| Abstract | Summary of a family history submitted to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the state of Minnesota. Douglas County, Minnesota, was first settled in 1858, but nearly all its settlements were abandoned in 1862 because of the Dakota (Sioux) uprisings. Friedrich Brueske and his wife, Coelestine Cossum, came from Stettin and Berlin, respectively, and settled initially in the Lebanon, Wisconsin, area. Friedrich enlisted in the 48th Wisconsin Infantry in 1865; by 1876 the family had moved to Ida Township, Douglas County, Minnesota. Ida Township ws organized in 1870, and the 2000 census shows that about 34% of the population were of German ancestry. |
