Information on Delphenich family

DELPHENICH

Looking for information on the Delphenich family.

The family always said they settled first in the Dubuque area, but I haven't found much written record of them there.

Anton and Petronella Delphenich arrived in 1855 from the Rhineland with two children, Magdalena and Anton. Anton died soon after they arrived in the US.

They had four children in Iowa;

Joseph M, born 1858
Katherine, born 1859
John Peter, born 1861
William Peter, born 1863, my great-grandfather.

They were Catholic. In Germany they were farmers, but I heard mention of Anton working on trains in Dubuque.

By 1870, most of them had moved to La Crosse, Wisconsin, where the family lived and grew until WWII.

One of the sons, John, married a Katherine Englehorn and appears on the 1895 Census with her and their children living in Makee. I have also seen the names of Waukon and Lansing mentioned.

Thanks for any help.
