Notes for Appolonia KUNTZ


Immigration: 21 NOV 1899 Arrived at New York, Ellis Island aboard the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Grosse hailing from Bremen, Germany with brother Valentine and
husband Peter Kraft. Note: It looks like Appolonia immigrated with her husband
Peter Kraft and brother Valentine Kuntz from Baden, Russia in November 1899.
They were meeting a brother and sister and nephew of Peter's in Eureka, S.D. I
believe this brother was Joe Kraft, his wife Katie and son Ferdinand (wife
Katie was a Lauinger so perhaps that's how Appolonia and George Leingang met).
Peter Kraft died sometime between November 1899 and June 1900. Valentine was
living with Joseph Burget and his family as a farm laborer in the 1900 Census
while Appolonia was a housekeeper for Joseph Thuelle, a priest.
