35.)

photographs are of descendants of these same families living in the U.S.,
Canada, Argentina, and RUSSIA. (See figures 36-58).
The BIBLIOGRAPHY LIST is an alphabetical arrangement of every source used to
compile this book. The list includes books, booklets, Magazine articles,
Internet Websites, death records, published and unpublished family
histories, private correspondence, census, and other records.
The last section of this book is a surname index which consists of an
alphabetical list of the surname KRANNAWITTER have already been discussed in
this introduction. The reader will notice that in many instances in this
book there are also several spellings for certain given names--for example,
Catherine, Catharine, Catharina, Katharina, Catalina, etc. The reason for
this is that each given name is presented as it was spelled in the record
that it was extracted from, as are the surnames.
To make matters worse, from 1773 to 1775 Emyliano Pugachev and his followers
staged a rebellion against Catherine. They also encouraged the Kirghiz to
stage a rebellion of their own. InTENsifying raids against the German
settlements. Large areas of the Volga colonists were devastateDIED Some of
Pugachev's followers, including about 100 Germans recruited from other Volga
colonies, entered the town of Katherinenstadt, where they harassed and
robbed the inhabitants of horses and guns. Katherinenstadt, the largest of
the Volga colonists on the Wiesenseite, was only about FIVE miles southwest
of OBERMONJOU. Amid all these tragedies, men totally unaccustomed to the
rigors of farming were forced to learn that trade. Crop failures in the
early years added to the colonists' desperation (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914).
After TWO generations of colonists had lived and died, conditions for the
German settlers along the lower Volga slowly began to improve. They
eventually prevailed and prospereDIED As the original Mother Colonies became
too crowded, Daughter Colonies were establisheDIED Fortunately, the colony
of OBERMONJOU was never attacked by Kirghiz or by Pugachev's rebels. In
1767, 299 people (82 families) had founded OBERMONJOU. TWO years later, the
population was 324 (91 families). By 1798, when the first comprehensive
census of OBERMONJOU was taken, the population had grown to 429. Through the
19th century, the population steadily increased as living conditions
improveDIED But the good times were soon to end (Walters 1982; Beratz 1914).
The number of Volga Germans that remained in what later became the Volga
German Republic increased to around 600,000 in 1914. In 1912, the population

The BIBLIOGRAPHY LIST is an alphabetical arrangement of every source used to

The last section of this book is a surname index which consists of an

Catherine, Catharine, Catharina, Katharina, Catalina, etc. The reason for
this is that each given name is presented as it was spelled in the record

Johannes Krannewitter and his wife Anna Elizabeta Sattler arrived in the
Volga-German colony of Obermonjou, Russia on 3, August 1767, registered No.
63 on the recorded list of the first settlers. Weisbach (Germany) was
designated as Johannes' place of origin. At the end of the year 1767,
Johannes gave his age as 36, and Anna Elizabeta gave hers as 29. This would
indicate that he had been born about 1731, and she about 1738. Johannes
listed his religion as Catholic and his occupation as baker (Pleve 1998).
The Catholic settlement of Obermonjou was establisned on the east side of
the Volga River--about 40 miles northeast of Saratov--by 82 families on 5
March 1767. It was named for Major Otto Friedrich de Monjou, a Frenchman who
had been employed by representatives of the Russian empress Catherine the
Grea tto recruit people from Germany who would settle the relatively empty
expanses along the lower Volga River (Koch 1977). One of these settlers was
Johannes Krannewitter from Weisbach, Germany.
German online telephone listings reveal six town s named Weisbach
(Teleauskunft 1999). In order to ascertain which of these towns Johannes
Krannewitter came from, the author neede to examine the historical records
that might bear reference to him. The only German records that were kept and
that would contain the needed genealogical information for the period in
question--around 1720 to 1770--are Catholic parich records of baptisms and
marriages. All of the parish and docesan archives that contain data for
these towns were contacted, and the researchers there investigated the files
of these there from the early to the middle 1700s. Following is a
description of the search.
The Bezirk (state) of Rheinland-Pfalz is the site of two towns called
Weisbach, one of which is located about 10 miles northeast of the city of
Zweibrucken. Diocesan records for that place have been kept since 1738, but
registers there did not contain any references to individuals or families
with the name Krannewitter or with any name spelled similarly (Mitsching
1998). The other town namedd Weisbach in Rheinland-Pfalz is located near the
community of Bad Ems. It was designated on the online telephone listings but
was not mentioned in Catholic parish records (Stenger 1999).
There is a village called Weisbach near the town of Eppelborn in the state
of Saarland. In this village, which is situated about 10 miles north of
Saarland, parish records contain no references to individuals named
Krannewitter of anything similar (Pfarramt Eppelborn 1998).
Three localities named Weisbach are located in the state of Bayern
(Bavaria). A village called Wiesbach, which lies near the community of
Ainring in Oberbayer (Upper Bavaria) had no parish records of families with
the surname Krannewitter or anything similar (Pfister 1999). Another town
called Weisbach, also Upper Bavaria, is located about 45 miles northeast of
Munich. Researchers there would also find no parich records referring to
families named Krannewitter or any similar spelling variant (Mai 1998).
Diocesan researchers of the parish archives of the town just mentioned also
examined the records for another village named Weisbach, which is about
seven miles farther north. This village is situated in Niederbayern (Lower
Bavaria) and lies just north of the line that separates Upper Bavaria from
Lower Bavaria. Records for the parish includes the tiny hamlet of Weisbach,
lower Bavaria, contain several references to families with surnames similar
to Krannewitter living there at the time in question (Mai 1998). At least
one of these families was living in the immediate area around Weisbach at
the same time that Johannes Krannewitter was born (Mai 1998).
Weisbach, Lower Bavaria, is situated in the extreme northwestern part of the
Landkreis (County) of Eggenfelden and lies approximately 50 miles northeast
of Munich. More precisely, it is located about one-mile west-southwest of
the town of Obertrennbach and lies on the line between the county of
Eggenfelden and the county of Vilsbiburg. Obertrennbach and Gangkofen, a
town about three miles south, are the centers of the two Catholic parishes
which contain references to Krannewitter families (Mai 1998; Hall 1978).
No baptisimal record for Johannes Krannewitter, born about 1731 as notes
above, was uncovered by parish researchers. Gangkofen/Obertrennbach parish
registers do, however, indicate that Adam Kronawitter (sic), an itinerant
dragoneer assigned to Mitterfels--a town about 40 miles to the north--and
his wife Anna had a son named Michael Gronawitter (sic) (The surname was
spelled differnetly in the same baptisimal entry in the parish register.)
who was baptized 3 May, 1731. The godfather was Michael Gruewinckler, a
farmer from the village of Wettersdorf, which is located about one mile
north of Weisbach across the line in the county of Vilsbiburg (Mai 1998).
Michael Gronawitter, born 1731, would have been the same age as Johannes
Krannewitter, who was 36 when he settled in Obermonjou, Russia, in 1767.
Based on the fact that both men were the same age, the fact theat men were
from towns called Weisbach has records of families with surnames similar to
Krannewitter, a hypothesis establishing a connection between these two
individuals can be formulated: Perhaps the baptisimal name of Johannes
Krannewitter, the Russian immigrant, was Michael; and Johannes did not use
his baptisimal name in any of the civil documents recorded in Russia. These
civil documents will be discussed in the next chapter.
Records from Gangkofen list other baptisms of individuals with surnames
similar to Krannewitter. Almost 20 years before the baptism of Michael
Gronawitter, Anna Cronawetter (sic), daughter of Matthais Cronawetter and
his wife Kunigunde--residents of Holzreit--was baptized on 12 December,
1712. The godmother was Anna Aigner, wife of Christopher Aigner, a farmer
from Holzreit (Mai 1998), Detailed mapes of the Gangkofen/Obertrennbach area
do not show a town named Holzreit (Hall 1978).
Maria Barbara Kronewitter (sic), daughter of Adam Cronewitter (sic)-- a
retired, itinerant dragoneer--and his wife Anna, was baptized 3 September
1714. The godmother was Barbara Veichtner, wife of Jakob Velchtner, resident
of the town of Malling (Mai 1998). Malling is located about three-fourths of
a mile west of Weisbach (Hall 1978). (Based on the similarity of names and
occupation, it is presumed that Adam and Anna Cronewitter were also te
parents of Michael Gronawitter-mentioned above--who was born 17 years later.
Thirty-three years later, on 1 September 1747, Martin Krunerwitter (sic),
son of Sebastian Krunerwitter--a vagabond--and his wife Elisabeth, was
baptized. Thegodfather was Martin Wiser, a merchant from Weisbach (Mai
1998). Adding to the strength of the hypothesis formulated above is the fact
that the given names Adam, Michael, and Sebastian were repeated in the
generations following Johannes Krannewitter, the Volga-German settler.
The archive director of the Catholic records in the Regensburg bishoprisc,
which houses the Gangkofen/Obertrennbach registers, commented that due to
the paucity of records for the Krannewitter families in the Weisbach area
and due to the transitory nature of these families, further research would
be difficult. Archivists also checked marriage records of the
Gangkofen/Obertrennbach parishes and all the records of the several
neighboring parishes; they failed to uncover any more references to
Krannewitter families. The archive director recommended hiring a
professional genealogist to uncover any more data (Mai 1998).
Inconclusion, it is significant that Gangkofen/Obertrennbach is the only
Catholic parish in Germany, so far encountered by the author, that includes
both a town named Weisbach and records that refer to families with surnames
that are spelling variants of Krannewitter. Regretfully, these records are
isolated. As already stated, archive directors examined records in the five
other German towns named Weisbach but failed to located any surnames similar
to Krannewitter. Lamentable is the fact that no baptisimal, borth, or
marriage records of an individual named Johannes Krannewitter were
uncovered. It is hoped that further research will resolve the riddle of his
place of origin. Until then, it must remain pure speculation that Weisbach,
in the parish of Obertrennbach, in the counties of Eggenfelden and
Vilsbiburg, Lowere Bavaria, is the place of origin of Johannes Krannewitter.
The 1798 revision list, or census, of Obermonjou, Russia, revealed the
identitities of Johannes and Anna Elizabeta (Sattler) Krannewitter's
children and the approximate time of Johannes' death. The 1798 census of
Obermonjou will be dicussed at length in each chapter. Margareta
Krannewitter, 30, was apparently the oldest child of Johannes and Anna
Elisabeta, according to information reported in the 1798 census. In the
census, Margareta--who had been born around 1768, probably in
Obermonjou--was listed as the wife of Joseph Nurberger, 31. THey were living
at the house of Wilhelm Seib, 53, and his wife Anna Maria Hartman, 68. Josef
was Anna Maria's son by her first husband Valentin Nurberger. Josef
Nurnberger and Margareta Krannewitter were the parents of two daughters;
Margareta, four and Katherina, one and one-half (Rye 1995).
Gerhard Krannewiter, 28, born about 1770, probably in Obermonjou, was
evidently the only son of Johannes Krannewitter and his wife Dorotea Wagner,
22, were residing at the house of Dorotea's parents Friedrich Wagner, 70,
from Paninskaya (Schoenchen), and Barbara Dinkel, 69. Gerhard was working
for his father-in-law, who was noted as being unable to work. Listed with
Gerhard and Dorotea was a son, Nikolaus, three. Next door to them was the
house of Johannes Neulist, 43, and his wife Anna Elisabeta Sattler, 57. (In
the 1767 list of the first settlers of Obermonjou-- which will also be
discussed in the next chapter--Anna Elizabeta reported that age was 29,
indicated that she had been born about 1738. Therefore, when the 1798 census
was enumerated, she would have been around 60. Residing with Johannes
Neulist and Anna Elisabeta sattler was Katherina Krannewitter, 19, noted as
Anna Elisabeta's daughter by her first husband Johannes Krannewitter. Also
residing with them was Christian Minrad (Meinrad), four, an orphan from
Solothurn (Wittman). Johannes Krannewitter's daughter Katheirna had been
born about 1779. In the register of debts for annual payment accrued by the
residents of Obermonjou--recorded 3 September 1785--the name Johannes
Krannewitte was not listed (Rye 1995). This would indicate that he had died
sometime between 1779 and 1785. Anna Elizabeta Sattler died after 1798.
According to later Obermonjou census data, which will be detailed in the
next chapter, Gerhard Krannewitter and Dorotea Wagner had four more sons:
Franz Krannewitter, born in 1800, Peter Krannewitter, born in 1802,
Sebastain Krannewitter, born in 1804, and Johannes Krannewitter, born in
1812. They also had two daughters: Margaretha born 1819, and Barbara born

