Notes:

Andreas Jann reached New York aboard the Statesman out of Le Havre, France on July 12th, 1850. His name is listed in the ship manifest (#228 | age: 27 | country: Hesse | occupation: Farmer). As it was the usage at that time, his firstname has been translated into the americanized form, Andrew. He stayed in New York three years where he married Eva Horn, then moved in 1856 to Iowa City, Iowa. Andrew Jann was one of the founders of the Germain Aid society of this city. In 1860, the company he worked for moved to Des Moines, so he was transferred to this city where he lived until his death. Andrew Jann (and his sons) are mentioned in successive editions (1866 to 1900) of the Des Moines City Directory. Andrew’s daughter, Henrietta, wrote a very colourful description of the family adventures from New York to Iowa City and Des Moines (follow link below).

Andreas married Eva Margarethe HORN on 1 Apr 1853 in New York, New York. Eva was born on 25 Apr 1830 in Ummenstadt, Saxony, Germany; died on 20 Dec 1892; was buried in Woodland Cemetery, Des Moines, Polk, Iowa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From the Iowa City Citizen, November 24, 1909 :
Adam Gill was born in Homburg, Germany, in 1828, and came to America in 1854, landing in New York City, where he remained until 1855. While there he met Jacob Hötz Sr., the father of our present alderman. Mr. Gill and several others were considering locating in the west and Mr. Hötz informed them that he was going west. They therefore concluded to wait until they could have a report from him as to the prospect. After reaching Iowa he wrote to them to come, and in 1855 Mr. Gill came to Iowa City and has since resided here. He was married in 1857, and has three sons and two daughters, his wife having died thirtheen years ago. Mr. Gill was a tailor by trade and for many years followed that occupation. In 1866 he opened a restaurant and conducted it until 1884. He is one of the most active members of the German Aid society, taking a keen interest in its affairs. He has held offices in the organization at various times and always very efficiently. He was elected president a number of times during the period of his fifty years of membership.

Adam married Katharina BARTH on 4 Apr 1857 in Johnson, Iowa. Katharina was born on 25 Jul 1830 in Dirmstein Worms, Frankenthal, Bavaria, Germany; died on 25 Nov 1896 in Iowa City, Johnson, Iowa; was buried in Oakland Cemetery, Iowa City, Johnson, Iowa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

