In the spring of 1856 they travelled with the first German colony to Stearns County and took a homestead in the old town of St. Augusta. Anton and Mary traveled by steamboat down the Ohio River and up the Mississippi then they made their way as far as Lake Pepin, where the ice stopped them temporarily. With their clothes and bedding, they assembled tents in which to camp until the ice broke. They continued up river to St. Paul. A hired ox cart carried the families and their few belongings up the Military Road on the east side of the river as far as the Father Pierz log chapel in Sauk Rapids. There a large hollowed-out oak tree served as a boat to cross the river. While the families waited, the men sought their homestead locations. Anton and Mary chose theirs in St. Augusta. They probably made this trip with the Witschen and Goenner families. From "History of St. Marcus Church," by Patricia K. Witte. Two years later they purchased eighty acres in section 3, St. Augusta township, where they erected a log cabin and outbuildings and engaged in general farming. Eventually they had a good farm of 120 acres. On July 23, 1860 at the time of the U.S. federal census, Maria A. was 27 years old and living in St. Cloud, Stearns, Minnesota with her husband Anton (age 33), daughters Maria A. (age 8) and Elizabeth (age 4), sons Anton (age 6) John (age 2) and Bernard (4 months old), and mother Fredericka Imholte (age 67). Both Anton and his mother said they were born in Preuίen. Anton owned $600 in real estate and $300 in personal estate [Year: 1860; Census Place: Stearns, Minnesota; Roll: M653_574; Page: 955; Image: 372; Family History Library Film: 803574]. Husband Anton Imholte was one of the founders of St. Augusta. In 1888 she and Anton retired and moved to the village of St. Augusta where they both passed away. Mary died in Clear Lake at the home of her son whom she was visiting. |
