Notes
a. Note:   N36 At some point between 1877, when his son Albert was born in Wisconsin, and the time of the 1880 Census, the family seems to have moved from Wisconsin in order to homestead in Trego County in western Kansas, since the whole family appears in the 1880 Census for that county. For more information on the history of Trego County, see the USGenWeb pages on the <a href="http://www.kancoll.org/books/cutler/trego/trego-co-p1.html">history of Trego County</a>.
 _______________________________
 The following is from a "memory book" about Wilfrid Hedrick, written ca. 2010 by Cristen Liescheidt Luehmann:
  Katherine's father Christian Scheppele fled Germany with his father. The two rowed across the Seine River into France where they signed on a French vessel promising to work on the Panama Canal. When the French gave up on the Canal, Christian and his father migrated north to a climate more like their homeland, Germany. 
 
 Christian married Sarah Allinger; daughter Katherine was born April 25, 1872. 
 
 It was Christian who is credited with persuading William, Katherine and their family to sell their land in Iowa and move to Kansas in 1909. Kansas was a dry state and reasonable land was available. The Dubuque family accused the Kansas relatives of "having a run-a- round on their heel" as Grandfather Scheppele had a reputation for being a "trader"~be it a house, a farm, or a mill. He was a miller and owned several different mills, both in Iowa and Kansas.
b. Note:   Marriage took place at the residence of Andrew Schmitt.
