Immigration: Abt. 1854 - Wise, Justus, Shelby County Naturalization
Records 1814-1906, Vol. 6, p 100
From Shelby County Naturalization records:
Be it remembered that on the Twenty Ninth day of October AD 1856,
personally appeared before me Saml McCowan Clerk of the Court of Common
Pleas within and for said County and State, Justice Wise, an Alien a
Native of Amsterdam in Holland and subject of William 3 King of Holland
or Netherlands, who being sworn according to law on his oath doth
declare and say that it is bonafide his intention to become a citizen
of the United States and to renounce forever all allegiance and
fidelity to any foreign Prince, Potentate, State or Sovereignty
whatever and more particularly all allegiance and fidelity to William 3
King of Holland, whose subject he is. Thereupon his papers of Intention
were issued in due form of Law October 28th, 1856.
...............................
Justice married 1832. His second wife, buried at Lutheran cemetery in
Lock Two, but I cannot find it. I believe they left Falkenhagen then
and went to Holland to live, or maybe when he married). The turmoil and
persecutions in Lippy-Detmold (and Falkenhagen) at the time of leaving
for Holland were very bad. He married Margarethe Wilke(or Louise b 3-
26-1797?). When Christoph died, Justice came to America, taking August
Wise, Sr. along. They are buried in back of Fort Loramie church. The
Wilkes and Henkes were good friends to Wises up to my grandfather’s
death in 1946, (August J. Wise).
When they arrived, they followed the path of immigrating lowland
speaking people (that is why my grandparents spoke "high German, Low
German and German). The path came down the Ohio River (maybe) to
Cincinnati (pig town) were the population was 95% German. Cincinnati
was the largest pork producing and slaughtering city in the new world.
From Cincinnati the committees set up there directed them up the Miami-
Erie Canal to Berlin (named Fort Loramie during WWI for Peter Loramie
who had a trading post there to trade guns and supplies and whiskey to
the Indians, who got drunk and raided the settlers.) General Anthony
Wayne and some of my Davidson side destroyed the Fort and opened the
land to German settlers.
Justice bought and sold land and made much money. One plot he owned in
1847 by Lake Loramie (which was a man made lake to feed the canal
1 November 2009 Modified Register for Christoph Weisse Page 3
water) See McLean twp map from Western Reserve Historical Society
(called Wyse then) Justice bought the sawmill just 1 mile North of
Loramie from Conrad (brother in law) Brucken about 1881 I think from
him or the estate.
In 1892 Wise Sr. (Weisse, Wyse, Weiss, Weise, Weis and Wise) moved the
mill equipment to town at the present bank location, built a new
building and it operated there until after WWII. The sawmill was steam
powered. It was an awesome sight with all the belts and pulleys
operating machines off a central shaft. Milling machines made fancy
things. Potato and apple crates and building lumber was the main
products. There were many sawmills in the Loramie area at that time,
but none could compete and eventually closed. The move to Loramie was
next to the Canal that would take wood products as far as Toledo and
Cincinnati and points in between. The pack boats were the only cheap
and fast (2 mph) transport to points North and South. From Toledo they
went on steamers on Lake Erie. From Cincinnati they went up and down
the Ohio and Mississippi. But the Truck put the Canal out of business.
I forget the date, between after the turn of the century or WWI. My
mother told me of seeing the last Pac boat going. That had to be
between 1910 and 1928. The saw mill burnt down about 1944. A new one
was built of metal.

An eulogy on Ed Wise: by Jim Davidson
Ed wise was born on 2 November, 1908. He was raised in
Fort Loramie, Ohio. His parents were August and
Katherine (Reiss) Wise. His grandparents immigrated from
Germany in 1850.
He attended the Minster schools (before Loramie had a
school). Minster was three miles North and Ed rode the
"Tunnerville Trolly" back and forth. When Fort Loramie
built a school Ed finished up there.