MEMOIR WRITTEN BY HENRIETTA C. SMITH
Omaha – November 25, 1935    Henrietta C. Jann Smith was born in New York January 13, 1854. In 1856 my father and mother moved to Iowa City, Iowa. They had just lost a two-month-old baby boy. There were three families: the Janns; the Hoetzes with two children and Grandma Hoetz; and the Groegler family. Also, two children and three unmarried men. One was my father’s half brother, Adam Gill, who I was very fond of and he liked me.
 They thought it would be best to move to a new country. Could live much cheaper and work than in New York. Father, Mother, and Uncle Gill had just received their share of money from their home in Germany. Mr. Hoetz was a carpenter so he built an eight room house. Uncle got married. Each had two rooms but the carpenter wanted his money. Did many things to destroy the property. At last the three others offered to buy his share. He wanted what it cost to build it, all four shares. They at last gave it to him. He built a much nicer house for himself at the next corner, but did not live long. My brother was born but passed away in 1859, the year sister Margaret was born.
 Father worked in a large stagecoach shop. In 1860 the company moved to Des Moines, Iowa, so Father was transferred. He went ahead of the family until he could find a place to live in Des Moines. Came back after us in two months, packed our household goods, sent them ahead on a big transfer wagon.
 One morning at 4 o’clock there was a stagecoach at Uncle’s door, (where we stayed after our goods had gone). Father, Mother, baby sister and myself started fro our new home, Des Moines. I loved my uncle -- was hard to part from them and little boy.
 Well, a long trip for only 125 miles. They changed horses every 25 miles. We were always glad to get out (and) walk to some spring or well for a drink of water while they were getting the horses ready. Sometimes a new driver. I do not remember any other woman besides my mother or children besides little Margaret or as we called her then, Dodie or Gretchen. We had the back seat (first class) for the trip. It was war time. There was one soldier with us. We had some lunch with us. Stopped at a tavern for supper, some of the meals, Grimmell one place. Drove until next day in the afternoon, 4 o’clock. 125 miles make it now in about three hours or less. When we arrived at the state office in Des Moines, very tired.
 They took us to my father’s boarding house. We had a nice large room. Good German meals. We had to stay two weeks until our goods came, then we moved into a small house with another family on the other side who we knew as they also came from Iowa City. Mr. Seburger (sp?) also worked for the stage company.
 Well, it was September. You could not get much to put up for winter. A few tomatoes. Mother made jam and pickles and half bushel apples bought from a man in a covered wagon from Missouri.
 I had five brothers and three sisters. Three brothers died when young. Sister Louly when she was four years old. August, the oldest to live married, passed away at 68. Albert, the youngest child, never married, died in 1905.
 There are we three sisters left. Pearl, 72 a widow, lives in her house alone. Margaret, 76, also a widow, lives with her daughter, Margaret Alden and family. Myself, now 82, oldest of family, live with my oldest daughter, Martha (Smith) Erion and family. Have a very good and comfortable home. Had many friends and good neighbors, but not many left now.
 Well, Christmas was coming and afraid we could get no evergreen tree then like now. So my father went out in the woods, got a wild cherry tree, kept it in limewater six weeks, did now some green. Could not get wax candles so he had some holders made, cut large candles in half. Bought gold leaf for nuts and apples. Mother baked and frosted cookies with anise. We were the only children who had a Christmas tree.
 Well, we got a larger house. Sister Pearl was born in May. In June little brother Andrew passed away. Next year Father put up a shop for himself, but soon it was war time. Father had so much work. Had to have more room so he bought some land from Reverend Bird, the First Presbyterian minister in Des Moines, built a small house and shop room for eight workmen and lumber and tools. Later put up a brick house. We children had an old stagecoach for a playhouse. When it rained we put down the curtains. Had so much fun.
 Right back of our place was an old farm, part was an old cemetery. All kinds of wild fruit, one of the biggest walnut trees I ever saw. Everybody came for nuts in the fall. We always gathered a barrel full. The old man who owned it finally sold the place to the City. They opened Second Street, dug up the graves they could find, built a City Hall and fire barn.
 Father had all kinds of vehicles for repair. Carriages, peddler wagons, ever hearses. Father did very fine and the best work; good material. Made all the farmers’ wagons for miles around. Got $165 for a wagon without paint. That was before there were any factories in the East, but one could soon get a wagon for $65 ready for use. He had to let his men go, had little work for himself.
 I went to public school and two years to German church school. Joined German Lutheran church at 12; later was a charter member of the English Lutheran, first one in Des Moines. I had a nice young life mostly with the Germans until I met Henry Smith in about 1875. Never was in his company until a few months before we were married on July 1, 1877. I had four children: Mattie (Martha) born 1878, Carl 1879, Etta 1881, and Nora in 1882. We lived in Davenport. We moved to Nebraska in 1887; lost my Etta in 1888.
 Mattie (Martha) married Dee Erion in 1899. Carl, I think married 1901, Nora 1903. Carl and May had Dorothy. We moved on the Clark place about 1906, then on the farm at Council Bluffs in 1910. Back to Omaha in 1913. Henry was sick; we lived with Carl (Smith) for a year. Henry got worse. We moved to Bellevue in 1915. Papa got some better and lived until 1918. Nora went to O’Neill, Nebraska and taught at St. Mary’s Academy. The next year she could not get a place for us to live so I stayed with Mattie (Martha). Little Ruth was sick, Mattie was in the hospital. Ruthie left us Nov. 6, then Mary and Dan were down with scarlet fever so we could not get out for six or seven weeks. Then I went to O’Neill and kept house for Nora, then came back the next year. Have been with Mattie (Martha) since. Nora was here until 1934 when she went to New York to live.
 I have not been doing much of anything, only hand work the last four years. I have a good comfortable home. Everyone is kind to me. My only trouble is if I could only do something in return for all that has been done for me. My children and grandchildren are all kind -- do all they can. Mattie (Martha) gives me everything to make me comfortable and dear Dee has never given me a cross word. Carl (Smith) and Nora do all they can. I miss Nora. We have lived together so much she understands me best.
 I am well at 82 years. Much better than I was when younger. I am a member of the Dundee Presbyterian Church, love all the people there, love my Bellevue friends.
 I did not have anything to do today so just wanted to see how much I could remember. I hope no one will see it -- bad writing and spelling afraid.
 I love my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and my dear friends and sisters and their families. Many thanks and love to all.
 Signed: Henrietta Smith
