| Johannes "John" Kieler (1800-1882) and his wife Katharina née Hupe (1805-1888) are my great-great-great-grandparents. They came to America from Germany with their younger children in 1855 (their older children made the voyage on their own), and settled in Jamestown Township in Grant County, Wisconsin, where the family farmed.

Johannes and Catharina (Hupe) Kieler
[John and Katharina (Hupe) Kieler]
Johannes Kieler was born on September 29, 1800. He was probably of Struth, a village that today is located in the district of Unstrut-Hainich in the state of Thüringen [Thuringia] in Germany. Johannes Kieler married Anna Maria Catharina Hupe in Germany. Anna Maria Catharina Hupe, who was known by her third given name of Catharina*, was born on February 12, 1805, daughter of Heinrich and Maria Christina (Jagemann) Hupe, in Kefferhausen, a German village that today is in Eichsfeld, Thuringia.** She was baptized on February 12, 1805, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Kefferhausen. Her godparent was Maria Catharina (Engelhart) Günther, spouse of Antonius Günther.
* = Catharina's name has been variously spelled in records and writings as Catharina, Catharine, Catherine, and Katharina. A transcription of her birth record has her name spelled as Catharina; her grave marker has her name spelled as Katharina (an image appears below); the image of her name at right is from her daughter Barbara's marriage record from Struth.
** = During the nineteenth century, both Struth and Kefferhausen were within the Kingdom of Saxony, in an area which itself would become part of Prussia. The villages fell within the boundaries of East Germany in the post-World War II era.
In Germany, Johannes and Catharina obtained their education, and there they were married. Their children, all born in Germany, were Gertrude, Dorathea, Barbara, Lawrence, Frank, George, and Louisa. Mr. Kieler was a stone mason and contractor in his own country. The Kielers likely lived at Struth, where it is known their daughter Barbara was married, and where their son George was said to have been born.
In August 1855 the Kielers came to the United States, making the voyage across the ocean in a sailing vessel and landing at Quebec. They came to Wisconsin by way of the Great Lakes, and settled in Jamestown Township, Grant County, where they bought a tract of land and made a home near what is now known as Kieler, which took the family name when their son George opened the first post office in the village. This was the home of this honest and worthy couple as long as they lived. Both were devout members of the Catholic Church, and Johannes, whose name was anglicized to John, was instrumental in the establishment of the first Catholic Church built in Kieler in 1856. (A new rock edifice later took its place, and the old building was then used for a school house.)
The 1860 U.S. census has the Kieler household in Jamestown Township consisting of John, age 60, with an occupation of farmer; his wife Catharine, age 55; son Lawrence, age 22, farmer; son Francis, age 20, farmer; son George, age 15; and daughter Louisa, age 13. The census includes a value of $300 for their real estate and $430 for their personal estate. Also included in this household were his daughter Gertrude, her husband John Richter (their surname is incorrectly given as Richards), and their first three children, Joseph, John, and Anna. The 1870 U.S. census has Frank Kieler, age 30, farmer, as the named head of the Kieler household, which also consisted of his parents, John, age 70, farmer, and Catharine, age 66, keeping house, and George Kieler, age 23, works on farm. The 1880 U.S. census again has John Kieler, age 80, his occupation listed as stone mason this time, and his wife Catharine, age 76, keeping house, as part the Frank Kieler household, which also now consisted of Frank's wife Margaret and their children Lawrence, Catharine, and Matilda.
Deaths of Johannes and Katharina Kieler
Johannes "John" Kieler died on May 3, 1882, at the age of 81, and Katharina (Hupe) Kieler followed him to the grave six years later, at the age of 83, on May 30, 1888. They were buried in the Immaculate Conception church cemetery at Kieler, where iron crosses mark their final resting places.

