Notes per Jean Lucke:
Frank German was born April 12, 1865 and died November 26, 1939. In 1887 he married Emma Knippen. Emma was born May 16, 1871 and died April 26, 1951. both are buried at St. Joseph Cemetery, Fort Jennings, Ohio.
Frank and Emma lived a happy and contented life on their farm in Jackson Township, Putnam County. Here they had eight children:
Anna German born September 27, 1890
Isidora German born January 20, 1893
Frances German born January 20, 1897
Henry German born April 16, 1900
William German born August 3, 1903
Valeta German who died May 11, 1909 at the age of 9 months, 11 days
Vincent German who died June 28, 1910 at the age of 1 month, 4 days
Gilbert German born August 23, 1911
Like other people at that time they exchanged threshing help with their neighbors. They also had a small horse powered cane press on their farm for making sorghum molasses. Neighbors went there to have their molasses made.
Emma was a religious lady. Her nieces and nephews remember her with as a promoter for the Crusaders Almanac. She always had religious articles from the Holy Land in her home.
At one time in her life she would knit wool sweaters which were chanced off for the benefit of Saint Joseph Church, Fort Jennings, Ohio. Once her nephew, Arnold German, (Lewis's son) was fortunate enough to win one of Emma's sweaters. He wore the sweater for many a year.
Emma kept bust all the time. The long winter evenings were spent knitting socks and sweaters and making quilts and comforts. She was one of the few ladies in the community who could take a raw fleece to wool, wash, comb, card and spin it into wool yarn.
Even after frank and Emma retired to the village of Fort Jennings, Ohio, Emma working at her spinning wheel was a familiar sight.
