Elisabetha (Goetz) Horter was born in Baden-Württemberg on 10 October 1814 - daughter of Johann Georg Goetz and Elisabetha Hohlbein. She immigrated [via Le Havre, Basse-Normandie, France] to New York City through Castle Garden on 15 June 1864 aboard the ship "Shakespeare", accompanied by her husband, Johann Horter, whom she married in Epping, Heilbronn, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg on 06 April 1834.
Just four years following their arrival in the US, husband Johann/John Horter was buried in Woodland Cemetery in Lot 4B. The lot owner, Elizabeth Hoyer, and husband Gottlieb were living in Omaha, Nebraska at this time and in fact had moved there just two years following John and Elizabeth Horter's immigration.
Given the known ancestry and descendants of John and Elizabeth Horter, and the fact that the Gottlieb Hoyer family was from Thuringia while the Horters were from Baden-Württemberg, with but two years to even meet in Newark before the Hoyers departed for Omaha, there is no known reason why John Horter ("J. Horder" in cemetery records) was buried in Lot 4B. There is also no apparent connection to the other surnames (besides Hoyer), associated with this lot: Baumann, Bross, Dowe, Koether, Kollmar, Loesch, Tauwalt.
She is buried not far away in Lot 49B together with some of their surviving twelve children, all of whom were born in Epping, immigrated with them and were also buried in Woodland Cemetery in various lots.
John and wife, Elizabeth, chose to spell their surname "Horder" as recorded in Woodland Cemetery records and as listed in several Newark city directories leading up to his death. By 1871, however, she is listed twice under both spellings: "HORDER Elizabeth, wid. John" and "HORTER Elizabeth, wid. John".
All their children consistently went by "Horter".
Their daughter, Katharina (1839-1873), married the Newark brewmeister Gottfried Wilhelm Ephraim Krueger (1837-1926): founder of the G. Krueger Brewing Company, Democratic Party power broker, Newark City Council member, lay judge, real estate entrepreneur and impresario as mastermind of Krueger Auditorium - the leading entertainment venue of its day.
In the 1870 US Federal Census (Newark), Elizabeth (head of household) is living next door to Gottfried and Katharina (Horter) Krueger -- and with her daughter Caroline and sons John and Adam. Son Philip Horter is living in the Gottlieb Krueger household itself and listed as an employee of a "brewery" - presumably the Krueger Brewery.
