I have found various spellings for the surname. I am not sure how the spelling came to be BARCHENGER.
Christoph was the Master Blacksmith in the village of Kassieck, Saxony, Prussia. Occupations during this time were under the rules of the guilds which regulated the number of occupations in each village. Christoph would have been the only Master Blacksmith in this village. Often, there could also have been an apprentice working with the Master of any occupation. Therefore, his Master Blacksmith status was of great importance.
The family immigrated leaving the Port of Bremen, Germany and arriving at the Port of New York, New York on April 16, 1870 aboard the passenger ship, "SS Union." The family settled on a farm near Lake Henry, Minnesota. Here Christoph was both a blacksmith and farmer.
He was preceded in death by his young daughter, Friederike Wilhelminie Barchenger, who died of scarlet fever; daughter, Friedericka Mara (Fredrick) Holler, who died in a house fire; and daughter-in-law, Emma Koenemann (Gustav) Barchenger.
He was survived by his wife; 3 sons, Herman (Catherine Kind) Barchenger, William (Johanna Faust) Barchenger and Gustav (Augusta Leopold) Barchenger; and 1 daughter, Augusta (Carl) Marten.
The funeral took place on October 18, 1895 with burial in the church cemetery.
Obituary (German):
Last Wednesday, a week ago, Christoph Barchenger died at the blessed age of 73 in Lake Henry where he was residing for 24 years. On Friday he was buried (given to the cool bosom of the earth) with many mourners in attendance. His wife and 4 children mourn his death.