BEFORT moved to the U.S. in 1876. Informant (Barbara STEINBOCK).
I would like our family history to begin with my great grandparents. Conrad
and Anna Margaretha (Kronnewitter) BEFORT, along with their TWO small
children, Paula and Peter, emigrated from OBERMONJOUr, RUSSIA, situated
along the Volga, north of Saratov.
Leaving on SEPTEMBER 18, 1876, they arrived NOVEMBER 1, 1876. They landed in
New York and immediately headed westwarDIED Conrad and Anna, along with
other immigrants, settled in and founded what is now known as MUNJOR,
Kansas. Upon their arrival (as this was open prairie) the first in order of
things was to provide shelter. Their first home was built of sod cut from
the prairie. After taking care of their immediate needs, and to survive the
coming winter, the next most important thing was to build a place of
worship.
Their first church was built in 1877. They were strong in their Catholic
faith, and their lives were centered on their religious training.
Conrad and Anna were farmers and were active in their community and church.
As the years passed, they eventually had a family of thirteen children. My
grandfather, John C. BEFORT, was BORN in MUNJOR, FEBRUARY 18, 1890. He was
the ninth child and youngest son.
Conrad died AUGUST 12, 1914, survived by his wife and TEN children. Anna
lived in her home in Hays, Kansas, for some years, and the remainder of her
life with her son and daughter-in-law John and Barbara.
John C. BEFORT, son of Conrad BEFORT and Anna Margaretha (Kronnawitter)
BEFORT, was BORN on FEBRUARY 18, 1890. Barbara Steinbock, the daughter of
Alois and Elizabeth Steinbeck, was a sister to triplets She was BORN on JUNE
3, 1893. On OCTOBER 24, 1911, they were MARRIED in MUNJOR, Kansas. They
began their life together on a farm several miles west of MUNJOR. They
remained there until 1920. During those years FIVE children were BORN to
them; Josephine, 6/27/1912; Albina; 9/3/1913, Clarence, 8/4/1915; William,
2/2/1917; and Alex, 10/17/1919.
In the year of 1920, John and Barbara sold their farm and purchased half a
section of land half a mile north of Hyacinth, Kansas. The home, barn and
other buildings had been built about THREE years earlier. TEN other children
were BORN to them the following years; Elizabeth, OCTOBER 19, 1920; Agnes,
7/8/1922; Jane 5/3/1924; John Jr. 9/18/1925, Ester, 8/31/1926; Bernice,
4/24/1928; Irene, 12/13/1929 twins Alois and Conrad, 10/30/1931 and Francis
10/6/1933.
John Jr. and Elizabeth died as infants. Alex was a veteran of World War II
in the U.S. Army and saw action in Germany and France. He died in 10/1951.
He was survived by his wife, Rose (Steinlein) BEFORT, and infant daughter,
Gloria. Irene died 8/16/1965, at age 35, survived by her husband, Leroy
Wilson and small son, David Conrad (twin son) died in 1947 at SEVENteen
years of age. Francis died in a power line accident 8/22/1961. He was in the
army from 1954-1955. He was age 27 when he passed away. He was survived by
his wife Darlene (HAMMERSMITH) BEFORT and TWO small daughters, Rosemary, 4
and Margaret, twenty-THREE months old.
John and Barbara worked long hours to provide for and rear their family.
Barbara would begin her day at 4'oclock in the morning to do her baking,
laundry, and help with outside morning chores, including milking cows and
feeding animals. During harvest she was in the fields working along side the
men. She was also a seamstress and made most of the children's clothing.
Their children received their elementary education at Hyacinth in a ONE-room
school, where all EIGHT grades were taught by ONE teacher. Simon GOETZ and
Florence Ross were the teachers during those years. Their children walked to
school most of the time as it was only about a mile away from home. However,
other times, after a particularly heavy snow storm, the children looked
forward to going to school in a ONE-horse open sleigh. John would bundle
them up in a fur lap robe and don his buffalo fur coat and away they would
go.
They were members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, also located at
Hyacinth, where their children received their sacraments and spiritual
training.
John died at 43 years of age on JUNE 30, 1933. Barbara died at 48 years of
age on JULY 1, 1941. They were survived by thirteen of their children.
The Descendants of Heinrich & Kunigunde (DOEFLER) BEFORT
Our forefathers who left Germany to go to
RUSSIA to make a better life for themselves
and their children. It is dedicated as well to
our brave forefathers who left RUSSIA to make
a better life for themselves and their children
in the United States. It is especially dedicated
to those of our relatives who stayed in RUSSIA
and endured over fifty years exiled in prison
work camps for their crime of being of German
ancestry.
Forward
Many books and papers about other Volga
German families and their descendants, have
been published over the last fifty years, and
are treasured documents for not only the
serious researcher, but also those with a
passing interest as well. This book is ONE the
descendants of ONE BEFORT family that left
Germany to go to RUSSIA.
While every effort has been made in this
compilation to provide accurate and complete
information, endeavors to acquire additional
facts and details from both the United States
and European sources continue. Any
omission of person (s), places, or events
that deserve inclusion be rein is purely
uninTENtional.
The founders of MUNJOR were part of the
largest single expedition of Unsere Leute to
emigrate from RUSSIA. Under the leadership
of Balthazar Braggart 108 families left
saratov by train on JULY 8, 1876. Their body
consisted of departures from Herzog,
OBERMONJOU, Louis, Graf, Wittman, Marienthal,
Schoenchen, and Gattung. The group
separated at Eydtkunen, with the MUNJOR
founders among those electing to sail via the
Hamburg-American line. Arriving in New York,
they then proceeded by train to Herzog. After
remaining there several days, they repaired a
site on Big Creek a short distance north of the
present village of MUNJOR. Some TWO months
later they moved to the present town site in
Section 25, Township 14, Range 18 in
Wheatland Township.
On NOVEMBER 1, 1876 an additional group
came to MUNJOR. They had emigrated from
Saratov on SEPTEMBER 30 and sailed from
Hamburg on the "Gellert" of the Hamburg of
the Hamburg-American line. This body
consisted of the following families:
Among them were Konrad BEFORT and his wife
Anna Margaretha and their children Peter,
and Paullina.

