migrated to the U.S with his mother and sister.  He first settled near Winona City, then moved to
Rochester, Minn. where he met Christina Schiltz Stelgelham (???) whom
he married in 1879.  When he wished for a home of his own, he moved to or near
Tyler, Minn., where he lived for two years.  He then moved to Pipestone,
Minn. where he filed for a homestead.  Here their three sons John, Conrad,
and Henry jr. were born.  Because of severe wind and hail storms in
westen Minnesota, he moved with his family in 1894 to a farm two miles
south of Pemberton, Minn. His mother, who was living with him, had died in January of 1894 before the move to Pemberton.    His sons married and he turned the home farm over to Conrad, who soon purchased it.  Conrad said:  Henry came to the
U.S. when he was about 12.  He never mentioned his father but spokeabout his uncle who was a shipbuilder or in charge of shipping.  Young Henry slept in the sails sometimes.  They traveled to London to the shipyards apparently, before sailing for the U.S. and arriving in NYC June 1967
