A
lengthy history
of Rogers City and the establishment of the Lutheran Churches in
Presque
Isle County, Michigan is listed separately on the Presque
Isle County, Web site. The article
tells the story of Friedrich Horn as written by his sons, Robert and
Karl.
Friedrich, Wihelmine
and their children came from the village of Klötzin, Parish
Schivelbein,
Kreis Belgard, Hinterpommern, Prussia. Klötzin is 12 km (9
miles)
north of Schivelbein. It was founded in 1370. Klötzin
had the oldest "Fachwerkenkirchen" [ornately decorated church] in all
of
Pommern. On the site of the church is written: "Dis Haus
ist
ein Bethaus und ist Gott zu Ehren gebwedet Anno 1588, und er ist
Johannes" TRANSLATION: "This House is a prayers house and honors
God - built in 1588, and is called St. John. Author's note:
Wonder if this is the reason Friedrich chose the name Sankt Johannes
[St.
John] for the first church he built in Presque Isle County,
Michigan?
Today the village of Klötzin is named Klodzino, Poland.
The ships
Manifest
shows Wilhemine, age 42, and Friedrich Horn, age 48, arriving in
Quebec,
Canada on May 21, 1865 on the vessel, KEPPLER, that left from Hamburg
on
April 18, 1865. With them on the boat were their children:
Bertha,
age 19; Robert, age 17; Anna, age 12; and Carl, age 3. From
Quebec
they traveled to Detroit, possibly to stay with Friedrich's sister and
husband, the Johann and Christine [Horn] Nagel family. According
to church records from the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in
Detroit,
as researched by the sainted Rev. Dr. Gilbert Otte, longtime pastor at
Trinity, it shows the John Nagels had 6 children. Friedrich and
Wilhemine
Horn and their children also became members at Trinity.
The
1870 Detroit
census records show:
HORN, Fredric, age 54 - carpenter
Wilhelmina, age 47 - keeping house
Robert, age 22 - cartwright (buggy and wagon maker)
Carl, age 3 - at school (Trinity)
From
the Rogers
City Advance it is stated Friedrich and Wilhemine along with daughter,
Bertha and son-in-law, Heinrich (Carl) Armstaedt (see note on Bertha
Horn
and Heinrich Armstaedt), and son, Carl, came to Rogers City, Michigan
in
1870 with his parents. Their oldest son, Robert, remained in Detroit
working
as a cartwright until 1872 after saving up enough money and then came
to
Rogers City. Daughter, Anna, remained in Detroit, eventually
marrying
Frederick Reif, and remained in Detroit. However, Wilhemine longed to
be
back in Detroit as she missed the sound of the bells of Trinity Church.
After
Friedrich
Horn's death in 14 June 1880 in Rogers City, a HORN burial plot
was
purchased in the Rogers City Memorial Park Cemetery. The plot provided
eight burials. The following is the order of the burials:
1. Friedrich Christian
Horn
- d. 14 June 1880 - a large tall marker.
2. Wilhemine (nee
Tessymiar)
Horn - d. 20 April 1894 - no gravestone.
3. Carl (Charles) Horn
- d.
27 March 1927 - with a gravestone.
4. Robert Horn -
d.
17 Oct 1929 - a foot marker.
5. Bertha, nee Quade,
Horn
- d. 1937 - buried next to husband Carl (Charles) - no gravestone.
6. Fredrick Charles
Horn (only
son of Carl and Bertha) - d. 19 July 1954 - buried next to his
son,
Robert Charles Horn.
7. Paul Horn, gr
grandson
of Friedrich, - d. 18 Nov 1958 - with a gravestone.
8. Edna, nee
Fisher,
Horn - d. 25 Oct 1977 - buried next to her husband, Fredrich and son,
Robert
Horn.
Regarding names:
The ship record of passengers shows Friedrich, not Christian; also
shows
Wilhemine. On the tombstone in the Rogers City Memorial Park is
inscribed
Christian Friedrich Horn. Then in the Charles Horn family tree of
1973 is stated, Henrietta Tessymiar Horn died. Evidently, the
birth
names were Friedrich Christian Horn and Wilhemine Henrietta
Tessymiar.
It is possible their preferred names by family members were Christian
and
Henrietta.