b. 4/15/1855
Alois or Aloysius Steinbock and his wife, Elizabeth ( Geta ) Steinbock came
to the USA
from Germany about Nov. 1905. They brought with them a daughter, Barbara
Steinbock
who was born June 3, 1893 who was 11 years old and Henry Steinbock who was
born:
date unknown. There was another child born to them in Russia who died there.
They settled in Wamega, Kansas as Alois was a railroader.
On November 3, 1906, his wife, Elizabeth gave birth to Triplets: two boys
and a girl.
Their names were Adam, Susanna and Joseph. Alois's wife, Elizabeth died on
November
16, 1906. Alois didn't have the means to care for the triplets and work,
too, so he wanted
them to be adopted by Catholic families.
Susanna was adopted by: George and Barbara Prockish and the boys still
hadn't been
adopted. They were all baptized on November 5, 1906 at St. Bernards Church,
Wamega,
Kansas. Sponsors were: Adam Reichenborn, Mrs. George Gareis and Joseph
Macht.
Susanna got ill and died Feb. 28, 1907 at Wamega, Kans. Susanna and her
Mother are
buried on the same plot at the Wamega cemetery.
NOTE: Aunt Jane Gottschalk looked up this information in 1995 and located
the grave
and put a tombstone there. I have certificates of births, Baptisms and
newspaper
articles of Elizabeth and Susanna on their death, and church records of the
cemetery
plots all obtained from Aunt Jane Gottschalk, Hays, Kansas
Then in 1907, Alois, Barbara and Henry headed west and there's where he met
and
married Agatha Wasinger Werth on Jan. 15, 1909. Barbara would have been 15
years
old at this time. It has been said that Barbara was doing housekeeping for
the Bahl's,
possibly her stepmother's sister Annie Bahl and, as the story goes, there
was a Werth
in Schoenchen who was a matchmaker and got John C. Befort and Barbara
Steinbock
to marry on October 24, 1911 making her 18 years old.
NOTE; I don't have much on Henry Steinbock. I do know he and his wife, Mary,
had
two daughters and lived in Chicage, Ill. I have the original photos of Henry
and Mary
and another one of Henry, Mary and the two girls. I also have the large oval
pictures
of Barbara and John C. Befort on their wedding day and one of Henry
Steinbock. I
would like to find the members down from Henry if anyone can help me obtain
this
information. I was told he died in the 1960's.
NOTE; Aunt Jane Gottschalk never could find where Alois Steinbock was buried
or
where the two boys were placed. I have two people working on the Aloysius
Steinbock genealogy from the Topeka area as of this week. According to
church
records, he spelled his name Aloysius.

And yes, the last name was spelled wrong in Mothers obituary, but I was
over-
ruled on that. I was disgusted when I found out the truth after the fact
when I went
through Mother's things and found some letters written to my Mother from
Grace
Steinbock. I didn't know her Uncle Joe and Aunt Grace, but when I came upon
these letters, I sent Grace a letter and obituary advising her of Mothers
death.
Then one day, I got a call from Grace and we talked for an hour. I did get
to meet
her July 1, 2002, just a few weeks ago. This is where I got all these
writings. Very
interesting.
New scholarship will help eight students take up
a dream where Bill Befort had to leave it
5/28/02 kb
HAYS, KS -- A dream that never came true for the man who dreamed it will yet
be helped toward reality for eight other people when the first distributions
are made this fall from the William J. "Bill" Befort Scholarship fund at
Fort Hays State University.
Eight future teachers at FHSU will receive scholarships of $400. The Befort
Scholarship is for students majoring in teacher education who show a
financial need.
Befort, who died in 2000, was one of 13 children from Hyacinth, KS, whose
parents died young. The family was able to stay together with the older
children raising the younger ones. All of the children finished eighth grade
at a nearby school, but none could attend high school, since they could not
afford the gas money to drive there. The children supported themselves with
gardening, farm work and doing odd jobs for neighbors.
Befort yearned to go to high school and college, but his circumstances made
that impossible. Instead, Befort ran a custom cutting business, worked in
oil fields, and eventually became a custodian at FHSU, a position he held
for 16 years.
Part of the attraction of the job, he once said, was "heating in the winter
and air-conditioning in the summer," a substantial improvement over
conditions in the oil field.
Befort's sister, Jane Gottschalk of Hays, talked about her brother's desire
to establish this scholarship: "Bill wanted to help students have the
opportunity to have an education that our family never had." Through his
estate, Befort has made his dream come true.
The 2002-2003 academic year recipients are Laurenda Werth of Hays, Tamara
Padfield of Nashville, KS, Jessica Stein of Eudora, Amadee Befort of
Victoria, Brett Koster of Clay Center, Travis Nittler of Medicine Lodge,
Brett Marrs of Hays and Nate Naasz of Beloit.

