Jakob and Katharina, First generation Americans

During her reign of Russia in the eighteenth century, Catherine the Great drove through the Ukraine area of South Russia with a general and was impressed by the country and wanted the Ukraine developed for agriculture. She proposed to have Germans settle there and develop the land because the Germans were hard working and productive farmers. Her plan was carried out by her son, Czar Paul, after her death.
Farmers and settlers came from Germany and Switzerland as did the ancestors of Jacob and Katharina Goehring. Jacob was born December 19,1850, and Katharina Neuhart was born September 14, 1852, in South Russia. They lived and grew up in different villages. Katharina was from the Reformed Church founded by Zwingli and Jacob was a baptized Lutheran. He later joined Katharina's church.
Jacob was supposed to marry a wealthy farmer's daughter (the parents had arranged the marriage), but he and some boys took a Sunday trip to a town to attend a "Harvest Festival". They had a huge pole in the center of a ring with ropes extending outward and music was played and girls danced around the pole. Here he saw Katharina for the first time. He became acquainted with her and made up his mind to marry her.
They were married January 23, 1872. This caused a lot of trouble between the two families who had arranged Jacob's marriage and Jacob's father refused to set him up in farming. Katharina's father was a cabinet maker of fine furniture, which was a good trade. They had relatives in America who wrote about the opportunities in the new land. It is believed that they had financial help from someone in South Dakota so they decided to come here. While in the Ukraine seven children were born: 1. Kristina, who died at seven months; 2. Carl, died at two years; 3. Andrew; 4. Karolina; 5. Christina; 6. Rosa; and 7. Louisa.
Jacob, his pregnant wife, and five children left their home in Odessa, Russia and sailed for America. It was a long hard voyage. It was terribly crowded. The men stayed together and the women and children stayed together. Katharina was very ill, being pregnant. The women were fine Christian women and did a lot of praying. The food was awful and the smell was bad. Katharina always remained very sensitive to smells, particularly fish smell. They landed on May 8, 1884, and came to South Dakota to take a tree claim on a farm north of Freeman in Hutchinson County where the rest of the children were born: 1. Charles, 2. Katharina, 3.Fred, 4. Anna, 5. Jacob and 6. Lydia. Jacob and Lydia died of diphtheria and were buried in the same grave.
They lived there until 1905 when they moved to Bridgewater where they operated an International Farm Implement business. They decided to move west in 1910. They settled on a farm in Lincoln Township now owned by the Ashdowns. They farmed there until they retired in 1919 when they moved to Highmore where they lived until 1932 when they moved to live with their son Charles on a farm in Loomis Township. Jacob died of a stroke on December 16, 1932, and Katharina died October 24, 1940, also of a stroke.
Andrew married Sophia Hoff and after her death married Emma Rittel and farmed in Lincoln Township. Karolina (Caroline) married Fred Myers and lived at Armour, South Dakota. Kristina narried George Guttmiller and lived at Hosmer, South Dakota. Rosa married Jacob Shaffer and lived at Oakland, California.

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.

Andreas married Sophia Hoff on 27 Jun 1897 in South Dakota, USA. Sophia (daughter of Michael Hoff and Maria Rosina Priester) was born on 12 Mar 1878 in Kassel, Odessa, Ukrayina; died on 27 Jun 1919 in Lincoln, Hyde County, South Dakota, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Charles Goehring was born December 13, 1884, in Hutchinson County near Freeman, South Dakota to Jacob and Katharina Goehring. He was baptized in the German Reform Church. As a youth he took a course in steam engineering at the Agricultural College at Brookings and attended the Sioux Falls Business College.
He was pitching for a baseball team when he met Emma Maria Christina (Mary) Baumgart whom he married on October 6, 1906; in Bridgewater, South Dakota. She had been born March 6, 1888 at Boone, Iowa, to George and Barbara Baumgart. She came to South Dakota with her brother John and worked in a hotel in Menno, South Dakota.
Charles worked with his father in their International Farm Implement business in Bridgewater until 1907 when he began farming in Hutchinson County. Their first daughter, 1. Ruby, was born on October 10, 1907, on the same farm where Charles had been born.
In 1909 Charles and family, along with Andrew and Fred, his brothers, decided to move west because they had become more or less hemmed in by Mennonites. Land seemed more plentiful, however, they found the soil not nearly as rich nor did it rain as much as in Hutchinson County, but they decided to stay in Hyde County. Charles settled on a farm in Lincoln Town-ship. While there they had a second daughter, 2. Elaine, born on February 21, 1910. They moved to another farm in Valley Township where 3. Gertrude was born April 11, 1912, .and 4. Wilbur on February 1, 1915.
They farmed there until they moved to Highmore for a short time in 1917 before moving to a farm in Loomis Township in 1918. Their last son, 5. Norval, was born there on October 25, 1927, and in November they moved into their new house that Mary had waited for for so many years.
Charles was a raiser and breeder of fine horses. He held a horse sale on June 22, 1927, (because of the shortness of pasture), in which he sold 85 head of horses from Percheron and Belgian studs which averaged $67. The top price was slightly over $150. His 15 yearlings averaged $40 and three six-year-olds sold for $140 each. He always had a large herd of horses.
Mary organized what is believed to be the first 4-H club in Hyde County in August 1929, called the 4-H Canning Club at Holabird, South Dakota, with eight members. In 1936, Charles was elected a member of the board of directors of the Hyde County Agricultural Conservation Association which was to have charge of the new national soil conservation program. He made out work sheets for farms making appraisals of the productivity of the land that is diverted from soil depleting crops to soil conserving crops. He served for a number of years on this committee and was always active in conservation and agricultural programs. He was active in community affairs including township boards and school boards.
Charles and Mary were charter members of the Aasby Local Farmers Union, later known as the Loomis Local Charles was an avid hunter and enjoyed hunting deer and pheasants especially. He made many trips to the Black Hills hunting and had some of his trophies mounted. Charles had a faith and vision of the future of South Dakota. He loved the land and stock and had a knowledge of farming and a belief in the rewards of hard work. In spite of all the drawbacks, it was "his dream." California was for others. Poor they were at times, but. so rich in experiences.
The winter of 1951-52 was a hard winter with roads blocked already in early December. Charles had to be flown from his farm to Highmore so he could go to hospitals in Rochester and Huron for treatments of cancer. He battled his cancer until his death on May 7, 1952.
After Charles' death, Norval operated the farm for a time. Mary moved to town to live with her son Wilbur for a while until she moved into her own home in Highmore. She boarded high school students for a number of years. She was active in community affairs and was a member of the Women's Relief Corp and Porch Club. She was a member of the Our Savior Lutheran Church. She lived for a few years in old folks' homes in Miller and Highmore before dying on November 20, 1970.

Ruby married John Strohmenger and lives in Fremont, California.

Elaine is married to Henry Borcherding and runs a yarn and hobby shop in Highmore.

Gertrude married Richard Schlenker (now deceased) and lives in Highmore.

Wilbur married Agnes Haiwick, farmed in Loomis Township, and is now deceased.

Norval is married to Vera Spillaway and is a mail carrier living in Hitchcock, South Dakota.

Charles married Emma Maria Christina Baumgart on 26 Oct 1906 in South Dakota, USA. Emma was born on 6 Mar 1888 in Iowa, USA; died on 20 Nov 1970 in South Dakota, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
