The greater number of those patentees became permanent set- tlers, and to-day live in the enjoyment of happy homes. The Ger- man people of Frankenmuth make good citizens. During the war the people of this township adopted rather a novel way to fill their quota. The town is a German settlement ; the pastor is a regular patriarch, whose counsel is sought in temporal as well as in spiritual matters. He called his parish together, and announced that the quota of the town must be filled, and that he had selected certain of the young unmarried men to go. He read their names and told them they or their fathers must go. Every one of them enlisted instantly, and were mustered into the 31st Regi- ment August 27, 1864.

PERSONAL.

The following sketches are of the most prominent settlers of Frankenmuth :

John Leonard Bernthal, one of the oldest settlers of Franken muth tp., was born in Bavaria, Germany, 1821. In the spring of 1845, in company with seven others, lie came to Monroe, Mich., at which place they remained a short time, waiting for parties to ineet them to condnet them to their new home. After they arrival they again resumed their journey, this time by lake, for the Saginaw country. Arriving at the mouth of the Saginaw, thre were compelled to lie there several days, waiting for a favorable wind to carry them np the river ; becoming tired of waiting. they attached a rope to their boat and towed it by hand to Saginaw City, a distance of some 25 miles. After arriving at Saginaw they directly proceeded to that portion of Saginaw Co, now known as Franken- inuth tp., it then being an unbroken wilderness; there they located their lands and commenced the development of them. The first few years were wrought with hardship, which none of to-day can realize. Still, with untiring energy, they struggled on, until to-day he can look out upon 400 acres of fine fertile fields, upon which he has placed improvements second to none in his vicinity.

In 1846 he was married to Miss Mary M. Veitengruber, a na- tive of Bavaria, Germany, her parents being among the early settlers. Their family consists of the following children : Geo. Leonard (married), Maggie B. (married), George M., John George,

HISTORY OF SAGINAW. COUNTY.

Mary R. and John Conrad. All are members of the Lutheran Church.

John G. Breiter, farmer, was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1835. In 1852, in company with his sister, he emigrated to the United States and settled upon his present farm of 80 acres, tak- ing it in a wild state and bringing it to its present prodnctiveness only by indomitable energy and perseveranee, Mr. Breiter was married in 1859, to Mary Ann Kempf, who has borne him 6 children, all living at the old homestead. Mr. B. has been Justice of the Peace two terms, and served as School Director for 20 years. He is a member of the Lutheran Church.

Fredric W. Eilrich, farmer, was born in Prussia in 1832. His father, Michael, was a buteher by trade. He emigrated to this country in 1855, first settling in Rhode Island; thence to Canada, and in 1858 to Saginaw eounty. He worked at East Saginaw for three years, then bought his present farm, and gave a valuable gold watch for a team with which to farm it. He worked in the timber during the winter, and on the farm during the summer sea- sons. He now owns a good, fertile farm, all the produet of his own energies. He is a member of the Lutheran Church.

Benjamin B. Felgner, another of the enterprising young eiti- zens of Frankenmuth village, was born in Saxony, Germany. in 1851. In 1871 he eame to America. Though homeless and friendless, a stout heart beat within. After seeking for work from numerous parties, he finally obtained employment upon a railroad as track-repairer. This was rather severe work for the boy who had been reared in eomfort, his parents owning one of the largest flouring mills in Leipsic. Ben was kept at school un- til he had gained a good education, when he was placed in charge of his father's books, -quite a change from what he first engaged in; still he persevered, struggling with fate, until in 1873 we find him at Frankenmuth, Saginaw Co. In 1878 he was united in mar- riage to Miss Maggie Hoffman, of Frankenmuth, her parents rep- resenting one of the pioneer families. They have 2 ehildren- Minnie M. and Ben. G. In 1878 Mr. F. bought the old Exchange Hotel property, which he has thoroughly improved and refitted. At all times Ben, with his pleasing countenance, is found at his post.

