Lübbe Theodor Mohrhusen, geb. 19.3.1841 ist 1851 mit seinen Eltern und seinem Bruder ausgewandert.
Dazu habe ich inzwischen einiges gefunden. Die Familie ließ sich wohl in Thiensville nieder (Thiensvile war von einem Halbbruder Johann Hinrich Thien gegründet worden) Später wohnte Lübbe Moorhusen in Mequon - Ozaukee County - Wisconsin.
In einer Zeitung fand ich folgenden Nachruf:
Der Nord Westen, 05 Mar. 1891: "Death of Luebbe Theodor Mohrhusen, after a long illness, on the 2nd of Mar. in Madison, Wisconsin. A short memorial service was held at 7 a.m. today in the family residence, 117 W. Johnson Street. The burial will be held in Manitowoc. The deceased was born 15 Mar. 1841 in Oldenburg, Germany, and came with his parents to America in 1851. They first settled in Thiensville, Wisconsin. Upon completion of his schooling he learned furniture making, a craft he followed until 1862 when he entered the war as a private in the 24th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment, and then as Corporal in Capt. Charles Hartung's "C" Company. He served until the end of the war and was given an honorable discharge. He participated in 25 battles and engagements with his regiment. Later he moved to Manitowoc and was twice married. During the last five years he worked as mail clerk in the office of City Secretary E. Timme. His widow (nee Fischer) was from Reedsville, Wisconsin. She survives him along with 5 children. The G.A.R. Post in Manitowoc will handle the burial either Thurs. afternoon or Fri. morning."
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit über seine Dienstzeit mehr zu erfahren? An welchen battles und engaments war er beteiligt?.
Selbst über das 24th Wisconsin Inf Rgt konnte ich nur sehr spärlich etwas finden.
Ich weiß aber auch nicht so richtig wo ich suchen muß:
Über ein paar Inputs wäre ich dankbar.
Vielen Dank
Manfred
