  • Charles immigrated to the United States during the early 1850's. It is thought that Charles made the journey ahead of his mother, and two sisters, Katherine and Varonika "Fanny", with Charles earning money to send to them in Germany. Katherine and her sister reportedly came to the United States in 1852. Charles was married to his first wife, Catharine Offenbeck, on 10 November 1857; it is believed that she died in childbirth. It is thought that Louisa, too, was widowed, prior to marrying Charles.

    Katherine Wellenreiter married George Grabb, and Fanny Wellenreiter married John Paulus. Additional information about their families will be available when the GED files are created for this site. We do not know what happened to their mother.

  • Louisa came to the United States in 1846, when she was about six years old. We know nothing of Louisa's parents, and have not been able to locate information about the Hoelzle family in Chillicothe or nearby communities. It is thought that Louisa had a brother, Martin, who died as a soldier, possibly during the Civil War.

  • Charles' oldest son, Charles, changed the spelling of his last name to "Wellenraiter" sometime after moving to Chicago.
