Notes
a. Continued:   Henry Urban is one of the toiling millions whose life has been one of unceasing labor. He was born in 1819 in the smiling little village of Clordra, in SaxeWeimar, Germany. In 1845 he took to wife Hannah Rebe, a native of Ober Geisendorf, of his native country. In 1849 they settled close to their present home. His neighbors were all English speaking people, with whom he was unable to hold converse. He had only one hundred dollars, but soon obtained by laborer's work for others sufficient to purchase forty acres of land, to which he added a few acres at a time, until he now owns one hundred and twenty acres and a comfortable home. His parents were born and died in Germany, and his wife also died there. Their living children are: Mary, Amelia, Benjamin, and Charles.