Caroline3 Nagel
(Christiane 'Christine'2 Horn, Christian Friedrich1) was born April 04,
1830 in Pommern, Prussia, and died 1924 in Belknap Township [Rogers
City],
Michigan. She married Leopold August Poch Abt. 1856 in
Prussia.
He was born 1817 in Gross Dübsow, Pommern ,Prussia, and died
1889 in Belknap Township [Rogers City], Michigan.
From
the 1920
census Rogers Township census, Caroline is shown living with Emil and
Lizzie
[Elowsky] Poch on Erie Street in Rogers City.
A
reference is
made that shows her name as Caroline Nagel Florip. At this time,
it is not known if she possibly married a Florip after August's death.
The death
record
of their son,Hermann Poch in 1905, shows Leopolt as his father
instead
of August.
August
was a
sponsor for Ida Emma Rettke, b. 12 March 1869 and baptized 28 March
1869
by the Rev. Johann Adam Huegli in the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran
Church
of Detroit, Michigan. The other sponsors were Alvine Ziesow and
Gustav
Zisow. Ida Emma Rettke was the daughter of August Rettke and
Lisette
geb. Ziesow.
The IGI
records
show August was born in 1832.
From the
75th
Anniversary Edition of the Advance is this article: "March 7,
1884
- The new farm house of Mr. Poch, of the town of Belknap, is a very
large
frame building, contains 15 windows, is clapboarded, has a handsome
cornice,
is elegantly painted, and the principal doors are grained in oak and
nicely
varnished. Sets of varnished deer horns surmount two or three of
the outside doors facing the Town road and give the building quite a
picturesque
appearance. This structure is quite a credit to the whole
township
and should be an example to other farmers in this county who are amply
able to build themselves better dwelling houses and should do so if
they
wish their children to take pride in the farm."
The farm
was
deeded to August Poch 5 Nov 1887 from Herman Hoeft.
Previous
owner is listed as Michael Elowsky, deed dated 17 July 1891. Also
on the deed is Michael Elowsky Miller of Posen. Another deed
shows
August Poch to Rudolph Poch 28 Aug 1889. Evidently, August
Poch died in 1889 to give the deed to his son, Rudolph.
Children of
Caroline Nagel
and Leopold Poch are:

Gustav4
Poch, born June 04, 1856 in Prussia; died March 24, 1905 in

a burial plot [Lot 4 Section B] on 4 October 1869 for
$12.50.
On 22 March 1936 the deed to the plot was given to Henriette Nagel
[wife

buried
on 21 Aug 1942; Christiane Nagel buried 26 March 1873; Ludwig Nagel
buried
18 Jan 1929; Henriette Nagel buried 23 Nov 1939.
Three things
point to the possible relation of Caroline, nee Witt, Nagel to John
Papke,
Henrietta Papke Flemming, and Ludwig Papke: 1. Ralph Pugh was told by
Herbert
Nagel that the Papke's and Nagel's were related back in the 19th
century.
2. John's crude tombstone (the one born in 1800 and died 1885) was made
by the same person who made John Papke's in 1885 and Mrs. Ludwig
Papke's
in 1902. 3. Julius Nagel, Caroline Witt Nagel's son, stood up in
August Papke's baptism in 1885.

1870 Henry and Bertha moved to Presque Isle County along with her
parents,
Friedrich and Wilhelmine Horn and her brother, Carl. Her brother,
Robert Horn and sister, Anna Horn remained in Detroit. Robert
wanted
to continue his Cartwright occupation. However, he did come up to
Presque Isle County in 1873. Anna remained in Detroit and married
Frederick Reif in the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Bertha
and Henry
Armstadt became charter members of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran
Church
in August 1873; and charter members of St. James Evangelical Lutheran
church
in 1876.
The 1900
Federal
census of Moltke Township shows the following: Almstedt, Bertha, age
52,
mother of 10 children with 8 living; year of immigration - 1867; a
farmer;
Frederick, age 29, single; Farm laborer was crossed out; William, age
25,
single; day laborer: Charles, age 22 - farm laborer: Anna, age 20,
single:
Eduard, age 17; farm laborer: Otto, age 8, at school: Clementson,
Thomas,
age 39, married, boarder, immigrated in 1881, carpenter.
From the
property
index for Moltke Township of 1900 is shown: Fred Almstead - Section 26:
Wm Almstead - Section 34: Bertha Almsted - Section 26: F. Almsted -
Section
26: Wm. Alstead - Section 17.
An
Advance newspaper
article that is dated 19 April 1917 states: "Mrs. Henry Almstead passed
away Tuesday and was buried Sunday afternoon. She leaves 3
daughters
and 5 sons."
Carl Algenstaedt
arrived alone in America on the ship, KEPPLER, on October 27, 1863 from
Hamburg to New York. The ships record also states the
following:
Left Hamburg, Germany on September 17, 1863, age 25, knecht
(male,
farm servant laborer), from BANTOW - Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany, to
MI.
NOTE: a
" KNECHT" was a young male farmhand or servant, someone who
did not have his own house. A KNECHT lived on someone's farm in
farm
buildings (Gesindehaus) all through their life together with the
farmer-owner
and his family, or until he married. The meals and lodging were
provided.
The
spelling of
the last name ARMSTAEDT is recorded in the 1870 census record of
Clinton
Township, Macomb County. The spelling ARMSTÄDT is recorded
in
the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Detroit, Michigan church
records.
In
Charles and
Robert Horns translations of the history of Rogers City and the
Lutheran
Churches of Northern Michigan, they spell the last name
ALMSTEDT.
The name on the charter membership of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran
Church
is - HENRY ALMSTAEDT.
On their
sons
Wilhelm, Karl, and Eduard's Denksprach (Confirmation) certificates that
are dated 1888, 1892, and 1896 the name is spelled
ALGENSTÄDT
or ALGENSTAEDT. On the tombstone for Heinrich and Bertha is
ALGENSTAEDT as seen in the St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church
Cemetery
in Moltke Township.
The
tombstones
for William and Francis, Fred, Carl, Edward, and Otto/Margaretha use
the
name ALGENSTEDT as seen in the St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church
Cemetery
in Moltke Township on Ward Branch Road. Today, there
is an ALGENSTEDT Highway in Moltke Township.
I have no
record
stating the name changes. However, it is interesting that Carl
entered
America as ALGENSTAEDT and died in Moltke as ALGENSTAEDT. He was
known as Henry, although the baptism, marriage, and ship record shows
his
first name as Carl. For this family book the last name will be
spelled
Armstadt.
In the
fall of
1892, Henry had broken his knee cap. The doctor drove a nail into
it, and died as a result of it.
From the
Presque
Isle County Democrat [newspaper] vol. 2 #45 - dated 29 December 1892 is
the following article:
"Henry
Armstead
of the township of Moltke, who suffered an excision of the knee joint
about
2 months ago, and whose serious illness we chronicled in a preceding
issue,
died last Thursday morning from septicemia [blood poisoning]. The
funeral took place on Sunday last and was largely attended by sorrowing
relatives and friends."
The 8
December
1892 Advance issue states the following: "Frederick Armstead of
Moltke
who suffered an excision of the knee-joint some six weeks ago is
reported
in a critical condition and no hope is now entertained for his
recovery."
The
original Trinity
Church in Detroit was a wood frame chapel of the Western Seamen's
Society on Woodbridge St. That was moved to Larned and Rivard
Streets
in downtown Detroit. This very building is where Berth Horn
married
Carl Armstädt. A week later, Trinity moved into their new
brick,
Gothic church on Gratiot. In 1931, the Goth brick church was
replaced
by the present day Gothic Cathedral.

