Notes

1 NOTE Henry Diimig is listed in the 1884 Ida County, Iowa directory, Garfield Township. Henry came to the USA 26 Feb 1869 at age 23. Realizing that his father’s 60 acre farm near Roden, Bavaria would not support the three family sons, Henry packed his belongings in a trunk and sailed for N.Y. in 1867. He made his way to Chatsworth, Ill, joining the Endres family who had immigrated from Roden, Bavaria, Germany in 1865. Henry married Kuniganda Endres 11 Feb 1873 and they took up farming in Chatsworth, IL. They moved to Danbury, IA. in 1883 by immigrant train and bought railroad land for $6 per acre. Henry engaged in a trucking business after moving to town. They had 7 children. Picture of Henry and Kunigunda headstone in archive.

Two sisters and a brother remained in Germany and a brother, John, also came to the U.S. John bought land in Atlantic, Iowa. Henry went on to Chatsworth, IL, after he arrived in New York. He worked as a laborer until 1873. He married Kunegunda Endres on February 11, 1873. They farmed near Chatsworth for 10 years and then, through the persuasion of W.F. Seibold, decided to come to Danbury, IA to buy land. Land was cheap here, plentiful, and most of it was still unbroken. They moved 3 carloads of belongings by immigrant train. Upon arriving here they took rooms at Collins Hotel, and Mr. Seibold took them out to look at a farm in Ida County, formerly owned by a Hefner family, but it could be bought for $6 an acre (present Vince Diimig farm). They bought the farm which was partially broken. They farmed and improved their buildings. In 1905 the Diimigs retired to Danbury, purchasing the home of W.C. Cameron. The Diimigs had a family of seven, all born in Chatsworth, IL, except the youngest girl, Rose. A son died while the family lived in Illinois, and a son Conrad died of pneumonia soon after the family came to Iowa.

They had children Frank Jr., Henry, Eva (Mrs. Arthur Kirchner), Delbert and Joyce (Mrs. Anthony Vincenzi). Frank and family moved to Dodge Center, MN, in 1920, but they returned to Iowa in 1929. Henry Dimig married Viola Treiber, and they farmed in Monona County, and Henry trucked in Danbury for 14 years. They had children Robert Lee who married Jane Henrich, Mark who married Beth Crawford, and Michael who married Shirley Jewell. Joseph Dimig married Gertrude Smith on October 26, 1909.
