  Mildred Ringering once told her daughter that her grandmother's name was Anna Marie, but I haven't proven it. Her grandmothers were Grandma Marie Hildebrand and Grandma Marie Witt and there is question as to which one she was talking about ------ Prob. Stafford Courier, Stafford, KS Circa Feb. 8, 1923 Maria Hildebrand, nee Dressler, war born March 8th, 1853, in Friedrichsbrueck, near Hessen Cassel, Germany. In 1875 she was united in marriage with Franz Hildebrand. Eight years later, she, with her family, migrated to this country and founded the new home in the new country at Ellinwood, Barton county, in this state. Through the influence of Christian neighbors and friends she soon learned to know Christ as her personal savior, was baptized in 1884 by Rev. H. Wilms and united with the German Baptist church, near Ellinwood, Kansas. In 1907, she, with her family, came to this vicinity and, when in 1909, the German Baptist church of this place was organized, she had her membership transferred to here and remained a faithful member until death. To her and her now bereaved husband twelve children were born, all of who but one survive the mother. The six sons, William, Louie, Charley, John, Henry and Ernest are all prosperous farmers near Stafford. The five daughters are, Martha, wife of H.S. Fritzemeier; Freida, wife of John Thielenhaus of Bison, Kansas; Anna wife of Sam Litche; Louisa, wife of William Witt of Bison, Kansas; and Mary, wife of William Budde. Besides the eleven children she leaves to mourn her death her aged husband, Franz Hildebrand, six daughters-in-law, five sons-in-law, forty grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, besides a host of other relatives and friends both here and in Germany. Two years ago she was stricken with heart trouble which was followed by a complication of other troubles. Although in poor health and knowing that she was gradually growing weaker, she remained cheerful and contented. Two weeks prior to her death her suffering grew more intense and, knowing that she was facing death, she bore it all without a murmur and on February 6th, 1923, as the age of 67 years, 10 months and 29 days her spirit took flight to Him who gave it. She was an active member in the church and also in the Ladies Aid. �Grandma Hildebrand,� as she was known, was loved by all who knew her. �Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth; yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them. Funeral services were held in her home on Thursday, February 8th, conducted by her pastor Rev. W.H. Buenning, and the remains were taken to their final resting place, the Feldhut cemetery, where they now rest in peace. ------ Family Tree Maker; International Resources: German immigrants first began arriving in the New World in the late 17th century, with a major settlement established at Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1683. Large-scale immigration did not begin, however, until the War of Spanish Succession, a quarter century later, devastated the German Rhineland. Thousands of German refugees emigrated to England, from which many were transported by the British to New York and Pennsylvania. From this time until after the Second World War, repeated cycles of political unrest and conflict caused large numbers of Germans to flee their homelands for the United States.
  Indeed, since 1820, more Germans have immigrated to the U.S. than any other national group. ------ The German born persons that were on the 1920 census often used "American" names to show their allegiance to the US. Such is the case for Marie Witt, shown as "Mary Witt", and Franz & Marie Hildebrand shown as "Frank & Mary Hildebrand".