playing spitzer. She was a gracious hostess, who would favor
those
at her house with delectable "German" food. One of her

Robert
remained
in Detroit when his parents, Friedrich and Wilhelmine and his brother
Charles
(Carl) Horn left for Presque Isle County (Rogers City), Michigan in
1871.
Robert came in early 1873 after accruing enough money from his
profession
as a wheel cartwright in Detroit. In August 1873 he became a
charter
member of the St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Rogers
City.
His father was instrumental in gathering together the pioneer Lutherans
of Presque Isle County that led to the formation of the following
Lutheran Churches in 1873: St. John's - Rogers City; St.
Michael's
- Belknap; and Immanuel - Moltke; St. Paul - Posen.
Robert
met his
wife, Mathilde Wenzel in Rogers City. They remained in Rogers
City
until 1890 when Robert became the proprietor of the Dry Dock Hotel
-
459 Atwater - Detroit, Michigan. The 1895 Detroit city directory
shows that Robert Horn was proprietor of the St. Lawrence Hotel at the
corner of Atwater and Randolph. Shown boarding there were Anna
[Wenzel]
- Peter H MacCorquodale, machinist. In 1900-1901 the
Detroit
city directory shows Robert Horn [Horn and Reinke] with house at 23
Lysander.
In 1901 and 1902 Robert Horn is shown as agent with a house at 23
Lysander.
He is not listed in Detroit for the 1903 directory.
In
Detroit, they
took membership at the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in
Detroit.
That is where son, Paul was confirmed in 1891, and daughter Elsie was
baptized
in 1893. In late 1901 or early 1902 Robert, his wife
Mathilde,
their daughters Anna and Elsie moved to Syracuse, NY. They became
members of First Evangelical Lutheran Church there, and lived at
Solvang
[Onondaga County], NY, a suburb of Syracuse. Robert died
just
2 months before his brother, Charles.
For the
50th
anniversary of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Rogers City in
1923, Robert and his younger brother, Charles (Carl) wrote a history of
Rogers City and the Lutheran Churches of Presque Isle County,
Michigan.
This was published in the German language in book form. For the
75th
Anniversary of the Lutheran Churches and of Rogers City, that book was
translated into the English language. The accounts were then
printed
in the Rogers City Newspaper, the Advance. The Accounts were
repeated
for the 100th Anniversary. NOTE: The entire account of the
history
of Rogers City and of the Lutheran Churches is found from another PI
GenWeb
page.
From the
75th Anniversary
Edition of the Advance is this article: " March 8, 1883 - Mr. Robert J.
Horn who has for many years been in charge of the Herman Hoeft store in
Rogers City, has entered into a co-partnership with Mr. Frederick Kiel,
of Detroit and they together have purchased the store and stock in

Anna
married
the widower, John F Dohm some years after John's first wife, Ora May,
died
at age 39 on 24 May 1921. Since the 1928-1929 Syracuse City
directory shows Anna L Horn as a comptometer at Crouse-Hinds Co., it
can
be assumed she married after 1929. No children were born to Ann
and
John. However, John had a child from his previous marriage - Lois
Dohm.
Anna,
John and
Ora May Dohm are buried in Section B3 - Lot 235 in Myrtle Hill

family as a domestic servant.
Friederick
Reif was baptized on July 10, 1853 as George Frederick and confirmed on
2 March 1866 in the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Detroit,
Michigan
by the Rev. Johann Adam Huegli. His name on the confirmation

shows Friedrich Julius with the Julius crossed out and George written.
The 1870
Detroit
- Ward 6 census shows Friedrich Reif, age 17 , upholsterer, living with
his father, John [a tailor], and his brothers John age 11, John age 7;
and sister Babetta age 10. Also living in the home is his
future
wife, Anna Horn age 16 - a domectic servant. Friedrich's mother
died
5 years earlier.
In
the
church directory he is listed as being a furniture maker. The Detroit
city
directory of 1880 states Friedrich is an upholsterer for Kirchberg -
Winterhalter
- Keenon in Detroit. In the Detroit city directory of 1890,
Frederick was a managing director and partner of the James J
Keenan-Adolph
Jahn Fine Furniture Company with showrooms at 213 - 217 Woodward Avenue
- in the area of the Fox Theater. His residence at that time is listed

