IMMIGRANTS - The ship New England, Capt. Orr, arrived this morning from Bremerhaven, with immigrants. She left that port on the 31st of October, and has therefore been 57 days out. She had on board 500 passengers at leaving, but lost 70 of them on the passage from disease. It is stated, however, that she has now not a single case of sickness on board, and is perfectly clean. She lies anchored off Slaughterhouse Point News story from "The Daily Picayune," New Orleans, Louisiana, Wednesday morning, January 4, 1854, Vol. XVII, page 3, "The City" column. U. S. District Court. - Judge McCaleb. - Peter Kernan and others vs. Ship New England. Twenty one German emigrants, just arrived in this port yesterday, libeled the ship New England, Orr master, claiming for themselves, wives and children $500 damages to each. They allege that in October last they engaged for themselves and families steerage passage in the ship New England, from the port of Bremerhaven, Germany to New Orleans on certain terms and conditions, which they set forth, relative to the quantity of fresh water, bread, meat, &c. to be furnished per day or week for the voyage, which conditions they aver were grossly violated. They say that they and their families suffered great want, hunger, thirst and starvation during the voyage, to the great detriment of their health, deprivation of their comfort and danger of their lives. LETTERS CONCERNING THE SHIP NEW ENGLAND'S JOURNEY TO AMERICA St Louis, 13th March 1854 My dear parents, ... Dear parents, as you know, we sailed from Bremerhaven on 30th October ... on the 4th day we received our rations, but very little; each got 5-6 spoonfuls to eat, in the mornings we got a cup of coffee, in the evenings a cup of tea between three, 8 lbs of bread were for four men for a whole week! ... on the 12th L. Dreseler died ... Mrs Hagemann and two of her children also died, Fritz Eversmeyer too; by the 16th there were already 65 dead. ... We did not sail through the Channel, but around England. We also saw some huge fish, which must have weighed 5- 600 pounds, and mermaids, which were like humans, and flying fish and several animals which are unknown to us. ... Alone on our ship 108 people died; if we had not received drinking water at all, then we could all have died. ... We had scarcely been there [New Orleans] a quarter of an hour when the German Association came and asked about our treatment. We took no pains to spare the robbers and recounted every detail, so that they were all arrested and the ship seized. The ship's carpenter was taken prisoner, and the captain had to put up 70000 talers (dollars?) as security; the hearing is not yet finished. ... I must also tell you that much money is to be earned here: a strong man can earn $2.50. I should wish no man a journey such as we had, first on the sea such bad treatment and a voyage of 8 weeks, then 7 weeks on the Mississippi ... Carl Sieveking, St. Louis. Capa Giradau, 22nd Feb. 1854 The love of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all - Dear parents and relatives, We can imagine that you must sorely miss us. Praised be the Lord that we have got this far: first of all dear parents, I must inform you that we were at sea for 8 weeks and on the Mississippi for 6, making 14 weeks on the water. Now we must first describe to you the voyage from Bremerhaven to New Orleans. We left Bremerhaven at 8 a.m. on Sunday, [30th] October. There were 465 passengers on our ship. ... Now I must tell you of our treatment, which you may believe was also good, but it was quite the opposite. ... Regarding food we received nothing the first day, the second day some meat, 4 oz, but it was inedible. From the third day on we got at ten a.m. every morning a tin cup of coffee between four; at home I measured it, it was about one and a half of your small drinking cups. Dinner was usually at 4 or 5 in the afternoon, then we got a saucepan lid full of stew, again between four, we could hardly see it. ... We got no water to drink for the first three weeks, getting our first drink of water after three weeks, though we should have had it every day ... the ship's carpenter, a disgusting fellow, with a heart of stone, who shared out all the food. In the last week we had 90 barrels of water in the hold, and yet when a sick woman who was dying, asked him for a drink of water, he opened his trousers and was going to ... yes, he hurt people most cruelly. Now, dear parents, this is enough. I could fill a book with this terrible treatment. But the results I can tell you, that of the 110 dead on our ship most died of thirst. And now dear parents I must tell you the sad news that my sister Wischen also died, at 8.30 p.m. on 12th November. She suffered terribly. She never saw America, perhaps to her own good. ... Mrs Hagemann died on the 15th November, her son on the 21st, as did Fritz Kulmann. ... When we arrived in New Orleans we went straight to the German Society and brought charges against the captain and the whole crew, and they were immediately arrested. The captain had to leave a large sum of money as a caution, otherwise he too would have had to go to jail; the ship has been seized and will probably be sold. ... I don't discourage anyone from going to America, but neither would I encourage anyone. ... August Dreseler Children of FRIDERICH GOTTLOB and FREDERICKA DITZ are: 22. i.

He used to work unloading railroad cars at the Illmo-Fornfelt Railroad station. He had a hernia which disabled him from working. He was born and raised in Alton Illinois. He and grandma lived in Alton after they were first married. They were listed in the Alton City Directory at one point. He was at one time a member of the Alton St. Joseph's Parish. He at one time worked for the Illinois Glass Works. I was told that while living in East St. Louis he was mugged (beaten) and his money stolen one payday after work. He supposedly suffered a head injury in the attack and was never the same. The family was reportedly struggling to make ends meet in E. St. Louis and he moved to Illmo at the insistence of his older sister Rikki Boss. She and her husband helped him out for a while after the move. More About JOSEPH HENRY GOTTLOB: Burial: Lightner Cmtry, Illmo, Scott Co., Missouri Notes for JESSIE IDAFFE MAYFIELD: "Grandma Gottlob" was a very active and healthy woman into her late 70's when a sudden illness killed her. Here are some of the things I remember about grandma. Her coconut cake, the days she would go out "pickin cotton", her flowers-she was it seemed always planting and tending to them, her stops by our house on Saturday mornings-we would all sit around the kitchen table and eating breakfast pastries or cinnamon rolls, our trips with her to Alto Pass, Il, where she grew up, her habit of listening to country music and Garner Ted Armstrong on the radio, and "The Edge of Night", "Gunsmoke, and Lawrence Welk on television, her stories of growing up in Alto Pass and mention of relatives in Piggott, Arkansas. Her many little sayings/rhymes/etc. One rhyme was "monkey monkey sitting on a rail picking his teeth with the end of his tail, mulberry leaves, calico sleeves all school teachers are hard to please". That one she said got her in trouble when a child herself in school. I remember grandma going to church with our family every Sunday and Sunday night. She always sat in the same pew (about 4 or 5 rows back on the left side of the church (Scott City Assembly of God). I remember how we used to tease her about getting another husband. She would defiantly say that she would never have another man. That one was more than enough. I remember how grandma up until her death would walk across town to Chitty's grocery store several times a week. I remember when she got all of her teeth pulled and her false teeth. I remember how she used to make blackberry cobbler after Uncle Roy had collected berries from the woods. More About JESSIE IDAFFE MAYFIELD: Burial: Lightner Cmtry, Illmo, Scott, Missouri ix.
