Yunghans cigars

Last year I posted about the cigar company owned by Emil Yunghans, the eldest brother of my great grandfather, Paul Richard Junghans.

Here are some photos of the cigar boxes, provided by Daniel Yunghans, the great great grandson of Emil.










Norman Yunghans, the grandson of Emil later used the box to store nuts and bolts.

Carl Yunghans immigration

I may have found the passenger list for Christliebe (Kuehn) and Carl Heinrich Junghans'  second son, Carl Yunghans traveling from Bremen, Germany to New York City on the ship, Elbe.































There is a Carl Junghanz listed (2nd from the bottom) though Carl would have been 24 (not 26) at the time the ship arrived in New York on April 14, 1883.

While it's difficult to make out, the 1910 US Census indicates Carl immigrated in either 1882 or 1883.

Carl Frederick Yunghans marriage

I had posted previously about Carl F Yunghans the second son of Carl Heinrich Junghans and Christliebe Kuehn,  who married Hannah Kerlifofaky on November 8, 1905 in Marion, Indiana.

I found another document which not only provided the middle name for Carl (prior to today, I only had an "F") but also confirms Christliebe's last name Kuehn (or Kuhn) even though it's misspelled.





































This document also provides additional confirmation that Emil, Carl, Otto and Paul were all the sons of
Carl Heinrich Junghans and Christliebe Kuehn.
