| Abstract | Jacob Sternberger emigrated from Kaaden, Bohemia (now Kadan, Czech Republic) to the United States in 1850. He married Franziska Leute November 4, 1865, in Columbus, Wisconsin, and later settled in Bangor, Wisconsin. This document -- incorporating information from censuses, vital and land records, newspaper clippings, family stories, and original letters -- provides background on the Sternberger family; Jacob's life in Europe (education, political ideals, and decision to emigrate); his arrival and early years in America; plans for the communal society to be known as Marienstern; chain migration of friends and family; Jacob's Civil War service; Jacob and Franziska's married life; and the Leute family history in both Schwenningen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, and in America. |
