A loved one dear from us is gone.
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home.
Which never can be filled.
So lautet die Inschrift auf dem Grabstein, des im Alter von 25 Jahren an Typhus verstorbenen Benjamin Wilhelm Trautwein, von seiner Familie "Bennie" genannt.
Seine letzte Ruhe fand Bennie auf dem Brethren in Christ Cemetery in Green, Clay County, Kansas.
Bennie ist der Sohn von Jakob Friedrich Trautwein (1841 - 1896) und Friederike Rosine Hay (1847 - 1912). Die Familie Trautwein-Hay ist mit zwei kleinen Kindern 1882 von Steinheim nach Kansas ausgewandert. In Kansas kamen weitere 7 Kinder zur Welt, Bennie ist der Jüngste von 6 Brüdern.
This is my husband's grandfather, who died when his father was only two years old! My father-in-law's name was Price Preston Trautwein and he died in October of 2002. My husband is Richard Dean Trautwein, born in 1942 in Glendale CA USA. Do you know anything about a Charles Wolf, supposedly the son of Fredrike Rosina Hay Wolf Trautwein? This boy came over on the boat with his mother and step-father, but we can find no records. They also lost a daughter to drowning in the Murr River before they left. Her name was Pauline.
