ANNA ELIZABETH EMRICH

Anna Emrich was born on September 16, 1805 in the little village of Rothges, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, the daughter of Johannes Emrich and Anna Dorothea Koch. She married Johannes Jox in the Lutheran Church at Rothges on May 12, 1831. They had only one child to survive infancy - Johannes Heinrich Jox. She was short and fat with small grey eyes and jet black hair. She was very sloppy in her manners and drank to excess. That may have been a factor in the decision to follow their son to America - get her away from the influence of her family. Her grandson, Theodore Berg, remembered her as being "scary" - always telling the children ghost stories which he thought she really believed. She outlived her husband and her son, dying in Logansport, Indiana in 1894. She is buried in the Jox family plot in the Ninth Street Cemetery near the St. James church where her son was the pastor.
