      As you can see above Johann Heinrich Hellbusch lost several close relatives during the time of 1865 to 1868

      His father, Johann Hellbusch, died October 24, 1865.
      His mother, Catharina Marie Asche, died April 20, 1868.
      His wife, Catharine Margarethe, died August 16, 1868.
      In addition his daughter, Anna, died August 15, 1868.

      Anna Kunnemann was hired to care for the children and Johann Heinrich ended up marrying her.

      Why did he come to America?

      The death of his father several years earlier. The death of his mother, wife and daughter within a very short time, in 1868. With all the advertisements for farmland in America. The Franco-Prussian war on the horizon. He did not want his sons to "put on the hat.", go to war. This all contributed to his decision to leave Germany.

      In 1869, Johann Heinrich and Anna, along with five children, came to America. They settled in Platte County Nebraska, thus becoming the first Hellbusch family to live in Nebraska.

      Johann Heinrich and Anna had eight children. Because of very harsh living conditions and incomplete medical care, only three of the children survived to adulthood, Carl, Willian Conrad, and Martha Louise.

      Hermann Hellbusch, a brother to Johann Heinrich Hellbusch and Heinrich, along with his wife died in Germany 1884 or 1885. Perhaps of typhoid fever. With their death, there were two surviving sons, Frederick and Eilert. In 1885 (could be 1886), Johann Heinrich sent for the two nephews, Frederick and Eilert to join him in America. In 1886, Johann Heinrich sent for another nephew, George Fredrich Hellbusch, youngest son of Heinrich Hellbusch. (Could be the same trip. There is some confusion about this information)