He worked with his father in the lumbering business, but
in his recreation he hunted and fished at Lake Loramie
where they had a cottage. Ice skating on the canal in
the Winter, with his five sisters, was a favorite
pastime.
Upon graduating from High School Ed went to the
University of Dayton (probably where the school got the
reputation of a party school) in 1926. After two years
the depression affected his father's business
dramatically and Ed was forced to take a job. Ed found
new pursuits. He took a job at Frigidaire in Dayton and
courted his future wife. Ed married Sophia Rhenkamp a
beautiful farmer's daughter of Fort Loramie in 1928. As
the depression got worse, Frigidaire was only operating
two and three days a week. He often told me of his pony
that he had to sell when he came to work at Frigidaire
in Dayton.
I met Ed Wise for the first time on 22 March 1932. He
was waiting to meet me upon my arrival to Dayton, Ohio.
Ed would come often to visit me. This meant walking
across town, as he did not have a car yet. And if he did
have a car, gas was so high that he could not afford it.
It was 10 cents a gallon, but in the depression days,
that was a lot of money. Ed worked at the different
plants that General motors had in Dayton, (but mostly at
Plant 1 Frigidaire). One time, in telling me what he was
doing he said that he had to do was put two nuts on a
1 November 2009 Modified Register for Christoph Weisse Page 19
bolt, one on each end at the same time. He said that
took some getting used to.
During the war (WWII) he helped make 50 caliber machine
guns for the Army. The war years were the exact opposite
of the depression years. He had to work eight and twelve
hours a day, seven days a week for five years. Ed was
forty-three at the start of the war and these hours were
hard, on health and camping.
The war work made one feel very patriotic and wealthy
because everything was either rationed or just not
available. But one could always buy war bonds and Ed
bought a lot of them. Ed was a bit old for the draft and
had an important War Industries job, so they did not
call him up. During these times when industry needed
every available hand to make war material, Supervisors
even roamed the streets recruiting any unemployed
people. Ed said that some employees even worked and
slept in the factory, never leaving.
After the War things got back to normal. GI's returned
and People bought refrigerators and air conditioners and
Ed moved back to six days a week.
There was always a "get together". There would be a keg
of beer and all the relation that could make it. But
there were also parties for the younger generation.
The traditional Fourth of July get together was the
biggest and best every year, second only to the
Christmas party. One day in 1970 I was talking to Ed and
he told me that he was retiring.
It seems that a fellow worker mentioned to Ed at lunch
hour that he could retire if he wanted to. Ed said
"retire"? "Sure, sounds like a good idea". So Ed put in
for retirement and bought a motor home to camp as he
always wanted to. From then of we saw very little of Ed.
As my Godfather, Ed will be well remembered by both of
our tributes.
He was truly a joyful, loving man that I remember as the
Johnny Appelseed of our family; for when he was present
he was always spreading and planting mirth, comradeship
and love, but never any uncomplimentary or distasteful
remarks. He was the patriarch of the family because
everyone (his mother and six sisters) looked up to him
for direction.
I do remember an incident at his father’s funeral
breakfast (before church), when his cup of coffee broke
in two as he took a sip, burning his chest and staining
his tie, shirt and pants. Here was a remarkable display
of complete control and humility for all. No outbursts,
just smiles, a little joke and acceptance.
If you would ever travel through Loramie, in front of
the hotel there is a fireplug. One day on the way to
school he was showing off and he leapfrogged over the
fireplug, but not high or far enough and he had a very
painful landing on top of the plug.
Edward married (MRIN:650) Sophia Ruhenkamp-1344. Sophia was born in 1909. She
died in 1975 in Dayton, Montgomery, Ohio, United States. She was buried in New St.

.................................................
The following was taken from the "History of Shelby County and
representative citizens" by A. B. C. Hitchcock.
Joseph V. Gaier, a general farmer and respected citizen of Cynthian
township, who owns seventy-six acres situated in section 18, Basinburg
Special School district, One-quarter mile east of St. Mary's turnpike
road, was born in McLean township, Shelby county, December 26, 1877,
and is a son of Jacob and Louisa (Wise) Gaier.