at the St. Mark's Church basement on East Grand Boulevard - between
Forest
and Canfield Avenue, since Trinity didn't have facilities to
accommodate
the large attendance. He was a church Vestryman for 13 years.
Trinity Church
records
show that Anna Louise Horn, age 22, and Friedrich Julius (crossed out
and
George inserted) Reif, age 21, an upholsterer, married on 2 May 1875
with
witnesses: Johann Dienzer and Johann Reif. Evidently, shortly
after
their marriage Friedrich and Anna moved to Toledo, Ohio, since their
first
child was born there. However, they came back to reside in
Detroit. Their children attended the Trinity School that stood on
the property behind the church.
Children of Anna

Notes on
Emma, nee Horn, Adrian as told by Bob Adrian:
Her
father always
went by the name of Charles while he was living. And although
German
born, he spoke English fluently with little or no accent which should
not
be too surprising as he was very young at the time of
immigration.
However, my mother, Bertha, nee Quade, Horn, on the other hand was much
more clingish to the German. She came to America as a teenager,
learned
and used English when absolutely necessary, but felt much more
comfortable
in the German. After Charles (Carl) death Emma, his daughter, had
a stone erected in his memory, but, too her astonishment, she had it
inscribed
with the name "Carl" rather than "Charles."
The
following
is the Obituary from the Presque Isle County Advance weekly newspaper:
WELL KNOWN AND
RESPECTED CITIZEN
DIED THURSDAY AT MIDNIGHT FROM HEART DISEASE-SUDDEN ATTACK
Charles Horn,
for many years a resident of Rogers City and numbered among the city's
most respected citizens, died suddenly at his home on Erie Street about
eleven thirty o'clock Thursday night. For some time he has
suffered
from heart disease and his death came to him suddenly and
painlessly.
Mr. Horn had been feeling unwell for a short time and went to the
kitchen
to sit by the fire and feeling better returned to his bed, but fell
just
as he reached it. He roused from his stupor in a moment or two
and
asked his wife who was bending over him, asked what had happened, then
passed into unconsciousness again and died in a few moments. He
was
65 years of age.
While Mr.
Horn's
death came as a great shock to members of his family and to friends,
his
condition for some time had been such that his death could not be
entirely
unexpected. Several years past he had retired to a quiet life
after
more active duty having been informed by his physician that his heart
was
in a serious condition and that he could no longer endure the strain of
heavier work nor the activity of his younger days. It is not
unlikely
that Mr. Horn knew his condition better than any one else and realized
that he might be called, but it was no deterrent to his pleasant and
cheerful
disposition. We believe we are correct to say that he was
cordially
liked and most respected in this community where he had for many years
made his home.
Funeral
services
were held Monday afternoon from St. John's Lutheran Church at two
o'clock
and there was not a vacant seat in the church, in fact many of the
friends
who had come to pay their last respects could not get into the
church.
Pastor Ernest Ross spoke most fittingly of the deceased. Mr. Horn
had been a life long member of the church and his body was borne to its
last resting place by brother officers of the church and old friends:
Max
C Kuhlman, A.P. Bertram, G.W. Grambau, Oswald Bruder, August Flemming,
and Charles Detloff Jr. Music during the service was rendered by
organist H.F. Hansen and Mrss Cora Flemmming and Mrs. Ben Santimao sang
a vocal number. Undertaker Kerley had charge of the funeral
assisted
by Undertaker Charles Atkins of Millersburg.
Mr Horn
was born
in Klötzin, Kreis Belgard, Pomerania, Germany in 1861, and came to
this country with his parents in 1865. They settled first in
Detroit
and later came to Presque Isle County in the year 1872 when he was
eleven
years of age. Mr Horn's father, Christian Friedrich Horn, was a
carpenter
by trade and built some of the first buildings in Rogers City, among
them
the old Lutheran Church on First Street, the first church built in the
county and which has since burned down and also the Hoeft store
building,
now the A.F. Lehndorff and Son Hardware. His father also built
the
Wenzel home on First Street, where the family lived for a number of
years.
It was that house which also served as the first parsonage of the
Lutheran
Church.
Charles
Horn
took up farming as an occupation as a young man and for a number of
years
framed in Rogers Township, coming to Rogers City about twenty-five
years
ago (1902). He was married in 1884 to Miss Bertha Quade.
He bought
his
present home on Erie Street from Joseph Smith, now of Posen, and the
family
lived there since. During his residence here Mr. Horn served most
capably in a number of public offices. He was in various times
Village
treasurer, member of the county poor commission, and had served one
year
as township treasurer. He was highly thought of and had many
friends.
Surviving
him
are his widow, two daughters, Mrs. Emma (Frederick) Adrian, living near
Yale and Miss Edith, at home, and one son, Fred (Edna) Horn of this
city.
Mr. and Mrs. Adrian arrived here Saturday for the funeral services.
He was
preceded
in death by his parents: Friedrich Christian and Wilhelmine Henriette
Tessemiar
Horn; by his brother Robert Julius Horn who died only two months ago in
Syracuse, New York: and by his sisters - Bertha Emilie Auguste Horn
Algenstaedt
of Moltke Township and Anna Louise Mathilde Horn Reif in Detroit,
Michigan.
Bertha
was the
oldest child of August and Augusta Quade. She lived in a small
village
of Kallies, Kreis Dramburg, Hinter Pommern, West Prussia. Today
it
is named Kalisz Pomorski, Poland. While still in school she
worked
as a shepherdess, and told of earning money for her confirmation
clothes.
One item of luxury was a pair of white woolen stockings (leggings)
which
she knit out of fine yarn with her name "BERTHA" knitted into each
leg.
When she had the first one done, the sheep got away and she had to
chase
them. While doing so, she could not find the missing sock.
She didn't complain much of having to knit the third sock, but it sure
wrecked her finances to buy the extra yarn.
The year
after
her confirmation in the Lutheran faith, her brother, CHARLES QUADE, had
also completed his schooling and was also confirmed in the Lutheran
faith.
With the permission of their parents, they both went off to Berlin,
where
work was more plentiful and wages better. They were there about