Notes For Alexander LEIKER:
Alex had a severely damaged heart with leakage of the valves causing the
heart to enlarge to double its normal size. He had rheumatic fever at the
age of 14. Alex worked as a farmer, carpenter, and a sheet metal man. He was
a quality carpenter as he was quiet, patient and articulate in whatever he
starteDIED The way he taught his sons how to saw wood reflected his approach
to life and people in general. He said that you let the saw ride without
effort and never force it. He related that if ONE forces something, it just
gets much harder to accomplish. He did not have taste for discipline his
children and would rarely become irritated or angry. When he had to
discipline he did it only half-hearted. It was obvious that he had his
Mother's compassion and patience. The year prior to his death, he built a
new home for the family and did all the finished carpentry work himself. He
had to rest for extended periods of time but then would proceed to work
again. After Christmas he developed pneumonia and died JANUARY 3, 1953 of a
combination of pneumonia, congestive heart failure and lung cancer. More

death: Congestive Heart Failure damaged by Rheumatic Fever at age 14.Medical
Information: Developed Lung Cancer shortly before his death. He was a smoker

Notes for Christina ENSLINGER:
Christina was a farmer, creamery and feed story operator, an avid gardener,
ironed clothes for a living and her last employment was as a housekeeper for
St. Anthony's Hospital until she retired Her husband was an invalid due to a
severe heart condition and so she primarily had to be the provider and care
giver. She was only 4' 10" tall and was called "Christina." She had TEN
children of which the first was still-BORN after a very difficult birth. She
almost single-handed raised NINE children, made sure they all went to High
school and they never went hungry. She made sure they had proper clothing
even if she had to sew most of the items herself. They were never without
proper shelter or medical care. She routinely would butcher 50 chickens,
with the assistance of the children, in ONE day and would sell them to a
local hospital. Her garden was large with a wide assortment of vegetables
and for many years grew THREE acres of potatoes. She canned anything not
consumed immediately including beef and pork. A typical Saturday meant
baking a dozen pies. Bread was baked at least every day. She baked many
wedding cakes. On Mondays she washed and it was no uncommon for her to wash
as many as twenty loads plus loads of wash and iron up to forty shirts since
she had SIX sons and a husband Until 1952 she cooked on a kerosene stove,
had no refrigerator, and used gas iron to iron clothing. Her washing machine
was a gas powered machine. More about Christina ENSLINGER:Burial: NOVEMBER

The Descendants of Peter PFANNENSTIEL
Peter PFANNENSTIEL was BORN 1753 in Ober-Mandershield-Treir, Rhine-Pfaz
(Rhineland-Palatine), Germany, and died 1774 in Kidnapped by the Khirgiz and
never heard from again. He MARRIED (1) Maria Catharina ? in
Ober-mandershield/Rhineland-Pfaz, Germany. She was BORN 1727 in
Ober-Mandereid-Treir, Rhineland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate), Germany and
died About 1767 in Mariental, (Tonoshurovkas), RUSSIA. He MARRIED (2) Sophia
Maragaretha DINKEL in Mariental (Tonokoshurovkas), Samara, RUSSIA, daughter
of Nika*olaus DINKEL and Anna ? She was BORN 1750 in Wittlich-Trier,
Rhineland, Palatinate), Germany
Notes for Peter PFANNENSTIEL:
Peter came from craftsmen of Kurtrier Kurfust and grain farmers of the town
of TuTENburg/Tudelback. He is referred to as Pter at times and other times
as Johann so his name is probaly Johann Peter and he genrally he was know n
as Peter. His family was Catholic. He was captured by the Khirgiz in a raid
on Mariental in 1774 and never heard from again. The 1767 census lists him
and his family from Trier, Ober Mandersheid, Germany.
This family adopted TWO oldest children (daughters). Their step-mother was a
wife of the coloniust, Peter Hertz, who died in the colony: The girls were
Mary Elizabetha, Age 13, and Anna Maria, age 10 years of age.
Peter and his brother Michael arrived in Mariental in 1767 with their
families. The colonies, intially wre named after their leader and Peter
PFANNENSTIEL was the first leader so the Colony was named PFANNENSTIEL and
later changed to Mariental. Peter's wife died shortly after arriving in
Mariental as she was the first settler to die. He MARRIED a second wife. In
1774 the Khirgiz raided several colonies including Mariental killing many
people and taking them as prisONErs. ONE of the PrisONErs was Peter. He was
never heard from again.
In the Beideck, RUSSIA village census of 1798, the following account is
given regarding the surviving second spouse of Peter PFANNENSTIEL.
Sophia Margaretha PFANNENSTIEL, age 42, (she MAY have been 48) she and her
son have resided temporarialy in several colonies since 1784 (should have
been 1774) when her husband (Johann PFANNENSTIEL) was captured from
Mariental by the Khirgiz; while in these colonies she adopted these
children; her son has not paid the 3 nible tax.
Children are listed as follows:
Johann Adams 20 (Identified as Johann Adam PFANNENSTIEL)
Johann Fredrichs 8illegitimate son, surname no listed
Johann Christians 6 illegitimate son, surname not listed
Johann Tobias s 3illegitimate son, surname not listed
Anna Margaretha 212illegitimate daughter, surname not listed
Johann Adam listed can not be the sme as Johann Adam born 1768 (age 30)
since Johann Adam born 1768 was MARRIED with THREE children under the age of
6, living with his wife in Ober-MUNJOU (Kriwoskoje), Samara, RUSSIA
Trier, Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany was probaly staging area and thus many
people had TWO towns listed, ONE probably being their home town and the
other the staging area. There also were far more people that had Treir
listed as their point of origin than probably lived in the relatively small
town of Trier. Thus, the individuals listed as having originated in Trier,
Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany MAY have had their home village elsewhere.

Immigration: JUNE 16, 1766, To Mariental (Tonkoshurovka(, RUSSIA
Notes for Maria Catharina ?
Arrived JUNE 16, 1766, Mariental (Tonkoshurovka), RUSSIA
Notes for Sophia Margaretha DINKEL:
Sophia DINKEL was the only girl with the name of Sophia that was listed in
the oringinal settlers list so she had to bne the Sophia Margarerha that
MARRIED the "PFANNENSTIEL" after his first wife awas the first settler to
die in Mariental. Peter's brother Michael MARRIED another woman after he was
released from captivity so had he MARRIED Sophia, he would not have been
able to remarry since Sophia was still alive. ONE has to conclude that it
was Peter's first wife who was the first settler to die.
Trier, Rhineland-Pfaz, Germany was probaly a staging area and thus many
people had TWO towns listed, ONE probaly being their home town and the other
the staging area. There also were far more people that had Trier lsited as

Trier. Thus, the individuals listed as having originated in Trier,

Notes for Peter PFANNENSTIEL:
Peter is not listed in the 1798 census so he either died or was murdered
and/or captured by the Khirgiz in 1774 with his father.

Notes for Johann Jacob BRUNGARDT:
I do not have any information that Johann Jacob BRUNGARDT is the son of
Peter BRUNGARDT but since he was BORN in Rhoedler, RUSSIA and I only know
ONE BRUNGARDT that settled in Rohleder, RUSSIA and this is Peter BRUNGARDT
so it is very likely the Johann Jacob BRUNGARDT is the son of Peter.

