Reminiscences of the John J. H. Uhlenkott Family and of Mr. Henry Forsmann, Sr.

Description

From Germany to Illinois, and finally to Keuterville, these are some of the recollected stories of two German Catholic families who set down roots in the late 1800s. Many other family names still seen on the Camas Prairie are intertwined in this history. These reminiscences were gleaned in the 1990s from a series of articles published in the 1930s periodical called The Echo of St. Gertrudes. They trace the movements of early settlers and bring to life the drive to carve out a better life, despite hardship, and as always, buoyed by faith.
