Of the six children, the eldest was Anna, age ten [Possibly Tony (Son) - 1880 Mankato Census - mee], and Conrad the youngest, an infant of only eleven months. Although the family left Hamburg on a ship named Cambria, they would sail on several other ships before arriving at their final destination at Ellis Island in New York City on January 6, 1871. Shortly after arriving in America, Lorenz took his family to settle in Mankato, Minnesota, where he worked his trade as a blacksmith. While his sons, Louis, Conrad and Lorenz, were growing up in Mankato he taught them his blacksmith trade. The brothers would eventually form several businesses of their own. They first opened a blacksmith shop, and then a machine shop and several years later added a foundry under the collective name of The Mayer Bros. Lorenz, Sr. and Catherine would remain in Mankato for the rest of their lives. Lorenz passed away at the age of eighty-five.
