Chris,
Update/Albertine had 7 children. One died in the eastern states and 1 died at Spangle. Is buried at Spangle Cemetery, Spangle, WA. in a plot marker with a large stone that says Fross. No idea why it says Fross when many land records, census documents, etc. say Fraas. As it is likely a family knows more then any other how it should look and the fact that they attended the funerals of these loved ones, you might think they would notice if the stone was incorrect. It must have cost them a great deal of money. There are 5 people buried in the plot. The 6th was left empty.
Henry was married to Albertine Michaelis. They went to N.Y. in America in 1882. By 1883 they were in Eden, Wisconsin. There is a possibility they waited for Albertine's parents and her sister and family who arrived at N.Y. in 1883. A lot of that info is still sketchy as of this date.
Albertine's son, Emil (also listed as Amiel) later was listed on a census record and Frederica Michaelis was living with him. She was 91 and listed as his grandmother.
Frederica Michaelis (and husband, August Michaelis) came to America with Wilhemine Stentz, her husband, Frank Stentz and their two children; Hermann F. Stentz and Otto Emil Albert Stentz. They arrived on the Habsburg 1883.
Both families show some activity in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, and there are also hints of them being in North and South Dakota before finally ending up in Washington territory which became a state the year after their arrival).
In their group that arrived in Washington territory there was no less than Carl Stentz (buried age 88 at Fairmount Cemetery, Spokane), Henrich and Albertine, Otto, Emil and Emma Fraas (two other children later born, Hedwig/Hattie and Martha), Frank and Wilhelmine/Minnie, Hermann (shortened to Herman) and Otto Stentz. Frank Stentz Jr. was born and died in October of 1888 at 3 weeks.
Frank Stentz Jr., Carl Stentz, Minnie Stentz and Infant Fraas all likely died in October of 1888. In a story told by Anna Stentz Hudlow and Hattie Fraas, they said that two babies died that winter. Some of the adults too. It was a story told and retold of a winter spent in a cabin that wasn't suited to northwest weather.