John Gugul, farmer, see. 21, was born in Germany, Mareh 5, 1830, a son of George and Elizabeth Gugal. In 1860 the family eame to America, and settled in this tp., where they remained until the death of George Gugal, in 1871. John was with his parents on the farm until he was seven years of age, when he commenced to learn the trade of miller, at which he worked three years in the old country and seven years in this country. Dec. 29, 1852, he married Anna B. Bernthal, who was born in Germany, Feb. 14, 1830, and died in this country in 1872. By this marriage there were 12 children, S of whom are living-John C., Barbara (wife of Geo. Roedel), Paul L., Catherine, Matthew, Elizabeth and Mar- garet. Afterward he married Kundegunda Weiss, who was born

in Germany in 1836, and died in 1878. The 2 children of this union were Christian and Balthus. In November, 1879, Mr. G. married Baletha Hauschton, who also was born in Germany, Jan. 13, 1836, and who had + children by a former husband, namely: Panl, Catherine, Elizabeth and Babetha. Mr. Gngal owns 400 acres of good land; has been Constable and Highway Commissioner, and is at present Supervisor. He commenced in life with no property; worked industriously, first at $3 per month, then $+, and so on np, until he has surrounded himself with his present good fortune. Is a Democrat and a German Lutheran.

John G. Guyer was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1845, enii- grating to this conntry in 1869; represents the brewing interest of Frankenmuth village, which he bought in 1874. He has been one of the successful men of his village; commencing with bnt a limited sum, he has by strict economy succeeded in accumulating quite a fair property. In 1874 he was married to Miss Mary B. Roedel, daughter of one of Frankenmuth's most esteemed citizens. Tlie following are the names of his children-Gertrude, Johnnie, Katie and Freddie. Mr. G. and lady are members of the Lutheran Church.

Fred Heine, merchant, Frankenmuth tp., was born in Germany in 1854. He is a son of Jacob and Elizabeth Heine, natives of Germany, who emigrated to America when Fred was but six months of age. They located in Saginaw connty, where the sub- ject of this sketch was reared on a farm nntil eight years of age. He then went into his father's store as an assistant, and has been engaged in the mercantile trade since that period. He carries a good stock of groceries, hardware and crockery, and transacts a good business.

John Adam Held, farmer, sec. 30, came to this State in 1852, locating on 50 acres of wild and nnbroken land, on sec. 30. This he cleared, and by subsequent additions has increased his acreage to 210. In 1856 he married Anna M. Schnell, and the result of this nnion has been the birth of 12 children. Mr. Held is a mem- ber of the Lutheran Church, and an honored and respected citizen of Frankenmuth tp.

The Hubinger family originally came from Hungary, where they left on account of religions persecution, their flight being made a short time before what is known as the "Thirty Years' War" in Europe. For five days previons to their escape they were lid in a hog-pen behind some pea-straw, having nothing to eat. Three brothers and 2 sisters at length arrived in the Kingdom of Bavaria, and located on a river known as the Aurach. Franenaurach, now a large village, Herzogenaurach, a small city, and Muenigaurach, quite a city, were founded by the three brothers respectively. They built mills on the Aurach, one of which is still retained in the family, milling having, in fact, been the profession of the fam- ily for npward of 300 years.

HISTORY OF SAGINAW COUNTY.

John Mathias H., born in 1820, and John George H., born in 1823, at Louismuehle, near Ausbach, Bavaria, South Germany, after receiving a good common-school education, worked with their father, John G. Hubinger, in the mill-John M. until he was 18 years old, then eight years at different places of the country.

In 1846 they started for Frankenmuth, Mich., where the year before a colony had been planted among the Indians to christian- ize them, with Loche, Pastor of Neuendettelsau, Bavaria, being the projector, and Rev. August Craemer the missionary. The party comprised about 65 persons. Just before going aboard the vessel, they having their own pastor, 10 couples were married at Bremen. Among them were John M., marrying Miss Anna P. Walter, a native of Rossstall, Bavaria, and John G. was united with Miss Rosina Barbara Hospel, a farmer's daughter from Bavaria. Ar- riving safely at New York and Detroit, they started for Saginaw on a sail boat, which took them nearly two weeks. This was May, 1846. From Saginaw they came direct to this place. There was a wagon road cut out to Bridgeport ; from there nothing but a trail, only about six farms being cleared in the tp.

