Joseph settled in the area of Elkport. He and his wife, Theresa Reiseman b. 1837, had eight children: Alexander m. Mary Eggert and had three children. Albert m. Minnie Meyer and had six children. Clara m. Louis Howe and had two children. Ida m. Joseph Zapf and had four children. Matilda m. Henry Fassbinder and had seven children. Josephine m. Herman Ovel and had six children. George never married. Emma m. Gerhard Beyrink and had two adopted children. Because Mathias Matt had a son named Joseph too, in order to keep the two identified; the one from Elkport was called "the water Matt" and the other one from Garnavillo was called "the prairie Matt." Joseph and his brother Mathias were both buried side by side in the new city cemetery at Garnavillo, Ia. This was a large family and it seemed rather unusual that of the eight children, six died of cancer and two died of old age.
