1920 US Census - Julius Yunghans

While searching for the 1940 US Census, I was able to track down a few previous census records I had been missing.     Below is the 1920 US Census for Julius Yunghans.

Julius (line 92, second family from the the bottom) was living with wife Minnie (Kirsch) and their two children, Marie and Arthur in the city of Vincennes, Knox county, Indiana.

Julius was employed as a cigar maker, most likely working for his father, Emil Yunghans at the Yunghans Cigar factory.    The occupation of daughter Marie is listed as "sales woman" at a five and dime store.

Julius was the eldest son of Julia (Kolb) and Emil Heinrich Junghans/Yunghans and the grandson of Christliebe (Kuehn) and Carl Heinrich Junghans.

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.

E H Yunghans Cigars

My great grandfather Paul's older brother had moved from Germany to Indiana. I never knew anything about him until a couple of years ago when I was provided his family tree that I organized onto the spreadsheet I had started to create in 2005.

Other than family members mentioning a couple of the Junghans brothers had lived in Vincennes, Indiana and changed the spelling to Yunghans, the only document I'd seen was a reference in an obituary to a brother living in Vincennes. Once I was provided the names, I then came across Emil's passport application which was posted yesterday. Hopefully I'll locate more and post those as I find them.

I discovered this document a couple of days ago about the cigar company he owned in Indiana.





In spite of the misspellings of the name, these types of documents are invaluable for confirming information and opening the door to other avenues of research.

I came across this article from a book published in 1902, "Vincennes in Pictures and Story".
