- We know from the post cards that she was living in Northrop with PeterJuhl (Jr.) and with Dora Juhl in Northrup as well at different times.Example: Post card dated December 28th, 1923 from Monmouth, Iowa, toPeter Juhl Northrop, Minnesota, Box 45, Martin County, Anna to Dearbrother (Peter), "how's Mother...we are planning to move back up byJoy sometime this winter..."

Other variations seen on records of Hedwig's first name have been:Hedwek, Hedwik.
The U.S. Census Records 1900 Scott County, Davenport, Iowa gives usmore details about Hedwek Juhl. She and her husband Peter Juhl hadeight children who were all born in Germany with six living at thetime of the census. Only three were listed on the census as stillbeing at home, George, Hans Nicholas, and Anna. They immigratedtogether in 1892 with their family to Davenport, Iowa. In 1877, theywere both 23 years old when they had been married. And, since theirson Peter was born in Hamburg, Germany 1877, and we know it to be alarge shipping port for Northern Germany, we will assume that is wherethey had also lived prior to immigration. Also, at the time of thecensus they had lived in Davenport, Iowa for 8 years. (A copy of itis in the Juhl/Elkins Family Volume.) In the U.S. Census for 1910 forMartin County, Minnesota, nearly the same information is given abouther, and she is referred to as "Hattie [Transcribed 20 Nov.2004-S.L.Juhl, compiler]".
