George Teter 1730-1798

A note from Kelvin:

I came across some information that seems to make some sense regarding the Teter name.  It appears his name was John George aka Johann Georg.  He descended from Hans Jorg DIETER.  or John George DIETER. According to xpda.com the tree goes back to Quirinius Dieter 1555-1606(?).

Regarding Hans Jorg; He arrived in America on the ship Molly 30 sep 1727 and settled around Lancaster County, PA. He emigrated with his wife from Wurtenberg, Germany in 1727 on the ship Molly and signed the Oath of Allegiance at Philadelphia Sept 1727

Duchy of Württemberg

So this must be son George

Merry Christmas

Just a note to wish you all a happy solstice, merry christmas and happy new year and I hope you all are doing well. In addition, I hope for more input from the relatives on this 

This year has been interesting for me. I am moving closer to retirement, and have started a retirement project, an ancestral blog. (http://meilickeancestors.blogspot.ca/) so far, it has been mainly information gathering for myself, and a few minor posts. In addition, I hope for more input from the relatives on this subject next year. It takes up time. I am still dealing with all the other issues in my life, as well. Some of these are taking up just too much time.

I hope you are all doing well.  

1914 WWI big decisions

There was much concern is both Canada and the US over "King Eddie" and what he might do at the start of WWI. There was fear that he would surrender to avoid bloodshed, and  this would place a less reasonable power just to the north of the US. There was concern that Eddie would do nothing, and let the Kaiser run all over Europe. Gustav Meilicke wrote a letter to his two sons, Gustav and Julius, suggesting that they come home for a bit. Gustav decided to stay in Canada and Julius decided to go home for a bit.

This was a major turning point in the life of Julius, for he went home and found a wife to bring back to Canada. Found is not the right word, for Emma and Julius had been writing from the time before Gus and Jules left Iowa on the great venture north west, where Gustav senior thought would be the next area to develop. This Greencourt venture was Jules second attempt at homesteading. He had gone to Minnesota and found it nothing but rocks, and not suitable for farming and returned home to Iowa. In 1907, he and Gus headed to the the unknown west and north. In 1908, they each filed for a quarter of land, and started farming. By 1914, Gus had a 1/2 section, Jules had a 1/4 all proved up. Jules went out to work in the winters to earn a "grub steak", while Gus stayed at home and did freighting, brush clearing, logging, and the like.

I recall Gus saying that he could walk to Edmonton in three days, but it took 5 days to drive oxen. It was faster to lead the oxen then to drive them, and he could lead them home in 4 days, if the road were dry. Oxen in harness, that is. I recall that Gus said that oxen in yokes could pull more for short distances, but not as long, and oxen in harness was the way to work them.  

Thank you for reading this. Please feel free to post your own thoughts or opinions on this subject or any other. I would like to get your input on what you remember about Gus and all the ancestors, so the storeys can be passed about.

This video is worth watching.

This and exorphins are big problem.

Gustav E Meilicke Draft

This is a bit of the story of Gus's life, to be added as new insights and memories come back.

Nostalgia for a misremembered past is no basis for governing a diverse and advancing nation.

David Frum

Gustav Eberhardt Meilicke, 1881 - 1965 , born August                1881, died
 1965. Gautav was born in Marshall County, Iowa according to the 1885 Census. The family record says Dallas County. The family record say the Gustav Meilicke 1851-1929 and Mathida Schallert 1849-1927 family first stopped in Marshall, the home of  Julius H Meilicke, who had left Prussia in 1866, late summer. He was the father of EJ, and that bunch.

Gus is buried in Evergreen Memorial Gardens, Old Iron Cross section, marker 317. This was taken fall 2012.

 Easter Dinner ? mid-late 1950's, Andy&Jessie's ?

 Likely taken by Nellie Webber, back row, Aaron, JA, Andy, Gus
front row, Emma, unknown, Alberta controlling Albert, Dolly Muster?

 Nellie Webber plus....
Note the planes on Albert... It must have been WWII years, What do you think Albert? 1942?

There is no one to ask about this one. The children are mother, Alberta and Aaron, summer 1919?. That GGP Gustav, GP JA, Grandmother Emma, William Meilicke, and Gustav at an age of 38 more or less.

The captions says about 1920, but perhaps not. It looks to be the same role of film as above. This is Gus's Cabin, where Julius and Gus called home from 1907 until 1914 when Julius returned to Iowa.
Now I understand that the caption is unknown, Julius, Gustav, unknown. Note the Ruberoid roof. It was in general use by 1905. Was Gus an early adopter? Note that they nearly missed the quarter, with that cabin, as the land was not surveyed until 1908. Andy Thinkstad did miss, and that was the other log house, which Emma "lived" in from Nov 1915 to Jan 1916, but claimed to have never live in a log house. Note the south exposure, but I remember a window on the north, rear, when it was being used as a grainery for clean seed/ and seed cleaning. There was a cellar under this one also.

Thank you for reading this. Please feel free to post your own thoughts or opinions on this subject or any other.

Errors all over the place

On the internet and in "family" records, there are many errors, and the like.

Now EJ is not an ancestor, but he is likely a cousin, nephew, or brother of Samuel. We are from the Julius, Gustav, Gustave, Samuel line. The reason to beleive this is Gustav came to Marshall, which is where EJ was at in 1880.
"From: Leaves from the life of a pioneer, 1997: t.p. (Senator Emil Julius Meilicke) p. 4 of cover (b. 19 July 1852, Woldenberg, Germany; elected to Minnesota State Senate; moved to Saskatchewan) p. ix (E.J. Meilicke; d. 1934)."

Now the above statement is just wrong. Germany did not exist in 1870 when they left, It was the Kingdom of Prussia. German was in a discussion" stage, under the Kaiser.  Woldenberg is 50 miles inside Poland today, and is now Dobiegniew, Poland.

"As a brief run-down, he was born in Plonitz, Germany (now Poland) and emmigrated to the US as a child. He became a well respected business man and was eventually Senator of Minnesota. He moved to Sask. with his sons after the turn of the century and founded a town by the name of Dundurn (this is where the lumber yard was). He wrote a book called "Leaves from the life of a Pioneer" which was re-printed by the University of Sask very recently. Later in life he moved, once again with his sons, to Vancouver BC."

It seems that Plonitz is an area just north of Dobiegniew, within the the current boundaries.

"He came to America with his parents in 1866 and settled on a farm in Winona County, Minnesota."       And this conflicts with Marshall County Iowa.

"Emil Julius Meilicke married Wilhelmine (Minnie) Auguste Guderian.

The present fourteenth district, com- prising Jackson and Cottonwood counties, was formed in 1897, is entitled to one senator and two representatives, and has been represented by the following: 1899 — Senate, E. J. Meilicke; house, D. L. Riley, John E. Johnson. 1901 — Senate, E. J. Meilicke; house, D. L. Riley, W. A. Potter.

Commissioner Fifth District — H. C. Sether (rep.), elected; Gustav Meilicke (peo.)     

Mr. Putman was married at Braintree, Ver- mont, November 10, 1881, to Hattie Maud White, a native of Wisconsin and a daughter of Julian and Harriett (Burgess) White, both native? of the Empire state. Mrs. Putman died November 21, 1904, being 47 years of age at the time of her death. One child was born to this union, J. Mabel, now the wife of Hugo E. Meilicke, son of Honorable E. J. Meilicke, formerly of Windom. Mr. and Mrs. Meilicke now reside at Dundurn, Canada."""
