Grams/Gramms

 

     Auguste Emilie Woltmann, born August 17, 1859 in wronezyn bei Pudewitz, Prov Poznan, Germany.  She married Gottlieb Adolf Grams, on December 26, 1882 in Gnesen, Prov Poznan, Prussia, Germany.   

     Augusta and her husband Gottlieb Grams arrived in the United States in 1884 along with their infant son Ehrich. 

     In the 1900 Census they were in Washington County, Texas and the last name was spelled "Gramms".  Seemed that Augusta had a new baby almost every year. 

     In 1900 Gottlieb was 42 years old, and Augusta was 41 years old.

     Children:

Ehrich born June 1884 in Germany.

            Mattie born January 1886,

            Ida born February 1887,

            Annie born August 1888,

            Robert born November 1889,

            Paul born March 1891,

            Herman born May 1892,

            Emil born September 1893,

            Otto born May 1895,

            Emma born January 1897

Augusta born February1898,

Gottlieb born August 1899. 

     The 1910 Census Falls County shows:

 Berta born 1901,

Sophia born1903. 

 

     Gottlieb and Augusta were still living in Falls County in 1920, which showed they were naturalized in 1906.

     Augusta Emilie (Woltmann) Grams died September 23, 1925 in Greenvine, Washington County, Texas and is buried there. 

     After Augusta's death Gottlieb moved to Round Top, Fayette County, Texas.  On January 11, 1930 he married Emma Jahnz, the widowed sister of Augusta Grams.  They were married in the Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church. 

     Gottlieb Gram died in Round Top, Fayette County, Texas in 1944. His second wife, Emma also died in Round Top, Fayette County, Texas in 1949.  They both are buried in the Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery.  Emma is buried between her two husbands. 

     The 1900 and 1920 shows the family as GRAMMS.

 

     Hope this helps those researching "Gramms/Grams in Falls and Neighboring Counties.
