21	August and Katherine (Koenig) Breidenbachwere the parents of 9 children 1 August F. and Katherine E. (Koenig) Breidenbach the first child being born in Winona County, Minnesota on 18 March 1880. By the 11th of June when the 1880 Federal Census was taken, the August F. Breidenbach family of three was living in Eagle Township of Waukesha County, Wisconsin, as evidenced by the following enumeration: "Fred Breidenbach age 60 Retired farmer August F. (son) age 32 Farming Kate (wife) age 25 Michael (son) age 2/12" (meaning 2 months old) (24) Although some sources give Winona, Minnesota,as the birthplace for the first four children of August and "Kate", it would seem highly unlikely in lieu of the 1880 census and the statements in obituaries for both August and Kate which suggest the 1880 time period for their move to Eagle, Wisconsin. August had returned to Eagle to take over his father's farm where they were again enumerated as "5 males and 3 females" in the 1885 State Census of Wisconsin. 84 Eight more children were born to August and "Kate" Breidenbach after their move from Minnesota to Wisconsin. The birth AND christening dates for all nine children were found in the Koenig Family Bible. The remainder of August's life is explained in his obituary.	Family: F2739

23	Bernard also composed a special poem in honor of the wedding of their daughter "Franziska Marianne" to "Friedrich Fischbach" who were married in Denver on 25 October 1881. This poem, too, was very neatly-written in the old German Script in three evenly-spaced columns on a 15 ½” X 12 ½” piece of paper. FREDERICK FISCHBACH and FRANCES MARIANNE nee BREIDENBACH On Your Wedding Day Frances Marianne, for you today The sun began to rise from a different angle. What happens today as the hour struck When you, with a holy "Yes", sealed with your lips The covenant unto death. As God in paradise gave Eve unto Adam, Also has He given you to Frederick. Jehovah's servant has now spoken the blessing over folded hands, That God's mercy will always be with you. You changed your name, from Breidenbach, to Fischbach, With whom you are joined in this earthly life unto the grave. You are his wife beside him, wherever Fritz will appear, Henceforth, you are the hostess and he will be the host. May the portrait in front of the altar hover over your soul, And be your guide through life's portal. Your Fritz gave you his hand as husband, And you have given yours as wife. Together share your joy and happiness in life, Do the same in sorrow and in strife. Frances, charming roses are not blooming day by day, But evergreen and ivy will form an arcade along your way! The myrtle wreath in your hair may keep your good faith amaze, Seek this jewel preservation every morn anew by His grace! May the sun shine forth through windows and the door, Showering you with bliss, now and forevermore! May your home be a place of welcome that everyone will love to choose And everywhere long after, the people still review. Then in the Golden Days when you are sitting in the rocking chair, Your grandsons and granddaughters will arouse your memories once more. The charming seraphines may float and escort you along And serve you graciously in time everlasting, with song! That some day in the Hall of Heaven, When freed from toil and pain, You can say, "Dear God, Here I am with all the loved ones You have given me!" (115)	Family: F13

25	Bernard and Anna lived on the farm where he was "born, having purchased it from his father Joseph in 1884. (See page 13 for details on the land descrip¬tion and the legal transactions.) "Ben Breidenbach" was listed as the owner of the farm in the 1891 Platbook of Waukesha County, Wisconsin. (34) "Ben" enlarged their farm home by having rooms added onto the old house in 1894. His elderly father Joseph (living with them on the farm he had bought in I852) wrote about the remodeling project on 15 June 1894. (See page 14.) Twenty-four years later, Ben sold the farm.

26	Catharina Theresia, known as "Theresa" in America, was born in Oesdorf on 27 April 1823i the first of nine children born to Johann Jodocus and Elizabeth (Linneman) Von Ruden. (49) (Johann"s middle name has varied from record to record.) Frederick and Theresa had two sons, John and August, before the family emigrated to America in 1850. According to Frederick's declaration of intent for citizenship, they landed at the Port of New York in July of 1850. (12) From New York the young family migrated to the newly-admitted state of Wisconsin (statehood had been granted two years earlier in 1848) where they settled in Eagle Township of Waukesha County, near Milwaukee. The only daughter, Frances, was born on 26 October 1850, three months after the family had arrived in America. There must have been great jubilation two years later when the young immigrant family was joined by close family members from their homeland, namely: Frederick's father Franz, Frederick's brother Joseph and his young family, Frederick's bachelor brothers John and Bernard, and Frederick's sister Agatha, as well as Theresa's brother Martin Von Ruden. The Breidenbachs andVonRudens were a part of a large group from Oesdorf who had emigrated together, landing at the Port of New York in July of 1852. Frederick's brother Joseph and his family had been in Wisconsin only a few weeks when Joseph's wife, Gertrude, died from cholera in September of 1852.She was buried on the farm in Eagle Township of Waukesha County, Wisconsin. In December of 1852, there were two Breidenbach weddings: the widower Joseph married Frances Bunza, and Joseph's and Frederick's sister Agatha married Martin Von Ruden, the brother of Frederick's wife Theresa. Both marriages took place on 4 December 1852 at Eagle, Wisconsin, although the marriage records were filed in the adjoining county of Jefferson. Children born to these couples would be double cousins.	Family: F1441

