Person:Anna Bullerman (2)

Our Lady of Seven Dolors records indicate that her birthdate was 12/31/1827. (This information was provided to me by Sr. Marion Einck.) Translation of a newspaper article which appeared on November 14th, 1998 in the "Munsterland Zeitung". The article was titled "Searching for fortune in the New World" . It chronicles a small part of the journey of Anna Maria Catherina Bullerman, her brother Theodor and his friend, Bernhard Heinrich Eyinck. Legden/District - If the Ewering/Bullermann family invites you for a family convention they have to send letters to relatives spread all over Germany - but not even there: Just two ancestors emigrated to America and founded their own families there. Whose descendants partly followed the trace of their ancestors. Legden in the middle of the 19th century: The economical situation is as bad as in every other part of the country. Living at bare subsistence, bad harvests, famine, 290 men and 205 women from the small Munsterland municipality have decided to make their own future in the "New World". Among them had been in 1859 the farm girl Anna Maria Catherina Bullermann, her brother Theodor Bullermann and his colleague Bernhard Heinrich Eynck, who lived on the farm of Bullermann for a period of time. They embark in Vlissingen in the Netherlands. To be able to pay for the passage at all, they spend their last savings. Then six weeks crossing, which some of the weakened passengers did not survive. Arrival in Cincinnati and from that place carrying on further with one of the great immigrant treks. In order to survive the deprivation, above all the emigrants had to hold together. The two emigrants Anna Maria and Theodor told themselves that too. Arrive on the continent from which they hope to attain their long-needed happiness, they marry and call themselves Einck from then on. (I have had this sentence sent off for translation twice, and both times it comes back with this interpretation. I believe the original article written in German, was incorrect, as we know the "they married" is referring to the marriage between Catherine Bullermann and Heinrick Eynck.) The little happiness in Cincinnati, where they first settled, doesn't last long: a puzzling disease, presumably cholera, attacks. So the couple escapes to Winneshiek County in Iowa. The former farm maid from Legden had five children.The last son, Henry at the age of 44. Anna Maria died when the baby was five days old. Neighbors attempted to lend a helping hand as much as possible, because the lack of a mother. Hard times had begun as we can read in an extract of a letter which was written by a helpful neighbor, whose origin was probably Legden to. "Hard Times" "Since Einck's wife was dead Franziska had been there for 17 weeks. It was hard time for her because she had to rise up for calming down the baby four or five times a night, and the daily work had to be done. She was alone together with a farmer with a large amount of cattle. And Einck himself had been continuously sick." From a letter written to their parents in Germany on May 10, 1872, this story is recounted by Johann Anna and Franziska Elpert. (Notes from the Ewering Family Tree Document written in German and translated by Erich Pfeiffer. This was provided to me by Sr. Marian.) The economic situation here in the homeland in the 19th century were anything but rosy. One poor harvest followed another. The main food crops, potatoes and rye, both suffered from blights. The potato bushes wilted early and a fungus turned the rye kernels yellow. For many farmer sons there were only two possibilities, either to emigrate, or or to find a so-called "Piggenbrut" (it means that there are only women on the farm], that means to marry into a farm. Industrialization, which provided another possibility to earn money, did not arrive until much later. That explains that from our small town of Legden 290 men and 205 women were searching for their luck in the new world.
