Apparently, they had at least one more child, Carrie Bell, upon arrival in Chicago, Cook Co., IL and before they went to Clinton, Henry Co., MO. Many of this Eberting family are interred at Englewood Cemetery, Clinton, Henry Co., MO and other surrounding cemeteries in Henry Co., MO. On board that same ship was Catherine Eulert Hobein, Catherine's mother, who remained in Chicago until her death in 1869. Catherine's mother is buried in the Hobein family burial plot at Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago. Catherine's younger brother Heinrich (Henry) Hobein was born in 1835 and arrived Chicago, Cook Co., IL of the USA in 1858 preceeding his sister Catherine. Johann Georg (John George) Eberting born September 3, 1818, Germany, was married April 11, 1858 to Catherine Ho(h)bein. A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF THE EBERTING FAMILY compiled by Della Maye Fowler states she received Marriage and Death certificates from the Archives in Hamburg, Germany for Johann Jost born June 24, 1810, was married to Anne Helene Roskam and died April 24, 1874. This was evidently John's older brother. His parents are below. In addition, there is a Eberting family listed in the 1870 Chicago census 8th ward. This is the family of Christoph and Gertrud Eberting. He looks about the right age for Christoph to be a brother to Johann Georg (John George), but of course, that is only conjecture. Johann Georg (John George) Eberting was the son of a linen weaver, Christoph Eberting & Eva Elisabeth Soeder. Catherine Ho(h)bein born February 15, 1828, Werkel, Kreis Fritzlar, Hessen-Kassel, Germany, baptised February 17, 1828 in Werkel. Her Baptismal sponsor was her father's sister, also named Catherine. Church records show Catherine's parents, Johann Henrich Ho(h)bein, a linen weaver, born January 10, 1797 in Werkel, died March 31, 1853 in Werkel. He married Catherina Elisabeth Eulert on June 26, 1825. She was born in the nearby town of Deute around 1800 and the marriage took place in another nearby town of Harle. After marriage, this couple resided in Werkel where all of their children were born and baptised. They had 2 children who died in infancy and 5 who lived to adulthood. Two of the daughters that lived were given the same name....this has not yet been expained. Our ancestress Catherine Ho(h)bein, thus far without a middle name, was the oldest of the children who lived. Family tradition is that in the fall of 1869 when the family started for Missouri, the team of horses ran away, and John George Eberting was killed October 9, 1869. He was buried along side the road where he was killed in Cook Co., IL. Catherine Ho(h)bein was an important and key ancestress in our family history. She must of been a very brave and unusual woman. Catherine remarried John Boettcher. She died February 9, 1908. Their bodies were interred at the Tebo Baptist Church Cemetery, Est. 1840, 37 SE Hwy PP, Clinton, Henry Co., MO. >From Clinton, Missouri, drive east on state highway 7 until you reach Tightwad. Turn north on road PP, 2 1/2 miles to Leesville, and another half mile to the Tebo Baptist Church, which was built on this location from it's origonal location on the Briggs homestead when Truman Lake was created, on land donated by Jennie (Briggs) Sheek.
