Johann aged: 28 and Augusta aged 16 (no children) left the Port of Hamburg, Germany - Ship: Polaria. Arriving in the Port of Ellis Island, New York on 15 May 1882. From Castle Garden, New York - this couple made their way to Pennsylvania where other family members were living. We assume that John is related to Henrick/Henry Klawitter who is already living in this Pennsylvania area and it is assumed that they are brothers. Two daughters were born to this Union in Pennsylvania: Pelegia who died an infant and Barbara. John worked for Amish Farmers in the Luzerne County of Pennsylvania who taught them to speak English. This family stayed in the Pennsylvania area for about 1889. This is when John left with his family and headed to Wisconsin. A small rural farming town of Sigel, Wood County, Wisconisn. There he built his home for his family and begins to build up his small farm. There are two known family members living in Sigel, Wood County at this time. Matt Prince who is a nephew - Matt's mother, Anna Klawitter who is John's sister and also Frank Kapitan who is Augusta's brother. Here John works his land and during the winter is a lumberjack as are all the other immigrant farmers in Sigel Township. John and Augusta have 4 additional children at their farm in Sigel: Maria - Joseph - Walter and Anna. This family attends the local Catholic Church in Sigel: Holy Rosary - this Catholic Church is of a Gothic Style - small rural with a small cemetery at the rear of the church. This church is still in existence and Mass is said once a month. This is where the children receive their Baptisms - First Holy Communions. The Litke family keeps coming up during this time who live in Minnesota and additional family members immigrated into Round Hill/Round Lake, Alberta Canada. John Klawitter makes a decision to move his family out of Wisconsin and into the Canada's Northwest Territory. This family packed their belongings and load up in a horse drawn wagon - they head to Minnesota, probably staying with relatives until able to continue into Canada. The Wisconsin State Censuses, of 1895 find this KLAVITTER family living in Sigel, Wood County, Wisconsin along with Matt Printz and his family and Fred Kapitan and his family - these 3 connecting immigrant families all live in the same area - their farms adjoin. The 1900 US Federal Census again finds this Klawitter family living in Sigel - John is a farmer married to Augusta with 5 children listed: Barbara - Maria - Joseph - Walter & Katie. During this time John has learned that there is more land being offered to immigrants in Canada. Could very well be information through the Litke families made this offer seem realistic to John. He had sons that would need land to farm and raise their families. Sigel did not offer this and income was limited. For whatever reason; John took his family in May 1901 and headed to Minnesota for Canada. This is where my Grandmother remembers this Klawitter family packed up in a horse drawn wagon heading for Canada. We are assuming John and his family traveled: Minnesota to Manitoba by train? CPR Train via Calgary to Wetaskiwin Northwest Territory, Canada and then across by wagon to Round Hill/Round Lake. Here John was able to build a mud shanty with help from his neighbors, probably the Budynski family who had a homestead close. This area was the bush and not easily accessible. Unfortunately, John became ill and found working his land difficult - he died on March 07, 1903 and is buried on the Frank Budynski family farm. The Catholic Church in Round Hill was build by the Budynski family but not until 1907. I received a hand written letter from Maria Mary Klawitter/Sister Cecilia Klawitter who told me the following. Maria had been told by her mother to walk to the nearest farm, probably the Budynski Farm with a pail and bring back milk for the family. Maria was about 11 years old and the Budynski Farm was probably a few miles away. Maria prayed the whole time walking to that farm and again praying on her return to her family. While walking back - a black buggy appeared out of no where and what? A miracle - A Catholic Priest who we believe was A Polish missionary, Father Olazewski. He asked about surrounding Catholic families and of course, Maria explained who ill her father was and how much the family needed help. This missionary priest picked Maria up and put her and the milk into the black buggy. This priest stayed with the Klawitter family until John passed away and was buried. Maria made it known that she believed that the coming of the Catholic Priest was a calling for her to become a Nun. Fr. Olazewski after much discussion took Maria with him assuring her mother, Augusta that Maria would receive a wonderful education and vows if she so wished upon completion of her education. Maria became Sister Cecilia Klawitter - an educator and artist. Augusta remarried to John Fish and Barbara married Frank Budynski and the family continued. Augusta married John Fish after 1903 - To this union 3 additional children are born : Helene - Rose and John. Note: John Fish was been married previously to Jessie Carzina Karasek and to this union 9 children are known.
