Margaret Rades née Stahmer: 1855-1903
During the springtime of 1855 in the village of Schleswig-Friedrichsberg, district of Schleswig, in the Danish Duchy of Schleswig a baby girl was born on Wednesday the 16th of May to her parents, Johann "Carl" Christian Stahmer and Anna Christina Krohn. Five weeks later on June 24th, they baptized her at Trinity Evangelical-Lutheran church in Schleswig-Friedrichsberg and given the Christian name of Anna Margaretha Dorothee Jacobine.
At the age of 17, Margaretha decided to leave home and immigrate to America. Unmarried and unaccompanied, she traveled to the sea port city of Hamburg and booked passage on the Steamship "S.S. Thuringia". 15 days later, she arrived in New York harbor. Her final destination was Wisconsin, specifically the Town of Schleswig, Manitowoc County.
Over the course of the following year, she met and fell in love with a fellow immigrant, Wilhelm Rades. They married on the 15th of April 1874 in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. Margaretha was 18 years old, and Wilhelm was 29, eleven years her senior.
Margaretha's parents and younger sister, Caroline immigrated later that very same year in the falltime in order to be with her and to reunite the family.
Margaretha's mother died sometime before 1880 and was buried in the Schleswig Cemetery. Her sister, Caroline ran away from home and wound up in Milwaukee working as a servant according to the 1880 census. Disillusioned, her father Carl decided to return home to Germany, where he later died.
Margaretha and Wilhelm eventually became the parents of eight children, five girls and three boys, of which the youngest two who were twins died from Whooping cough just before Christmas in the year 1897. They were both about six months of age.
Six years later at the young age of 48, Margaretha while suffering from chronic kidney inflammation, succumbed to a lesion that was in her Heart. She was buried next to her two babies in the same cemetery where her mother was interred. Her husband, Wilhelm survived her by 15 years. He was laid to rest next to her in the Schleswig Cemetery.
