That is all I can find out about her before she came to the US. From her obituary: Mrs. Matz, who was born in Hamburg, Germany, April 3, 1851, had lived in Dakota County 55 years. She came here when she was 15 with her brothers, who left Germany to escape military service in the Franco-Prussian war. She went to Elgin, Ill. after landing in this country and came across the old Pontoon bridge over the Missouri in 1893 to Dakota county
