Hallo,
my name is Doris from Germany and I am searching the birthdate of Carl Hadrath born 1816 in Germany. How can I find out his birthdate - in certifikates of death? Is there
an office-adress - I dont know his dates of death.
Who knows this family perhaps?
I need help please.
Best regards
Doris

1936-MN-002505, CARL HADRATH, died 14 Apr 1936 in Chippewa County, Minnesota

I will work on your case some more. Hopefully tomorrow.

thank you so much for your help. This Carl Hadrath I know also. But I dont know his complete birthdate.I think it is
2. Sept 1847 - I am right? He and his family lived in Lac Qui
Parle, MN. This Carl Hadrath from Sparta born 1816/17 had
a wife called Louisa. But I can not find out his birthdate
and death in Sparta. So I can not check if it is the cousin of
my great-grandfather from Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Germany.
Perhaps I hear from you again - thanks
Best regards
Doris

I ran a check on any Louisa passing away in Chippewa County, Minnesota and found this record. A hand written "a" may sometime get misread as an "o".

1904-32-1576, LOUISA HADROTH, born 1818, died 16 Mar 1904, born in GERMANY, died in Chippewa County Minnesota

I will try to pull their obits today. So we have two Carl Hadrath's. Sparta is most likely Sparta Township which surrounds the town of Montevideo, Minnesota. So first the courthouse because that online index starts around 1904. Then library for possible obits. Obits might say where the burial took place.

There is the Lac qui Parle Village and Lac qui Parle County in Minnesota. Will have to wait on the obits.

Hi, thank you so much. I find out Carl Hadrath in Minnesota and Territorial Census 1885 in Sparta township.I dont
saw it in a Federal Census. Louisa is the woman of this Carl
H.. they are in Sparta Chippewa County near Lac Qui Parle Chippewa County.
I hope you understand and thanks for your search.
Best regards
Doris

I have the real birthdate from my Carl Hadrath. He is born
30.Jan 1817 in Mecklenburg, Germany and his wife is Louisa nee Gipp.

Carl Hadrath died Oct 09 1895, 78 yrs 10 months -- days, born in Germany, died of old age in Sparta township, Chippewa County, Minnesota, listed as a farmer, no parents are listed. Source: Death book A-62-20 The birthday field just had a straight line so estimated date of birth is Dec 09 1816.

Louisa Hadrath, born Oct 27 1827, died Mar 16 1904 in Sparta township at age 86 years, 4 months, 19 days. Died from old age. Born in Germany, father Frederick Gippe and mother Louisa (no surname) buried at German Lutheran Cemeetery. There are several cemeteries in the area. A 1900 map shows Louisa Hadrath owning land straight west from Montevideo Minnesota on the east bank of the Minnesota River. Her obit said she died at the home of her son-in-law, Henry Hacker who lived halfway between Minnesota River and Montevideo. Source: Death book B-39-14.

Carl Hadrath, born Sep 02 1848 died Apr 14 1936 at age 87 years 7 months and 12 days. Parents are Carl Hadrath and Louisa Gippe. Source: Death book D-236-31.

I found the obits for Louisa and the Carl that died in 1936. I also found the marker for 1936 Carl and his wife. The picture did not turn out well. It is a marker that is very flat. The Hadrath headstone is shared with a Prien family. Carl's daughter married a Prien. The Carl that died in 1895, the paper did not seem to have any obits.

I can type up the obits for you if interested. The 1936 Carl obit is a long one.

Hi,
thank you so much for your help. This both Carl Hadrath are the right family of my Hadraths from Meckelnburg-Strelitz.
I am happy. You had so much to work - thanks again.
I am interessted in the obit of Louisa 1904 and perhaps Carl 1895. thats enough of your work. The Hadrath headstone is very interessting with a foto.
thanks so much you unknown searcher.

First the Carl Hadrath obit from 1936. As I said, when his father passed away in 1895, the newspaper does not seem to have any obits for anyone. Only very short death notices.

