His name was John J Neuhaus (Newhouse) on anything that I have seen. I was told that he may have come to the states as Johan Ignatius Niehaus, or maybe VonNiehaus. He is a brick wall for me. One person answered and said that maybe it was a band uniform, and not army. I just don't know.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa Feb. 7, 1872 The Courts. District Court. State vs. Prage, charged with malicious mischief. Defendant failed to put in an appearance; default takes and bail forfeited. State vs. Foy, charged with resisting an officer. It appearing that no arrest had been made, the case was stricken from the docket of this term. State vs. Ruge: assault with intent to commit great bodily injury; the defendant having whipped a neighboring woman and her little girl, on account of the little girl having struck defendant's little boy. Rue being called in open court, was not in hearing distance, and was defaulted accordingly and his bond of $200 for appearance declared to be forfeited. State vs. Delaney; charged with murderous assault upon Dr. Lyon, who came near losing his life at defendant's hands; motion for continuance on account of illness of his Attrorney, Judge Murphy; also for the further reason that he expects to prove by high authorities and other evidence that he himself, was working under a spell of insanity when he so fiendishly stabbed Dr. Lyon. The motion was sustained, and the trial of the case is put over till the May term, when we shall see how much there is in the plea of insanity. State vs. Gustave and Anna Priester, charged with keeping house of ill-fame; motion for continuance overruled. State vs. Rogers; charged with forcibly ejecting one Schmink from a street car, of which he was driven. It appears from testimony that the man Schmink with several others were boisterous and unmindful of the rules of the line; that they were frequently reminded of it by the driver; and that finally there was a sort of matinee down on the corner of Western Avenue and Third; the Schmink party would go on further, but he made a fuss about paying; the driver ordered them out; Schmink was opposed to the order; driver procured a pebble from the gutter about the same way that David got his pebbles from the brook, when he went forth to fight Goliath; and in the melee smote Schmink on his forehead about where Goliath got hit-at all events S. left the car with an awning over his eyes, as it were, and the car went on. Trial by jury. Ellis for State; Foster and Hubbell for defendant. State vs. Lyon; for resisting an officer. Defaulted, and recognizance forfeited.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa Feb. 5, 1872 The Courts. District Court- Criminal Docket comes first for trial this term. There are twenty-two cases, none of which can be said to have any great public interest. State vs. White, for seduction; prosecuting witness having previously secured a pretty heavy verdict in money at civil suit, this criminal action was dismissed at defendant's cost. State vs. Koehler; assault with intent to commit great bodily injury. William Lorenz, the prosecuting witness invited defendant out to fight; a fair knock down under the rules of the P.R. Defendant was too much for Billy, and knives were produced; some little blood was shed, and the defeated pugilist brought suit. Plea of guilty; $20 and costs. State vs. Devore, the defendant charged with stealing a watch from J.J. Kane on trial by jury this afternoon. Ellis for State; Foster & Gabbert for defendant. Feb. 6, 1872 OLCUTT'S ARREST Rumored Arrest- Justice Thorington informs us that he learns that a telegram was received in the city to-day from Toledo, announcing the arrest of Olcutt and paramour, the supposed murderer of Ehrig, and that they were already being brought to this place. THE COURTS District Court- Case of State vs Devore, larceny of watch alleged to have been stolen from Kane's saloon in this city. No evidence appearing to corroborate the charge, the jury returning a verdict of "not guilty" without leaving their seats. State vs Thomas Atkinson; defendant having to into a spree with several others out on the Wapsie, last fall, made some mischief; afterwards went before a Justice, plead guilty and was fined. An aggrieved party had him arrested upon the same charge whereof he had already accused himself, and being brought before a Justice of this city was again fined- $10 and costs. On ground of previous adjudication, defendant appealed to Judge Richman's court, which sustained the findings of the inferior court, but it coming to the attention of the judge that the defendant had recently suffered serious loss by fire, rendering money very scarce with him, the fine was reduced to the nominal sum of $1. Ellis for State; J.W. Thompson for defendant. J.J. Andrews, law student from Lyons, appeared, and on motion of L.A. Ells, Esq., was turned over to Herman Block, and H.M. Martin, Esqs. to show cause why he should be admitted to practice in the District Court of the State. He was accordingly investigated, and it appearing to the satisfaction of eh committee that he had a good case, he