Jacob Gaier was a farmer throughout his active years and resided in
Shelby county where he was a man well known and much respected. He
died when age sixty-five years and his burial was in the cemetery
attached to St. Michael's Catholic church at Fort Loramie, he having
been a member of that church. He was twice married and two children
were born to his first union and seven to the second.
Joseph V. Gaier attended school in boyhood in the Berlin district and
then helped his father on the home farm in McLean township until his
marriage, when he settled on his present place where he has carried on
general farming and stock raising ever since. He remodeled and
repaired the buildings and made many improvements and has a home and
farm in which he justly takes pride, all of his land being under
cultivation except ten acres in timber.
Mr. Gaier married Miss Elizabeth Barhorst, a daughter of Joseph
Barhorst of McLean township, and they have one daughter, Helen
Elizabeth. Mr. Gaier and family belong to St. Michael's Catholic
church at Fort Loramie. Like his late father he is a democrat but has
never desired public office of any kind. He is a quiet, industrious
farmer, one who attends to his own business and performs his duty as a
citizen according to his best judgment.
Joseph married (MRIN:8419) Josephina ?-27174 about 1893. Josephina was born about 1870 in Ohio.
They had the following children.
72 F i. Anna Gaier-27175 was born about 1893 in Ohio.
73 M ii. Julius Gaier-27178 was born about 1903 in Ohio.
74 F iii. Leona Gaier-27179 was born about 1908 in Ohio.

Information obtained from the following: Dorothy Landauer
Fred Henke was born at Fort Loramie, Ohio on August 7, 1861, and died
at Dalton, Nebraska, on Sunday, January 14, 1940 at 6:45 p.m. He was
aged 79 years, 5 months and 7 days at the time of death. He grew to
manhood in the Fort Loramie locality and on October 28, 1890, was
united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Kongs, who died at Seneca,
Kansas in 1903. Mr. and Mrs. Henke lived near Seneca for a short time.
Eight children were born to the union, one daughter dying in infancy.
Surviving are Henry and Peter Henke of Dalton, Mrs. Anna Schimmel and

grandchildren are two brothers and four sisters: Joe and John of Fort
Loramie, Ohio, Mrs. Margaret Drees of the same city, and Mrs. Anna
Hilgefort, Mrs. Mary Bernholt and Mrs. Rose Stueve of Dayton, Ohio.
Mr. Henke engaged in farming until advancing years forced his
retirement from active work. In 1922 he came to Dalton to make his home
with his sons, and this continued to be his home until his death.
Last summer one of Mr. Henke's legs was severely burned in a gasoline
fire, and he did not seem to recover fully from the burns. He was a
pleasant character who enjoyed conversing with friends, and his
greatest delight was when he was in the presence of children.
Fred, a son from Elgin, arrived Wednesday to be present at funeral
services held yesterday morning from St. Mary's Catholic church. Rev.
Jas. P. Fullam, the pastor, officiated. Interment was made in the local
cemetery.

HENRY & STELLA HENKE
Henry C. Henke was born July 30, 1891 at Ft. Loramie, OH; he died at
Alliance, NE July 30, 1958.
At about 17 years of age he moved to Seneca, KS; after a short stay
there he moved to Elgin, NE where he worked for area farmers. This is
where he met his future wife, Stella Hoefer. She was born in Iowa and
had moved to Elgin, NE area at a young age.
Henry worked at Elgin for farmer, John Pelster, who had purchased land
in western Nebraska, west of Dalton. About 1916 Henry went to Dalton to
work for Mr. Pelster, where he broke horses and ran an Altman-Taylor
steam engine breaking sod. One of the things he talked about was a trip
to Cheyenne, WY, for Frontier Days; must have been a wild ride and a
wild town.