FEBRUARY 11, 1948 in Hays, ELLIS COUNTY, AND KANSAS, Kansas.
OUR GERMAN-RUSSIAN HERITAGE
I have located several references that indicate that the surname DINKEL if
of occupational origin, ONE of those names derived from the trade or
profession once pursued by the original bearer. In this instance, the name
DINKEL cna be traced to the Germanic word "DINKEL", meaning "spelt" Spelt
was a grain similar to barley and wheat, which was grown exTENsively in the
German speaking states during the middle ages. In those days it was common
practice to identify a person with the type of work he diDIED Thus a person
(farmer) that grew spelt was named DINKEL occurs in 1364.
Many of the Germanic people departed from German during the late 1700's and
early 1800's due to the disaster in that part of the world following the
SEVEN Year War (1756-1763). Family tradition suggests that our DINKEL
ancestors emigrated from Koblitz, Bavaria in 1764, during the exodus of
Germans to RUSSIA. There was a major economic crisis in all Europe after the
war, poverty was rampant and soldiers were roaming the countryside looking
for work and something to eat.
Catherine the Great of RUSSIA, of Germanic ancestry, had vast expenses of
land that she wanted settled, developed and protected from the heathen
nomadic tribes that lived in scattered sections of the RUSSIAn steppes. In
1762 she issued an invitation, referred to as a "Manifesto", to the European
peoples. This invitation, being rather vague, produced few results so she
issued a second invitation in 1763 containing 10 articles making specific
promises to anyONE that settled in RUSSIA. This invitation garnered many
people, including some 25,000 Germans from 1763 to 1767, willing to accept
her invitation. From 1764, when the first settlers arrived in the Saratov
region of the river Volga, until 1768 some 104 villages were established, 44
on the Bergseite and 60 on the Wiesenseite of the Volga. The villages on the
west side, the mountain side, of the Volga were on the BVergseite, those on
the east side, the meadow side, were on the Wiesenseite. The village of
Herzog, on the Weisenseite, along the river Karaman was established in 1766.
Times were extremely difficult when the settlers first arriveDIED They had
to erect their own shelters and establish their villages in the vast expanse
of the Volga steppes. Their initial shelters were mere earthen huts.
The original settler list for the Colony of Herzog, dated 14 JULY 1766,
comprised of 35 families does not contain the surname DINKEL. It does,
however, contain teh name of Johann and Anna Kuhn, names in positions 48 and
49 on Andreas A DINKEL's Pedigree Chart (included). The first reference
DINKEL (Nicolaus) was located in the original settler list for the Colony of
Mariental dated 1766. His name has not been found in any of the 1798 census
that have currently been translateDIED The census of Herzog, dated 2 JUNE
1798, does indicated a Jakob DINKEL, had resided in Herzog but had moved to
Leichtling in 1786. The 1798 census of Leichtling indicates that Jakob had
resided there but had died prior to this census. His wife, Helen Ortman, and
their children are included in the census of 7 OCTOBER 1798. This census
indicates that Joseph, a son of Jakob and Helena, was 3 years old at the
time. Additional research disclosed that Joseph was the father of Peter who
was the father of Andreas.
Eventually, the privileges bestowed on the settlers by the Manifesto of
1763, especially the exemption from military service, aroused the resentment
of the RUSSIAns. In JANUARY 1874 a military law was passed requiring the
settlers to serve in the armed services. This, the repeal of the special
privileges granted by Catherine the Great in the Manifesto, aroused extreme
indignation in the German settlers. In the spring of 1874, meetings were
held in Herzog on the Wiesenseite, and Balzar on the Bergseite, to select
scouts to the United States in search of new land to settle. The scouts
returned with favorable reports. The initial military draft of settlers in
1874 precipitated matters and the first departure of settlers for the United
States occurred in OCTOBER 1875. A larger group followed, departing in JUNE
1876. Our ancestors, Andreas DINKEL and Katharine KUHN, were among this
latter group. Departing Saratov, this group occupied 17 coaches, some
progressed to Hamberg and the remainder to Bremen. Andreas and Katharina
were in the group progressing to Bremen. The Bremen group took passage on
the North German Lloyd S.S. Mosel, under the command of ship master H. A. F.
Neymaker. The fare was 38 rubels (27.36) per passenger. Katharina is listed
as passenger 514 in steerage and Andreas is listed as passenger 542 in
steerage on the passenger list of the ship, which includes 705 passengers.
The S.S. Mosel arrived athe the Port of New York on 29 JULY 1876. Those
coming to Kansas immediatly made arrangements, at rubles (11.52) per
passenger, to proceed to Kansas arriving at Herzog/Victoria on 3 AUGUST
1876, the rubel was worth 72 cents.
After arriving in Herzog, Victoria, Andreas worked at various employments
including a tour with the Kansas Pacific RailroaDIED He completed
application to homestead the south 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of section 32-13-16 on
26 DECEMBER 1877. Andreas and Katharina MARRIED on 21 JANUARY 1879. Their
first child, Andreas A., was BORN on 28 JULY followed by NINE more children,
for a total of FIVE boys and FIVE girls. He purchased his first parcel of
land, the north 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of section 32-13-16, from Magdalena
Riedel, on 24 OCTOBER 1884, for $425.oo. He was granted a homestead paTENt
for the south 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of section 32-13-16 (applied for on 26
DECEMBER 1877) on 27 Jaunary 1887. The paTENt was given under the hand of
President Grover ClevelanDIED He purchased additional lands in ellis and
Trego Counties., He also purchsed Lot 5 in Block 2 in the Nicholaus DREILING
addition to the town of Herzog on 26 FEBRUARY 1901 for $300.00 from Martin
and Magdalena Riedel.

a quality carpenter as he was quiet, patient and articulate in whatever he
starteDIED The way he taught his sons how to saw wood reflected his approach
to life and people in general. He said that you let the saw ride without
effort and never force it. He related that if ONE forces something, it just
gets much harder to accomplish. He did not have taste for discipline his
children and would rarely become irritated or angry. When he had to
discipline he did it only half-hearteDIED It was obvious that he had his
Mother's compassion and patience.
The year prior to his death, he built a new home for the family and did all

Notes for Christina ENSLINGER:
Christina was a farmer, creamery and feed story operator, an avid gardener,
irONEd clothes for a living and her last employment was as a housekeeper for
St. Anthony's Hospital until she retireDIED
Her husband was an invalid due to a severe heart condition and so she
primarily had to be the provider and care giver. She was only 4' 10" tall
and was called "Christina." She had TEN children of which the first was
still-BORN after a very difficult birth. She almost single-handed raised
NINE children, made sure they all went to High school and they never went
hungry. She made sure they had proper clothing even if she had to sew most
of the items herself. They were never without proper shelter or medical
care. She routinely would butcher 50 chickens, with the assistance of the
children, in ONE day and would sell them to a local hospital. Her garden was
large with a wide assortment of vegetables and for many years grew THREE
acres of potatoes. She canned anything not consumed immediately including
beef and pork. A typical Saturday meant baking a dozen pies. Bread was baked
at least every day. She baked many wedding cakes. On Mondays she washed and
it was no uncommon for her to wash as many as twenty loads plus loads of
wash and iron up to forty shirts since she had SIX sons and a husbanDIED
Until 1952 she cooked on a kerosene stove, had no refrigerator, and used gas
iron to iron clothing. Her washing machine was a gas powered machine.

The Wasingers
The ancestry of Franz Wasinger and Anna Scheck is shown as far as can be
ascertained from church records in St. Fidelsis Monastery, Victoria, Kansas,
and from visits with some of the older people who knew Franz and Anna
Wasinger. The parents of Franz Wasinger and Anna Scheck are known and
documenteDIED The grandparents of Franz Wasinger are in doubt. In the mid
1930's Frank Windholtz visited with Franz Wasinger about his grandparents.
Franz Wasinger said that his grandfather was Christopher Wasinger. He did
not know the name of his grandmother. Helen Hall in her These Are Our
Religion has a Johannes Wasinger, spouse known, as the grandfather of Franz.
In "History from 1760 to 1938 of Joe Wasinger, G. Peter Wasinger, Anton
Wasinger, SR., Anton DIED Wasinger" translated by Anton DIED Wasinger, is an
account of a Joe Wasinger, MARRIED to a young woman named Mareda, who
migrated with the Germans to RUSSIA 1764. This Joe, about thirty years old,
was the father of Johannes, a Christopher, and nONE other children. This
Johannes is supposedly the great great grandfather of this writer. The
Christopher is the forebear of another group of Wasingers who came to the
United States at the time.
This writer does not know who his great great grandfather Wasinger was, but
likes to believe that Grandfather Franz Wasinger knew who his grandfather
was. Grandfather Franz Wasinger was about SIXty-SIX years old in 1935 to
1936 when Franz Windholz interviewed hiMARRIED According to Windholz,
Grandfather had a clear, sharp mind and a good memory. So this writer likes
to believe that his great great grandfather and the great great grandfather
of all the third generation descendants of Franz and Anna Wasinger was a
Christopher Wasinger.

This book is dedicated to all the families who sacrifficed to come to
America and survived and even thrived in the face of Great difficulties to
make a better living for furture generations.
This book is also dedicated to Mary G. Hecker whose goal was to research and
put together this book of her family to pass the "torch" of family history.
Due to health problems, she was unable to continue.
Mary Genevieve was BORN in the sod house at the farm outside of St. Peter,
Kansas and atTENded St. Peter Catholic school. At age 12 the family moved to
the farm outside of Quinter. She MARRIED E. J. Hecker in 1928 and they moved
to Salina in the early 1940's. Mary was active in her church and with the
Catholic women organizations. The medal she is wearing in the picture
depicts the highest honor bestowed on a non-religion individual for service
in the church. It is the "Pro Eccesia at Pontifice" Medal bestowed by Pope
John Paul II AUGUST 11, 1982, represented by Bishop Daniel Kucera in
recognition for her "notable service on behalf of the church and the Roman
Pontiff".
The background of the families is information from Mary (Spies) Hecker,
Hilda, (Spies) Wasinger, Barbara (Spiies) Loevenstein, Sophia (Spies) Brown,
Barbara (Graf) Spies and other relatives recorded by Louella (Hecker)
Clennan, daughter of Mary Hecker on a trip to Western Kansas and Colorado
APRIL 21-28, 1991. Mary had wanted to continue to search out genealogy
information and visit her oldest sister, Sophia. Mary had recuperated from a
minor stroke aand heart attack in 1990.
When it was learned that Mary (who lived in Salin) was going to Sopia's
house in BrighTEN, Colorad, Sophia asked her to bring the "box" that had
belonged to their Dad (Peter Spies Jr.) Mary and Lou picked up Hilda in
Wakeeney and continued to Quinter to visit Barb Spies (sister-in-law) and
picked up the "box" from Barb Loevenstein.

