Notes: At the time of the June 9, 1870 federal census, Blasious was 7 years old and living with his parents and 7 siblings in St. George, Benton County,
  Minnesota. He was atending school at the time. His father was working as a farmer on a farm which was assessed at $1,200. The value of his personal estate was $300. He stated he was born in Prussia as was his wife, but Blasious was born in Minnesota.
 
At the time of the 1880 census, Blasious was 18 years old and living with his parents and 8 siblings on the family farm in St. George, Benton County, Minnesota. Brothers Jacob and John worked with him and their father as farm laborers. [Source: NA Film No. T9-0615, p. 170D].
 
(Sharon Abfalter Schroeder's memories of her great-grandparents, 1964): "Blasious and Anna were married November 25, 1889. They lived on 16th Avenue North in St. Cloud for three years. Blasious Abfalter worked for the railroad during this time. Then they purchased 80 acres of farm land near Duelm where they lived until Blasious' death in 1925. He cleared the land for his farm, and did carpentry work, etc. with his sons, Clarence and Louie Abfalter. They worked about central Minnesota and built some barns in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

"After Blasious' death Anna Abfalter worked for a number of years as a housekeeper for a priest in New Munich. The last years of her life were spent in St. Raphael's Home in St. Cloud, Minnesota. She enjoyed knitting and doing fancy work to keep her busy in her spare time.

"Blasious Abfalter passed away on October 13, 1925, at the age of 64 and is buried at Duelm, Minnesota. Anna (Kampa) Abfalter passed away on August 15, 1953, at the age of 81 years and is also buried at Duelm Cemetery."
