Misfeldt Family by LeMara Eicke

Most of this information came from family members.

Fritz Misfeldt came to the United States in 1861 as a very young man, settling in Scott County, Iowa. The countryside is very much like the area in Germany, so you will find many people from Germany settling first in Scott County.

Fritz and Bertha Horst were married in Scott County and three of their children were born there. They came to Nebraska, and for a short time lived in Sarpy County, the second county south of Washington County.

Anna was born in Nebraska, about 1875 and two years later a daughter, Margaretha, was born, but she only lived a couple of weeks. She is buried in the Fort Calhoun Cemetery. A year later Otto was born, on Christmas Day. I would guess that Bertha developed pneumonia, as she died just six weeks after Otto was born.

While Bertha was sick and probably shortly after. Otto was wet nursed by a Mrs. Soil, as she just had a baby too. Fritz found himself alone to raise 5 children, the oldest Henry (my grandfather) age 11 down to baby Otto, age 6 weeks. It must have been a very hard job.

You can see by the 1880 Census, John was listed as a boarder at the the Henry Puls home. He probably helped with chores also. Fritz chose to let Otto be raised (or adopted) by the Asmus Asmussen family, they had no other children. I'm sure things were still hard and so Anna was to live with the Claus Schlopkohl family, again maybe to help out with chores or possibly there was a family connection, as the Soll name appears again. It was also said that Anna and Fritz's second wife, Elizabeth did not get along.

I do not know who fathered Anna's first baby, William, but about a year later, she and Julius were married. They moved to the Creighton, Nebraska area and I don't really know much more about the family. Henry married Adele Gottsch, had one son, Charles, lost a baby girl and then Adele died in childbirth. He later married Margaret Gottsch, Adele's sister. They lived west of Washington, Nebraska and had eight children. John Misfeldt married Tina Petersen, lived just north of Bennington, but died as a young man. They had no children. Metha Misfeldt married Henry Arp. They lived north of Washington, Nebraska. They had six children. Otto married and had one son, they lived in the Fort Calhoun area.

Most of the family were farmers and stayed in this general area of Nebraska. Quite a few of the children are buried in the German Cemetery, north of Bennington. Fritz and Elizabeth are buried in the Kennard, Nebraska Cemetery.

LeMara Jean Misfeldt and Henry Arthur Eicke had the following children:

    83 i. Edward George6 Eicke, was born in Nebraska.

    84 ii. Lynn Henry Eicke, was born in Nebraska.

    85 iii. Mae Annette Eicke, was born in Nebraska.

    86 iv. Paula Eicke, was born in Nebraska.
