    Notes 
    • Notes from Edith Jacobs:
      Came to Texas after the 2 Heinrichs, Wilhelmine and her 1st husban died to join her sisters and brother.
      They arrived in Texas on Dec. 24, 1863. The journey had been prolonged by very bad weather and the ship having been hung up in the Gulf of Mexico on sand bars and no wind. Her brother, Peter, was to have met her in Indianola, but, on the way he was killed by Indians. Katherine and her 2 daughters finally made their way to Meyersville to join her sister Luiese (Louise in Texas). Later she joined another sister, Maria, in Yorktown.

      Notes from Web:
      George Wilhelm died in Erndtebrueck at about the same time that Justine Strohmann died in Texas.
      Catherine decided to come to America to join with family members who had arrived earlier.
      Catherine and her daughters arrived in Texas on Dec. 24, 1868. Their ship got stuck on a sand bar off the Texas coast for a few weeks. They finally landed at Powderhorn, or Indianola as it was called.
      Catherine was to meet her brother Peter in Indianola. But on his way there, he was ambushed by Indians and killed. He is buried somewhere between Yorktown and Indianola.
      Catherine and her sisters eventually made their way to Meyersville to join with her sisters Maria and Luiese.
      Catherine and Daniel George Voelkel were married Nov. 11, 1869 at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Meyersville. They lived on the Schmidt's (now Smith) Creek near Yorktown.
