The 1880 United States Federal Census finds Hans Ewoldt living in Cleona, Scott, Iowa, born in Holstein, Germany in 1837.
Hans was married to Henrietta Ewoldt, and in the household were William (12), Lena (9), John (6), Rosa (2), and Charles (1).
The 1900 United States Federal Census finds Hans still in Cleona, adds a birth month of June, marriage to Henriette in 1868. At that time in their home were John (25), Amanda Sinn (19), Hermann (17), Albert (15), Hans (14), August (10), Edward (7), and Alvina (12).