three
years when one day Charles heard of the wonderful opportunities that
were
available in America. The Civil War depression was about to an
end.
Factories in the North were at full swing again and the American
Federal
Government had been advertising in many European papers for workers of
all kinds. The "West" was being opened up and much land was being
made available for lumbering and farming - all for little, and
sometimes
NO money needed.
The
particular
advertisement that had caught Charles Quade's attentions was from firms
in New York and Boston. The firm would send boat tickets to any
ambitious
young man or woman who wanted to work in America. The stipulation
was that the immigrant would be obliged to work for the firm until they
had earned the price of the boat ticket. Bertha Quade would have
a job in a big college in New York that wanted young girls to work in
the
laundry room and do the fine starched laundry.
After
talking
the whole thing over with their parents, and with some reluctance on
the
part of their parents, August and Augusta Quade, the two teenagers,
picked
up their tickets and set sail for the golden opportunities of the New
World,
America, and New York.
When they
were
only a couple days out of Germany across the Atlantic, they ran into
trouble.
Something had gone wrong with the rudder of their ship and it couldn't
be fixed. They were at the mercy of the wind and the waves.
Drifting out of the shipping lanes, they lost track of time. The
captain put his crew and passengers on strict rations until they were
down
to just hard tack and water. And finally to a half piece of hard
tack and a half cup of water every morning and evening. Just as
all
hope seemed to be fading away, the wind must have shifted. They
found
they had drifted back into the shipping lanes where they saw another
ship
in the distance. The other ship had also seen them and came to
their
rescue. The rescue ship was able to tow them towards New York,
BUT
even more important to the hungry passengers, it was able to give them
much needed food and fresh water.
The news
of their
rescue got to New York ahead of them, probably by way of fishing boats,
and ladies in New York baked "goodies" and made pots of stew and soup
and
came down to the harbor. The city band came and played. The
hot food was hoisted up to them, as the happy, elated, and thankful
passengers
sang and shouted to the people on shore. Not many emigrants were
welcomed into New York the way Bertha and Charles were.
One of
the first
things Bertha and Charles did was to write to their parents in
Germany.
There had been a period of mourning for their parents because the news
had been brought to Germany that their ship had been lost at sea with
no
survivors. Their parents, August and Augusta, were reassured
enough
so that a few years later, they allowed two more of their children,
Anna
and William Quade, apply for ship tickets to America.
After
their quarantine
period on Ellis Island in the New York harbor, they went to their
jobs.
They next four years were spent in New York. It was sometime
during
the year 1880 that they had arrived in America.
In one of
the
letters from their folks in Germany, the two were informed that an Aunt
and Uncle, Ferdinand and Augusta [Quade] Wenzel, and his sons, Otto and
Reinhard Wenzel, had come to America in 1882 and had moved to a place
called
Rogers City, Michigan. So they started writing to the Wenzels and
were encouraged by the Wenzels to come to the "north country" in
Michigan.
They mentioned to Charles Q. that if they had thought New York was
opportunity,
both he and Bertha should see Rogers City. The wages he would
earn
in the lumber camp were unbelievable. And there was land to be
had
by just filing a claim. To someone who had never expected to own
as much as a square inch of ground the idea of forty acres was just too
much. He tried to persuade Bertha to go, but for a long time she
was reluctant. Finally he won out and late in the summer of 1884
they both quit their jobs and bought train tickets to Detroit.
From
Detroit
they took the boat to Rogers City where Uncle Wenzel met them with his
horse and wagon. As they started for his home they passed a few
buildings
(and fewer people). They rode and rode and rode. Finally
Bertha
asked how much farther it was until they would reach Rogers City.
Her uncle Wenzel was irked with her as he asked what she thought that
cluster
of houses was they had passed a while back. At that point Bertha
could have "cried her eyes out". She thought it was some kind of
suburb - after having lived in Berlin and New York, it sure didn't look
like much of a "city".
Charles
soon
found work and acquired that 40 acres of land. Bertha, too, soon
became known as a hard working young lady and found work also.
She
also found a young handsome, Christian gentleman from a well-known
family
in Rogers City and Presque Isle County. That young man was
CHARLES
HORN. Bertha might have thought she had been left out at the end
of the work when she had arrived in Rogers City, but she found new
strength
and faith when she found Charles Horn. Courting, engagement, and
one of the most beautiful weddings in the old First Street St. John's
Evangelical
Lutheran Church, soon followed in 1884. Great grandfather
Friedrich
Christian Horn, Charles Horn's father, had built the church
literally
with his own hands.
Bertha
and Charles
Horn made their home in Rogers City. Bertha had put in her time
as
being a "hired out girl" and now started to think about raising
her
own family. In 1886 came the first arrival, Matilda, but our
Heavenly
Father in His wisdom took the little girl back to Himself in heaven at
birth.
April 7,
1887
brought joy and gaiety back into the Horn home at the birth of another
daughter, Emma Louise Horn. On November 23, 1894 their only son,
Friedrich Robert Horn, was born. Their last child, a daughter,
Edith
Ann Horn, was born December 29, 1904, making Emma 17 and
Friedrich
10 years old at the time.
1894 had
both
sad and happy events. Friedrich was born that year, and August
and
Augusta Quade, and their two sons, Gustav and Otto, arrived in
Rogers
City from Germany, Everyone was saddened by the death of
Great-grandmother
Wilhemine Henrietta (Tessymiar) Horn, wife of the original Horn to
Rogers
City; namely, Friedrich Christian Horn. She was buried from
the St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church and interred in the Memorial
Park Cemetery, next to her husband in the Horn plot.
This is
the beginning
of the story - not the end. The story is still going on and will
be going on for quite some time.