admitted, accordingly, Mr. Andrews goes immediately to the southwestern part of the State, where lawyers are scarce and clients numerous, where he will hang out his sign. May he prosper according to his merits. Kober vs. Littler; for foreclosure; default taken. State vs. Schroeder & Heuer; defendants charged with buying property which they knew to be stolen-otherwise that they were on the "fence." It appears that a pair of worthless also residents of this city did steal-at least they have been found guilty of taking without leave-certain copper fixtures appertaining to a defunct distillery of one G.W. Haun, of the city of Lyons; that they bought the plunder to Davenport in a skiff, which they likewise appropriated to their own use, without the owner's consent; that they got a dray and took it to the store of defendants, who deal in rags and old junk generally, and sold it to them at regular trade prices; that some weeks thereafter the defendants shipped the copper to Chicago, where they had sold it. A few days after the shipments, Mr. Haun appeared at defendant's store, and not obtaining from them such information as was deemed perfectly satisfactory, brought suit against them. The defendants had been ready for trial several times, but had not been able to get it, so when the case was called in its order yesterday morning, and the persecuting witness failed to appear, as he had repeatedly done, the Court announced, that unless he did so appear to morrow (this) morning, the case would be disposed of. On opening the Court this morning Mr. Haun not having appeared, the case was dismissed, and the defendants and their witnesses departed in peace, Ellis, for State; Bills & Block for the defendants. State vs. Robert Melzer, Jonathan and Herman Day; action for maliciously burning straw, contrary to special statutes. It appears that Michael O'Dea, a Hickory Grove farmer, had a tract of 120 acres rented of Kent & Goldsbury, as agents; that O'Dea had sub-leased 40 acres to Day, one of the defendants (the other being his son's) for an advance price. As the O'Dea lease had nearly expired, Kent and Goldsbury informed defendant that he might as well take a lease from them at the price paid by O'Dea, and save the advance price, which he did. It also appears that during the last year of his lease O'Dea had left on some wheat land, scattered about, a quantity of straw, which was in the way of defendants when they came to plow. This they burned up, to get rid of. Hence the action. The other side claim that the straw was valuable; that it was about to be taken away, and that it was burned maliciously in the violation of a plain statute. Treat by jury. Taking testimony occupied but a short time, after which the jury promptly returned a verdict of "not guilty." It was one of those miserable sort of cases that rarely ever miss getting into Court when originally falling into the hands of a professional grand jury. Ellis for state; J.T. Lane for defense. State vs. Schwartz; dicharged on $1 fine and costs. State vs. Smith; larceny of watch; plea of guilty; sentence reserved. Ellis for State; Foster and Gabbert for defendant. State vs. Mary Heffron; assault with intent to commit injury; plea of guilty; sentence reserved.

The Hawk-Eye Burlington, Des Moines co. Iowa June 11, 1874 THE STATE Friday afternoon, Willie Orndorf, a Davenport boy, was playing with a revolver, as is the custom in those families where a famine of brains is hereditary, and the bullet saved the doctor some trouble in searching therefore by going clear through the boy's thigh. At Davenport, Wednesday forenoon, one of Bassit & Schafer's grindstones, weighing three thousand pounds, flew into several thousand pieces while in motion. The accident was caused by the sudden increase of speed in the machinery. Fortunately for the grinder, he had just left his station and gone to another part of the room, or instant death would have been the result. Mary Hayes, of Davenport, has sued five saloon keepers for $10,000, for selling whisky to her husband. ---- submitted by Sharyl Ferrall co-host Iowa Old Press http://www.IowaOldPress.com/

Kane; fined $3 and costs, which he promises to pay. Feb. 5, 1872 THE EHRIG MURDER On the morning of Oct. 7th, 1869, the dead body of F.W. Ehrig was found in the cistern, rear of St. Anthony's Church. Great excitement prevailed,- everybody wondering how he came there. He had been seen late the previous evening, and was in sound mind, and not under any intoxicating influence. There was a strong suspicion of foul play, and the matter was placed in competent hands to be worked up. The city offered a reward of $1,000, and the Odd Fellows, of whom membership he was, offered an additional $500 for detection and conviction of his murderer. By many persons it was thought he was intoxicated, perhaps, and accidentally got into the well while under temporary inebriety; and so the matter has been resting for over two years. Meantime, however, detectives have had the matter in hand, and the supposition now is that the murderers have been identified. The following, and other similar letters, have been received by the