We've Been On Vacation....


Sorry for not posting in a while, we just got home from vacation. I'll get back in the groove by the first part of next week.
While we were away, we discovered that caramel dip from Sam's & WalMart. Mrs. M-something.
Well, it needs to come with a warning: "Beware! Can become habit-forming."
Do any of you Glaubitz's descendants grow apples?
Does anyone else like caramel?
We've tried, but the tree died after four years.
I'd appreciate any advice.

Agusta (Gusta) Glaubitz Paulsen


On the back of this picture is written by old handwriting, "Miss Gusta Glaubitz. Taken in her ever day work apron. Taken June 24, 1919. Age 19 and 11 months."
Apparently born July 1899.
We don't know if this was taken in Iowa where she and Axel lived.
Any information would be helpful.

Below is her husband, Axel Paulsen.The date on the back of this photo is 1919-1920.

Freda or Rita Hayworth?






















This is Freda Glaubitz Baker.
Doesn't she reminds you of a movie star from the golden era?
Her father was Emanuel Glaubitz.
Freda did modeling for Litchenstiens in Corpus Christi.
She did this to get a discount on her clothes. Smart gal.
I would be happy to post more photos of the other branches/brother's family. Just send them via email or leave a comment with your email and we'll upload and post them.

Ship S.S. Darmstadt














This is a photo of the ship S.S. Darmstadt that Louise made her voyage to America on. It was built by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Glasgow, Scotland. It was built in 1890 and weighed 5,012 tons. It was 413 feet long and 48 feet wide.

It was a steam triple expansion engine with a single crew.
It could hold 1991 passengers -- 49 first class, 38 second class and 1904 in third class.
The ship was sold to Turkish owners in 1911 and renamed Kara Beniz. It was scrapped in 1923.

Louise Klebe

Emanuel married Louise Pauline Christine Klebe May 4, 1893 in Willow Springs, Missouri.
Name: Louisa C. on her tombstone. In her funeral book it is written Louisa Carolyn.
Birth: January 1, 1867 in the province of Brandenburg, the city of Zuellichau, Germany. It is now Sulechow, Poland due to the merge of Prussia by the Nazis.
Faith: According to her funeral book, she was baptized in the Lutheran faith in Germany and was confirmed by Pastor Eddingburgh when she was fourteen.
Immigration: Arrived in America April 5, 1893 from Berlin on the ship, S.S. Darmstadt which departed from Bremen, Germany March 23, 1893. Port of departure was Baltimore. She was 26.
The Voyage: Her manifest line number was 0721. The ship had 73 adult passengers, 36 children passengers and 8 infant passengers. On the ship captain's document, it show Louise's destination to be the state of Ohio. She went to Willow Springs - Howell County - Missouri. We assume to meet Emanuel.
Citizenship: Her funeral book says she became a citizen. Is there documentation?
Family: We have several photos of her family dating up to 1935, but they spoke and wrote in Suetterlin; a German which was taught in the public schools between 1865 and 1917. Some family called it High German, but all of the photos we have from the Klebe's are definitely in Suetterlin, which is more difficult to read.
We are told she had an older sister who was married to Dr. Kaarl Shober, a surgeon in Germany. We have at least one post card to a Shober.
She also had a younger sister, Bertha who was born in 1878.
She had a brother Armin Klebe. The name, Armin is a very uncommon name. It is a variant of Herman and means "soldier."
Her parents were Carl or Karl and Pauline Klebe of Germany.
Death: Louisa died in her home September 4, 1954 at the age of 86.
She is buried at White Oak, where her funeral was held, though the church is no longer there.
Pallbearers were listed as Guy Rose, Eldred Glaubitz, George Glaubitz, Hansel Williams, Ed Glaubitz and Jess Willis.
