Before immigration, the first and second generation members of our MOEWS family in America, were born and resided in the territory later known (between 1919 & 1949) as the Polish Corridor. This narrow strip in the northern part of Poland, between the former German Provinces of Pomerania and East Prussia extending to Danzig and the Baltic Sea, provided the country a much needed accessibility to sea ports and the great Baltic Sea. After immigrating to America, August Henry Moews lived in a rustic small house about 1/4 mile north of where the Moews Co. seed house now stands near Granville, Illinois. He and his wife and two children came to America in 1887. He died in 1888 apparently because of hemorrhaging stomach ulcers. Ernestine Fredericke Barz, his wife then took up residence with one of her sons, Herman, who had immigrated earlier. Both August and Ernestine were interred in the Granville cemetery. |
