| Notes: | Hersen Anton Imholte arrived in Baltimore on July 17, 1850 on the ship Albert which had last left the port of Bremen. He stated that he was a farmer from Prussia |
| [Baltimore Passenger and Immigration Lists, 1820-1872]. He settled in
Cincinnati, Ohio, where he joined a German settlement. Anton and
Mary were married in Cincinnati and their first daughter Mary was born
there.
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]. On July 23, 1860 at the time of the U.S. federal census, Anton was 33 years old and living in St. Cloud, Stearns, Minnesota with his wife Maria A. (age 27), 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 he 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]. Anton was enumerated as a 38-year-old farmer from Germany living in St. Augusta, Minnesota when he enlisted in June 1863 for the 2nd Congressional District [National Archives and Records Administration (NARA); Washington, D.C.; Consolidated Lists of Civil War Draft Registration Records (Provost Marshal General's Bureau; Consolidated Enrollment Lists, 1863-1865); Record Group: 110, Records of the Provost Marshal]. During the U.S. Civil War, Anton joined Company B, 3rd Regiment, Minnesota Volunteers and was taken prisoner at Murfreeboro, Tennesee. While on parole he was sent to fight the Indians and from there he returned to Minnesota [Source: Declaration for Invalid Pension, dated October 2, 1891]. Later he and his wife 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. Anton Imholte was one of the founders of St. Augusta. In 1888 they retired from the farm and moved to the village of St. Augusta where they both passed away. Anton died of apoplexy (of 14 years) at the age of 75 years, 4 months, and 12 days. He was attended by Dr. Henry Knebs. [Document No. A-10-263] His estate went through probate in Stearns County on Nov. 23, 1900 and Anton left everything he owned, which was the land, to his "beloved wife, Maria Imholte".
