Heinrich Theodore Holtey

Theodor Holtey came over from Germany in the late 1800's. According to recently discovered information, Catherine Holtey Hansen found on the internet, Theodor had ten children not just the three I have listed. This is very exciting news for the entire family. I can not wait to put this information on my program. First, I need to verify this information, Cathy and I are both in communication with James Eimers.

According to the 1860 census report for Winneshiek County. At that paticular time Theodor had an estate worth approximately $580 and personal belongings of $200. He lived at this time in the Washington Township, Winneshiek, Iowa.

Theodore has other brothers and sisters according to Joe Holtey, dad's cousin.

In the 1900 census it lists the farm hands working for Theodore Holtey. They are listed as servants. Anna Bauman born April 1878 age 22, Henry Beckman born August 1879 age 20, Julian Mertz born July 1880 age 19.

I thought this would be interesting to know, also in 1900 Theodore was worth in property $10,000 and personal $1,500.

Ossian Obituary, May 20, 1915:

He leaves to mourn two sons William and Bernard of this town, and three daughters, Mrs. William Eimers of Parkston... Mrs. Kathryn Collins of St. Parkston, Mrs. Henry Miller of Ossian, all of whom were present at the funeral.

According to records, Theodore's Catholic name, given at time of Christening, was Heinrich Theodore. Also, because he was a man from Aristocracy and had wealth, chances are that he did not need to regester at the port of entry for immigration. Therefore, we only have family records and Catholic Church records to go off of.

Immigration of Theodore Holtey
Holtey, Theodore and Katharina (Grosse)
Contributor: Joe Holtey (Joseph Holtey)

Theodore Holtey (1825-1915) traveled from Beule, Prussia to Twin Springs (Festina) IA in 1856. He was the first and only Holtey to emigrate from Prussia (today Germany) to the New World. The youngest of 3 children he could not inherit the farm which went to his older brother, so he was paid off, as was the custom at the time, and was permitted to decide what to do with his money.

He joined the one million Germans who came to the Unites States between 1848 and 1858, either to escape the aftermath of the 1848 Revolution, to avoid military service or just for economic reasons—to buy cheap land in the midwestern U.S.

Theodore came from a family which dates back to the 13th Century when a man administering the lands of the knight, von Holtey, decided to assume his master’s name.

In 1400 the town of Essen invested the administrator Holtey with some land which remained in the family until 1972 when the farm was sold.

Theodore was born 9 Oct 1825 in Beule near Bonn, Germany, and not in Essen, because his father Johann had married a woman who owned land in Beule.**

After coming to Iowa, Theodore married Katharina Grosse Sudtelgte on 1 Jul 1858 and settled on a small farm bordering Festina. Two years later he bought 240 acres of better land in Military Twp. By 1864 the farm became the largest in the area with 465 acres. Theodore and Katharina had 9 children: Mary (1859-1860), Caroline (1861-1942), Barney (1863-1948), Katie (1865-1960), Henry (1868-1888), John (1868-1871), Roman (1870-1942), Anna (1872-1959) and William (1875-1932). Of the 9 children, five eventually married. Caroline married Bill Eimers in 1879. They had 10 children, Barney married Elizabeth Gehling of Calmar in 1886. They had no children of their own but were given one of Caroline's sons, Ben, to raise as their own. Katie married John Umhoefer of Cherokee in 1884. They had one son: Theodore. Anna married Henry Miller in 1893. They had 12 children. William married Pauline Becker on 7 Sep 1897. They had 10 children.

Of the Theodore Holtey children, only William the youngest, had sons who would carry on the Holtey name and continue to work the Holtey farm.William bought the farm from his father when he married Pauline. Tragically however they lived on the farm only 3 years before a serious injury crippled William's leg and forced him to move to Ossian.

Nevertheless, the farm stayed in the family.

In 1946 the youngest son, Ralph (Bud), purchased the 320 acre farm from his father. Bud married Carmella Rosenbaum in the same year. They had 3 children. The youngest Jeanie married Karl Zweibohmer and they worked the Holtey farm for 26 years until 1993. Besides Bud, William and Pauline Holtey’s other children who married included: Marie who married Clarence Danielson in 1928. They had no children. Beatta married Elmer Schissel in 1929. They had 6 children. Joseph married Tony Hammang in 1933. They had 6 children. Adelia married Quain Kinsey. They had no children. Bill married Gladys Juen in 1940, they had one child. Frances married Harold Gabel in 1940. They had 5 children.

Joseph remained in Iowa, becoming a well-known Ossian physician and surgeon, who practiced medicine in his hometown from 1933 until his death from cancer in April 1962. Four months later his 23-year old son, Brian, died in a drowning accident in the Mississippi River. The other 5 children are: Warren, MD of Marshfield, Wl; Carol Farr of LaJolla, CA: Joseph of Prescott, AZ; Father Gary of SanDiego, CA; and Jud of Ashland, OR.

Anmerkung. Falls das mit Bonn stimmt, dann ist es BEUEL, BONN - es gibt aber auch eine Beulestr., Horst, Essen, gerade mal am anderen Ufer von Burgaltendorf oder dem Holtey-Hof. Da ich keinen Grund habe dieser Aufzeichnung nicht zu glauben, ist hier die BONN Variante bei den Places eingegeben.