Children of John and Catharine (Hupe) Kieler
- Gertrude Kieler was born circa 1830 in Germany, daughter of Johannes and Katharina Kieler. She married John Richter, born March 5, 1830, in Germany, where they married, and they came to this country circa 1852, some years previous to the arrival of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Richter settled in Jamestown Township, Grant County, Wisconsin, near the village that would be named Kieler. Gertrude (Kieler) Richter is said to have there, leaving five children, Joseph, John, Annie, Mary, and Dorathea. Her death, it appears, occurred sometime between 1862 and 1864.
On July 24, 1864, John Richter married Elizabeth Neid, who was born in Germany on March 5, 1838, and they farmed in Potosi Township, Grant County, Wisconsin.

Barbara Kieler married Johann Franz ("Frank") Uthe on June 3, 1855, in the village of Struth, which is located in the present-day state of Thuringia [Thüringen], in Germany. Frank appears to have been married previously to M. Magdalen née Doering, and indeed, Anna, the eldest of Frank Uthe's children, was born in 1852 in Germany, three years prior to Frank's marriage to Barbara Kieler. Frank Uthe was born on October 25, 1818, in Germany, son of Jacob and Margaretha (Boehm [Böhm]) Uthe.
Frank and Barbara (Kieler) Uthe and daughter Anna came to the United States circa 1857. They made their home in Paris Township at Dickeyville in Grant County, Wisconsin, where the family farmed. For a time Mr. Uthe went to California in search of gold. There were nine children in all: Anna, Henry, Frank, John, Mathilda, Joseph, Charles, Elizabeth "Lizzie" and Katherine "Kate."
Frank Uthe died on December 14, 1885, at Dickeyville, Wisconsin, and he was buried in the Holy Ghost Church cemetery there. Circa 1893 his widow Barbara moved to Kieler, Wisconsin, where she lived in the household of her son John Uthe. Barbara (Kieler) Uthe died on May 18, 1917, at Kieler, and she was buried in the Immaculate Conception church cemetery there.
- Lawrence Kieler was born on October 29, 1837, in Germany, son of Johannes and Katharina Kieler, and he received his schooling in the old country. Presumably Lawrence came to America in 1855 with his parents. Lawrence Kieler married Miss Elizabeth Collogan, sometime between 1860 and 1864. She was born on April 12, 1844, in Illinois, daughter of Patrick and Barbara (Magby) Collogan. For some years Lawrence and Elizabeth Kieler lived on a farm in the township of Jamestown, in Grant County, Wisconsin. Born to them were John, Rosa, Louisa, Thomas, Joseph, Frank, Dora, Barbara, George, and Benjamin.
In 1889, the Kieler family moved to Greene County, Iowa, at Grand Junction, where they farmed in Dawson Township. Lawrence Kieler died on February 5, 1920. Elizabeth Kieler died on June 26, 1922. They were buried in Mount Calvary Cemetery in Grand Junction, Iowa.

He married Miss Margareth Koethe, of Jamestown Township, Grant County, Wisconsin, where they continued to live and where they farmed. She was born on August 26, 1852, to Lorenz and Clara Koethe. Born to them were Lawrence Kieler, Katharina [Catherine] Kieler, Matilda Kieler, Mary "Louisa" Kieler, Edward Kieler, Barbara Kieler, Anna "Annie" Maria Kieler, Charles Henry Kieler, and Arthur Kieler.

