Johann Heinrich Hermann Harms married Sophia Christinia Julie Holste on August 10, 1848. After 5 1/2 years of marriage, Johann Heinrich Hermann Harms died Feb. 7, 1854, leaving Sophia with 2 sons : Heinrich Wilhelm Friedrich Hermann (born May 25, 1849) and Friedrich Diedtrich Conrad (born Oct. 2, 1854), who was born six months after his father died. On Nov. 1, 1858, Sophia Christinia Julie (Holste) Harms married her brother-in-law, CONRAD FRIEDRICH DIETRICH HARMS (born Sept. 12, 1833), the youngest of the Harms family. Tragically, Sophia died the following Feb. (1859), leaving Conrad with his brother's 2 sons -- his nephews but, also, his stepsons -- and no mother to care for them. CONRAD FRIEDRICH DIETRICH HARMS met and married Maria Doris Hude (born Mar. 18, 1840) on June 7, 1860, and she instantly became mother to the two boys and, then, added THIRTEEN children to the family. Around 1866, the family came to America with stepson, Friedrich Diedtrich Conrad Harms -- Heinrich Willhelm Friedrich Hermann had passed away Feb. 1865 -- and their three little daughters. The couple's 1st born son, Jorgen Heinrich Wilhelm had been born Apr. 11, 1861, but had passed away Feb. 1, 1863. The voyage took six long weeks. The family came to Nemaha County, NE to live with CONRAD FRIEDRICH DIETRICH HARMS' next oldest brother, named Conrad Friedrich Harms (therefore, CONRAD FRIEDRICH DIETRICH HARMS must have gone by the name DIETRICH to separate him from his next oldest brother, Conrad Friedrich). Conrad Friedrich Harms had come to America in 1860 and homesteaded 4 miles west and 1 mile south of Auburn, NE. Later, C. F. DIETRICH and Maria Harms and family moved to the northeast corner of the section as their family grew larger. C. F. DIETRICH Harms was a farmer and a blacksmith. Maria died at the home near Auburn, NE, on July 17, 1896, at age 56, from complications from diabetes. After C. F. DIETRICH HARMS retired from his farm, he lived with one or the other of his children's families, depending on the years, and passed away, suddenly, from heart failure on Feb. 20, 1911. He was 78 yrs. old and was living at the home of his daughter Bertha Emma, wife of Frederick Scheele, at Leland, Idaho. The 7 children of Andreas Lorentz Conrad Harms and Sophia Henrietta Schutten, married April 24, 1812 in Walsrode, Germany are as follows : Johann Heinrich Hermann Harms -- born May 29, 1814 -- died May 12, 1854 ** Sophia Christine Scharlotta Harms -- born April 4, 1815 Karl Conrad Harms --------------------- born January 11, 1819 Herman Heinrich Harms -------------- born July 18, 1821 -- died January 25, 1825 George Heinrich Wilhelm Harms ---- born April 19, 1824 -- died May 1, 1862 Conrad Friedrich Harms --------------- born October 8, 1827 -- died December 19, 1914 Conrad Friedrich DIETRICH Harms-- born September 12, 1833 -- died February 20, 1911 * & buried in Idaho (C. F. DIETRICH Harms is my Great Great Grandfather Find-A-Grave Memorial 59234396)
