Notes
a. Note:   Fritz Gruhne, Auswandererlisten Des Ehemaligen Herzogtums Braunschweig, Ohne Stadt Braunschweig und Landkreis Holzminden, 1846-1871 (Wolfenbuttle State Archives: 1971, Braunschweiger Geschichtsverein, Forstweg 2, D-38302 Wolfenbuettel)
 (German Newspapers listed intent to leave the country)
 BODENSTEIN, Johann Heinrich, Daily laborer, son of the small house owner (?) in Ortshausen, Andreas Bodenstein, married in Bornum on 8 Feb. 1829 to ACHTERMANN, Johanna Marie Dorothee, service maid in Bornum, daughter of Heinrich Jacob Achtermann and N. N. Reinecke. Their Children:
 1. Friedrich Christian, born 13 Jan. 1830,
 2. Johanna Marie Magdalene, born 7 Feb. 1835.
 Announced to leave in 1853 to America.
  On June 7, 1905, after Christian's death, Johanna purchased the property of Caroline E. Jacquith from her heirs. This property containing lots 1, 2, and 3 in block No. 5 in the town of Pilot Knob was sold by Alfred C., Alma, Peter, John, and Clara Jacquith, and Clara E. Kracaw, all of Teller County in the state of Colorado. The Warranty Deed indicates that Johanna purchased the property for $650.00.
  This is the House/Saloon located at 202 S. Bogy Street where her son, Herman, ran the saloon. Johanna sold the property to her son, Herman, on November 6, 1907 for the same price she purchased it for ($650.00). Nelle (Amelung) White, daughter of Herman, lived in this house until her death.
  Arcadia Valley Enterprise Newspaper, Friday, December 6, 1918, Volume 15, No. 41, Page 4, 2nd Column, Johannah Amelung Obituary.
 Mrs. Johanna Amelung of Pilot Knob, died at her home in that place at 6:00 p.m. December the 4th, 1918. She was Miss Johannah Bodenstein, and was born at Hahansen, Germany, February the 9th, 1833, and at the time of her death was 85 years, 9 months and 25 days old. The funeral will be at 2:00 this afternoon, interment will be at the Pilot Knob Cemetery. Mrs. Amelung lived a long and useful life, was consistent member of the Lutheran Church. The Enterprise extends its symphathy to the sorrowing friends left behind.
  At the time of Johanna's death, an article ran in the newspaper acknowledging an Influenza Epidemic. This was part of the nationwide epidemic that caused the death of a great many people.
  There are many cases of Influenza in our town of Pilot Knob. We are glad to say that there have not yet been any fatalities. The Ironton schools were closed again last Friday and will probably remain closed until the first of the year unless there is a decided improvement in conditions before that time.
  On her obituary in the Iron County Register newspaper, it is mentioned that all of her living children attended the funeral. The obituary reads as follows:
 Iron County Register Newspaper, Thursday, December 12, 1918, Volume LII, No. 28 - "Local Brevities," 5th Column, Johanna Amelung Obituary.
 Mrs. Johanna Amelung
 Died at Pilot Knob, Mo., Wednesday, December 4, 1918;
 Mrs. Johanna Amelung, nee Bodenstein, aged 85 years and 10 months.
 The subject of this memorial was born in Yerze, Brunswick, Germany and there reared to maidenhood. In 1855 she came to America, and one year later, at Pilot Knob, was united in Marriage to Christian Amelung. To this union were born six children all of whom survive her: William and Henry of Granite City, Ills.; John and Herman, of Pilot Knob; Edward H. of Indianapolis; and Mrs. Ed Waters, of Festus, Mo. Twenty-Eight grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren have descended from the happy union of sixty years ago.
  In 1903 Christian Amelung, the consort of the deceased, after nearly fifty years of connubial felicity, passed to the Great Beyond, regretted by all who knew his honest and kindly nature. Since his death the widow has lived in the care, welfare and happiness of the family, and the children have made good in all the essentials of life and character, vindicating the love and teaching of their parents. They were all present to pay the last sad tribute to the mother who bore them. To them I tender my sympathy in the hour of their bereavement.
  [Marcine's Note: I'd like to note that her immigration was actually in 1853 as one year later she married her husband in 1854.]
  OLD TIME STORIES:
 The Card Game
 There are always the "old stories" that are handed down in the family, Kathleen Ferguson remembers a story her own mother told her about her grandma Amelung. It seems that Johanna's boys liked to play cards and would stay out late playing at a friends house, usually till midnight, and they would have to go past the cemetery to get to and from their friends house. So Johanna decided to play a joke and get even with them for staying out so late all the time. So she grabbed a sheet and down to the cemetery she headed to wait for them (as a ghost of course). When they came through she put the sheet over her head and threw rocks at them. The kids never knew till years later that it was their mother.
  My aunt Edna, always told me that her grandma Amelung was a "classy" lady. She always dressed to perfection and had everything in it's place.
