Engel was only 30 when she died. Then Friedrich married Wilhelmine Golderman Ritter and in 1882, most of the family immigrated to the United States from Hanover, Germany. From a German death record, it shows Engel Wilhelmina Dorothea Ritter Buesig was 30 when she died on Sept. 18, 1865 in Hannover, Germany. She was buried on Sept. 21, 1865. She was married to a Friedrich Buesig and her father was Christoph Ritter and her mother was Anna Engel Scheibe. After searching the http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de/ site for "Büsig" I found the following record of an emmigration. It appears Lena emigrated to America in 1882 when she was 17 years old. 1. Büsig, Lina, Laatzen 2. 20. 10. 1866, Hannover 3. Dienstmagd 5. in Hannover lebende Eltern 7. Amerika 8.! 1882 translated: 1. Büsig, Lina, Laatzen 2. 20. 10. 1866, Hannover 3. Maid 5. Parents live in Hannover 7. America 8. 1882 ----- The parents of Charlotte "Lottie" Buesig Grummert are Friedrich Buesig (Büsig) 1829 -1900 and Wilhelmine Golderman Ritter 1836-1905. They emigrated on October 7, 1882. - From granddaughter Evelyn Grummert Jordening ----- Evelyn Jordening said, regarding a possible relationship between the Buesig sisters and Charles W. Busig : "Charlotte Buesig was my grandmother, Mrs. Herman Grummert and her sister Lena Buesig married Ernst H. Grummert--the men were brothers. The other siblings were Henry, Anna, Frederick, Wilhelmina (Mrs. Carl Tinnapple), Mary (Mrs. Henry Schroeder), Louise (Mrs. Christ Pollock), Dorothea (Mrs. Arthur Messall) and August. I haven't been able to find the connection of relationship. The passenger list I have lists only five daughters, Charlotte 8 (my grandmother), Dora 10, Lena 16, Maria 13, Maria 18 (this is Minnie, Mrs. Tinnappel! ) and one son August. Lena, Mary, Dora, Charlotte and August are child ren of Fred and Wilhelmine. Fred had 4 children from his first marriage, Heinrich, Anna, Fred A. and Minnie. Wilhelmine's daughter is Louise Ritter . Henry and Anna never came to this country. The family first settled at Bathlett, Illinios for a few years before coming to Kansas. Louise Ritter Buesig came with her husband Christ Pollock." ----- Friedrich Buesig is buried in the Hanover City Cemetery, Washington County, Kansas - from Washington County KSArchives - Hanover City Cemetery in Hanover, Kansas: BISIG Friedrich Nov 30,1829-May 8,1900 Family links: Spouses: Engel Wilhelmina Dorothea Ritter Buesig (1835 - 1865) Wilhelmine Golderman Ritter Buesig (1836 - 1905)* Children: Heinrich Buesig* Anna Buesig* Frederick A.