Carl Hadrath Passes Away
Well-Known Resident Succumbs Last Week at Age of 88 Years
Carl Hadrath, well known pioneer resident of Montevideo, [Minnesota] passed away at his home in Keithley's addition Tuesday, April 14, 1936 at about noon. Mr. Hadrath had been ill for five weeks previous to the time of his death and during that time had undergone an operation at the Montevideo hospital. He had been confined to his home two weeks before his death. Mr. Hadrath was 88 years, 7 months, and 12 days of age.
Funeral services were conducted Friday, April 17, at 1:30 o'clock from the home and at 2 o'clock from the First Methodist Church. Rev. Geo. S. Helgeson officiated and interment was made in the Montevideo cemetery [Now called Sunset Memorial Cemetery]. Six grandsons acted as pallbearers.
Out of town relatives who attended the services were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hadrath and family, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Hadrath and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Emmerman of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Zastro of Watertown, Wisconsin, and Mrs. Larry Selvig of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Carl Hadrath was born in Voldeck, Germany, September 2, 1847 where he grew into manhood. His early youth was spent as an apprentice in a school where he studied the art of woodcraft. He came to America in 1869 at the age of 22 years, going to Toledo, Ohio, where he worked for one year. Miss Caroline Schmidt, who was born in Cantzow, near Voldeck, Germany in 1851, came to America in 1870 and was married June 3 to Mr. Hadrath.
Mr. and Mrs. Hadrath lived in Toledo, Ohio for eight years following their marriage, where Mr. Hadrath was employed as a carpenter. In 1878 they moved to Minneapolis where they remained for a short time, coming to Montevideo in July of that year. The family stayed with Mr. Hadrath's uncle, Henry Gippe, one of the first three white settlers of Chippewa County, Minnesota. In 1878 the first railroad was built through Montevideo and here an opportunity presented itself to make use of Mr. Hadrath's carpenter trade. Several homes were built by him in Montevideo. Later on he again moved into the country and established himself on an 80 acre farm north of Montevideo, building a home with logs presented to Mr. Hadrath by his uncle. In March, 1881, the Hadraths moved to Minneapolis where Mr. Hadrath was employed with the Bartwell and Robinson company. He worked in the sash factory for three months and was then transferred to the stair department. Here he worked for three years. Due to a nervous condition, Mr. Hadrath was forced to leave Minneapolis and again came to
Montevideo in the year 1884, settling on a farm in Camp Release township, Lac qui Parle County, located four miles west and one-half mile south of Montevideo. The Hadraths lived on the farm for 36 years, after which they came to Montevideo, making their home with Sam Prien for a short while.
Mr. Hadrath then built his own home in Keithley's addition where he and his wife have resided for the past ten years. Last June Mr. and Mrs. Hadrath observed their 65th wedding anniversary at which time a large gathering of relatives and friends gathered to pay honor to the couple.
He leaves to mourn his death, his wife, three sons and four daughters: Henry Hadrath of Minneapolis, Mrs. Ida Hoberg of Stony Run, Mrs. Emma Prien, Charles Hadrath, Mrs. Tillie Hendricks, Mrs. Lucy Ness and Ernest Hadrath of Montevideo. Twenty grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren also survive.
The following verse was written by Sam Prien, son-in-law of Mr. Hadrath:

In Remembrance of Father
For more than eighty-eight years ago
An infant baby lay
In the arms of a dear mother that has long years
Passed away.
This little babe started along life's trail that led
O'er seas and mountains and over hills and dale.

He loved all nature's beauty
Especially the birds and flowers,
He loved the falling autumn leaves
Also the April showers

He loved to toil in the garden
Among the shrubs and trees
He enjoyed to hear the meadow lark
And the humming of the bees.
He loved to meet his neighbors
That he always treated fair
He was a man of his word and always would be there.

He, too, like the blooming flowers
Must fade some day and die
And this flower has beautifully bloomed
On earth as many years went by.
It was hard to stand by his bedside, and
See life pass away.
It was a burden in our hearts as he
Was fading day by day.

He is now resting so peacefully,
And pain he has no more,
Some day we'll meet him face to face,
As he waits on the golden shore.
[end of obit]

Died, at the home of her son in law, Henry Hacker, in Sparta, Wednesday forenoon, March 16, 1904, Mrs. Louisa Hadrath, aged 86 years 4 months 19 days. Mrs. Hadrath was a sister of Henry Gippe and Fred Gippe and the mother of Charles Hadrath, Mrs. Henry Hacker, Fred Hadrath of Toledo, Ohio, and a daughter still living in Germany. The funeral will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hacker tomorrow, Saturday at 11 o'clock a.m. and the service will be conducted by Rev. Mr. Wolff. [end of obit]

Again, that 1900 map showed Henry Hacker living 1 to 2 miles west of the western edge of Montevideo, Minnesota. My best guess is they are buried at what was called the Montevideo Cemetery. Today it is called Sunset Memorial.

There are plenty of relatives in the area. Do you want me to make some local phone calls and see you can talk with you over the internet? I can turned the obits over to them. I do not have a lot of time on my hands and the goal would be to get the local relatives to assist you from this point. The markers for the Carl Hadrath that passed away in 1936 are on another computer. I will work on getting photos transferred. Again, the pics did not turn out well because the marker is very flat.
