Notes for JUERGEN STOERTENBECKER:
The Bannesdorf Kirchenbuech shows Juergen
Stoertenbecker was a "hausmann und tischler"
The obituary of Juergen's daughter, Amelia
Stoertenbecker Eggers, says she came to America with her parents at age 9
(putting the year of immigration at about 1851-1852). The obituary does not say
if the family came directly to Davenport, Iowa or not.
They do not appear in the 1856 State census of Iowa.
Germans To America Family Archives CD#355
(Passenger and Immigration Lists 1850-1874) shows the Stoertenbecker family as
follows:
J. Stoertenbecker, age 54, occupation joiner
Cath. Stoertenbecker, age 44, wife
Gertrude Stoertenbecker, age 20, daughter
Fritz Stoertenbecker, age 16, son
Wilhelmine Stoertenbecker, age 13, daughter
The CD indicates they traveled steerage on the
ship Hammonia, arriving in America (port of arrival not noted) on 16 May 1857,
master J.A. Heydtmann. Port of embarkation is listed as Marseilles (which is
suspected to be in error). According
to "Palmers List of merchant Vessels" (http://www.geocities.com/mpraetorius/com-ha.htm)
the Hamburg-Amerika Line steamship Hammonia was built by Caird & Co.,
Greenock and was launched 5 May 1855. It
was 2,026 tons, 301 feet x 37 feet 11 inches x 24 feet 9 inches (length x
breadth x depth of hold) had a clipper bow, 1 funnel, 3 masts, iron
construction, screw propulsion, geared oscillating, engine, service speed 10
knots and accomodation for 54 passengers in 1st cabin, 146 in second cabin and
310 in steerage and a crew of 77. It
was chartered by the French government as a Crimean War transport.
She made her first Hamburg to New York voyage 1 July 1856 and made a
total of 36 round trip voyages. She
is shown as having made 5 voyages to New York in 1857.
Her captain in 1856-57 was F.A. Heydtmann.
The
earliest reference in Iowa records that has been found is a nearly illegible
entry in the 1860 Federal census showing Jurgen Stortenbecker, age 58, a
laborer, born in Holstein and his wife (name illegible), age 48 also born in
Holstein (City of Davenport, page 60, dwelling 606, family 535).
Davenport city directories show that in 1868-69 a Jurgen Stueltenbecker
lived on the west side of Warren Street, two doors south of 5th street and in
1870-71 a Jurgen Stultenbecker groceries was at the same address.
Jurgen does not appear in subsequent directories or in the 1870 Federal
census.
A search of Davenport death and cemetery records
has been done but Juergen and Catharina have not been found.
Family tradition (related by Leona Claussen Kurth to Paul Frost) says
Amelia's parents died of cholera and were buried in a common grave with other
victims at City Cemetery in Davenport. Local
newspapers of the time as well as Downer's HISTORY OF SCOTT COUNTY, Vol. I,
1910) indicate there were some cholera outbreaks in the 1870's, a particularly
bad one occurring in the fall of 1873. During
one of these outbreaks so many died that records apparently were not kept of the
deaths. The September 16, 1973
Times Democrat Newspaper, Focus Section had an article about a mound at the
western edge of City Cemetery where some cholera victims were buried.
It is believed, based on the lack of other records as well as the family
tradition, that Juergen and Catharina were among them.
