You could see for miles from the top of the Hill.My family full of St. Donatus descendents - some of my families are: Seyler, Bonifas, Engel, Arensdorff, Kalmes, Homan, Streff, Schommers, Wilmes and others. I had a friend from Grand Island, Nebraska who ancester were Lutherans and ran the mill there - the name was Glade - and we did a lot of research together. I have pictures of Dominick Arensdorf's grave and if you don't have it and are interested, I will be happy to send you a picture. A family store was that our Wilmes ancestors were stone masons and helped to carve the alter int he church in St. Donatus. The church burned ownce, and in the back the grave stones have blackened from the fire and smoke. someone who was reasearching Arensdorff stopped at my house in Grand Island several years ago and we traded information - my of my relatives lived or moved to near North Platte and sutherland. My mother was born in Otis, Colorado, but moved backed to Sutherland - her grandfather Peter Seyler worked ont he railroad and lived with them. Mother started to school there. Her name was Marcelline Wilmes. Please stay in touch as I fell we can help each other - thanks for the i! nformation on St. Donatus. Sahron

I can never seem to find others who have this name and there just are no references on any of the ancestry boards. Anyway I am the grandaughter of Francis William Arensdorf who lived in Roseland and then moved to Lincoln County NE which is western NE around North Platte. There are many Arensdorf kin in that area. Thought you might like the following post that I saved. We have seen specific ways in which the metaculture of Luxembourg is reflected in the metaculture of Luxembourger settlement sites in Minnesota. Now we will turn our attention to the best-known Luxembourgish settlement in Iowa. St. Donatus, the first Luxembourger immigrant settlement west of the Mississippi, is located along the shores of the river, just a dozen miles south of Dubuque, Iowa. Ironically, until recent years, St. Donatus was mistakenly referred to as a "historic French settlement," most likely because its original name was Tetes des Morts, a name, legend has it, that was given to it by French missionary Father Louis Hennepin. Legend also has it that the origin of the name lies in a battle fought on the banks of a nearby stream: Father Louis Hennepin, according to tradition, is said to have placed the name Tetes des Morts on the map to perpetuate the legend of the battle fought on the banks of that stream. On a certain hill near the present site of St. Donatus, a battle was fought by the Winnebagoes, the Sauk and the Foxes with their old enemy, the Sioux. The Sioux were victorious and drove their enemies over a cliff into the river below. On hearing this legend, Father Hennepin called the place "Tetes des Morts" (Hills, 79). The first Luxembourgers, the John B. Noel family, arrived in the area in 1838 after spending some time in the eastern part of the United States (History of Dubuque County, 712). Crossing the Mississippi River could be very dangerous, especially when, as Gonner notes, early icing could cause shipwrecks (51). According to his account, in December 1846, ships coming up the river from New Orleans had great difficulty, and "several thousand immigrants were stranded in Cairo, Illinois, with no money. Helpless, they suffered greatly. Many died from dysentery" (51). A group of immigrants from Luxembourg fared better earlier that year, arriving safely in the Dubuque area and continuing south to Tetes des Morts. Among this group were Peter Gehlen, Charles Hoffman, Nic and John Streff, and John and Adam Tritz, all from the Olm and Kehlen, Luxembourg, area. The following year, 1847, they were joined by a larger group of Luxembourger families from the Feulen and Merzig areas, among them Peter Siren, John Freiman, Henry Anen, Adam Braun, Pete Theisen, and one of my maternal great-great-grandfathers, Nicholas Nemmers (Tritz, 26). The immigrants' Catholic heritage was central to their lives and, in 1848, a log cabin church was built and a Catholic parish formed. It was given the name, St. Donatus Parish, and was "dedicated to St. Donatus, patron and protector against storms, July 4, 1851" (Krull, 2).

Sharon, I have two different Meyer lines in Jackson county, Iowa. One Henry Meyer settled around Springbrook, the other Henry Meyer settled in St. Donatus then LaMott.

Thank you for the information. I think that Berti listed in the 1880 census with the family was a granddaughter not a niece.

Would someone mind looking up the marriage of Martha Scully? She married before 1880 in Jackson County. The family lived in Maquoketa. Martha's brother Edmund married in Monmouth and it is possible that she did too. She would have married in the late 1870's. Thank you. Hazel
