Notes

1 NOTE Germans to America says age 38 and occupation - woman. This age does not match the age I have of 43 at the time of arrival. “Christianna” is the correct spelling according to the 1880 Clinton IA. census. The 1881 censes also says she was born in Oldenberg, Germany and her parents were also born in Oldenberg.

From the Pine Hill Cemetery transcription. HORSTMANN CHRISTINE KARELINE (OGHS) 07/09/1894. Not sure where the name Kareline came from. Did not see the headstone for Christianna or August H. when I walked through the Pine Hill Cemetery in Apr. 2005. The headstone photos were sent to me in Oct 2013 by Chris M.
