Jacob Koenig

Other Events and Attributes:

• Reference Number: 1604
• Reference Number: Koe2

Notes:

As of 2017, not much is known about Jacob Koenig. He was listed as the father on the death records for both Gottlieb and Elizabeth Koenig. The death record for Elizabeth also listed Katherine Seigfried as her mother, however because of the age difference between Gottlieb and Elizabeth, it is possible they had different mothers.

Gottlieb's daughter, Nathalia, wrote that her Father had two sisters and one brother.

We also know that Gottlieb and family emigrated from Kronental, N Caucasus, Russia. Kronental was a daughter colony of the main colony 'Belowesch', which was estaqblished in 1766/7 by families mainly from Hessen area in Germany.

Name:
Information from the Allnut Funeral Services show that Jacob Koenig was the name of Elizabeth's father and Gottlieb's death certificate also shows that Jacob was his father

Jacob married Katherine Seigfried about 1870. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Tangier, Woodward, Oklahoma, USA
• Reference Number: 545
• Reference Number: Koe2
• Emigration: 31 May 1899, Kronental, North Caucasus, Russia

Notes:

Lydia Jerke, who married Jakob Sandau wrote: "One of Elizabeth's brothers had immigrated to America before Elizabeth and John but had passed away shrortly before they arrived." [see Jerke1, page 11] We know that the John Jerke and his wife Elisabeth Koenig Jerke immigrated to Granada CO in Dec 1907 and that Gottlieb had died in March 1907 in Granada CO. We therfore are assuming that the parents listed on Elizabeth's funeral home record are also the parents of Gottlieb Koenig.

Illness:


About 1905 he developed breathing problems and the doctor in OK said that he had to go to a drier climate so they moved to Granada CO, likely because Jusinta's brother Daniel W. was working on a sugar beet farm in the area. We know now that he died of TB and that both his father in law, Ludwig W. Sr. and his wife Justina also died of TB.

Occupation:
The ship manifest tells us that their sponsor was John Stadler of El Reno, OK and Nathalia's notes tell us that the family soon started farming

Emigration:
and sailed from Bremen, Germany May 13, 1899 on the ship 'Kaiser Wilhelm de Gross' with their 2 oldest children arriving Ellis Island, New York ||We found Justina's parents and her siblings on the same ship.

Gottlieb married Justina Wonnenberg about 1895 in Kronental, North Caucasus, Russia.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Reference Number: 3173

Notes:

Name:
We have come to the conclusion that Johann Koenig was likely the brother of Gottlieb Koenig and also the brother of Elizabeth Koenig. We are basing this on the picture of Johann and his wife with the note on the back written by Nathalia 'Dolly" (Koenig) Ohlhausen "Dolly's aunt and uncle in Russia". We know that this same aunt and uncle are the second picture with 'Johann Koenig' written on the back. As of this date we do not have paper trail proof or any other proof180101wlf
