Continued: The following information was written by Hattie Meyer Wilucki, Heinrich Rudolph Kück's granddaughter:
"Heinrich Rudolph Kück married Sophia Magdalena Hellmers in Bremen, 1828. They had six children, as follows:
"Sophia Kück married Carl Bruening and had three children, Elly, Hedwig and Greta, none of whom married.
"Lily Elise Kück married August Guye and had four children. Lily Guye married John Max Wulfing. Their children were Hildegard (Tavener) Lucy (Fitzgerald) Helen (Meyer) and one son, who died as a young boy. Adele Guye married Harry Riesenberg. No children. Annie Guye. Not married. Alice Guye married Heinrich Klencke of Bremen, Germany and had one daughter Irene, married to Theodore Fritzi and their daughter is Barbara, married to Chas. Wulfing.
"Wilhelmina Kück married John Philip Meyer and they had eleven children, seven daughters and four sons. Wilhelmina was born in Bremen, Germany, June 5, 1840 and died in Rye Beach, N. H. after a few days illness of pneumonia, July 13, 1919.
"The three sons of Rudolph Kück left Germany as they became of age for America and settled in the South. Two were lost in the Civil War and the third one married and made his home somewhere in eastern Illinois.
"The mother died shortly after the youngest child Lily was borne and the family were raised by a nursery governess and housekeeper. When the three girls were old enough to travel, they came to America with their father, landing in New Orleans and settled later in in St. Louis. After they were all married their father returned to his home in Bremen to spend the rest of his days."
