Lena Gotsch
Lena was born January 25, 1837 in Barsbeck, Schoenberg parish, Holstein, Germany. She worked in Pussia as a hired girl, milking cows and carrying the milk a great distance by shoulder yoke. She stored the milk in cool caves. She was paid $12.00 per year and two solid silver tablespoons. The hallmark on one was 25 Marz (May 25).
Lena came to the U.S. at age 30 in 1867. She was in the 1870 Census of Davenport, Scott Co., Iowa, where she lived with a family and worked as a servant. At the time, Henry Stender was also living in Davenport. They met and married Oct. 25 1873.
Henry and Lena took their young family to Alda or Grand Island, Nebraska by covered wagon, arriving on Nov. 4, 1884. Edward was 9 and Hertha was 7. They lived on the Stuhr farm east of Grand Island. At some point before 1900, Henry had a farm machinery sale. He took the money and left his wife & children.
After her husband left, Lena & her two children lived in a small house at 1215 Louise in Grand Island. Her son-in-law and daughter, Charles & Hattie Sothmann, lived with her after their marriage. They had the old house razed and built a new one on the same property in 1911. The new home had eight rooms and provided plenty of space for the growing family.
When Charles Sothmann was advised by his doctor to move to a higher elevation and drier climate, Lena moved with Charles & Hattie and their family of five to a farm about five miles north of Lisco, Nebraska in 1916. These eight brave soles moved from a large house with two stories and a full basement to a 2-room sod house. They all must have been heart-sick to have such tight quarters. There wasn't a tree on the place. Summers were hot. And, winters were brutally cold. Lena didn't live long. She died the following spring, April 13, 1917, at age 79.

Henry & Lena had two children, Edward in 1875 and Hertha in 1877. By 1880, they were living in Crawford Co. Iowa, just one county away from Lena's parents, Johann F. & Anna Stender. Henry took his wife and family to Alda or Grand Island, Nebraska by covered wagon on Nov. 4, 1884. Edward was 9 and Hertha was 7. They lived on the Stuhr farm east of Grand Island. At some point between 1884 and 1900, Henry had a farm machinery sale, then took the money and left his wife & children. None of the family ever saw or heard from Henry after he left.
Henry eventually lived in West Cliff, Colorado where he lived in a cabin which was still standing in 1973. His obituary there said he was never married & had no children. His 640 acres in West Cliff, Colorado was deeded to Grantville Allen Graybeal & Gladys Catherine Graybeal, minors.
