      The Carl Henke family lived in Lindenwerder, Germany, which was located in the area of Europe that History books refer to as the "Polish Corridor". Lindenwerder is at the present time called Lipiagora, Poland (since WWII). It is a small village on the Notec River.
      Emil and Frederick Henke sailed for the US from Bremen, Germany, on the ship Kaiserin Maria Teresa. They arrived in New York (Ellis Island) on October 8, 1902 and reached Faribault County, MN, on October 11, 1902. They worked on farms and helped farmers thresh grain.
      In 1905, Emil went back to Germany to visit his parents. He was persuaded, by his mother, to fulfill his military training. After he and Bernhard had completed their military service, he, accpompained by Bernhard, returned to the US on the Ship (Amerika?) arriving in 1909.
      In the meantime Fred had married adn rented the farm owned by Mrs. Emil
      Schwartz in the Blue Earth Vicinity. Fred was not well so Bernhart helped him on his farm.
      Emil lived in Kiester, MN, where he worked for a blacksmith named Yost. After his marriage he eventually moved to Blue Earth, MN, where he bought into a blacksmith shop.
      Fred died of tuberculosis in August 1915; his wife and children moved to town (Blue Earth) to live. A couple years later, Fred's widow married Bernhart and they moved to Deer Park, Wisconisn, where they purchased a farm.
