- Ancestor: Peter (Sr.) Juhl, b. 06 Apr 1847, Sorupholz(?),Schlewig-Holstein area, d. 20 Aug 1911, Mankato, Blue Earth County,Minnesota; son of Peter Juhl of Germany, as per his son, George Juhl,who gave information on the death certificate. George Juhl did notmention the name of Peter's mother however, and it is assumed thatPeter's mother must have died early in Germany perhaps since thechildren did not know her name. And we also have a photo of Peter'sheadstone that clearly gives the birth and death dates. So, there areno questions about the dates. Buried: 23 Aug 1911, Village ofNorthrup, Rutland Township, Martin County, Minnesota.
Peter's Wife: Hedwig Hattie Peterson, b. Oct 1848, Schleswig-Holsteinarea (census record), d. 12 Mar 1938, Martin County, Minnesota(death index); Her mother & father were both born in the Schleswig,Holstein area according to the 1910 U.S. Feberal Census records.Other spellings of her first name here in America that I've comeacross has been Hedwek or Hedwik. Her nick name was Hattie by thefamily.
Peter & Hedwig were married abt. 1877 per the 1900 U.S. Federal Censusrecords, possibly in Schleswig-Holstein (Sorupholz) area since thefamily did not emigrate until 14 June 1892 to America fromSchleswig-Holstein area out of Hamburg, Germany--to Davenport,Iowa---Ship: Columbia, from the Port of Hamburg;"Residence-Sorupholz, Schleswig, Germany"; 14 Jun 1892-Arrival NewYork, per the Hamburg Passenger Record; then to Davenport, ScottCounty, Iowa before 1900; and of course, he owned a farm in Minnesota.
All of the Children were born in Germany and All of the childrenmarried in America. The last known actual residence of the family waslisted in the ships records as, Sorupholz.

Anna M. Juhl, b. Apr 1892, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany area percensus records and ships record, d. 25 Sep 1971, Martin County,Minnesota; per death index of Martin County, Minnesota
Dora Juhl, b. between 1893-1898, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany areaper census records and ships record, Dora married early and it wasdifficult to track her in the census records and the post cards I haveare all in German and I do not have a good handle on the name of herhusband here in America as yet. This Spring I hope to take the postcards to our German center and see if I can get them all translated.Then I should know more about the family.
NOTE: My husband's father was the above Peter H. Juhl. Peter Sr. wasabt. 64 yrs old when he died, and Peter H. was abt. 92 yrs old when hedied, and my husband is in his 70's now. So, this is a span of abt.230 years between just these three fellows so far, and with allgenealogy more research is required on the family as yet.

Peter's grandson, George Peter Juhl, did not know his grandparents,because they both died prior to George's birth. George has some postcards that have some information on them, and this is where most ofthe information we have at this time came from. The post cards arebeing stored in the Elkins-Juhl Genealogy Volume at the present time.An example: " A post card written in a few lines of German from Peter(Sr.) to his son Peter H. Juhl addressed to Granada, Minnesota dated:June 7, 1909 with a Minnesota stamp." Another post card from DoraJuhl was sent to Peter (Sr.) Juhl in Granada, Martin County,Minnesota, no date, with a one cent priced postage stamp that stateson the front of the card, "To My Dear Dad"; the notation that Dorawrote is in German on the back side of the card. Also, there are manypost cards from Dora and Anna to "Pet" or Peter H. Juhl, theirbrother. A few of the postcards written to Peter H. Juhl are from hisbrother George as well. A total of 35 post cards from family andfriends, at least 14 photo post cards, 38 older family photos, 4 phototins, ten letters available dating from the 1930's to 1975 primarilywritten between Peter and Florence Juhl, plus the funeral book ofPeter Juhl kept by his son George P. Juhl. [14 November 2004,SLJuhl, RNBSC, Compiler & Family Genealogist; sljuhl1234@yahoo.com]
On a photo of Peter (Sr.) Juhl grave stone there is thisinscription-"Peter Juhl, 6 April 1847, 20 Aug 1911, two sentences inGerman (not understood as yet), and then in block letters at the baseof the stone is JUHL., the bottom of the photo is inscribed withPeterson (probably the photographers), Fairmont, Minn." There is nodate on the photo [12 November 2004, SLJuhl RNBSC, Compiler &Genealgist].
Update: George was able to remember more information on his fatherPeter's (Pet) brothers and sisters, George, Nicholas, Dora, Anna, andwe were able to confirm it by the post cards that are available;George also said that there may be an Elmer Juhl, but he is not sure.George said he just knows that Elmer also lived in Minnesota with therest of them. Added the information on 16 Nov 2004. In a handwritten table note by Florence Hand Juhl after Peter Juhl's funeral inJuly 1970, she made a notation of what people had donated and broughtprobably to send out thank you notes to; Florence noted that Elmer andEarl Juhl were both at the funeral, but not exactly where they werefrom. Florence noted only, "Relatives Minnesota" [SLJuhl RNBSC,Compiler].
1900 U.S. Census Records for Davenport, Scott County, Iowa: "PeterJuhl, Vol. 68, E.D. 125, Sheet 11, Line 85, white, b. April 1847, age53, bp.

1910 U.S. Census in Martin County, Minnesota states nearly the samething with exception that children have grown and they can write,read, and speak English. Hedwek is referred to as Hattie. Hans isworking on the family farm, and Peter is working in a factory and thefarm.

*Peter Juhl's mother must have died before his children had gotten toknow her otherwise George probably would have mentioned her name. Isuspect that Peter Juhl's father probably died the year before he cameto America with his family.
Earl & Elmer Juhl along with Edwin & wife (Adelia) Stoltenberg allattended Peter Jr. Juhl's funeral after driving down from Minnesota.This was recorded by Florence Hand Juhl, Peter Jr.'s wife, on a listof relatives who had attended Peter's services along with moneyamounts contributed instead of flowers.
