This one is quite interesting. I'd no idea that there was
also a place named Koehler.

Subject: [Koehler] Anna Koehler, wife of Jacob Haspert,
Emigrated from the Village Koehler, Glabatow, The District
of Kaminka (Kamenka), Russia 1907


> Looking for information on the Koehler & Haspert (Gaspert)
Families from the Village Koehler, Glabatow, The District of
Kaminka (Kamenka), Russia.
>
> The earliest record for Jacob Haspert is the "List or
Manifest of Alien Passengers for the United States
Immigration at Port of Arrival" for the North German Lloyd
Steamship, "Trave". The Trave sailed from Bremen, Germany
and arrived in Baltimore Harbor October 23, 1906. Family
oral tradition indicates that he worked as a stevedore on
the docks at Locust Point, Baltimore to earn passage for his
family. The "List or Manifest of Alien Passengers for the
United States Immigration at Port of Arrival" for the North
German Lloyd Steamship, "Chemnitz" proves his wife Anna's
arrival with their four children in Baltimore to be October
17, 1907. These children were: Adam, age 7 years; Johannes,
age 5 years; Catherine, age 1 year and 6 months; and,
Alfons, age 3 months. Anna and Jacob would have an
additional three children born in the United States: Jacob,
Mathew and John Joseph. The 1906 Trave Manifest also
indicates that Jacob declared that he would be living with
his brother-in-law !
> Jacob Keler (probably Koehler) at 1435 Richardson Street,
Locust Point in Baltimore, Maryland. Anna's papers also
declare that she would be living with her husband, Jacob
Haspert, at that same address a year later in October 1907.
The Ship's papers indicate that Jacob was 28 years old when
he arrived in Baltimore Harbor October 23, 1906,
establishing his birth in 1878. He arrived in Baltimore with
$11.00 in his pocket. He listed his Russian occupation as
farm laborer and indicated that he could read and write. His
obituary printed in the Queen Anne's County Record Observer
in 1957 states that he was 77 years of age at his death,
establishing that he was born in 1880. The Ship's manifest
states that Jacob was born in Col-Kohler, Russia. His last
permanent residence before emigration was the Village of
Col-Kohler, Russia. No entry was given for his nearest
relative. However, his obituary states that his parents were
William and Sophia Haspert. It is not known if William and
Sop!
> hia came to America or stayed in the German village in
Russia.
>
> Anna and Jacob purchased a farm on Kent Island near Piney
Creek approximately 1926. The farmland was poor and they
evolved to keeping an inn, The Shamrock Inn. The Inn was
probably so named to downplay the family's German heritage.
The earliest record for Anna Haspert is the "List or
Manifest of Alien Passengers for the United States
Immigration at Port of Arrival" for the North German Lloyd
Steamship, "Chemnitz". The Chemnitz sailed from Bremen,
Germany October 3, 1907 and arrived in Baltimore Harbor
October 17, 1907. The Ship's papers indicate that Anna was
27 years old when she arrived in Baltimore Harbor October
17, 1907, establishing her birth in 1880. Her Certificate of
Citizenship, issued December 9, 1939 states that she was 57
years old, establishing her birth in 1882. Her obituary
printed in the Queen Anne's County Record Observer November
27, 1958 states that she was born February 10, 1882. The
Ship's manifest states that Anna was born in Kamika (The
District of Kame!
> nka), Russia and her last permanent residence before
emigration was the Village of Koehler, Russia. Her nearest
relative was her father, Adam Koehler, of the Village
Koehler, Glabatow, The District of Kaminka (Kamenka),
Russia. It is interesting to note that Anna's maiden name
was Koehler; her birthplace and last place of residence was
also "Koehler".
