"From History of Scott County, Iowa 1882 Chicago: Interstate Publishing
Co."

Carl Thoeming, stock dealer on the old Scott Nursery, was born in Eckenferderach,
Schleispic, Holstein, Germany, April 28, 1843, son of William and Mary
(Minnie) Thoeming, natives of Germany. They had eight children, five living.
They came to the United States when Carl was eight years old, and landed
in New Orleans in June, 1853. They settled in Davenport where they both
died. He was a butcher and speculated in land. Carl enlisted in 1861, in
the first Mo. Independent Mounted Artillery, and was taken prisoner at
the battle of Pea Ridge; he was exchanged six weeks after, and was honorably
discharged at Quincy, Ill., in 1864. He then returned to Davenport and
opened a butcher shop on the corner of Third and Harrison streets; he remained
in this business until in December, 1881, when he engaged exclusively in
wholesaling and retailing stock. He was married to Maggie Stoltenburg in
1864. She was born in Propstel, Holstein, Germany, and was a daughter of
Joe and Woldveigh (Rulk) Stoltenburg, natives of Germany, and early settlers
of Scott county. Mr. and Mrs. Thoeming have had seven children, five living
- Clara, Bertha, Anna, Laura and Louie. Mr. Thoeming has always been a
hard-working and enterprising man, and his present lovely residence on
the Davenport and Rockingham road is the reward of his industry.
