Hi Art, U r in luck, for i have them in my database*, I have a marriage as follows: Koenig, Peter ~ Leischner, Karoline 4 Jan 1863 Tarutino < Kirchspiel > and recently have added the Kulm book info; here comes: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KOENIG, PETER & CARRIE (Leischner) { Kulm 1892-1957 History Book; #143 } Peter Koenig was born near Odessa, Russia, in 1845. He married Carrie Leischner in Russia. Their family included the following children: Mary, Amelia, Alfred, Otto, William, Rudolph, Arthur and John. They came to this country in the summer of 1886, and settled soon afterwards in Kulm, N.D., where Mr. Koenig taught music and did private tutoring in the German language. He was well educated and in Russia was a professor in city schools. He was a member of the Lutheran Church and active in church affairs. The family later moved to a farm north of Lehr. The postoffice, later discontinued, bore the name of King, having been named after Mr. Koenig. He died in April of 1909, his wife died in January of 1905. Their youngest son Johnny, worked in Kulm for a period of time, setting type for the Kulm Messenger and also worked in the Drug Store. He moved to the King settlement** also, where he died in January of 1931. Mrs. Rose Koenig, widow of Johnny, now resides in Kulm. Grandchildren of Peter Koenig new living in this vicinity are: Art Koenig, Bismarck; John Koenig, Beulah; Mrs. Gust Fiechtner, Lehr; Mrs. William Remien, Kulm; Mrs. Henry Gackle, Kulm; Edwin Koenig, Kulm and Lawrence Koenig, Kulm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Which names are U interested in Art < Koenig | Leischner ? > ? * i have a different date though for Peter's b'date; would be very interested in comparing notes! There is also another researcher who is interested in these folks i think, as some ended up in LEHR... I have CC-ed her < Kathy Clark > . I believe that Johnny who is mentioned above died in LEHR as well... I believe he was married to Rose nee ESSIG... and have information for them as well... <Will make separate posts for that!> ** is 12 miles NE of Lehr. Hope this helps... ;j. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 12:29 PM Subject: Re: [GERmanRUSsian] KULM history index.... part 3/4: K-N What do you have on #143 Koenig, Peter & Carrie (Leischner) ?
