KISCH, OETH, SAUTER

Looking for info about Mary KISCH, who married Conrad SAUTER (of Peosta, Dubuque Co., Iowa) 17 Jan 1864 (Dubuque County Marriage Records). This marriage was solemnized by Rev. John Fendrich. I've been told Rev. Fendrich was at St. Mary's from 1860-1864.

Conrad & Mary [KISCH] SAUTER appear in the 1870 Federal Census for Peosta, Dubuque County. Mary is listed as 23 years old, "keeping house," and born in "Bavaria". Conrad is listed as 29, "stone mason," and born in Ohio, with father and mother foreign-born. Two children are listed: "Katie" age 5, born in Iowa; and "William" age 3, born in Iowa. Conrad would have been born about 1841; and Mary [KISCH] would have been born about 1847. This family is not in the 1880 Census for Dubuque County. However, a "Conrad SOUDERS", stone mason, wife "Catherine", children William, Catherine, etc., show up in the 1880 Federal Census for Thompsonville, Perry, Ohio. According to Perry County, Ohio, Probate Births Book #1, this "Catherine" is "Catherine REI".

Mary KISCH may have been a sister to Catherine/"Kate" KISCH, who married Peter OETH, 9 March 1861, St. Mary Church, Dubuque. Their first child, Maria Catherine, was baptized 17 Jan 1864, St. Mary's, with godparents: Andrea[sic] OETH and A. Maria KIESCH[sic]. The 24 Mar 1925 obit for Catherine [KISCH] OETH say she was "born in Trier, Germany, February 24, eighty-five years ago and came to this country with her parents when ten years old. For two years the family lived in Syracuse, N.Y." Thus she would have been born 1840. Her mother's name was Antoinette (maiden name unknown). Her father's name is unknown.

You can read more about these KISCH/KIESCH and OETH families in the "Lang Family History" at my website. I am trying to trace the ancestry of Catherine [KISCH] OETH.
