Question

Looking for gravestone of Anna Elizabeth (Lange) Christ, Dodge, Nebraska area.

Answer 1

I am related to Tobias Lange buried at the Ltheran cemetery at Dodge, NE. I do not have any information about a Lange married to a Christ, but I know there were Christs in Dodge.  I am unable to trace them beyond Wisconsin.

Ludwig/Ludwik and Elizabeth Garte Lange had at least 3 children:  Anna /Elisa and Elesabeth and Tobias.  Anna & Eelsabeth were married to my great grandfather, Peter Christ (who did farm in the Dodge area.)  Anna died in 1884, soon after their 2nd child Henry was born.  The first child was Elizabeth/Lizzie that married John H. Meyer III.  Peter than married the 2nd daughter and they had 7 children.   We have been unable to find Anna's grave.  Elesabeth & Peter Christ are buried in the St. John Lutheran German Cemetery, rural Howells as are Ludwig and Elizabeth Lange.

Ludwig was born in Germany Feb. 14, 1828 and died Feb 22, 1911. Tobias was born in Germany May 27, 1861 and appeared on a manifest on the Fulda which left Bremen.  He emigrated to New York on April 21, 1883.  I would assume that if Anna died in 1884 she may be buried in transit or in Wisconsin. The Lange family are also connected to The Mandel family which is the family Tobias's daughter Augusta married into . He is buried at Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery at Dodge.
