Suggested edit: In the Bio could you put "Theresia Hoflacher Gallinger (My 3rd Great Grandma) Nicholas's sister and her husband Joseph Gallinger had sponsored Uncle Nicholas, Aunt Elizabeth & the kids to come to the U.S. and loaned them $100. Gallinger's had already arrived in the New World and they wanted Uncle Nicholas to 'come right along'. Uncle Nicholas & Aunt Elizabeth sold everything they had and came a year after the Gallinger Family's move. They used the $100 for passage in steerage on the ship HOHENZOLLERN. Uncle Nicholas & Aunt Elizabeth came to America from Germany with nothing but five cents and five kids. Uncle Nicholas died in 1908 from his wounds a few days after a train collision. Uncle Nicholas worked for the Train Company. Uncle Nicholas & Aunt Elizabeth raised eight children with five born in Germany & three in Michigan.
The train wreck story is titled "The Salem Wreck".
I have the full story of the train accident as it is in our Family History Book titled ".... and the horse will take you there" By: Jim Lehnert in 1997.
