Wilhelm (1831)& Wilhelmina (1828,Uecker) Klug of Prussia

Welcome to the WILHELM KLUG of Prussia Homepage! I am in desparate need of information pertaining to the KLUG's that came over on the "Marion" in 1857 from Prussia. I have traced back on my fathers, mothers, fathers side all the way back to 1650, I would love to be able to do the same with the surname to which I was born.

I have some very old photos and am willing to trade copies of them with anyone who may have additional photos of our ancestors.

Wilhelm and Wilhelmina Klug, along with her mother, Fredricka Uecker, came over from Germany in 1857, while on the ocean their first child was born, a daughter, Mary. They settled in Wisconsin where they had four more children, Fredrick (my great-grandfather)1858, Berta in 1860, August in 1862 and Augusta in 1865.

They moved to the Elkhorn River Valley area, Wayne County, where they had two more sons, Henry in 1867 and William in 1870.

My great-grandfather, Fredrick Klug, married a woman named Mary Heckman in 1882 in Norfolk, Nebraska, they had 8 children, Ralphus Gustav in 1883, Louis Heinrich in 1884, Ottilie Emilie in 1885, Robert in 1887, Minnie Dorthea in 1889, Arthur (Otto) in 1890 and Althea (Eltie) Doretta in 1893 an Anhold (Harold) Reinhold in 1896. Mary died in 1896, two short weeks after giving birth to Harold. Baby Harold died later that year at nine months of age. Fred then married the house servant, Emilie Auguste Klawitter, in 1897. They had four children, Herman in 1901, Herbert Fredrick in 1903 (my grandfather), Fredrick in 1908 (I know he married a woman named Marie) and Gertrude in 1909.

I am also looking for additional information on Emilie Klawitter, born 18 FEB 1880 in Germany. I have her original confirmation paper from the Lutheran Church in Norfolk, Nebraska, written in German. After her husband died she married a man name Agustave (Gus) Schmidt. She is buried in the Hoskins, Nebraska cemetary.
