1889
BARTEL
On the Ship S.S. Aller, arriving New
York City, 16 Mar 1889, the BARTEL
family returns from what appears to be a vacation back to
DRACHHAUSEN, 21 year after their 1868
immigration. An example of chain
migration of the Iowa Wends, on this ship are five who are
US citizens:
1)
Martin
BARTEL, 50, born 22 Feb 1839 in
DRACHHAUSEN, farmer, USA
2)
Elisabeth
BARTEL, 45, born 27 Jul 1845 in
DRACHHASEN, as Liese
JURK, wife
3)
Anna
BARTEL, 17, born in FORT MADISON,
IOWA, abt 1871, Hannah Emma
4)
Lina
BARTEL, 12, born in FORT MADISON,
IOWA
Amalia Caroline, b 26 Jul 1874
5)
Emma
BARTEL, 11, born in FORT MADISON,
IOWA, Emma Marie, b 13 Sep 1877.
They return with the 5 member, Carl
JURTH family, who may be related to the other Carl JURTH family,
and 5 young men between the ages of 24
and 32.
It is not known if they had a similar
arrangement to those who returned with Martin
RIESE to the
STATE CENTER area, to work for Martin
BARTEL. These young men:
1)
William
KRAUTZ, 27, workman, later marries
Wend Marie Ann MUSCHICK
2)
Matthes
KULLOWATZ, 25, workman, later marries
2nd generation Wend, Hannah
Emma BARTEL
3)
Martin
SCHERGUN, 25, workman, b. 30 Mar
1859, illegitimate son of Caroline
SCHERGEN, believed to be working for Chris
SCHMELLICK,
Sherman
township, Story County Iowa, in 1900 Fed. Census and 1905 Iowa census,
4)
Martin
POST, 32, workman, living in Lee
County, 1900 census
5)
Christian
SCHULTZE, 24, workman
Apparently they form binding
friendships. Matthes KULLOWATZ
marries Hanna Emma BARTEL, 5 years
later, on 26 Dec 1894. This may have been a case of marrying the boss’s
daughter. The others make various appearances in the records of
St. John’s
Evangelisches
Church, in
FORT MADISON, IOWA,
including as godparents to the children born of the
KULLOWATZ/BARTEL union.
