Franz A. Braun

Franz A. Braun was born in Bobingen, Rhineland Pfalz, Germany on December 2, 1813 to Casper and Maria Eva Hauser Braun.

On January 20, 1839, Franz married Sophia Weis in the parish of Geinsheim, Bobingen, Germany.

Sophia and Franz came to the United States with their four children in 1851. From the Port of New York, they went directly to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for eight years, then to settle near Concord, Jefferson County, Wisconsin where they farmed. They moved to Mitchell County, Iowa in 1876 and settled on a farm in Section 21, Stacyville Township. Franz also worked as a painter.

They were the parents of eleven children. The first two, Maria Anna (July 7, 1839) and Barbara (March 21, 1841) died as infants and are buried in Bobingen, Germany. The other children were: Johannes (John) H., Phillip, Joseph, Jacob, William, Heinrich (Henry) Boniface, Catherine, and Maria P.

Franz passed away on April 27, 1897 in Stacyville Township, and is buried at the Visitation Cemetery in Stacyville, Iowa.
