John & his wife Julia came to the US with 3 children (John Jr, Joseph, & August) aboard the SS Polaria. They entered the Port of New York (Ellis Island) on March 25, 1892. Their destination was Wisconsin.

Burial records of these children cannot be found, however, according to their death certificates, they were buried in St Adalbert Cemetery in Milwaukee. After leaving Milwaukee John and Julia settled in the Township of Eau Pleine, Marathon County WI.
John & Julia were farmers and had 7 more sons and 2 daughters. To supplement his family income, John also worked at various saw mills in the area. The men would leave for a few days, cutting and then milling trees. It was on one of these trips that John died.