to mate during the lovely summer season, we can authoratively place the
names of Mr. Emil Poch of the township of Belknap, and Miss Lizzie
Ellofsky,
daughter of Michael Ellofsky, of Posen mills. The nuptial
ceremony,
we are informed, will be performed by the Rev. Mr. Bruno Potzgar, of
Belknap,
and will take place in about two weeks hence. Mr. Poch owns and
operates
one of the finest farms in Presque Isle county, and at the same time
sells
more agricultural implements that all other agents in the county put
together.
It is rumored that after this marriage, Mr. Poch may move to Rogers
City
and carry on a general agricultural implement and hardware business;
however,
this may be, we cannot positively state, but can say that wherever this
youthful and handsome couple may conclude to locate, that our best
wishes
for their connubial happiness, long life, and prosperity will follow
close
in their wake."

The

Wilhelmine was
born in Rogers City before her parents bought 80 acres of land in
Moltke
township. The St. Johns - Rogers City records shows she is the
first
entry in the St. John’s/Immanuel record books, and the first child
baptized
on 24 March 1873 by the Rev. Probst of Alpena. Rev. Probst came to
serve
the Lutherans in Presque Isle County before St. John's was established
in Rogers City. Her God-parents were Robert Horn, Mathilde
Wenzel,
and Friedericke [Papke] Streich. The Presque Isle County birth

his
4th birthday. He came with his parents – Carl and Pauline [Goltz]
Knopf and his sister, Emilie Knopf. Emilie married Friedrch
Flemming
and lived on the Flemming Homestead in Belknap township.
Hermann came
with his
parents, Carl S. and Pauline (Golz), to Belknap in 1873. Prior to
that time he lived in Detroit, Michigan, possibly living with

Ads in Detroit for "free" land in Northern Michigan lured his parents

by the Rev. Johann Antonius Bohn [first Lutheran clergyman in Northern
Michigan]. His memory verse for life was Psalm 37:5. Also

He helped
his
parents on the Knopf Homestead in Belknap. He helped construct
the
log house, which was located 1/4 mile directly south of the present day
Eldon and Sally Knopf home. He helped split the cedar logs
for rails which would become the fences to contain the cattle.
His
mother, Pauline,
gave Hermann, the oldest son, ownership of the farm on September 26,
1892.
He married Wilhemina Algenstedt (Armstädt) shortly
afterward.
Hermann and Wilhemina built a new home right along Hagensville Road
(Highway
638 today). That became too small with the addition of their 5
children.
In 1915 they built a larger home near where the present day Eldon and

his parents and sisters moved to Syracuse, New York in 1901.
From the 1899
Detroit
City directory is shown that Paul is a laborer and lives on Cicotte Ave
3 blocks north of Michigan Ave. The 1900-1901 Directory
shows
Paul Horn, Laborer, with same address as in 1899. The 1902

upholsterer,
with house on east side of Cicotte Avenue and 3 north of Michigan

upholstery
establishment in Marshall.
Also
living at
the same house on Cicotte in Detroit during the years listed above was

Springwells
township - Wayne County, Michigan. This is the same

shows that Paul died of a Cebral Hemmorage, with contributory cause
being
Artereosclerotic heart. He died in the Calhoun County Hospital
[Marshall],
Michigan. He had been there 1 month and 10 days. The
church records state he died of 'old age.'
Paul's
funeral
was held in the Court Funeral Home in Marshall, Michigan, with burial
in
the Oakridge Cemetery: Section 14 - grave 38.
The
obituary
from the Battle Creek Enquirer - News for Wednesday - August 27, 1958,

