    Notes:

    A blog post summarizing what I know about Carl Diefenbach.

    Immigration:
    Immigration date is unclear. The 1910 Census shows 1896; the 1920 Census shows 1893. The 1930 Census shows that his mother immigrated in 1889. However, the manifest for the Munchen shows a Carl and Margaretha arriving in Baltimore (via New York) on 25 May 1893. They were bound for Columbus, Ohio to meet Carl's father and Margaretha's "man."

    Carl married Magdelena SCHMIDT on 28 Nov 1907 in Franklin County, Ohio, USA. Magdelena (daughter of John M SCHMIDT and Magdalena SCH) was born on 29 Oct 1877 in West Jefferson, Madison County, Ohio, USA; died on 17 Oct 1948 in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio, USA; was buried on 20 Oct 1948 in Green Lawn Cemetery, Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio, USA.

    Notes:

    -There are two "Zion Lutheran" churches in the Columbus area, and neither seems to have ever been near Mound & 3d. Trinity Lutheran, however, is at Fulton & 3d. Was Trinity ever called Zion? Was one of the Zions using Trinity's builidng in 1948?

    -Emailed Trinity Lutheran with history questions.
    Mr. Mueller,

    The Zion Lutheran Church that you are searching for has moved from Mound and Third St. They are now located on South High Street and their contact information is:

    Address: 766 South High Street Columbus, OH 43206

    Phone: 614-444-3456

    Email: zionlcms@sbcglobal.net

    I called and spoke briefly with Vicki, their secretary. She stated that they
    have some records on Magdalena (baptism and confirmation) but no death records.
    I would recommend contacting Zion directly and they should be able to assist you.

    Hope this helps.

    • Residence: 19 Apr 1921, Middleport, Meigs County, Ohio, USA

    Notes:

    The LUBASKI name appears in several different forms in various records, including LUSBASKI, LABUSKI, and LAWBUSKI. I believe LUBASKI to be the correct spelling (6 APR 2007).

    After further examination of the 1930 Census (S221), I think I've been misinterpreting James' middle initial as a G rather than an S. (21 May 2012)

    James married Blanche ARNOLD on 19 Apr 1921 in Pomeroy, Meigs County, Ohio, USA. Blanche (daughter of Milton ARNOLD and Effie [ARNOLD]) was born on 12 Jan 1903 in Clifton, Mason County, West Virginia, USA; died on 13 Feb 1995 in Westerville, Franklin County, Ohio, USA. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    There's a 1940 US Census record for Blanche Miller, married to Harry Miller, living in Detroit's 10th Ward. There are 3 Lubaski children living with them: James (13), Paul (11), and Evelyn (9). No mention of Garnet or Violet May, who'd have been 16 at that point. The Census says they were living in the same place in 1935, so whatever happened to James happened between 1930 and 1935. But where were Garnet and Violet?

    Notes:

    Census:
    They were possibly living in/on the "Proehl Allotment," and renting the home for $30/month.
    James was born in Ohio, as was his mother; his father was born in Germany. Blanche and her parents were all born in West Virginia. Blanche was 14 when she married James in about 1921.
    James worked as a machinist for a rubber factory, and was employed at the time of the census. James was also a World War 1 Veteran.
    The Proehl Allotment
    "His (Proehl's) territory was Lockwood Corners and State Mill Rd both of which run off of Manchester Rd. (St. Rt. 93). About 3-4 block area north of this intersection just past the lake you will see Proehl Ave. where it links from Rt. 93 (Manchester Rd.) to Robinson Ave." From a post on the Ancestry.com Summit County, Ohio board regarding the Proehl Allotment

    Immigration:
    Search Ancestry.com Immigration Records for "Luise Diefenbach" between 1890-1893. Also shows hit for "Margth Diefenbach."

    9 Jan 2024 - I've located Carl and Margaretha's arrival on the SS Munchen on 25 May 1893. The Alien Immigrant Manifest indicates they were going to meet Carl's father and Margaretha's "Man" in Columbus, Ohio.

    Louis married Margaretha HERMAN before 1910. Margaretha was born about 1861 in Germany; died after 1920. [Group Sheet]

    • Census: 1930, Columbus, Franklin, Ohio, United States

    Notes:

    Census:
    I am not certain that this census record is for the same Louis DIEFENBACH. The immigration years are different (1910 shows 1890; 1920 shows 1893), and the ages are off (1910 shows him to be born about 1850, and age 60; 1920 shows brith about 1857 and age 63). The Census Wards are different, too, but the 1910 shows him living with Carl Joseph DIEFENBACH, and the 1920 Census shows Louis and Margaretha living in their own home by themselves. I need to see the actual census images.

    Notes:

    Magdalena Diefenbach's burial record lists John M Schmidt and Magdelean Schon as her parents. The attached obituary lists 4 siblings:
    1 brother, Jacob Schraldt (sic);
    3 sisters,
    Mrs. Carrie Knorr, Mrs. Mary Schweitzer, Mrs. Rachel Lechner
    Without reading the actual obituary, I can't verify this, but I suspect Jacob's last name to be Schmidt as well. It seems an easy transcription error to make.