36	During the 1860's, thousands of German immigrant settlers in Wisconsin enlisted for service in the Civil War, including Frederick's two younger brothers Bernard and John, as well as his son John.

44	Frank and Mary first lived on a farm but then moved into the village of Eagle where all of their children were born. Frank worked for the Waukesha County Highway Department until retirement. (213) Frank also held positions in the local government as evidenced by the following notice published in THE EAGLE QUILL of 1930: "Frank A. Breidenbach, village treasurer, will be at his office in the Bank of Eagle, Tuesday, Feb. 25th, to receive taxes. " (119) "(Mary and Frank) had a good life and enjoyed playing all kinds of cards with their friends and especially the brothers and sisters on the Breidenbach side. Every Sunday we would go to someone's house, or ours, and the adults would play cards all afternoon and take time out for supper and then play some more!"

46	Franz and Catharina were the parents of five known children (Joseph, Frederick, Bernard, Agatha and John) whose baptismal records from St. Johannes Church of Oesdorf have "akersmann", meaning "farmer", as the occupation for Franz. Catharina died at Oesdorf on 22 February 1840. (4) Very little is known about the remainder of Franz's life. According to the 1909 obituary for his son John (see page 488), Franz emigrated to America in 1852 with his "four sons and one daughter" and settled on a farm west of Eagle, Wisconsin with his son Joseph. (The obituary should have read "three sons and one daughter" because his son Frederick and family had immigrated two years earlier.) Proof that Franz did come to America was found in the i860 Federal Census Records of Eagle Township, Waukesha County, Wisconsin where he was enumerated in the household of his eldest son Joseph as "Francis Breidenbach, age 72, born in Prussia". (9) It will be noted that the enumerator Anglicized his German name of Franz to "Francis". Franz was NOT included in any of the I87O census records of his children, nor has a death record been found, but it is believed that he died between the years of i860 and 18700 Even though St0 Theresa's Church of Eagle, Wisconsin no longer has its early church records which may have had Franz Breidenbach's date of death recorded in them, nevertheless, it IS believed that he WAS BURIED in the old cemetery of St. Theresa's, referred to as Evergreen Cemetery many years ago0 Old Sto Theresa's Cemetery is located in a thickly wooded area immediately west of the Village of Eagle. (See map on page 11 for the proximity of the old cemetery to the village and the farms on Franz's sons, Joseph and Frederick. ) It is rather ironic that no tombstone exists for Franz, especially when one considers that a large cast iron cross (see page 13) marks the grave of a daughter-in-law who preceded him in death„ A marker of some kind may have "been placed on the grave of Franz Breidenbach, but it was probably destroyed or removed from the grounds when the cemetery (see page 15) was vandalized years ago0 At that time, two of the beautiful cast iron markers on other Breidenbach graves (see pages 13 and 76) were broken in half, but they have since been repaired.

47	Frederick "Friedrich" Breidentach's Signature (Click on the word "Signature") on a document dated the "29th day of December A.D. 1862" when he attested to "being present at the wedding of Agnes and Jacob Von Ruden on 4 January 1844 "in the Village of Shervedy in the Kingdom of Prussia". Agnes Von Kuden was applying for a widow's pension following her husband's death on 28 September 1862 "because of a disease contracted while in the service of the United States".	Family: F1441
48	From Spink County Joseph and his family moved to southern South Dakota where the next three children (Anna, b0 1893; Mary, b. 1894; and Katherine, b. I896) were born at Tyndall. After farming at Tyndall for a few years, Joseph decided to take up homestead land, thereby entering # 30922 homestead application for the SW-f- of Sec. I8-T97N-R65W in Charles Mix County, South Dakota. The homestead land was located 8 miles southeast of the town of Geddes. (226)	Family: F2742
