SUZANNA MATTHIES
(May 16, 1836; d. January 03, 1922)
-
Suzanna
Matthies
(May 16, 1836; d. January 03,
1922), a
sister of DAVID
MATTHIES (December 24, 1826-July 26, 1907),
married Jakob Martin Dueck (June 13 [16], 1830- May 15, 1907) and had
a daughter named Agatha Dueck (b. March 16, 1861, Kleefeld, Molotschna
colony, Ukraine d. October 10, 1937, Milford, Connecticut) who married twice
(one being to Kornelius Krause (-1901) of no relation to Eric Krause
(January 26, 1943-), the other to Heinrich D. Dirks [Dueck] (September 8,
1879 [1881]-February 6, 1938))
Jakob was a carpenter-contractor by
trade. He also became a miller after moving from Kleefeld to Brasol in the
Schoenfeld colony around 1880. In Brasol, he acquired a few acres (Russian "desjatin")
of land in 1881, built a house, planted fruit trees, and erected a Dutch
windmill 5 stories high. Later a tree nursery was added.
Susanna had to do a lot of wool
spinning. According to some sources, she was a lively young lady when Jakob
courted her.
They had 7 children: Agatha
(1861-1937), Maria (1863-1946), Susanna
(1865-1953), Katharina (1867-1957), Peter (1873-1952), Eliesabeth (1880-1944),
and Justina (1882-1957).

ANCESTRAL GENEALOGICAL
NOTES
--------------
Dear
Eric,
My
cousin sent me the link to your web page and I have been looking though
it with considerable interest. She and I are both grandchidren of
Cornelius K. Krause and Margarethe Rempel who lived in Kitchener after
their arrival in 1925 from Molotschna where they lived in the village of
Gnadenfeld. I am a retired librarian and genealogist from Ottawa. I have
been collecting information on my Mennonite roots and we share a number
of common ancestral names, particularly Krause, Dueck and Mathies.
I do not
find a connection between our Krause families, although my grandfather
was born in Rosenhof in the Schönfeld Colony. I must confess, however,
that my branch of the Krause family has had considerable difficulty in
tracing its Krause roots. My grandfather's mother was Agatha Dueck. She
was married twice and had seven surviving children. About 20 of their
descendants continue to participate in a "Rundbrief" which circulates
around North America 3 or 4 times a year. As I understand it, the
Rundbrief was started in the 1920s by my grandparents' generation so
that they could keep in touch with their scattered families. Agatha
Dueck was a daughter of Susanna Mathies and there I have found the
connection with your family--Susanna was a sister of your ancestor,
David Mathies
and that makes us fourth cousins through the Mathies line.
I
thought I would make this initial contact and perhaps we can share
additional information. I would be particularly interested in any
information that you have regarding the Mathies family. My information
is very sketchy, having come from a book published by a cousin in 1976
which documented my Dueck ancestry in some detail but failed to give
information on the extended families.
Best
wishes from Ottawa,
Ralph W. Manning

---------------------------------------------
- I am looking for my Great Grandfather Kornelius
Krause, I have nothing of his ancestry (have a lot on Agatha Dueck).
Kornelius was born Jan 18, 1856.
Married Agatha Dueck February 17, 1883
Died in Rosenhof, Schoenfeld Colony Sep 7, 1901
Kornelius had bought two large farms in
Gnadenfeld, Molotschna Colony had the wagon(s) loaded with the household
goods ready to move there from Rosenhof, Schoenfeld Colony, when he died of
either a stroke or heart attack. Wife Agatha then moved to Gnadenfeld with
daughter Agatha, sons Cornelius and Jacob, and daughter Susanna (my
Grandmother Susanna Krause Rempel). Widow Agatha Krause thought she was
going to be unable to run the farms, so she ended up marrying the hired farm
hand Heinrich Dirks, who was much younger than she. Agatha Krause Dirks then
had three more children by Heinrich: Marie (Mary Janzen) and Heinz. (Mary
has written My Memories and The Batum Story.)
Susanna Krause Rempel emigrated to the US Sept
1923 with her husband Aron Rempel from Gandednfeld, along with their
children Marie, Aron, Agatha (my mother), Susanna, and Willy was born in
Turkey. Herman, Aunie, and Dietrich were born in the US.
Agatha Dueck Krause Dirks emigrated to the US
with husband Heinrich and 3 children. They settled in Connecticut, I think.
Agatha Krause married Carl Rempel, and they
emmigrated to USD. I think they also settled in Connecticut.
Cornelius and Jacob Krause married Rempel
sisters and emmigrated to Canada.

---------------------------------------------
Your site has helped me with my Great, great
Grandmother Susanna Matthies, and adding her siblings. I had extended her
line back to her great grandfather from a relative whose family got caught
behind the iron curtain, and they still live in Russia, a Retzlaf Harder.
I am a Great granddaughter of Kornelus Krause,
who married Agatha Dueck, one of Susanna Matthies's daughters. I know you
said you are not related to this Krause. Krause isn't name that shows up
much in early village census records, and the Schoenfeld Colony was pretty
much destroyed by Macna and the Reds. I am wondering, if there still might
not be a connection going back far enough in time. How many generations back
do you have of your ancestors, to what years?

Mary Dirks Janzen was the younger half sister of my grandmother Susanna
Krause Rempel. When Susanna's father died just before they moved from
Kleefeld to Gnadenfeld (the wagon was all packed, and Kornelius Krause died
suddenly), the widow Agatha Dueck Krause with her 4 young children
Cornelius, Jacob, Susanna (my grandmother) and Agatha moved to Gnadenfeld.
Later widow Agatha Dueck Krause married the farm manager Heinrich Dirks, and
they had 3 more children Marie (Mary), Heinrich (Heinz),and Katharina (Katja)
Dirks. I have a picture of the Krause family before they moved to Gnadedfeld.
I am so happy to have found Mary Janzen's blog!
I am working on the family tree at My Heritage.

Hi Karen: I believe you are the one who wrote to me about 10 years ago
asking for general family information-- I was overwhelmed at the time &
didn't know where to start. You only gave your address & no phone number
or email address which I would have preferred. Really glad you are in
The Rundbrief now!!!! -Pam Sittler in Ontario

Looking forward to receivining the rundbrief. My biggest hole is
information and pictures of Cornelius Krause, and his family. I have
some of his brother Jacob, from Joan Braun. I don't have very good
ones of Carl and Agatha Rempel either, but I do have a couple. Karen
