| Note | *Henry and Augusta Goettsch -- *Henry and others came from Scott County in eastern Iowa in 1879 before the town of Holstein existed. They came on the railroad as far as they could; then they continued with teams of horses and wagons to Ida County, where they homesteaded their land. The purpose of this immigration was to "break the land" as they called it. They stayed only during the summer months, when they lived in shanties and earth dug-outs. One of the other settlers was Jurgen Thede, whose granddaughter, Lillian Thede, later married Henry's son Walter. Henry told his children about breaking land in Sections 14, 20, and 22 in Griggs Township. Henry Goettsch was born April 12, 1861, in Scott County, Iowa to Hans and Anna Slopkole Goettsch. On December 19,1888, he married Augusta Stricker, daughter of Christian and Wilhelmina Stricker. She was born at Tama County, Iowa, May 27, 1866. They farmed rented land for several years, and in 1891 they bought 240 acres in Section 20 of Griggs Township, where they farmed until their retirement in 1916. Henry passed away September 7, 1931: Augusta passed away March 12,1949. Henry and Augusta were the parents of seven children: Edward (June 3, 1889 - March 3, 1960): Carl (February 3, 1891 - July 14, 1975), married to Minnie Schlichting: Rhoda, Mrs. Hans Rohlk (July 24, 1893 - March 26, 1956): Selma, Mrs. Emil Ehler (September 14, 1895 - 1988 ): Minnie, Mrs Vern Bryson (January 6 1898 - July 11 1966): Walter (November 12, 1900 - 1984): and Annetta, Mrs. LeRoy Thomsen (October 12, 1905 - February 12, 2002).