Emanuel, had lived when first MARRIEDIED
While in Colorado, they had to visit with Katherine (Katie) Laevenstein in
Denver (1st cousin). Katie MARRIED Mike Laevenstein, a brother to Jake
Loevenstein, who changed the spelling of their name from o to a. It is
unknown why Mike made that chnage.
This was the last time Mary saw Sophia and Katie die to health probelms
preventing any of them from traveling any distance. It was while in Colorado
that MAY mentiONEd that "I MAY have bit off" more than I can chew."
In 1997, I decided it was time to continue the work Mother could no longer
do, so the weekend of JUNE 6-8. 1997 my sister Irene (Hecker) Fiffe living
in Hutchinson, Kansas and my daughter, Stephanie (Clennan) Jacobson living
in Olatthe, Kansas, took a trip as far as Park, Kansas. MAY home in
Eldorado, Kansas. During this trip, old pictures were gaathered to make
copies and additional notes wre taken. We stayed at Elsie and Kenny
Loevenstein's. Elsie prepared a delicious dinnner.
ONE major purpose was to see the new graveestONE of the Spies babies who
died and were buried in St. Anthony's Cemetery in St. Peter. They were the
children of Peter and Eva Spies. They never had a gravestONE and the small
wooden crosses had long disappeareDIED Vernon Hecker (at Mother's request)
made the arrangements. This is what Mother's siblings agreed needed to be
dONE. The babies are buried beside their Grandparents, Peter Sr. and
Christina Spies.
Mother (Mary Hecker) had doene exTENsive research at court houses, sity
buildings, libraries, the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka, the
American Historical Society of Germans from RUSSIA in Lincoln, Nebraska, the
National Archives in Washington, DC, as well as letters and dphONE calls.
She found reporots were poorly writTEN, misspelling of names, and both
parents not listed when requireDIED Many times only baptisimal date was
available and not the date of birth.
I have tried my best to puut it alll together. Thank you to all who haave
helped fill in the gaps and make corrections. There is still incomplete and
probably inaccurate iinformation and for this I'm sorry. Time constraints
didn't allow deeper research and I thought it was more important to get this
"family history" to familly members before too many years passeDIED MAY God
bless and watch over our families.
Although this book is about the descendants of Peter Spies Sr. (BORN) in
1857) and AntONE Katzendown (BORN 1848) and in particular Peter Spies Jr.
(BORN 1881)
and Eva Maria Katzendorn (BORN 1886), it seems only right ti relate some
background history as to why many Germans left Germany for RUSSIA in 1766.
Germany
There was unrest in Europe under the leadership of Fredrick the Great. The
SEVEN years War had just ended (Countris were fighting the German kingddoms
of PRUSSIA, Hanover and Great Britain, (and had brought disaster to many
Germann people.
There was economic crisis in all of Europe; and also high taxes, lack of
freedom of religion, and poverty, causing, much dissatisfaction.
Catherine the GReat ascended to the thrown of the Czars as Empress of RUSSIA
and wanted her reign to be noticed by the worlDIED She wanted settlers in
RUSSIA, mainly farmers, to develop the semi-arid areas in vast uninhibited
steppe regions on the Volga River. She also felt that developing this land
would serve as a buffer against the Heathen nomadic tribes who periodically
attacked the RUSSIAns in the area. Being German by birth, her invitation
went to Germany. Her first Manifesto produced no results. Her second
Manifesto of JULY 22, 1763, promised more and was delivered by men of German
birth to induce as many as possible of their countryment to emigrate to
RUSSIA. They made RUSSIA sould like paradis, and offered inducements not in
the manifest. The manifest offered (stated briefly)
1. Settle wherever they pleased and could pursue their occupations
2.....Freedom of relion--churches and schools, priests and ministers.
3. Would receive mONEy to defray travel expense
4. In RUSSIA, would be lent mONEy, interst free with 10 years payback
5. Volga River Settlers would be exempt from taxes.
6. LLowere Volga Settlers could shoose their own government
7. Settlers with mONEy were not taxed if the mONEy was used for personal use
8. All male immigrants would be exempt from military duty indefinitely
9. Factories and Industries established would be free for TEN years.
10. Free to leave the country at any time but would have to pay a tax on
their efforts.
Peter Spies, age 29, along with his wife, Christina, age 30, and TWO
children Peter Jr. and Johannes, arrived in Baltimore Maryland FEBRUARY 21,
1988. They were on the boat FOURteen days. Christina knew how to reaDIED
Peter did dnot. According to the dates of birth, it appears that Christina
was pregnant on the ship, as Teckler was BORN in America in 1888. They went
to Victoria, Kansas by train to Christina's sister, Catherine, who was
marrried to John GOETZ.
Barbara Graf Spies' Grandparents sponsored Peter and Christina Spies to
Amerrica. Albert Graf in Hays, Kansas has papers to show the Graf's
sponsored theMARRIED
They settled in St. Peter, Kansas,, in Graham County in 1888 or 1889.
According to the Book The St. Peter Kansas People and their town, Peter
Spies owned the Southwest quarter section of lot 11. It was east of the
church. He also had a farm outside of St. Peter about FOUR miles east and
ONE mile south.
According to Mary (Spies) Hecker, her grandfather, Peter, had beautiful
horses that he trained to dance. She wass impressed at their beeauty. He
would decorate the wagon and horses for weddings. The bride would ride in
the horse drawn wagon to the church.
Peter Spies had the first Model T Ford in St. Peter. At harvest time, JULY
3, 1916 he drove to Moreland for groceries. His car ran off the road coming
back home. He had a broken neck. He was taken to his home where he dieDIED
He was 58 years olDIED
Christina Terre' Spies was a very quiet woman. Sophia, Mary and Hilda (her
grandchildren) remember. her as always sitting in a char and prayying the
Rosary. They thought she must have been homesick for RUSSIA. They stated
that she was a thin woman. She was extremely parrticular and neat so she
didn't want the Grandchildren in her house. She would go visit her
children's homes. There are no pictures of their hosue. After Peter Sr. died
she sold the land and the hosue on the farm, but kept the house in town.
Isadore, their son, was still living at home but when he was old enough, he
joined the army. She must have then sold the house in St. Peter because she
took turns living with her children. She was at Peter Jr's house in Quinter
when she dieDIED
Sophia (Spies) Broan tells this account of the incident: Momma had gONE to
the store and Gandma was sitting on the back porch on the chair she always
sat in to rest or pray.
She never talked much. i (Sophia) was in the kitchen. Grandma called to me
"Sophia, I have to lay down, I am very sick." "What's wrong grandma?" "I
canot get my breath, I can not get anyy breath, so open the door." I
(Sophia) put water on her and helped her and said, "Don't die." So I ran out
fast. It was far away and then I told Dad, "Dad, hurry home, Grandma is
very, very, sick." Then Dad drove back with the horses and when he came back
to the house she wass deaDIED
Peter and Christina's second child, Johannes Spies, died at age 44, from
suicide. His first wife died after FIVE years of marriage. He left the area
to get a joborn Their FOUR children were raised by their grandparents
Bollig. He would visit sometimes. His second wife, Ruth Burns, was from
Ellsworth, Kansas. He was estranged frim her and was in Hutchinson, Kansas
when he shot into a group at the hosue where she was staying in Hutchinson,
and then shot himself.
The Spies' adopted Isadore Barker when he was 4 years of age. It was not
unusual, as the children gre older, MARRIED, and left home, for families to
adopt children fromt he orphan train. They provided help for the necessary
farm work. Isador was the SEVENth living child of Peter and Christina Spies.
He left home about the age of 18 and joined the Army.