The text
at her

Section
14, grave 37.
Paul Horn
and
his family were found from the 1900 and 1910 Michigan census
records.
Their children were listed on those records.
The
Ontario Marriage
record shows the following:
Paul
Horn: age
20, of Detroit, MI, a bachelor, upholsterer, parents of Paul - Mathilda
Wenzel and Robert Horn: parents of Mary - Laura Rickey and
Christopher
Haft; witnesses - Amelia and James Oliver of Windsor, Ontario, Canada;

H Huid; date of registration - 6 Jan 1898. [NOTE: They were
married
in the Provincial Office in Windsor. Their attendants were Court
appointed. They were married by the Court Judge. Paul
was Lutheran. Mary was baptized in the Immanuel Lutheran
Church
of Detroit where her parents were members and where her siblings also
were
baptized. Also, the Immanuel records show her mother's name
as Eleonore Geschke and her father's name as Christian
Heft.
Therefore, the information the Canadain Provincial provided does not
agree.
It is not
known
at this time when and why they chose to live in Marshall (Calhoun
County),
Michigan. From the 1900 Wayne County, Michigan census Paul and
Mary
are listed with their infant daughter, Anna.
From the
Zion
Evangelical Lutheran Church records in Marshall, Michigan is shown the
deaths of Paul and his wife Mary Martha [Hoeft] Horn.
The death
certificates
from the Calhoun County (Marshall), Michigan names the cause of death
and
the burial location for both. Also listed was the maiden name of
Mary [Hoeft] and the names of her parents [Chris Hoeft and Elanor
Peschi].
Both are
buried
in the Oakridge Cemetery 614 Dibble (off Homer Road) - Section 14,
graves
37 and 38. In 1920, their home was at 217 South Grand
Avenue in Marshall [Calhoun County], Michigan.

Clara was

to be married in Zion Church, she needed to be a confirmed member.
The
marriage
record was found in the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church records -
Marshall
[Calhoun County], Michigan.

