The Runde family comes to America. August Runde's father Clemence Runde (born September 12, 1812) was married to Caroline Miller (born 1815) in Hannover, Prussia, and they had one son, Joseph, born in 1845. This young family emigrated from Germany in 1846, but shortly after they began their journey across the Atlantic Ocean, Caroline Runde died, and she was buried at sea. In the winter of 1846, Clem and his son, Joseph, along with Clem's siblings--Bernard, Joseph, and Theresa--arrived in America along with a group of other German immigrants. They sailed by way of the Gulf of Mexico and continued up the Mississippi River. When the immigrant party reached St. Louis, the Mississippi was frozen over, and no further progress could be made. Their forced stay in St. Louis soon depleted the little money they had. The winter was unusually severe, and they suffered many hardships. The arrival of spring saw the immigrants again proceeding up the Mississippi, with Galena, Illinois, as their destination. Relatives of Clem's wife Caroline had come to America and had settled near the Sinsinawa Mound, in Wisconsin, which lies north of Galena. They had encouraged the Rundes to come to this section of Wisconsin to this land of opportunity. The area around the Mound was frequently referred to as the "Prairie" and St. Joseph's Church at Sinsinawa was known as the "Prairie Church." With their journey ended, the Rundes homesteaded near Sinsinawa, in Hazel Green Township of Grant County, Wisconsin. By 1850, Clem Runde had married Christina Heitkamp*, who was born September 12, 1821, in Hannover, Prussia, daughter of Gerhard Anna Maria [Dalsing] Heitkamp, and they had ten children--Bernard, Clement, Theresa, Gerhard (George), Mary, Henry J., John H., Frank, August, and Catherine--who were all born in Wisconsin. * = Christina's name is given as Catharine in the 1850, 1860, and 1870 U.S. censuses, and as Kate in the 1880 U.S. census. In 1850, the Runde household consisted of Clemens, age 38; wife, [Christina], 26; son Joseph, 3; and Clem's brothers, Benjamin, 35; and Joseph, 26. In 1860, the household consisted of Clemence Runde, age 47, farmer, with real estate valued at $2500 and a personal estate at $490; his wife [Christina] H., 35; children, Joseph, 14; Barney [Bernard], 9; Clemence Jr., 7; Terece [Theresa], 5; Andrew [George], 4; and Henry, 1; and Gerhard Heitcamp, laborer, born in Hanover. In 1870, the Runde household consisted of Clemence Runde, age 57, farmer, with real estate valued at $12,000 and a personal estate at $2000; wife, [Christina], 46, keeps house; and children, Bernard, 19, works on farm; Clemence, 17, works on farm; George, 13, works on farm; Henry, 11; Mary, 9; Frank, 6; August, 4; and Catharine, 1. In 1880, the household consisted of Clemens Runde, age 69, farmer; wife, [Christina], 55; children, Clemens, 26, works on farm; George, 23, works on farm; Henry, 21, works on farm; Frank, 16; and August, 14; and Rosa Egam, age 15. Clem Runde died on December 22, 1894, and Christina Runde died on February 4, 1897. They were buried in St. Joseph's Church Cemetery at Sinsinawa, Wisconsin.

|
* = an 1878 Jo Daviess County history volume has her maiden name as Muller, which may be a variation of Müller (Mueller). Miller appears as the family surname in the 1850 and 1860 U.S. censuses, and Miller is the spelling as it appears on Mary's marriage record. Her brother Bernard's surname appears as Muller in the 1880 U.S. census.
Born to Bernard and Mary Ann Manemann were Louis, Julia Anna, Emily M., Louisa, Bernard J., Joseph W., Rosa T., William Henry, and Francis C.
Bernard and Mary Ann Manemann lived in Menominee Township, Grant County, Wisconsin.

Bernard was a farmer, blacksmith, and wagon maker. Bernard held office as school treasurer for two years and was township clerk for ten years. His father Clements lived with him and did the woodwork, and his brother, John Manemann, was a partner in the business and also held office as township constable for two years.
Bernard H. Manemann died on April 29, 1891, at Menominee, Illinois. He was buried in Nativity BVM Cemetery at Menominee.

