| Abstract | In addition to pioneers from Lippe Detmold who settled [in the summer of 1847] just west of Howards Grove, Sheboygan County was also settled by another group of Germans who "arrived and homesteaded in nearly the same area [also in 1847], settling in Town Herman just east of Ada. . . . These Germans were not Lippers, but Wuerttembergers, and not Protestant, but Catholic. They came from the small hamlet of Gruenmettstetten, on the northeastern edge of the Black Forest, in Germany's Neckar River valley." Describes the accomplishments of two Gruenmettstetters, Caspar Pfister and Johann Lutz. |
