In the German province of Westphalia (where Carl was born), Carl was an apprentice, learning the cigar-making trade, when a number of his relatives decided to move to America. So he and his mother joined Will Koelling and the Henry Koelling family, and they all came to Valley County, Nebraska, USA in 1881.
Carl and his mother homesteaded 80 acres of section 4 of Davis Creek Twp. in the southern part of Mira Valley. They lived in a dugout, and Carl continued to live in that or another dugout for some time after he married Anna Busse. The first five of their children liked to remind the younger ones of the family that they had been born in a dugout.
Carl and Anna had nine children:
Helen Gladys (1903-1986), Raymond harry (1905-1907), Ruth (1908-1908), Howard Carl (1910-1989), Emma Hulda, Alvin, Esther, Alice (Bio contributed by Nebord FAG# 4886444.)
Carl's remains were moved from Mira Valley Cemetery, Valley County, Nebraska to Ord Cemetery on 20 May 1982. (Contributed by Kathy Burr, FAG# 47226369 - e-mail [email protected])
