93. Claus5 Gotsch (Hinrich4, Johan3 Götsch, Peter2 Gotsch, Peter1) was born September 4, 1800 in Fiefbergen, Duchy Holstein. Claus died August 23, 1878 in Bennington, Nebraska at 77 years of age. He was interred on August 29, 1878 in the Ft. Calhoun Cemetery. The body was later moved to the German Cemetery, Bennington, Nebraska. The tombstone reads "Clouse"

Family history tells that the Gottsch family resided in Davenport, Iowa for a short period of time. After buying land in Washington County around 1858, they would commute back and forth. The land in Washington County was treeless, so wood would have to be cut in Fort Calhoun and carried back to the homestead. The first year the family planted rye, and ducks ate all the seed. The family then obtained more seed from the Army encampment (known now as Fort Atkinson) that was located by the farm, planted the seed, and then dragged a tree across the land to make sure the ducks would not eat the seed again.

The following is an article printed in the Blair Pilot on 29 August 1878.

Died: GUTCH (sic) On Friday, August 23, 1878, at his late residence near Ft. Calhoun, Mr. Claus GUTCH (sic), age 77 yrs, 11 months and 20 days. The subject of the above notice was highly respected by all who knew him. The procession, it is related to us, was more than a mile in length and the large concourse of people who followed the remains to their last resting place in the Fort Calhoun Cemetery is an indication of the esteem in which he was held by his neighbors far and near. Mrs. Gutch (sic) is still living and is surrounded by a number of her children who will spare no effort to comfort her in her bereavement. Mr. Heinrich Schneider was a stepson of Mr. Gutch (sic), and several of his own sons, Charles and Peter known to us personally, live in the neighborhood. The funeral services at the residence were performed by Rudolph Peters. Esq., while Rev. J.P. Andrew officiated at the grave. The funeral was said to have been the largest ever witnessed in the county. (Note.. the body of Claus Gottsch was later moved to the German Cemetery, where both Mr. and Mrs. Gottsch are buried.) The headstone at the cemetery reads "Clouse".

Claus married twice. Claus first married Trine Stahl on December 4, 1839 in Svenstrupmark, Tårnborg parish, Sorø, Denmark. Trine was born August 9, 1814 in Gödersdorf, Duchy Holstein. Trine was the daughter of Asmus Stahl and Gretje Dittmer. Trine died on June 10, 1843 in Svenstrupmark, Tårnborg parish, Sorø, Denmark at 28 years of age.

Claus then married Bertha Catharina Jöhnk Schneider on December 22, 1844 in Tårnborg parish, Sorø, Denmark. Bertha was born March 21, 1806 in Königsförde, Duchy Holstein. Bertha was the daughter of Hans Jürgen Jöhnk and Magdalena Dorothea Theede. Bertha married Claus Peter Schneider on December 5, 1828 in Königsförde, Duchy Holstein. Bertha died on February 24, 1894 in Bennington, Nebraska at 87 years of age. She was interred February 1894 in the German Cemetery, Bennington, Nebraska.

Note: The following story has been passed down from different sides of the family.

Bertha's first husband, Claus Peter Schneider, was a gamekeeper for a member of royalty in Denmark. He came upon two men skinning a deer, and while he was confronting them, a third poacher killed him. Bertha remarried and her second husband, Claus Gottsch took over the position of gamekeeper until Bertha's eldest son Ernst was old enough to take over the job.

Recent research shows that this story cannot be true. No evidence has been found for Claus Peter Schneider being a gamekeeper. In the 1835 census in Gettorf parish for Wulfhaggener Hütten noble estate, he was listed as a "Tagelöhner," that is, a "day laborer." When Bertha Catharina Schneider arrived in Tårnborg parish, Denmark on November 22, 1844, she referred to him as an "Arbeidsmand," or "laborer."

Claus Peter Schneider may have died in Fiefbergen, Schönberg parish, rather than in Wulfhaggener Hütten, Gettorf parish. When Bertha Cathrina Schneider arrived in Tårnborg parish in November 22, 1844, she referred to him as "from Fiefbergen."

Claus Göttsch lived continuously in Denmark from at least 1839 until 1853. Claus Göttsch moved to Tårnborg parish, Denmark, sometime between 1835 and December 4, 1839 when he married Trine Stahl there. He appears in every census in Tårnborg parish until he departed for America in 1853.

Ernst Schneider lived continuously in Denmark from age nine in 1845 until at least age nineteen in 1855. Ernst Schneider appears in every census in Tårnborg parish between 1845 and 1855 (three censuses: 1845, 1850, 1855).

As with all family stories, until they can be verified you must take them with a grain of salt.

Thanks to Howard Maahs, who has done extensive research on Bertha and Claus Peter Schneider, has discovered there is a grain of truth to the above story after all. Claus Peter Schneider was employed as a hireling or day laborer for the royal estate of Winning in 1837. According to parish records he met an unexpected and violent death on January 14, 1837. The records state "Claus Peter Schneider from Blankenburg (in the) parish of Moldenit. He died in Freymaurer Hospital. He allegedly left behind a wife and five children. Age about 40 years." This entry suggests who provided the information was someone other than his wife, Bertha.

A revised, more accurate version of the family story:

In January 1837, Claus Peter Schneider, an agricultural laborer on the royal estate of Winning in the Duchy of Schleswig, happened upon some poachers who shot and mortally wounded him. Claus was taken to a hospital in the nearby city of Schleswig for emergency treatment and died later that day. Soon afterwards, Bertha and her five children relocated to Fiefbergen, Duchy of Holstein, and the village of her deceased husband's birth. Seven years later in 1844, Bertha and her four youngest children relocated to Denmark where she married her second husband, Claus Göttsch, himself a widower.

Claus Göttsch and Trine Stahl had the following children:

    219 i. Gretje6 Göttsch, born April 27, 1840 Svenstrupmark, Tårnborg, Sorø, Denmark.

    Note: After 1840 there is no mention of Gretje. In a 1845 Danish census it does not list her living with Claus and Bertha. It is felt that she died in infancy or as a small child.

    220 ii. Heinrich Göttsch, was born November 19, 1842 in Svenstrupmark, Tårnborg Parish, Sorø, Denmark. Heinrich died April 30, 1868 in Washington County, Nebraska at 25 years of age.

    Note: Heinrich was found dead on his farm in Washington County, Nebraska and was thought to have been murdered for $200.00 that he had in his possession. Authorities later found the money and ruled his death a possible suicide. Heinrich was buried on a hill near the Old German Cemetery in Bennington. No one knows for sure where the grave is located it has been lost to time. Heinrich never married.

Claus Göttsch and Bertha Catharina Jöhnk had the following children:

    + 221 iii. Peter6 Gøttsch, was born April 20, 1845.

    + 222 iv. Carl (Charles) Frederick Gøttsch, was born August 2, 1846.

    + 223 v. Louisa Sophie Margrethe Göttsch, was born July 14, 1850.

Note: Charles Frederick Gottsch was born Carl Frederick Gottsch. It was not uncommon for newly arrived immigrants to Americanize their names. For this genealogical history he will be refered to by the name he was known by and buried under, Charles.

Note: Bertha Catharina Jöhnk birth records list her first name as Barta. I will use the name she was known by and is inscribed on her tombstone "Bertha" for this genealogy history.