On July 2, 1871, George Kieler married Dorothea Julianna Montag at Immaculate Conception Church in Kieler, Wisconsin. Dorothy was born on April 16, 1849, in Germany, daughter of Charles and Maria Anna (Kellner) Montag. Born to George and Dorothea Kieler were Catherine, William, Henry, Lawrence, Charles, Maria, Louisa, Arthur, Margareth, Agatha, and Mathilda.
George and Dorothea Kieler first settled in the township of Paris in Grant County, where George worked at his trade of shoemaker in the town of Dickeyville, Wisconsin, and then went to Sac County, Iowa, where the family farmed for two years before returning to Jamestown Township in Grant County, where George followed his shoemaker trade once again. In 1882 he put up the first store building in what is now Kieler, and handled general merchandise in connection with his shoe trade for many years, becoming very prosperous. In 1883 he established the first post office of Kieler, Wisconsin, giving it his family name. For many years he was the town treasurer and school clerk. Mr. Kieler sold the store in 1899 and purchased the Jamestown Hotel at Louisburg, Wisconsin; he sold the hotel in October, 1900.In 1890 Mr. Kieler purchased farmland in Section 3 and farmed for a number of years before retiring to the village in the fall of 1920.
Dorothy (Montag) Kieler died in 1927 and was buried in the Immaculate Conception Church cemetery in Kieler, Wisconsin. George Kieler died on June 29, 1931, in Kieler, Wisconsin, with burial in the Immaculate Conception church cemetery.
- Louisa Kieler was born on January 25, 1847, in Germany, the youngest child of Johannes and Katharina Kieler; with them she came to this country in 1855, and they settled in Jamestown Township of Grant County, Wisconsin, and it was there she received her education. On April 29, 1869, at the church in Kieler, Wisconsin, Louisa Kieler married Henry Schumacher. Henry Schumacher was born on December 16, 1844, in Wiesental, Karlsruhe, Baden, Germany, son of Martin and Theresa (Schumacher) Schumacher. He came to the United States in 1853 with his parents, the family settled in Cattaragus County in New York. Henry served in Company F, 116th Regiment, New York Infantry, during the Civil War. After receiving his discharge, Mr. Schumacher returned to New York, and in the fall of 1865 hired as an assistant on a propeller steam-boat plying on Lake Erie, Huron, and Michigan. In this occupation he passed two seasons, and then removed to the lumber regions of Michigan, where he spent one year, removing in the spring of 1868 to Grant County, Wisconsin, working on a farm there until the fall of that year, and then again going to the lumber country at Green Bay.
In 1869 Henry Schumacher returned to Grant County, where he married Miss Louisa Kieler. Born to Henry and Louisa (Kieler) Schumacher were Margaretha "Maggie" M. Schumacher, Henry M. Schumacher, Katherine "Katie" T. Schumacher, Anna "Annie" L. Schumacher, Angeline "Angie" E. Schumacher, George J. Schumacher, and infant Schumacher. After his marriage Henry Schumacher worked at farming until the spring of 1870, when the family moved to Dunleith, now East Dubuque, where he was engaged in the lumber business for Messrs. Ashley & Cook, and later for the Moore Lumber Company, abusiness in which he eventually became sole owner. In February 1887, he sold his interest in that concern to enter the livery business, with his brother George; he purchased his brother's interest in the livery on April 1, 1889. Henry subsequently conducted a grocery store in East Dubuque, which was known for many years as Schumacher and Son.
Henry Schumacher died August 12, 1915, at home in East Dubuque, Illinois. Louisa (Kieler) Schumacher died on January 29, 1938, in East Dubuque, at the home of her daughter Anna. They were buried in East Dubuque Cemetery.

The Hupe Family
The information presented here for the Hupe family comes the church records of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Kefferhausen. The records I reviewed were from a transcription of the church records that were saved into a word document, so I was not examining the original documents or a facsimile thereof: thus the information here relies not only on my examination of the records but on the work of the person or persons who transcribed the original records and digitially saved the information.

