NOTES

Herman Stellpflug arrived in New York in July 1845 and became a naturalized citizen on 25 April 1855 in West Bend, Wisconsin. He was killed in the family barn when it was knocked down in a violent summer storm.

Elizabeth Heppe arrived in the United States in 1844 accompanied by her brother Franz Heppe who was born on 8 January 1820 in Germany and died 2 November 1875 in Slinger, Wisconsin.

Their son Franz Stellpflug then inherited the family farm upon Herman's death. Another son, John Stellpflug, was engaged to be married to Ella McLaughlin but he died from tuberculosis before the marriage could take place. A number of Herman and Elizabeth Heppe Stellpflug's daughters moved to Chicago as young women to seek employment as domestics and subsequently settled, married, had children, and eventually died there.

John Stellpflug was engaged to be married to Ella McLaughlin but died of tuberculosis before the marriage took place.
