• Notes

  From "Our Langlas Family" by John Rodenmayer 3 Oct 2008, p 3. NOTE: "Minnie's" biological father was a Prussian soldier named Heinrich Schwarz, but she was raised by "Fred" and "Lena" Langlas. Wilhelmine "Minnie" Wendel-Langlas, born 10 May 1851 in the village of Gottin in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin region of Germany, and Claus Hinrich Kruse were united in marriage on 21 Feb 1868 in Davenport, Scott County , Iowa. Claus was an elder brother of Peter Kruse, my great great grandfather, who married "Minnie's" half sister Magdalena Dora Christina Langlas. Six sons and four daughters were born to "Minnie" and Claus' marriage. They included Henry Fredriche Joachim Kruse (1869), Helena "Leana" Dorthy Kruse (1870), Anna Alvina "Verna" Kruse (1873), Herman Fredrick Kruse (1875), Karl "Charlie" Theodore Kruse (1877), Bertha C. Kruse (1880), Bernhard Christian Kruse (1882), Gustav Conrad Kruse (1886), Elizabeth "Lizzie" M. Kruse (1889) and Claus Harry Kruse (1894). "Minnie" and Claus were the ancestors of 19 grandchildren, 38 great grandchildren, at least 72 great great grandchildren and at least 58 great great great grandchildren. Wilhelmine "Minnie" (Wendel-Langlas) Kruse lived 47 years, 10 months and one day, passing on 11 March 1899 in Sumner Township, Iowa County, Iowa. She was buried in the Marengo IOOF Cemetery. Clause Hinrich Kruse, born on 18 Apr 1841 in Krokau, Probstei, Scheswig-Holstein, Germany, lived 62 years, 2 months, and ten days; passing on 28 Jun 1903 in Marengo, Iowa County, Iowa. He was buried in the Marengo IOOF Cemetery next to "Minnie." (Note: Linda Sue (Kruse) Nardini, one of "Minnie" and Claus' great granddaughters has the original copy of "Minnie" and Claus' marriage license/certificate.)