Heinrich Emil
Friedrich5 Knopf (Wilhemine Louise Mathilde4 Armstadt, Bertha Auguste
Emilie3
Horn, Friedrich Christian Johann2, Christian Friedrich1) was born July
06, 1895 in Belknap Township, Hawks, Michigan, and died November 05,
1982
in Rogers City, Michigan. He married Helma Margaretha Legner
November
06, 1929 in St. Peter's Ev. Luth. Church - Metz, MI, daughter of Albert
Legner and Johanna Wetzel. She was born October 06, 1902 in Metz,
Michigan, and died September 30, 1976 in Rogers City, Michigan.
On
July 21, 1895
Heinrich Emil Friedrich Knopf was baptized by the Rev. Bruno Potzger in
the St. Michael's Evangelical Lutheran Church at Belknap (Rogers City),
Michigan. His sponsors were Heinrich Wenzel [uncle], Fritz
Almstedt
[uncle], and Emilie Flemming [aunt].
On April
4, 1909
[Palm Sunday] Heinrich was confirmed in St. Michael's Church by the
Rev.
H. W. Essig.
As a
young man
Henry would harness and yoke oxen to plow the fields. His Uncle
Paul
Knopf stayed at the Knopf homestead helping with the farm work.
Henry
enlisted
in the United States Army on May 27, 1918. He was assigned with
Company
"D" - 16th Infantry.
Battles,
engagements, skirmishes and expeditions he was involved in were at St.
Mihiel and Muse Argonne. He served both in Germany and
France.
On July
22, 1919
Henry was discharged. He was entitled travel expenses of $60.00
to
Rogers City AND $130.00 including $60.00 bonus by Capt. B. C. Moore at
Camp Mead, Maryland on September 5, 1919. Henry left Camp Mead
September
24, 1919 for his journey to Rogers City and the Knopf farm.
At the
Knopf
farm, Henry and his father, Hermann, grew wheat, oats, barley,
potatoes,
and corn for silage. They also has herds of sheep, dairy cows,
chickens,
hogs , young stock (beef animals), and much hay.
On July
15, 1930
the farm was transferred to Henry and Helma from Hermann. Henry
then
started to develop a purebred Holstein dairy herd. However, in
1940
the herd developed brucellosis and had to be destroyed. This
didn't
hamper Henry's desire to continue a dairy herd. It was at this
time
he began to introduce purebred brown Swiss cattle. Brown Swiss
had
the dual advantage of producing high butterfat milk content and also
providing
quality salable beef. Henry's cousin, Edward Flemming, would stay
at the Knopf home as a hired man.
The other
crops
were continued to be grown and larger acreage of potatoes were
grown.
To accommodate a greater acreage of potatoes and a larger herd meant
the
need for more land. Henry purchased the Richardson Lumber land
and
the Emil and Lizzie [Elowsky] Poch farm on 2 March 1921. The farm
now grew to 360 acres. With help from his sons, Eldon, Donald,
and
Elwood, justice was done to the large acreage. Until 1949, all farm
work
was done with horses. When Henry purchased the first Farm-all H
in
1949 the horses were phased out. A year later a Farm-all M
was purchased. Other machinery was purchased that speeded farm
work:
a grain combine, a hay baler, manure loader, 4 bottom plow, and milkers.
Fences
were taken
down, raising hogs ceased, potato growing stopped. More time and
effort were put in the dairy production exclusively. Nationally
there
was a greater need for lower butterfat milk. That is when his
son,
Eldon, started introducing Holstein dairy cows to his herd.
On March
31,
1965 Henry and Helma turned over the ownership of the Knopf farm to his
oldest son, Eldon and his wife Sally (Kuechenmeister). They
continue
to operate it as a cash crop farm. Eldon sold the registered
Holstein
dairy herd in the spring of 2000.
In 1973
the farm
was designated as a Michigan Centennial Farm - owned and operated by
the
same family for one hundred or more years.
In 1965
Henry
and Helma moved to the newly remodeled "old" Belknap Township Hall,
directly
across from the farm.
Henry
died at
age 87 and is buried in the St. Michael's (Belknap) Church
Cemetery.
The pallbearers were Alvin Elowsky, Edwin Elowsky, Emil Zeglevsky,
Donald
Bromund, Thomas Knopf, and Herman Rosteck.
Helma
Margaretha
Legner was baptized November 2, 1902 from St. Peter's Evangelical
Lutheran
Church in Metz, Michigan by the Rev. Ernst Thieme. Her sponsors
were
Paul Hardies, Amanda Hoffmann and Emilie Roehring. Emilie
[Molkentin]
married Frederick Heinrich Johann Roehring on 29 Nov 1882 in the
Immanuel
Evangelical Lutheran Church in Alpena, MI. How she is connected
to
the Legner family is not known. The Roehrings are buried in
the St. Peter's Cemetery.
The St.
Peter's
Lutheran Church of Metz was dedicated 1 July 1909. The Rev. Peter
Klueppel of Archbold, Ohio and the Rev. Bruechnen of Alpena presided
over
the dedicatory service, assisted by the pastor, Rev. Ernest
Thieme.
On March 28, 1915 Helma was confirmed by the Rev. Rudolf Muenzinger at
St. Peter's Church.
In the 1920's
Helma
worked in Detroit as a switchboard operator.
In 1928,
when
back from Detroit and at her parents farm in Metz, she answered the
door
to find a young, handsome gentleman who had driven up in a brand new
1928
Chrysler sedan. This gentleman was checking on a horse that the
Legners
were selling. In the meantime, Helma's interest was in this
handsome
young man - Henry Knopf.
On a Wednesday,
November
6, 1929 Henry and Helma were married at the St. Peter's Evangelical
Lutheran
Church in Metz, Michigan by the Rev. Albert R. Seemann.
Their
witnesses were Alfred Legner, Louise Wenzel, Fred Knopf, and Nona
Miner.
The text was Genesis 2, verse 18.
They made
their
home in Belknap Township on the Knopf homestead farm, directly across
from
the Belknap Township Hall. In retirement they bought the Township
Hall and remodeled it for their home. In December,
1998
there was a fire in the upstairs of the old Township Hall. The
"house"
was torn down, much salvageable lumber was saved by Stan Reese
[son-in-law
of Eldon and Sally Knopf],and used in the construction of his appliance
repair shop.
Helma was
a "gourmet"
cook; sausage maker; baker, sewer; seamstress; gardener; berry-picker;
Tiger fan; canner of fruits, vegetable, meats; immaculate house keeper;
knitter; crocheter; Spitzer and game player; crossword puzzle solver;
recipe
saver; letter writer; devoted to her church and faith; and a respected
family manager.
Helma
observed
many Pommern traditions brought from the "old country" - Pommerellen,
West
Prussia; namely,
1. On Good Friday all bedding would be taken outdoors to be
aired.
The mattresses also would be put on "horses", and beaten.
This
was to ward off any bedbugs during the year.
2. NO baking would be done on Good Friday. Or all baked
goods
would be as hard as board.
3. St. Swithins day, July 15, was always observed. If it
rained
that day there would be 40 days of rain. If the weather was fair
that day there would be "perfect" for the next 40 days.
4. Kulich (Easter Bread) and Pashka (molded cream confection)
were
only made on Holy Saturday.
5. The children would fill a potato crate half full of straw,
line
the crate on the edge of the porch for the Easter rabbit.
6. The parents on Easter Eve would dye eggs using the dried skins
of onions, which were boiled to make a deep maroon egg color.
7. The last 12 days of December indicated the weather for the
months
of the following. For each day the weather was recorded on the
calendar,
and then written on each month of the following new year.
8. Sow seeds only on the correct sign of the moon, differing from
root plants and those producing on stems.
9. Save all rainwater from the eaves/downspouts in barrels to be
used for a soft water in doing laundry.
10.
2nd Christmas Day [December 26] and Easter Monday were important Holy
days
- holidays with attendance of Church Services.

from Robert Adrian, Jr. : Upon the move to Yale, my dad
naturally
joined the WELS church which at the time enjoyed full communion
fellowship
with LCMS. As with many families, the doctrinal controversies of
the 1950s tore our family apart. After the split came in 1962,
our
family stayed with the WELS. By that time I had enrolled at Dr.
Martin
Luther College in New Ulm, MN. Never-the-less, it was a bitter
time
for us. Our family history and loyalties had always laid with the
faith and convictions of our ancestors. I remember my
grandmother,
Emma Louise, nee Horn, Adrian saying at one time: "When your
mother
and father have a fight and split up, which one do you still want to
love."
