After meeting and marrying in Charleston, S.C., Herman and Anna left that initial U.S. location, which at the time was infested with deadly Yellow Fever. "So they went West, came up the Mississippi and sought a farm home northwest of Dyersville. It was about the year 1853 when they came with their daughter Dora who was then six months old." In 1855 they bought their farm. "Mr. and Mrs. Herman Grawe had the following children: Dora (Mrs. Herman Wilgenbush), Herman Jr., Anna (Mrs. John Eilers of Geddes, South Dakota), Nick of Dyersville, and an infant who died at birth. Mrs. Grawe died in childbirth February 19, 1866 at the age of thirty four years and was buried in St. Francis Cemetery. Nick Grawe remembers that his mother's grave was in the southeast corner in the first row of graves of the cemetery but the identity of the grave is now lost." Herman Grawe married a second time, to Catherine Erdmann, and had 10 more children with this second wife. He died June 8, 1900. His second wife lived to August 31, 1923. Extracted from an article called "Mr. and Mrs. Herman Grawe" of unspecified origin, seemingly an entry from a regional history of the Dyersville, IA area. NOTE: The surname Grawe seems to morph to Graves for several of the children.
