Interesting that a George Maute stood up for Sarah and John. George Maute was the name of louisa R. Maute Sager Horning's father. These families are either related in some way, or were close friends that came over from Germany together and settled near each other. As in many cases, their families inter-married over time. I will check and see what I can uncover about your John, if I infact do have anything on him in my files. Interesting! The population of Grass Lake never exceded 1000 souls. Mostly German. Seemed to be a close knit group of farmers, most were farmers. If you learn anything, I would be glad to hear from you and share what I have. Is this Jacob Horning line, yours? Joan
