Second Generation Goehrings

ANDREW J. AND SOFIA HOFF-GOEHRING FAMILY

Andrew J. Goehring was born January 18, 1874, in South Russia to Jacob and Katharina Goehring. He was a horseherd in a "darf' until he was ten years old, when he came to America with his parents and four sisters. They landed in the U.S. in May 1884, and came to Hutchinson County, near Freeman, South Dakota where they settled on a farm.
On June 27, 1897, he was united in marriage to Sofia Hoff, who had been born March 12, 1878 near Freeman, South Dakota. Shortly thereafter they filed on a government homestead in Charles Mix County. In 1906 Andrew and family moved to Bridgewater where he and his father conducted an International farm implement and equipment business. In 1909 he came to Hyde County and located on a farm in Lincoln Township where Carl Ashdown now lives. Twelve children were born to this union:

Emma died at 7 years with diphtheria;

Andrew, Jr. who lived in Hyde County and Oakland, California where he died August 23, 1964;

Anna married Ira Smith and died in San Diego, California on August 31, 1971;

Emil farmed in Hyde County and worked for various farmers here until his death in Miller on Feb.5, 1974.

Kathryn married Victor (Bud) Stoner and lives at El Cajon, California;

Emma married George Smith and lives at St. Onge, South Dakota;

Adeline married Orpheus Weniger and died January 1962 in Kevin, Montana;

Arthur died at Mitchell on October 23, 1934;

Alvin was accidentally shot and killed when kids were playing with a gun in April 1920, when he was 10 years old;

Martha married George Huss and lives in Huron, South Dakota;

Viola married George DeLong and died in Huron on September 27, 1967;

Edwin lives in Denver, Colorado.

Sofia passed away on June 28, 1919, in childbirth. She was a hard-working, patient, kind, and loving mother, a wonderful cook and seamstress. After her death it was up to Kathryn and the younger girls to care for the family as Anna was married and away from home. It was quite a responsibility and lots of hard work. Eight loaves of bread had to be baked twice a week and sometimes more. There was cooking for threshers, raising chickens, gardening, washing, household chores, etc. etc.
Andrew was a hard worker and very versatile. He did blacksmith work, shoe repairing, harness mending, carpentry, mechanics, butchering, and animal husbandry. Many times he did blacksmith work and other things for neighbors at his own expense and never received payment. He liked his homemade wine and beer. He was intelligent and did much reading. Unlike many immigrants from older countries in central Europe, he was quick to accept and adopt new ideas and methods. He was stern, fair, kind, and strict. He didn't spare the rod with his children. He was musical and played the violin, accordion, and harmonica, which gave the family a little entertainment and a break from the hard work, heartaches, and sadness. He loved to hunt prairie chickens, pheasants, and cottontails.
A minister came occasionally to hold services at the school three miles from home. He would come to dinner and Andrew loved to argue obscure points of the Bible with him. When the minister was absent Andrew would sometimes take over the services.
On December 12, 1920, Andrew married Emma (Hintz) Rittel who had been born on a farm near Parkston, South Dakota on April 23, 1887. She had five children from her previous marriage to David J. Rittel of Bowdle, South Dakota who died November 7, 1918. The children were:

William, who lives in Sturgis;

Arthur, who lives in Highmore;

Esther, Mrs. Harley Dalton, of Highmore;

Adeline, who married George Hirsch and then William Schuette, and passed away November 30,1973 at Highmore;

Daniel who lives at Anoka, Minnesota.

Emma was a kind, gentle person but of strong will. She was motherly, but like people of German ancestry there was no public show of affection.
Andrew and Emma had four children: 1. Raymond, who lives in Ft. Pierre; 2. Agnes, who married Virgil Stuart and lives in Ventura, California; 3. Ruth is married to Merle Westcott and lives in Sioux Falls; and 4. Bernard lives at Great Falls, Montana.
Andrew died very suddenly early in the morning at his farm on March 23, 1930, from heart failure.
Emma died at her home in Highmore on August 28, 1950.