The Hupe Lineage
|
Great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents of Tom Larson:
Bartholomaeus and Anna Margaretha (Saul [Wolf]) Hupe
Bartholomaeus Hupe was born on June 13, 1690, in Kefferhausen, son of Hans and Anna (Heineman) Hupe*. He was baptized on June 13, 1690, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Kefferhausen. His godparent was Bartholomaeus Zietz.
* = The family surname in the church record for births is transcribed as Hub. The church records for deaths include Hans Hupe, age 60 years, died on March 12, 1699, buried in March 1699 in Kefferhausen, and Anna Hupe,* age 78 years, died on March 22, 1721, and was buried in March 1721 in Kefferhausen. These are the only deaths for a Hans and Anna Hupe in the early Kefferhausen church records, and so it seems likely that these records were for the parents of Bartholomaeus Hupe. The family surname in both records is transcribed as Huppe.
Bartholomaues Hupe was the youngest child of the family.* He had an older brother, Nicolaus, born June 12, 1688, and baptized June 13, 1688, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Kefferhausen; his godparent was Nicolaus Wederhold. The available church records begin in 1688 (with Nicolaus's baptism actually being the first entry), and it is likely there were other siblings born before 1688.
* = There were no baptisms recorded for children of Hans and Anna (Heineman) Hupe after Bartholomaeus.
Bartholomaues Hupe married Anna Margaretha Saul [Wolf].* Anna Margaretha Saul was born circa 1688 in Bickenriede.**
* = Her surname comes from marriage records for her children: The 1737 record for her daughter Anna Maria gives her surname as Wolf; the 1751 record for son Joannes gives the surname as Saul; and the 1756 record for daughter Maria Elisabeth gives both surnames Saul (Wolf). An Anna Dorothea Wolff of Bickenriede was godparent to Anna Margaretha Hupe's daughter Anna Margaretha, so there seems to be a connection to the Wolf surname that way also. It should also be noted that the record of her death has her birth surname as Eckardt, but that seems questionable. There was another Anna Margaretha Eckardt who had married a Martin Hupe, and the church recorder may simply have mixed up the two persons named Anna Margaretha Hupe in Kefferhausen.
** = Anna Margaretha was 47 years old at the time of her death in Kefferhausen in 1735, which places her birth about 1688. That she was from the nearby village of Bickenriede comes from the 1756 marriage record of her daughter Maria Elisabeth. Bickenriede, as previously noted, was also the place that likely relation Anna Dorothea Wolff was from.
Anna Margaretha Hupe, age 47 years, died on October 20, 1735, and she was buried on October 21, 1735, in Kefferhausen. Bartholomaeus Hupe, age 66 years, died June 19, 1756, and he was buried on June 20, 1756, in Kefferhausen.

Elisabeth (Bierschenck) Hupe, the widow of Gregor Hupe, age 94 years,* died September 2, 1837, and she was buried on September 6, 1837, in Kefferhausen. The cause of death was Altersschwäche.

- Joannes Christian Hupe was born on May 23, 1779, in Kefferhausen, son of Gregor and Elisabeth (Bierschenck) Hupe. He was baptized on May 23, 1779, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Kefferhausen. His godparent was Joannes Christian Kruse, of Heuthen.

Dorothea (Schuchart) Hupe died in March 18, 1843, and she was buried on March 21, 1843, in Kefferhausen. - Joannes Joseph Hupe was born on November 23, 1783, in Kefferhausen, son of Gregor and Elisabeth (Bierschenck) Hupe.

The church record includes the following: Huppe, Joseph, Miles Regis Westphaliae, rk, Adol., 25J, *1783R, +26.08.1808 Kefferhausen, ±27.08.1808 Kefferhausen. "Miles Regis Westphaliae Domini Nostri elementissimi intertio Regimento et secunda Batalionis et quarta Compagnie sacris munitus Die vigesimâ quinta Augusti Hora septimâ vespertinâ obiit et Die vigesimâ septimâ Augusti sepultus est ad S: Joannem bapt."

Domino Commissario Huth in 4to consanguinitatis gradu lineae aequalis gratiose St. dispensati", which evidently means that the bride and groom were allowed marriage despite a blood relationship, probably through the Metz family: Metz was the maiden name of both Marcus's mother and Ursula's maternal grandmother.

* = A child by the name of Anna Maria Hupe does not appear in the transcribed church records of Kefferhausen, and unless the child was baptized elsewhere or the church records are incomplete, it appears that Anna Margaretha Hupe, born in December 1714, and Anna Maria Hupe, married September 16, 1737, would be the same person, but that is only conjecture. - Maria Elisabeth Hupe was born in December 1718 in Kefferhausen, daughter of Bartholomaues and Anna Margaretha (Saul [Wolf]) Hupe.

Great-great-great-great-great-grandparents of Tom Larson:
Maria Elisabeth Damm was born circa 1736 and is listed in records from St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Kefferhausen as being from Renshausen. Elisabeth Damm married Franciscus Jagemann, a Ludimagister, a teacher, and they subsequently lived at Kefferhausen. Their children were evidently born elsewhere, as they are not listed as being baptized at Kefferhausen. Perhaps his profession took them to Kefferhausen.
