| Abstract | Wilhelm (William) Marowski left the town of Oderberg in Prussia with his wife and daughter in 1850, arriving in Baltimore, Maryland. He opened a starch manufacturing plant and a general store in Baltimore, and letters he wrote home expressed great satisfaction with his new homeland. His wife, Wilhelmina (Minnie) Junge Marowski, however, wrote letters to her family which told of her great homesickness. In 1856, Minnie's sister Amalie Junge set sail with Florentine Lange for New Orleans, intending to reach Nacogdoches, Texas, where two of her brothers lived. Research shows Amalie married Karl Franz Roemmele in McKinney, Collin County, Texas, in 1857. Near the end of 1856, the Marowskis left Baltimore and moved to Nacogdoches, perhaps so that Minnie could be closer to family members. This article includes a great deal of information of the lives of these German-American families in Texas, including a court case where Amalie claimed she could not explain her business dealings in English, but seemed able to understand questions asked of her in English. |
