Chain: Hans Henry > Detlef Hans > Hans Detlaf and other children.----
DETLEF HANS SCHLOTFELDT and his wife, ANNA CHRISTINA REESE also farmed in Iowa, but some of his family decided to "move on west" to Washinton State and got into farming but also butcher shops and brewerys and things like that.
Among them was son Hans Detlaf, noted as on the left in this picture. Hans was a butcher in Clinton County, Iowa in the 1890s when his first daughter,Mayme, was born in 1893 to his first wife, Anna Marie Stahl, so it isn't surprising that he would end up with the "Schlotfeldt boys" in the butcher and brewery businesses in Washington after the turn of the century. In fact, Ann Marie died in Roslyn, Wash. in 1897 and he married Helen (Ella) Donovan. Grandmother of DICK and MANY others.
There is a new brewery in Roslyn, Wash. but none of the current family is connected with it.
ROSLYN---Sound familiar? Remember the TV Series, "Northern Exposure" which was made to look like Alaska? (t'was here.)
Some of our neighbors are displaced Washingtonians (Seattle)and when they started to tell Jan and I about their favorite "local" beer being JOSLYN beer, they were REALLY impressed when they learned our relatives had been the original Joslyn brewers. We are now locally famous. (At least in a 4 square block area.)