In late 1918 he returned to Elgin, NE, where he married Stella Hoefer,
on February 12, 1919. They rented a farm south and east of Elgin. Two
children were born there, Marcella in 1919 and Raymond in 1022. Soon
after they moved to Dalton where they lived for about a year on what
was known as the Hayden place, south and west of Dalton. In late 1923
they moved seven miles west of Dalton to a farm known as the Dunn
place, after the name of the man that built the place in about 1916.
Mr. Dunn sold the land to a Mr. Carson who was then Governor of Iowa.
Henry rented the land under the management of National Farmers Company
until his death in 1958.
Seven more children were born at this place: Rita in 1925; Lloyd in
1927; Joseph in 1929; Marie in 1931; Cyril in 1935; Donald in 1939; and
James in 1943.
Marcella, Raymond, Rita, Lloyd and James graduated from Dalton High
School; Joseph, Marie, Cyril, Donald graduated from St. Patrick's in
Sidney.
Henry, Stella and family were active in St. Mary's Catholic Church in
1 November 2009 Modified Register for Christoph Weisse Page 69
Dalton. Most of the children were active in 4-H Clubs and community
doings. Baseball was the favorite pastime, and Raymond would ride his
pony to town in order to practice, while chores waited until he got
home. Three of the Henke children are college graduates; two others had
teaching degrees. Four of the boys served in the Armed Forces. Only
one, Raymond, remained a farmer. He farmed on his own and worked for
his dad until his dad's death in 1958. Stella moved to Dalton in 1959
and lived there until her death in 1966. Raymond continued to farm the
land until 1965 when it was sold by owners to Mr. Art Baack of Potter,
NE.
Three of the Henke children remain in Nebraska; the others are in
Colorado, Tennessee, New Mexico, Wyoming and Australia.
There are 27 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren of Henry and
Stella Henke. These families still get together for family reunions
about every four years. The last one in 1984 saw 77 in attendance.

'Doorway to nature' attracts hundreds
Environmental Education Center opens to public
By KATI BEXLEY
Publication Date: 09/25/05, St. Augustine Record
Colin Meyer, 8, who is home-schooled, used St. Johns
County's salt marshes and wetlands as his classroom.
Meyer joined hundreds of people who on Saturday packed
to overflowing the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National
Estuarine Research Reserve's new 21,000-square-foot
Environmental Education Center during its grand opening.
The newly built center is about eight miles north of
Vilano Beach off State Road A1A.
The reserve spans three rivers and 60,000 acres of salt
marsh, wetlands and estuarine lagoons -- the former
Guana River State Park.
"I like the hammerhead sharks," Meyer said of a life-
size shark model dangling from the Education Center's
ceiling. "I like playing all the quiz games, too."
The center features stations with question games about
animals and wildlife. Meyer took quizzes on each one
with his father, Miles Meyer, who is also his teacher.
"This is school for him today," Miles said. "They have
great exhibits with interaction that really helps you
1 November 2009 Modified Register for Christoph Weisse Page 109
learn more."
The $6.2 million project was funded through county,
state and federal governments.
U.S. Rep. John Mica, R-Winter Park, who spoke at the
reserve's grand opening, said the center and reserve
help provide understanding and wildlife preservation.
"This is a doorway to nature," Mica said. "The important
thing is young people; our children will better
understand nature from this."
The reserve is one of 26 in the nation and the third in
Florida, said Kenneth Berk, reserve environmental
administrator.
"A lot of collaboration between several agencies went
into this," he said. "We even had $200,000 in private
donations for the reserve."
Reserves were established six years ago by the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA placed a
satellite in front of the Education Center that will be
used for scientific measurements such as tide levels,
Berk said.
Upcoming programs scheduled for the reserve include a
bird-spotting walk, a fire and ecology workshop and a
hunter safety course.
Miles Meyer is also a marine science professor at
Jacksonville University. He looks forward to using the
reserve as a study guide for his college students.
"I teach an introductory class. Some people have a hard
time with the concepts of how marine life interacts," he
said. "(The reserve) will show them that."
