Read More	Susan was married to Charles Henry Voges on Apr. 8, 1865. 5 children were born to this union; Charles William, George Herman, Frank Henry, Carrie Alice and Anna May. Susan attained the age of 88 years, 2 months and 17 days. The following is from the Lennox Diamond Jubilee Book. Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Voges were pioneers of Lincoln County. Charles Henry Voges was born in Brunswick, Germany, December 31, 1841. When he was about 12 years of age he came to the United States with his parents, settling at Madison, Wis. The voyage across the ocean brought misfortune to the family, with the passing of the mother while they were still in mid-ocean. Mr. Voges grew to manhood at Madison and there learned the trade of wagon and carriage-making. In the closing year of the war he enlisted as a mechanic and spent the last six months of the war in government employ. Upon his discharge, in the same year he was married to Miss Susan Byers, also of Madison, April 8, 1865. Mrs. Voges, (nee Susan Byers) was born in Germany, August 18, 1842. When she was only seven years old, her parents came to America, locating at Milwaukee, Wis., losing her mother and two sisters in an epidemic less than three weeks after landing. Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Voges, namely: Charles Willian Voges, presently at Big Timber, Mont.; George Herman Voges, (Worthing); Frank Henry Voges, Mrs. John (Carrie Alice) Gerber, (Lennox), and Mrs. Anna May Okken, (Woonsocket, S. D.) Frank died in March, 1937. In 1870 Mr. and Mrs. Voges immigrated to Dakota territory, entering Lincoln County and first taking a pre-emption about seven miles east of the present town of Worthing. In 1878 they homesteaded near the present Lennox townsite, and in 1909 they retired from active duties and moved to Worthing. The pioneer couple spent their declining years in Worthing. Their trip to Dakota Territory from Madison, Wis., was completed in a covered wagon, and for several years they resided in a sod house, enduring the hardships of early settlers. Mr. Voges preceded his wife in death, passing away February 27, 1915. Mrs. Voges succumbed November 4, 1930—at the age of 88 years, two months, and 17 days. Both were buried in Lennox.
