He came to the U. S. on the ship Deutschland in April 1873 at the age of 6. He married Katherine/Catherine Schutrum on 8 Oct 1887 in Evangelical Lutheran Christ's Church in Buffalo.
Although married in a Lutheran church, John was raised Catholic, and his children were all baptized Catholic. John and Katherina had 3 boys: John (b. 17 July 1888), George (b. 8 March 1890), and Albert (b. 4 Aug 1894). For the children, these dates of birth are taken from their baptismal entries in St. Mary of Sorrows Catholic Church in Buffalo. For sons George and Albert, the dates of birth on various records are different, but all facts show them to be the correct children.
John died at the age of 42 and was buried from St. Ann's Catholic Church in Buffalo, NY. He is buried in a single grave. His wife is buried with her parents/family in the Buffalo Cemetery (which is adjacent to this cemetery, but not necessarily Catholic).