authorities here: POLICE COURT, CLERK'S OFFICE, TOLEDO, OHIO, Feb. 2, '72. Sheriff, Scott Iowa: DEAR SIR: please inform me if within about two years ago, a man by the name of Erich (Ehrig) was murdered in Davenport and thrown into a well. If so, please give me the particulars as far as you know; what was the motive and whether any suspicion rests on some person? what is the ground of suspicion? have you found near the place where the murder was committed, a broken cane or part of one. State whether a reward for the arrest and conviction, or information which will lead to the arrest of the murderer and his conviction has been offered; what amount has been offered; if you have any handbills, offering a reward in your possession, or can procure one, please forward it to my address, and oblige your obedient servant, HENRY STRECKER, Sergeant of Police It appears that at the time of the supposed murder, there was a printer by the name of James Olcutt, working in the Gazette Office in this city. He had with him in his rooms in Wupperman's Block, a woman who went as his wife. By some she was regarded as a woman of doubtful virtue. Olcutt had a suspicion that there was something wrong in his domicile, and on the night of the 5th of October, it is said the deceased was assailed by Olcutt in his room, or in the hall leading thereto; that a scuffle ensued, and that Ehrig was pitched backward down the back stairs that he was stunned by the fall; that he was supposed to be dead; was taken up by the man Olcutt and wife, and carried across Fifth street, where they broke off some fence palings, and took the body into the Catholic church lot, and put it into the cistern where it was found. The falling backwards down stairs is corroborated by the contusion, which, it will be remembered, was noticible on the back of the victim's head after taken out. It will also be remembered that the doctors pronounced the body alive when he got into the cistern, there being water in the lungs, and that this gave strength to the theory that he fell in; but it is now used to strengthen the theory that the blow did not kill, but stunned him; and that in this state he was drowned by Olcutt and wife. The upshot of the whole matter probably is, at least it it the theory, that Olcutt and his paramour who left here some little time after the occurrence, have fallen out, and that the police of Toledo, where they live, have got a clue to the affair; hence the above letter to sheriff Leonard. There seems to be but little doubt among those who worked at the case that Ehrig came to his death in a similar manner to that above stated. Olcutt was a Moline boy; learned his trade on the Rock Island Union; had been here a year or so when this tragedy transpired; was suspicioned by his fellow workmen of having had something to do with Ehrig's disappearance. In a few days there will probably be further developments; and it is probable that all the particulars are already under arrest.

This spelling was also used on the gravemarker put up for service in the Civil War by Julius. They most commonly used the spelling Rostenbach when they came to the US, however my father pronounced his name without saying the T. I have the Civil War documentation for Julius; they claim his death on 21 May 1911 was related to sun strokes suffered during the Civil War. His name at christening was Heinrich Julius Christian August Rustenbach on 18 Aug 1825 in Wolfenbuettel, Braunschweig, Germany. He was a cabinet maker and made beautiful cherry-wood furniture. He married Wilhelmine Kaufman on 3 Mar 1851. They came to the US in 1854 and had a son Herman born in IN on their way to Iowa. The 1900 census said they had 13 children, but only 8 were still living. I haven't worked on this for years, but need to get back to it. My line goes through Gustav. I live in Utah and will try to get to the library in SLC this week.

Surnames: Dozier, Teegerstrom/Tigerstrom Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Yl.2ADE/2370.1.1.1.3.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks for the response Sherry. My interest is in a daughter of Julius and Wilhelmina, by name of Alvina and born about 1871. I have been able to track the Rosenbach family in the census pages up thru 1920. Alvina, daughter of Julius married my great uncle Louis Teegerstrom/Tigerstrom in 1893. Apparently they were divorced by 1900. Louis T. was killed in 1911 and obit indicated Alvina was dead but there was a daughter about age 18 living at a school in Omaha. I have looked for a trail to that daughter for many years, to no avail! Have often wondered if she was in an institution of some kind and have contacted several in Omaha without finding her. Have no idea of her first name and suppose it is possible her last name was changed and maybe even her first name. I think I have found Alvina in a 1900 Census of Sioux City and am dead-locked there. I have talked by phone to a couple of Rostenbachs, but found nothing about the daughter Alvina. Would appreciate anything you might have inre Alvina. You are welcome to contact me directly at my e-mail address. Best Regards, Harold Dozier
