Thus, he would have reached 63 years old on 9 March. He entered military service in 1861, and was assigned to the battalion of riflemen [or sharpshooters] at Minden. In 1864, he took part in the war with Denmark, and in 1868 he participated in the war against Austria. In both wars, he received honors for loyalty and bravery, of which he was always very proud, as he had a right to be. In 1869, he left his Fatherland and immigrated to America, where in 1871 he married Theresia Spieker in Newton, Jasper County, Iowa. He lived there until 1879, and then he moved with his family to Carroll County. He bought a farm in the southern part of Carroll Township, where he lived up to the time of his death. The marriage produced 11 children, eight girls and three boys, as follows: Elisabeth, married to Bernard Potthoff; Theresia, married to Johann Bengfort; Joseph Klocke, married to Maria Stalla; and the unmarried children, Johann, Anna, Amalia, Sophia, Katharina, Anton, and Rosalia. [One of the girls is apparently not named in the article] His wife survives him. His family was devoted to him with great affection, and loses a dear family father. He was an old settler and a respected and beloved citizen. At every opportunity, he displayed his peaceful attitude toward his fellow-man, and his good humor never left him. On the Sunday before his death, he went piously to the Sacrament at Saints Peter and Paul Church. On Saturday morning, among a large attendance of relatives, friends and neighbors, he was buried at the cemetery in Roselle. Peace to his soul. [The article ends with a poem of eight lines.] Notes: The village of Rolfzen is in the German state of Westphalia, today called North Rhine-Westphalia, in the western part of Germany. It is still a separate village, but is administered as part of the town of Steinheim, which is a few miles west of Rolfzen. Some of the family names that came from Rolfzen and Steinheim and settled in Carroll County are: Reineke, Klocke, Spieker, Pietig, Poeppe, Kanne, and Wiedemeier.