KILLED BY GAS
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Whitman, an aged couple, were killed by coal gas at their
home in this city Monday afternoon. They were found dead between 4 and 5
o'clock by their son-in-law, Sylvester Dietz, who lives two miles north of
the city, and who went to the house with some provisions. The old gentleman
was sitting in a chair near the stove and his wife was lying near. The
stovepipe was on the floor, and from all appearances it would seem that
Whitman had taken it down to clean it, and becoming fatigued, had sat down
in the chair, where he had been overcome. The couple were about 70 and 73
years of age, the husband being the older. They lived alone in a little
cottage in the north part of town. At an inquest it was decided that death
was caused by coal gas.
Note: The newspaper spelled their names wrong, its Wittmann, not Whitman.
Does anybody know if Rosalias last name was spelled Riedel or Reidel. All
sources vary but I have no confirmative resource such as a wedding record
etc. I have ordered her death certificate. In the meantime, I would
appreciate any other information. Contact mish@btigate.com
Who are the mystery women with Rosalia in the picture below? Does anybody
know?

the city, and who went to the house with some provisions. The old gentleman
was sitting in a chair near the stove and his wife was lying near. The
stovepipe was on the floor, and from all appearances it would seem that
Whitman had taken it down to clean it, and becoming fatigued, had sat down
in the chair, where he had been overcome. The couple were about 70 and 73
years of age, the husband being the older. They lived alone in a little
cottage in the north part of town. At an inquest it was decided that death
was caused by coal gas.
Note: The newspaper spelled their names wrong, its Wittmann, not Whitman.
Does anybody know if Rosalias last name was spelled Riedel or Reidel. All
sources vary but I have no confirmative resource such as a wedding record
etc. I have ordered her death certificate. In the meantime, I would
appreciate any other information. Contact mish@btigate.com
Who are the mystery women with Rosalia in the picture below? Does anybody
know?

MR. AND MRS. BERNARDT "BARNEY" WITTMAN
Bernardt Wittman and the former Elizabeth Becker were married in Hankinson,
January 21, 1896. They lived there until 1900 and then came to settle 14
miles northeast of Kenmare. In 1907 they moved to Minnesota and farmed there
for some time, returning to North Dakota and settling in Norma where they
operated a cafe for some time. They continued living on their original farm,
until 1928 when they had a sale. They moved to Saskatchewan, Canada, but
after living there for 5 years and not wishing to become citizens of Canada,
they packed their belongings in their Maxwell car; and with their two
youngest chldren (Mildred and Frank) they moved Anacortes, Wash. to reside
(1933).
He was employed as a longshoresman until he retired. They were both active
members in the St. Mary's parish organizations in Anacortes. Prior to that
time they belonged to the St. Agnes parish in Kenmare during the years they
farmed in this area, until 1928. Mrs. Wittman was a charter member of St.
Agnes Altar Society.
Their children are: Mrs. (Rosella) McGillvary, Eureka, Calif.; Mrs. (Olivia)
T.A. Pumarlo, Anacortes, Wash.; Jack; Frank; Mrs. (Henrietta) Pierce,
Anacortes, Wash.; Mildred, Mt. Vernon, Wash.; Lewis B., Norma, married Lena
Christianson. He died in 1972 at age 86 years.
Qyoting Mrs. Wittman: "Two things I remember about Kenmare were hitching a
team of horses to the buggy every Sunday to drive to church in Kenmare at
St. Agnes.....The second was the time Rosella and her cousin Lola (Aurens)
Donahue of Flaxton decided to walk from Bowbells to the Wittman farm...12
miles distance...But did it only once!"
The Wittmans observed their Diamond Jubilee on January 22, 1956 at the home
of their son-in-law and daughter, the T.A. Pumarlos.

ELIZABETH AND BERNARD WITTMAN
Bernard (Barney) Wittman and Elizabeth Becker were married at Hankinson,
North Dakota, in 1896. He was a grain buyer while they were there. In 1900
he and some friends of Mons Brekhus decided to come to this part of the
state.
They came by wagon, bringing a cow and other household items. Mrs. Wittman
and two or three youngsters came by train later. In 1907 they went to
Watkins, Minnesota, to care for their elderly parents. They rented their
farm to the Mankie boys and some time later they returned and managed a
hotel and cafe in Norma for a few years.
In 1912, they moved back to their farm and lived there until Louie took over
their farm in 1928. They stayed there five years; from there they went to
Anacortes, Washington, where they resided until their deaths.
Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wittman, of whom six survive. Louie
passed away in 1973, and Sylvia when she was three years of age. Jack,
Olivia, Henrietta and Frank live at Anacortes, Washington. Mildred lives at
Bellingham, Washington, and Rosella at Eureka, California.

To my knowledge, Hilary and Loretta never married and did not have any
children. Sylvester Raymond Dietz died at 7 years of age. So, I guess I
won't be looking for any of Carolina's direct descendants. They are all
deceased!!!!

SYLVESTER DIETZ' CONDITION SERIOUS
---Physicians Give Little Hope for Recovery of Victim of Automobile
Mishap---
Physicians attending Sylvester Dietz, Wahpeton resident who suffered a
broken back in an automobile accident Wednesday of last week on the Wyndmere
road near the Crawford farm, today gave little hope for his recovery. A
consultation was held Tuesday. Mr. Dietz is in little pain. He is one of the
city's old and well respected residents. Others injured in the automobile
accident caused by a tire blowout which ditched their car as they were
returning from the Eberley farm near Barney were Frank Eberley and Frank
Huber. Mr. Eberley, who has a fractured shoulder, is getting along nicely.
Mr. Huber still has occasional lapses of haziness, but is resting easily and
is out of danger.

Willam's adult life was a tragic one. Read on...
The whereabouts of William's widow and his descendants remains a mystery.
The Wittmann family will rejoice the day that this link is made.
Several prayers & thoughts have been expressed through the years.
William's wife appears to have several different names: Josephine, Margaret,
& Barbara. Her name differs on her second marriage certificate, her first
husband's obituary as printed in the paper, and on her daughter's death
certificate. Based on 1910 Census information, the best conclusion is that
her name is Barbara Tix. Throughout the years, our family has only known her
by the nickname of Libbie/Libby.
A marriage certificate was received from Richland County, North Dakota, that
states that a Mrs. Josephine Wittmann, age 26, married John Peter Ehr, age
29, on October 2, 1913. John was from Hankinson, North Dakota. The
application for marriage license asks if either of the parties were ever
married. The following comment is noted: "Yes - Mrs. Josephine Wittmann
formerly married - husband dead." Witnesses to this marriage where Nicholas
Goche & Elizabeth Tix.
William's newspaper obituary states that he married Margaret Tix.
It is believed that the newspaper was most likely in error in regards to her
name.
William and his wife, Barbara had a daughter named Wilhelmina who died as a
young baby of gastrointestinal problems. Wilhelmina's middle name was
Josephine. Wilhelmina's death certificate has the mother listed as Barbara
Tix. The birthplace of Barbara is listed as Bancroft, Iowa. The death
certificate was signed by Mrs. William B. Wittman.
Again, the question remains....Does anybody know what happened to William's
widow Barbara Tix and their children, Irene and Dorothy??????

