THE VOTH FAMILY

I begin with 2 of the Voth brothers:

1. Abraham J. Voth (1828-1911) m. Mary Unruh

2. Jacob Voth (1822-0000) m. Aganeta Evert

According to the United States Passenger list of Mennonite immigrants arriving in America 1872-1904 and Published in 1986 by the Mennonite Library and Archives in North Newton, Kansas, Page 6, shows the following:

Aboard the ship "SS" Hammonia sailing from Hamburg and arriving in New York, August 15, 1873 were the original group of 14 families led by Tobias Unruh (1822-1875), great grandfather and his cousin, the famous Daniel Unruh (1820-1893). Included in this group of 14 families was Daniels Unruh's oldest daughter Maria Unruh (1841-1908) and husband Abraham Voth (1828-1911) with their children as follows:

W*M '

1. Cornelius Voth age 14

2. Hein (Henry) Voth age 13

3. Daniel Voth age 9

4. Abraham Voth age 8

5. John Voth age 3

6. Jacob Voth age 8 months

According to some family history accounts suggest that Henry died in Russia, however that must be incorrect as Hein (Henry) was alive on arrival in New York. He may have passed away soon after coming to America. Dutch Mennonite Church records of 1876 for this family do not list their son Henry with the other sibs.

Also on Page 88 of the above passenger list, board the "Switzerland" sailing from Antwerp and arriving in Philadelphia on June 24, 1879, among 727 Mennonite passengers were brothers Benjamin Voth, age 63, Jacob and Aganetha (Anna) Voth/ both age 57, their 2 younger children, Abraham age 21 and Aganeta age 18.

Also on board was Jacob and Aganetha's daughter, Anna age 30, and husband Jacob Buller age 30, with children, Peter age 5 and baby Anna.

This passenger list also included the following Voths on Page 89. Johann Voth age 50 Wife age 32 Cornelius Voth age 18 Johann Voth age 14 Susanna Voth age 12 Abraham Voth age 9 Gerhard Voth baby

In addition, this passenger list includes many other members of the following families: Wall, Unruh, Hiebert, Gossen, Penner, Toews, Neufeld, Wedel, Durksens, Heinrichs and etc.

We now begin with brother Abraham J. Voth (1828-1911) Married Maria Unruh (1841-1908)

Abraham J. Voth and Maria Unruh were both born in the Crimea. Family records show Abraham born in 1828. The "SS" Hammonia passenger list of August 15, 1873 recorded his age as 53 which would be 1818 as his year of birth, however I have more reason to believe that the 1828 date is more likely to be correct. The Dutch Mennonite Church Membership record book of 1876 in Freeman, South Dakota shows Abraham's year of birth as 1828 and Maria D. Unruh born July 4, 1841. Abraham and Maria were married in 1857.

Abraham J. Voth and Maria Unruh with family came to America with the group of 14 families. They later settled near Hitchcock, Oklahoma. Maria died on October 10, 1908 and Abraham passed away on December 21, 1911. Both Maria and Abraham are buried near Hitchcock in Blaine County, Oklahoma.

Abraham J. Voth and Maria Unruh had 13 children as follows:

1. Cornelius Voth (1858-1912)

John Voth (1869-0000) Married Katherine Hiebert (0000-1904)

John Voth was born on December 21, 1869, married Katherine in 1889. He had 4 children with 1st wife, Katherine Hiebert and 2 children with his 2nd wife, Ida Fast grandmother's twin sister. Their children are our 2nd cousins,

1. Mary Voth (1891-1906) was the 1st child of John Voth and Katherine Hiebert.

Mary's mother Katherine died in North Dakota. Her father married Ida B Fast on August 14, 1898.

Following the death of her mother, Mary did not get along with her new stepmother. She ran away with my dad to California.

Mary Voth born January 19, 1891, father's first wife. Aunt Anna (Toews) Wall kept her picture taken by Theron Cole Studio in Carrington, North Dakota, about 1904 - 1905. Mary's mother, Katherine (Hiebert) Voth had died. Her father, John Voth married Ida (Faust) Fast (whom Mary did not like) on December 1, 1904.

Mary became pregnant, and that may have been another reason to leave with father and go to California where cousin Cornelius Wall was living. According to my father, they wanted to get married, but Mary was too young, and needed her parent's permission. They bought a marriage license and hung it on the wall so the neighbors would believe that they were legal.

Mary gave birth to a son, which they called Henry. Father said that Mary died of consumption. Father's relatives helped to look after his baby. He said that the baby also died while teething, and that they were buried in the St. Helena Area.

Page 243

These two were in love. I don't think my dad ever forgot her. He kept this picture all his life.
