| Abstract | In February 1872, in Grainet, Bavaria, [the author's] great-great-grandfather Johann Stadler was married and with three other couples, including his brother Joseph Stadler, left for Kansas. 'One Stadler uncle had settled there as a farmer in 1855.' Johann's daughter Franziska was born and baptized in Eudora in December of that year. In 1877 the Stadlers returned to Grainet, and Johann died in 1879. His question, which we could not answer, was why the family left Eudora to return to Bavaria? His own suggestion [is] that the recession following the severe 1873 crash in the US had discouraged them. |
