Baden
The State of Baden,
in Germany
 All of our German ancestors come
from various cities in Baden.
 The Largest city near the homes
of our ancestors in Baden is
Offenburg.
The landscape of Offenburg includes the foothills
of the Black Forest and the Rhine Plane.
Vineyards and forests cover the hillsides.
Offenburg is 25 km from Strasbourg (France).
The city has a population of about 55,000.
Offenburg is first mentioned historically in the year 1100. However,
it was probably founded sometime before the year 900 by the
dukes of Zahnngen. The city became a free city within the Holy
Roman Empire in 1240. The city walls were built in that year.
Portions of the walls still remain, forming a beautiful city park.
25 Miles From
Strasbourg, France
During the Pfalz War of Succession in 1689, Offenburg was burned by
French troops. The Kapuzinerkloster survived the fire, making it the
oldest building in the city.
Heilig Kreuz (Holy Cross) parish church was built after the fire in
1689, but not completed until the 18th century. The Olberg dates from
1524, and is a treasured monument on the church square.
Offenburg Catholic parish is very old. It has a 17th century book of
military personnel, strangers, and foreigners which primarily includes
Swedish, Weimar, French, and Croat soldiers.
From 1556 until 1803, Offenburg was controlled by Austria. In 1803,
jurisdiction was transferred to the Grand Duke of Baden.
Offenburg was the center of the Baden Revolution (1847-1848).
A freedom festival is held in September of each year.
The Ritterhaus Museum holds local and regional items,
archeological discoveries, and natural and cultural exhibits.
The Fischmarkt features a fountain with decorative lions.
Offenburg is the seat of government for Ortenaukreis, but also
serves as a regional center for commerce and education.
Electronics and metal works are important industries. Tourism
is also important to the local economy, as well as wine making.
The city is known as a gateway to the Black Forest,
and its coat of arms includes two open gates.

Wedding
Certificate of
Anton Ziegler
and Catherine
Bimmerle
Although it is not known where in Baden the family came from,
they had spoken of seeing the famous clock in the cathedral of
Strasbourg, which seemed to indicate they lived fairly close.
They were as much French as German and their region had
once been part of Alsace. (Erlach is about 20 miles from
Strasbourg across the Rhine).

Erlach
Anton and Katherine had seven children in Germany, but the twin
girls and a girl and boy died under the age of three.
Anton sailed with his wife and three remaining children from
LeHavre bound for New York. However, due to bad weather, the ship
was blown off course and landed in New Orleans on Jan 27, 1852,
after 4 weeks on the ocean.
The two youngest children died on the ship.
They planned to settle near Cincinnati because a relative had come
there earlier, who was married to a Schott. The Schott family owned
Coney Island, a famous amusement park in Cincinnati.
Two brothers of Anton: Wendell (who was unmarried) and
another (name unknown), were said to have emigrated at
the same time.
Wendell went to California to participate in the gold rush.
He later returned & told of finding gold, then went back &
died under mysterious circumstances.
The other brother was never heard from again.
Anton & family started up the Mississippi by river boat,
but there was a storm & fire & they had to return to
New Orleans to start over.
A boy was born on the river boat, but died soon after.
He was buried at Petersburg, in Boone County, KY.
Anthony Raymond, was born the next year, 1853.
Not liking KY after 2 years, Anton moved his family
across the river to either Indiana or Ohio. There he
worked in a gravel pit but a cave-in occurred.
Then he bought a farm of 400-500 acres in Dearborn
County near Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
They had no water when they arrived at their home site,
and they had to make coffee from the water in a hollow
tree stump.
Eventually Anton and Katherine (now known as Kate) had 5 more sons,
including twin boys, Frank and Charles.
Tragically they too died at the age of three. Anton had been to town
to buy rat poison and while he was putting the team of horses away,
the boys found it.
Anton and Maria “Kate” Ziegler had a total of 13 children, but only four
survived past childhood: one girl and three boys. The 3 surviving
brothers married the 3 Wilhelm sisters who lived nearby. The oldest
surviving brother, Anthony Raymond, married Veronica Wilhelm, who
died after giving birth to their six children. Then Anthony married
Caroline Reusch within a year, and had 8 more children, including
Raymond B. Ziegler.
They all lived on adjoining farms probably divided from
the original homestead.
Kate’s brother, Bernhard Bimmerle, had also emigrated as well
as their mother, and they, too, lived nearby.
Anton died at home on his farm, after he asked that his bed be
moved near the window so he could watch the sunset for the last
time on his beautiful land and orchards.
“It is a saga of incredible hardship and heartbreak. Yet they
clung to their deep faith, eventually prospered, and survived to
old age.”

