The author is Vernon Auderer: Andreas was born July 9, 1810 in the province of Wurtternberg, Germany. His wife Regina Leute was born, most likely, in Baelem, which is in the Rheinheim area of Baden Germany, on December 19, 1820. Andreas and Friederich arrived in New York in 1845 or 1846. They came through Pennsylvania in route to Dubuque. Andreas and Friederich are said to be half-brothers. They married sisters, Andreas marrying Regina Friederich marrying Karalina Leute. The Link’s were of the Lutheran religion, the Leute’s Catholic. Friederich is buried in St. Matthew’s Lutheran Cemetery in Sherrill. His wife Karalina is buried in St. Francis Cemetery, Balltown. Andreas and his wife are both buried in St. Francis Cemetery in Balltown. Andreas turned Catholic on his 90th birthday, on July 9, 1900. He died January 6, 1901. Andrew bought 169.36 acres from the government on March 7, 1847. This is now the home place of his great-great- grandson Ronald Auderer [23970 North Waupeton Road]. Fred purchased 80 acres to the west on January 6, 1853 for $100 from Andrew. This place now belongs to Allen Heiderscheit . On January 6, 1877 Andrew sold the 169.36 acres to his son John. John then sold the land to his son, John J. Link. Frank later sold the parcel to his son-in-law Arnold Auderer, and he in turn to his son Ronald on October 25, 1972. The original log house was built by Andrew on the north hill-side of the farm. The log house was a two-story with an addition built on later for a kitchen on the upper side. The present, two story frame, house was built in 1890 by John Link. John Link had married a Mary Ann Rowles on February 25, 1873. All of their children were born in the log house except the youngest child Andrew who was born in the new house in 1892. ~~ Johann and Maria Rowles Anna Maria Nieberg was born September 14, 1804 near Oanabruck, Germany. She was the daughter of very rich parents. At the age of 15, in 1819, she married a young man by the name of Jurgen Heinrich Korte, who was also the son of wealthy parents. The rule in those days was the rich married the rich and the poor married the poor, so this was an arranged marriage. Jurgen’s parents were Colon Corte, and his mother’s maiden name was Kudepohl, first name unknown. Colon Corte’s last name was spelled with a “C” on his son Jurgen's death record. By the time Anna was 32 she had eleven children of who only 4 survived past infancy. She became ill and died of tuberculosis in 1836 at the age of 32. Marie E. Korte, Jurgen and Anna’s eldest living child, was born September 14, 1820 on a road off Hickingen Road, just outside the village of Voxtrup, which is four miles from Osnabruck, which is in the northwest part of Germany. In 1837, Marie E., then 16, and Heinrich, Maria’s brother born in 1822, now 14 years of age, were sent to America where they docked in New Orleans. They were taken in by a stranger that taught them the English language. They later went to St. Louis working at various jobs to pay rent and food. Maria had been writing to her father and was told that Johann Rowles, from her home area was coming and, he would try to locate her. She joyfully met him, they became dear friends and married. This was on September 28, 1846 in St. Louis. Johann had only one dollar of which fifty cents had to be paid for the marriage license. Johann worked in the ship yard loading and unloading salt off of ships. His pay was fifty cents per day. Their marriage record has Johann's name written as Johnness Roll. Also on the deed for the New Vienna farm his first name is spelled Johannes. His last name may have bee Rolfes back in Germany. When Johann became a citizen in 1852 in St. Louis, his last name was spelled Rolles. Three of Johann and Maria Rowles children were born in St. Louis. Then they moved to Quincy, Illinois for a short time, then to a farm in New Vienna, Iowa. This is where Maria Ann Rowles, Frank J. Link’s mother, was born December 2, 1854. They sold this farm the following year on May 19, 1855. Two days later, they bought 160 acres in Waupeton, Iowa. At the Waupeton farm three more daughters were born, Magdalena, Elizabeth and Emma. It was about this time that Maria Elizabeth Rowles ‘sisters Amit (Anna) and Elizabeth Korte joined them from Germany. The children all grew up on the farm.
