Notes
a. Note:   st of his paternal family. He was the first of the family to come to America, arriving at New York in October 1842 aboard the ship Baltimore unaccompanied by any relative. After a short stay in New York, he moved on to Reading, Pennsylvania where he secured employment as a farm laborer. Initially he received $4.00 per month for his work, and was later given a raise to $6.00 per month. From these small earnings he managed to start a home of his own. Peter Karst married Anna S. Zeigler in approximately 1844. She was a native of Pennsylvania and a member of the Lutheran Church until the spring of 1865, at which time she became a Catholic.
 On June 29, 1849 Peter Karst’s paternal family, Mr. and Mrs. Martin A. Karst and family immigrated to America. Only Peter’s twin brother, John, remained in Germany until late in 1849 when he also came to America. An uncle and Aunt, Peter and
 Elizabeth (Bosseng) Karst and family, also arrived at New York on the same ship with his parents June 1849. After a short stay at Reading, Pa., the three families moved to Hancock County, Ohio. Peter and Anna (Zeigler) Karst had two children, Peter P., and
 Mary A., at that time. In Eagle Township, south of Findlay, Peter resumed his agricultural pursuits with his father and uncle.
 By 1862, six additional children were born to Peter and Anna. In that year they moved from their home in Union Twp. of Hancock County to a farm near New Bavaria in Pleasant Twp. in Henry County Ohio. Also, Barney, and a daughter, Helen, were born during their tenure in Pleasant Twp. In the spring of 1865 the family moved from New Bavaria to Polk Twp. in Huntington County, Indiana. During the move, their youngest child, Helen, was killed in an accidental fall from a wagon in Huntington County.
 Peter Karst purchased a 160 acre farm approximately six and one half miles southwest of Huntington. The land consisted of heavy timber and swamp. Later he bought two additional 80 acre tracts, a 40 acre tract, and a 30 acre tract. He ditched them all with wooden planks and made them useful for agriculture. He built a store on the corner of his farm. The place was called Harlansburg. A man by the name of Harlan owned a sawmill there. Mr. Karst donated and delivered most of the heavy timber that was used in the construction of the first church in Huntington, Indiana Sts. Peter and Paul Church.
 Peter and Anna (Zeigler) Karst were the parents of six sons and four daughters, They also raised a granddaughter, Annie Keefer, who was but two and one half years old when both of her parents died in 1872.
