Julius came to the US with his parents, two brothers, Otto and Andrew(he was born right after arriving in the US) and two sisters Emma and Anna. Julius's father, Andreas died, we believe, in Houston TX or he may have made it further North.
We believe that Neuteig Germany, at that time, was near Berlin.
Kay, daughter of Julius & Annie, tells us the following: She remembered her Mother telling her that her Daddy left home at an early age and went to Vernon, TX. He only went to school 3 years and while in school he had been a class clown. He was probably bored to death as he already knew everything they were teaching. He was a very smart man. She believed that Julius and Annie Marie met in Vernon, Wilbarger Co., TX after 1905 when she move there with her father. Henry Kuehn, Annie's father, ran Julius off with a shot gun and wouldn't let them get married. (of course we know that they did eventually get married) Julius was a very civic minded person. He served on the school board, Grand Jury and did all the things a good citizen does. Then WWI came along and he went to sign up and found out he was NOT an American citizen and at the age of 39 years filed a Declaration of Intention form 2203, US Dept of Labor, Naturalization to become a citizen. This was signed on 12 Sep 1918. By the time he got his papers the war was over. Kay's Mother laughed when she told Kay the story. She thought it was funny.
On 18 Nov 1921 they moved to Iowa Park TX. On the 31 Oct 1925 Julius bought 160 acres, more or less, in Cantro County near Amarillo TX. To Kay's knowledge Julius never got anything paid for. He loved machinery to much. He was always buying and building equipment.
They lived on the Hodges place for 9 years. He did drink a bit much at times. He found he couldn't stay on the "cap rock" because of high blood pressure. This was the beginning of his illness. They moved from farm to farm sharecropping.
Julius was a Christian.