The first season they built a log house on the bank of the Cass river. In 1847 the brothers commenced to build a saw-mill, using water power, completing it in 1848, this being the first mill in the tp. Shortly afterward they added a flouring mill. In 1851 the mill business was bought out by John George, and it has grown under his direction ever since. John M. started in 1851 a store, this being the second store in the town, where " Uncle John " can be found every day serving cheerfully the many customers who crowd his store. In 1874 he built a steam flouring mill, " Star of the West," which his son Lorenz now controls. He owns some 300 acres, though has given to each of his'sons a farm when they started for themselves. He owns a number of village lots and has sold a number. He has been Postmaster for 11 years, Treasurer of the tp. many years, was re-elected, and is . now holding that, office. He has been a Trustee of the St. Lorenz (Lutheran) Church for many years, and has done much to build up that congregation of 235 male voting members. His & chil- dren are-Margareth, who died at 18 years of age ; John George. who married Miss Burger, is a farmer ; Lorenz, who married Miss Maria Fuerbringer, and is proprietor of " Star of the West" mill (steam flouring), Frankenmuth; Elizabeth, married to Mr. List, having store at Salzburg, Bay Co., Mich .; George Leonhard, farmer in Birch Run tp .; Johanna E., married to Mr. Leonhard Heine, storekeeper at Frankenmuth; Gotfried John, Mary, Christoph, at home.

John George Hubinger, above mentioned, has even done better than his brothers. To his flouring mill and saw-mill he added a steam flouring mill, planing mill and tannery. He is running a general merchandise store and a large lumber business, cutting a large number of logs in his own pinery every winter, and buying

oak, etc., logs for the market. His long timber is cut at East Sagi- naw. He has been Town Treasurer several times. He is doing the largest business in the town, and no man has done more for the community, nor is there a more respected citizen. His children are-John Leonhard, who married Miss Raquett; John Matthias, who married Miss Anna Zelinder; Adam, who married Gertrude Schluckebier; George Michael ; Johannes, deceased; Anna Barbara ; Anna Margaretlı, who married Mr. Adam List, a carpenter living in the village, and Anna Maria.

The sons are all engaged in some branch of the business of their father, and promisc well. They are all members of the Lutheran Church.

J. M. Hubinger, jr., son of one of the oldest and most respected families of Frankenmuth, was born in the above mentioned place in 1850. His early days were passed at the village school, after which he was placed in charge of one of the numerous business interests which his father represents, and which he has conducted up to the present writing, when he has bought the flouring mill interest of his father, to which he will add his lumbering interests. In 1874 he was married to Miss Anna B. Zehnder, of one of the first families in the tp. Emma B. J. and Amelia K. comprise the members of his family living; John O. H. is deceased. John M. jr., is one of the live, energetic young men who believe iu " making hay while the sun shines.'

John L. Krafft was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1826. His ather, George Krafft, was a fariner and Assessor, a well-educated man; his mother was a Miss Christiane Bierlein, the daughter of a farmer; their family consisted of 3 boys and 6 girls. In 1846 he tore loose from friends and home to join the new colony of Frank- enmnth, arriving here in the fall, coming from Detroit overland and experiencing great difficulties. He located 160 acres in sec. 22, having only a few hundred dollars to commence on. He has cleared up almost the entire quarter section, and made all improvements. He has in all 232 acres. He has been an active public man. He has been Supervisor for nine years, first Commissioner of High- ways, School Inspector, and is holding the School Directorship now. He has been Elder of the Lutheran Church for many years. He was married in Bremen in 1846 to Elizabeth Laemmerman, a native of Bavaria, who died some years ago. Their children are-Rosina Barbara, wife of H. M. Schreiner, a merchant in this town; Anna Margareth, wife of Henry Partenfelder, living at Bay City; Anna Barbara, John George, John Jacob, Anna Maria, John George Frederick, living at the old homestead. He is respected, and his counsel has often been sought and followed to good purpose. We cannot have too many of such citizens.

Fred. W. Koch, M. D., was born Sept. 4, 1844, at Regensburg (Ratisbon), Bavaria, situated on the Danube river; he emigrated with the family to America, in 1847, where his father settled, at Frankenmuth. He entered Concordia College at St. Louis, Mo.,

August, 1854, and graduated in June, 1862. From September, 1862, to Angust, 1863, he gave private lessons in ancient and mod- ern languages, and prepared to go to Europe to attend lectures at some of the universities. The Government order forbidding any one to leave the United States if above the age of 17 years, frus- trated this plan. He went to Philadelphia, Pa., and attended lectures at the Jefferson Medical College, in September, 1863. He . graduated at that institution in March, 1866, secured a position in Blockley Hospital and in a chemical laboratory in Kensington ; passed an examination for the army and navy, and was suddenly called home in June, 1866, by the precarious state of his father's health.