Death of Wm Wittman - Well Known Resident Succumbs to Tuberculosis
Wm B Wittman, a well known resident of our city, passed away Wednesday
morning at 6 o'clock after an illness of several months. Tuberculosis adds
another victim to the death toll, though everything possible was done to
prevent the inroads of the disease. Deceased was a native of Richland

years ago, Jun 12, 1878. He has resided in the county all his life and is

Foresters and of the Woodmen of the World, carrying life insurance of $1,000
in the Foresters and $2,000 into eh W.O.W. About two years ago, it was first
noticed that his health was failing but not for several months was it known
that tuberculosis was the cause. The latter part of March of this year he
was taken to a hospital in St Paul for treatment and later was an inpatient
of the Breckenridge hospital for about a week, but though everything was
done to check the inroads of the disease he continued to fall rapidly. He
was brought home three weeks ago. The evening before his death he was able
to walk around the yard, but during the night was taken with a sinking spell
from which he never rallied. The deceased was a man of quiet disposition,
industrious, and of excellent character and his untimely end is mourned by a
large circle of acquaintances. The stricken widow and little ones have the
heartfelt sympathy of all in their loss. The funeral will be held tomorrow,
services being conducted at St. Phillip's church at 10:30 am. Interment will

Peter Brungardt, the first known of our ancestors came to Russia in 1766 and
settled in Rohleder. Andreas his son moved to Herzog in 1791.
Andreas Brungardt (1769) married Anna Maria Dopler, hence the name "Die
Doplers" in Kansas today.
Books are available at Holstein's in Hays, Kansas.
This is a record mostly of the descendants of Peter Younger and Margaret
Mermis. The Youngers came to this country in 1876 from Herzog, Russia to
better themselves religiously, politically, and economically. Many other
Germans from the Volga River area near Saratov, Russia, did the same.
This work is not complete. It is an abridged form because the authors put
together just what they could find in the church censuses of the several
parishes that were available to them, and what they learned from the
interviews with Rose and Clara Younger of Munjor, Kansas, and from family
charts.
Most of the families have five and six generations. Only one family that of
Alois Younger and Mathilda Hertel has all the descendants--seven
generations.
Concerning the spellin of the name Younger, there are four variations:
Junker, Yunker, Younker, and Younger. The various church records have one or
the other spelling, yet all these people are related. In a few instances
even the sibblings use different spellings.

Fr. Raphael Engel, O.F.M. Cap. in his "The Joseph Engel Family"
writes:
Turning to the village of Herzog, Russia we meet a few families by the name
of Younger or Junker, one of whom was Peter and his wife Margaret nee
Mermis. His father was know to mother as mentioned above, our great great
grandfather. Unfortunately his name is not known. The children of Peter
Younger were: Martin, our grandfather, born Aug. 10, 1834, Andrew, John
Peter, Margaret, Francis and Agnes. THe last mentioned did come to this
country with the family. Peter Younger had several brothers, one of whom was
Mathias who remained in Russia. Only one of his descendants later came to
America. Another brother, Michael, migrated tto Brazil with his family. He
died there are his descendants came to Ellis County settling for the most
part in Hays, Kansas.

A brief hisotry taken from the Brungardt Genealogy, Volume I, by Helen
Hall, tells us that a widow Brungardt, her two sons and a daughter migratted
from Germany to Russia in 1767-68. They were of the Luthern Faith. The
widow and one son settled in Herzog, Russia and accepted thte Catholic
Faith.
Here the assumption is made that Adam Brungardt, gradson to the widow
Brungardt was born in 1780. He married Katharina Dreiling. Thanks to
Helen L. Hall for her research many years ago, we can accept Adam and
Katharina Brungardt as our ancestral grandparents.
Adam married Katharina Dreiling. He was born in 1780 in Russia and married
in Russia. Katharina Dreiling was born in Russia also. They both died in
Russia.

Magdalena Brungardt married Peter Sander
John George Brungardt married Margaret Rome
Bathasar Brungardt married Margaret Schmamme
Katharina Brungardt married John Kuhn I

Only two of the above seven children of Adam and Katharina Brungardt came to
America. They werer Franz, married to Anna Maria Riedel, and Magdalena
married to Peter Sander. However, all of the descendants of the above
seven children came to America unless stated otherwise.
Accordingg to the Brungardt Henealogy Volume I the "Brungardts" left
Herzog, Russia enroute to America on June 22, 1876, arrived in New York
aboard the |North German Lloyd Line "Morsel". After going through customs
at port of entry they were allowed to board a train enroute to western
Kansas. They arrive in Ellis County on August 3, 1876.

He had rhemumatic fever at the age of 14. Alex worked as a farmer, carpenter, and a sheet metal man. He was a quality carpenter as he was quiet, patient and artculate in whatever he started. The way he taught his sons how to saw wood reflected his approach to life and people in general. He said that you let the saw ride without effort and never force it. He related that if one forces something, it just gets much harder to accomplish. He did not have taste for discipling his children and would rarely become irritated or angry. When he had to discipline he did it only half-hearted. It was obvious that he had his Mother's compassion and patience.The year prior to his death, he built a new home for the family and did all the finished carpentry work himself. He had to rest for extended periods of time but then would procede to work again. After Christmas he developed psnumonia and died January 3, 1953 of a combination of pneumonia, congestive heart failure and lung cancer.More about Alexander Leiker:Burial: January 10, 1953, Liebenthal, KansasCause of death: Congestive Heart Failure damaged by Rheumatic Fever at age 14.Medical Information: Developed Lung Cancer shortly before his death. He was a smoker of cigarettes.Notes for Christina Enslinger:Christina was a farmer, creamery and feed stor operator, an avid gardener, ironed clothes for a living and her last employment was as a housekeepr for St. Anthony's Hospital until she retired.Her husband was an invalid due to a severe heart condition and so she primarily had to be the provider and care giver. She was only 4' 10" tall and was called "Christinya." She had ten children of which the first was still-born after a very difficult birth. She almost single-handed raised nine children, made sure they all went to High school and they never went hungry. She made sure they had proper clothing even if she had to sew most of the items herself. They were never without proper shelter or medical care. She routinely would betcher 50 chickens, with the assistance of the children, in one day and would sell them to a local hospital. Her garden was large with a wide assortment of vegetables and for many yers grew three acres of potatoes. She canned anything not consumed immediately including beef and pork. A typical Saturday meant baking a dozen pies. Bread was baked at least every day. She baked many wedding cakes. On Mondays she washed and it was no uncommon for her to wash as many as twenty loads plus loads of wash and iron up to forty shirts since she had six sons and a husband. Until 1952 she cooked on a kerosene stove, had no refrigerator, and used a gas iron to iron clothing. Her washing machine was a gas powered machine.More about Christina Enslinger:Burial: November 1988, Buried in St. Joseph Cem. in Liebenthal, Kansas.Cause of death: CHFMedical Information: Developed dementia a few years prior to death, probably caused by TIAs causing O.B.S.Jane Francis Befort was born May 03, 1924 in Hyacinth, Ellis County, Kansas.

He had rhemumatic fever at the age of 14. Alex worked as a farmer, carpenter, and a sheet metal man. He was a quality carpenter as he was quiet, patient and artculate in whatever he started. The way he taught his sons how to saw wood reflected his approach to life and people in general. He said that you let the saw ride without effort and never force it. He related that if one forces something, it just gets much harder to accomplish. He did not have taste for discipling his children and would rarely become irritated or angry. When he had to discipline he did it only half-hearted. It was obvious that he had his Mother's compassion and patience.The year prior to his death, he built a new home for the family and did all the finished carpentry work himself. He had to rest for extended periods of time but then would procede to work again. After Christmas he developed psnumonia and died January 3, 1953 of a combination of pneumonia, congestive heart failure and lung cancer.More about Alexander Leiker:Burial: January 10, 1953, Liebenthal, KansasCause of death: Congestive Heart Failure damaged by Rheumatic Fever at age 14.Medical Information: Developed Lung Cancer shortly before his death. He was a smoker of cigarettes.Notes for Christina Enslinger:Christina was a farmer, creamery and feed stor operator, an avid gardener, ironed clothes for a living and her last employment was as a housekeepr for St. Anthony's Hospital until she retired.Her husband was an invalid due to a severe heart condition and so she primarily had to be the provider and care giver. She was only 4' 10" tall and was called "Christinya." She had ten children of which the first was still-born after a very difficult birth. She almost single-handed raised nine children, made sure they all went to High school and they never went hungry. She made sure they had proper clothing even if she had to sew most of the items herself. They were never without proper shelter or medical care. She routinely would betcher 50 chickens, with the assistance of the children, in one day and would sell them to a local hospital. Her garden was large with a wide assortment of vegetables and for many yers grew three acres of potatoes. She canned anything not consumed immediately including beef and pork. A typical Saturday meant baking a dozen pies. Bread was baked at least every day. She baked many wedding cakes. On Mondays she washed and it was no uncommon for her to wash as many as twenty loads plus loads of wash and iron up to forty shirts since she had six sons and a husband. Until 1952 she cooked on a kerosene stove, had no refrigerator, and used a gas iron to iron clothing.
