* Note: Johannes (John) came to the United States from Rheinpfalz, Bavaria, in 1854 with his wife and the first four of their children. He and his wife joined two brothers who had immigrated earlier, Peter, and Adam. According to family legend, he walked to Wabash from Toledo, Ohio, on the frozen surface of the canal. His family followed later, coming by rail to Ft. Wayne, and by wagon to Wabash. John was a stone mason, and had finished only common school in Germany. His home was on Walnut Street, near Huntington. He never accumulated any large means. He reared a large family, had to work industriously to support them, was strictly honest in all his transactions, and the best memorials to him are the many buildings which remain as evidences of his substantial craftmanship in their stone work.,
