Note: Notes for Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand Mundstock: That's how his name was written on his 1888 marriage record. In the United States, his forst name was written as Charles or Carl.
Karl emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1884 or 1885.

The 1889-1890 Milwaukee directory shows Charles Mundstock living at 2221 Elm, in Milwaukee. His occupation was listed as a "teamster". That meant he worked with teams of horses.
Charles/Carl and Carolina's first child, Arnold, died at the age of one in 1890. The couple's second born child, Emil, died at the age of eight in 1898.
The 1890 U.S. census records were accidentally burned or damaged by water in 1921. Most of the remaining records were destroyed about 1934.
The 1900 U.S. census had an effective date of June first. The Mundstock home was enumerated June thirteenth.

They all lived in a home at 926 22nd Street, Milwaukee. Charles' occupation was still a teamster. It was written that Caroline Mundstock had given birth to seven children, but only five were still living.