Anthony R. Ziegler
Caroline Reusch
Both of Carrie’s parents had been born in Germany.
Her mother had died young, probably in childbirth and the two
girls, Carrie & Louise, were raised in an orphanage in
Cincinnati. She also had a brother, Ed, and a half-sister
Catherine (Miller).
At the age of 25 she married Anthony Ziegler, who was
recently widowed with 6 children, one an infant named
Susanna, who died at about 1 yr. She and Anthony had 8
children, one of whom died in infancy. Two of their sons, Joe
and Bill, were mentally handicapped.
Carrie, Rose, Victoria, Katherine, Anna, Mary, Katherine, Anton, Anthony,
Nettie, Frank, Raymond, Theresa
Joseph,
George
About 1900, Carrie persuaded her husband to move from their farm
in the country into Lawrenceburg so the children could go to
Catholic school. They bought 100 acres there, and their home at
524 Front St. was a large, square brick house with barn &
outbuildings in back, dropping steeply to the farmland below, but
unfortunately it was in the floodplain of the nearby Ohio River. The
floods of 1927 and 1937 came up to their 2nd story of the house,
and all the furniture downstairs that could not be moved upstairs
was ruined, including a piano.
In the 1940's, about half of their land was taken by condemnation,
so that a levee for flood control could be built. Later, a Seagram’s
Distillery plant was built on part of the property that had been
taken, causing much bitterness. They sold another parcel to build
the public high school.
Copy of
photograph
found at the
Ziegler home in
Lawrenceburg
at the time of its
sale, after the
deaths of all of
the family. This
is probably the
home of
Anthony R.
Ziegler at “Sand
Run”, the
original
homestead.
Uncles Frank and Bill ran the farm, and Aunt Nettie sold
milk and cheese, and kept house. Uncle Joe spent
many years at the state hospital at Madison doing farm
work there. Aunt Ceil, the youngest, returned home
after her husband died and WWII ended, and was
employed as an executive secretary at Schenley
Distillery. These four kept the farm and house going for
many years.
“Our family visited Lawrenceburg nearly every summer during
these years and Dad helped in the fields with the uncles. As the
only children in the family at the time, we were fussed over by
all the aunts & uncles, including Aunt Rose & Uncle Otto
Wellcamp, who lived nearby in Aurora. It was a great treat for
my brother & me to ride in the hay wagon, play in the barn or
ride horseback.
There was no indoor plumbing until after the war, and
everything was done in the “old way”. Uncle Frank never
owned a tractor and continued to farm with a team of horses.
We were there at least once during the threshing when men
came from all around to help, and a huge dinner was prepared
at noon. It was truly the end of an era.”
--- MCK 2002
Carrie was an invalid for a number of years before her
death at age 67. She died of lung congestion and
paraplegia. The unmarried children continued to live at
the home.
“I don’t remember hearing much about Grandfather
Anthony, except that he was very stern and expected the
children to work hard from a very early age, while Carrie
tried to be more lenient.”

1893, where he lived
with his wife, Rosa.
Rosa Ringman
died from a kidney
disorder shortly after
giving birth to their
second son, Eddie.
Although they lived in
Indiana, Edward put his
sick wife on a train to a
better hospital in
Cincinnati, probably
because he couldn’t get
away from the grocery
store to travel with her.
She died there.
Edward then married
Ellen Bernadette Heeb
about three years later.
They took the two boys
with them on their
honeymoon to Atlantic
City. They had 8 more

In east central Indiana,
Connersville lies in the beautiful
Whitewater Valley amidst rich,
rolling farmland, 60 miles from
Indianapolis, Dayton, and
Cincinnati.
Connersville boasts a strong
business heritage dating back to
John Conners’ first trading post in
1805.
Connersville has a comfortable
lifestyle, friendly people, and easy
access to the big city without all
the big city hassles.
After the turn of the century,
Connersville plunged headlong
into the automobile era. Between
1905 and 1937, ten different
automobiles were built there, but
in 1937, 3000 cars were built.
There is now a broad range of
manufacturers there, from farming
to furniture, toys, and musical
instruments.
The pioneers who settled
Connersville in the early
1800’s brought strong faith
and religious beliefs, as
reflected in the stately and
historic houses of worship.
Faith is a big part of
community life in
Connersville.
More than 50 churches
represent all major
denominations.
Habitats for Humanity
offers another venue
for fellowship in the
community. The
community Sharing
Foundation, a local

provide volunteers, tutors, and role
models for young students.
