16b. Johannes Sievers (aka John), the younger brother of Albert,
was born on April 5, 1849
in a little town near Hamburg, Germany called Krummwehl. He was then
baptized on April 20, 1849 in the Evangelisch Lutherische Church
in the nearby town of Beidenfleth. He travelled to the USA from Germany in
1867, possibly on the steamship ALLEMANNIA
, and by 1871 was hired by Charles Hayden to set up the machinery for the original flour mill in Tempe,
Arizona. On January 6, 1882, John Sievers married Eloisa Gallego at the Parish of the Assumption in Tempe,
Arizona. Eventually, John married Catharina Dorothea Schlotmann in 1900
in San Francisco, California. We do not know what happened to
Eloisa. After Catharina died in 1924, John moved in with his nephew
(Catharina's son) Albert John Sievers and his family in Oakland, California to
live out the last year of his life. John died on 14 Aug 1925 in Oakland,
California at the age of 76 from chronic Myocarditis (heart disease), and was
buried next to Catharina (Schlotmann) Sievers in California at Olivet Memorial
Park, 1601 Hillside, Lawn 36, monument 3232.

1888?). Around 1876 or so he married Henrietta Schuett and together they
had 8 children. Christian died on February 28, 1943 in Alameda County,

24. David Ross was born in Cromarty, Scotland. The home he was born in is still standing and is a historical landmark. He took part in the Crimean War in her majesties navy and was present at the taking of Sebastapol. Most of the exact information about his family is sketchy, but his obituary notes that he was the son of John Ross and grandson of David Ross, all of Cromarty. David died in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, alone in the forest, apparently either having lost his way or had a heart attack while hunting. See article here