Clements Manemann married Mary Anna Stockel on July 4, 1843***, in their native village of Lengerich, Kreis Lingen, Osnabrück, Hanover, Preußen. Mary Anna Stockel was born on November 10, 1820, in Wettrup, a parish in Lengerich, Germany, daughter of Johan Gerhard and Margaretha (Determan) Stockel.
* = Clements's given name was variously spelled as Clemens, Clement, and Clemence. Clements is the way his name appears on his gravestone.
** = date of birth as given on his gravestone. October 31, 1813, is also cited as his birthdate in "Emslanders to the American Mid-West," online at http://www.emslanders.com/m.htm, a reliable source.
*** = January 4, 1843, is also given as the date of marriage in some sources. Obituaries for Clements Manemann do mention that Clements and Mary Anna had celebrated their golden anniversary on July 4, 1893.
In 1845, with their firstborn child Bernard (who was born in 1844), they left Germany, and Clements, age 32, farmer from the Kingdom of Hannover; Marianne, age 24; Bernhard, age 1, and Anna Maria, age 25 (Clements's sister?) arrived in New Orleans on the ship Mata on January 3, 1846, whence they made their way to Nauvoo, Illinois. After a short time they removed to Galena, where the father engaged in farming. Clements Manemann and John Murray were the first permanent white settlers to enter the Menominne Township, which they did in 1847*.
* = on March 1, 1846, according to a biographical item for Bernard Manemann.
In 1870, the Manemann household in Menominee Township, Jo Daviess County, Illinois, consisted of Clement, age 57, wagon maker; his wife, Mary A., age 50; and children, John, age 18; Joseph, age 16; Mary, age 13; Augustus, age 11; and Frank, age 8.

Clements had previously learned the trade of carpentering in Germany, where he had built many residences, mills and public buildings, and so he also conducted a carpenter shop on his farm, where he held an occupation of wheelwright. In 1893, he and his wife celebrated their golden wedding. They were members of the Catholic church, and Mr. Manemann was a stanch supporter of democratic principles.
Clements Manemann died on November 16, 1895, and his wife Mary Anna Manemann passed away on January 4, 1904. They were buried in Nativity BVM Cemetery at Menominee, Illinois.

He was in good health until the Sunday preceding his death, when he sustained a paralytic stroke, which was followed by a second and fatal one Monday afternoon. He was the oldest surviving citizen and one of the original settlers of Menominee. He and the late John Murray were the first permanent white settlers to enter the township, which they did in 1847. Mr. Manneman was a native of Germany and came to this country and to Galena in 1846, at the age of 33. Engaging in farming, he made a success of it and died possessed of a fine farm and extensive property besides. He was married in his native land in 1843 to Miss Mary A. Stockel, a sister of the late J.H. Stockel of Vinegar Hill. A year ago last Fourth of July they celebrated their golden wedding. Seven children survive with her: They are Mrs. G.H.

Mary Anna Manneman DIED AT MENOMINEE. Mrs. Mary Ann Manemann, a pioneer resident of Menominee Township, died at her home at that place on Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the age of 83 years. For many months the aged lady had suffered with a tumor and her death was due to this complaint. Mrs. Manemann was born in Hannover, Germany. She grew to womanhood in her native land, where she was married to Mr. Clemence Manemann. About the year 1845 the young couple emigrated to America, landing at New York. They came west shortly after their arrival in this country, and settled in Menominee. Soon a comfortable home was made in the western wilds and the couple were rewarded for their labors by receiving a goodly share of the blessings of the land. About eight years ago the husband died, and the widow has since made her home with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Manemann, who reside two and one-half miles south of Sinsinawa Mound. The passing away of the aged lady has caused many expressions of deep and sincere regret among all who know her, for they realize that the community has lost one of its most esteemed residents. She was a true and kind neighbor, always willing to assist in hours of toil and trouble. She was a devout worshiper at the altar of the Catholic church and died with its blessings resting upon her. The deceased is survived by eight children, all grown to man and womanhood. They are Bernard, Joseph, John, Gus, and Frank Manemann, and Mrs. Christine Arts of Carroll, Iowa, Mrs. Elizabeth Brinker of Breda, Iowa, and Mrs. Wm. Kuhl of Menominee, Ill. The funeral was held Wednesday morning at 6 o'clock from the residence of her son and from thence to St. Mary's church, Menominee, when the last sad rites were performed by Rev. Father Halbmaier. The large number of sorrowing friends who followed the remains to their last sad resting place attest the high esteem in which Mrs. Manemann was held in the community.

Herman and Mary Theresa (Ripperda) Miller
|
|
* = Her birthplace is given as Langen, Germany, on her gravestone.
** = Miller is Herman's surname as given in the 1850 U.S. census; Muller, which has been cited as a surname for his children, appears to be a variation of Müller (Mueller).
At any rate, Mary Theresa's brothers, Clemens, age 19, farmer, and Bernhard, age 16, farmer, and their mother, Mary Anna (Determann) Ripperda (listed as Marianne), age 49, all listed as from Hannover, came to America, on the ship Ernestine, from Bremen to New Orleans, arriving on June 4, 1850*. It seems likely that Grant County, Wisconsin, was their destination because their sister and daughter, Mary Theresa Miller, was at that place already. Bernard settled at Cuba City in Grant County, while their mother Mary Anna came to live with her daughter Mary Theresa and did so the rest of her life. What became of Clemens is not known.
