  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.
  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.

  		Ohlhausen, Nathalia König This is the life story of Nathalia "Dolly" König who married Henry Ohlhausen in 1917, written well after her death from information gathered from many sources. One of those sources was notes taken down by her daughter-law, Thelma Vetter Ohlhausen. Growing up in the family and at times living with my grand parents, I had no idea of the hardships that she endured until I decided to tell her story. I hope you also agree that it is a story worth telling. God Bless you, Grandma

• 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.

[S353] Certificate of Death, (Issued 25 Oct 2007), His death certificate indicates pneumonia as a cause of death, however his wife died of tuberculosis - and he may have given it to his wife, given the infectious nature of the disease. Gottlieb's death certificate shows Jacob as his father (no Mother listed). Dolly Koenig's diary shows that Gottlieb's sister 'Lizzie' married John Jerke. We therefore assume they have the same father.
