Barbara BRUNN was just six years old when she immigrated to America in 1844 with her parents. They settled in Pusheta Township, Allen County (later to become Auglaize County), Ohio, where Catherine (KLIPFEL) BRUNN’s parents had settled ten years earlier.

Barbara BRUNN married Frank William OCKENFELS in 1858 in Pusheta Township, Auglaize County, Ohio. Frank William OCKENFELS was born on March 10, 1835 in Prussia (Germany).

By 1880, Frank William and Barbara (BRUNN) OCKENFELS and their children were living in Dingsmansburg, Clinton Township, Shelby County, Ohio. In 1900, Frank William OCKENFELS’s occupation was listed as laborer (Brewery). In the 1910 Clinton Township, Shelby County, Ohio Census, taken on April 18, 1910, Frank William and Barbara (BRUNN) OCKENFELS were living at 20 Brooklyn Avenue, with their daughter Mary C.

More information on this family is in the next Chapter:

“Francis BRUNN and Catherine WARMUTH”.

E lizabeth BRUNN was born on October 15, 1846, 1846 in Pusheta Township, Allen/Auglaize County, Ohio. She was one of a set of triplets, and I am uncertain of their birth order, so she was either the second, third, or fourth of six known children born to John BRUNN and Catherine KLIPFEL.

Elizabeth BRUNN died before 1850, probably in Pusheta Township, Auglaize County, Ohio. I am uncertain where she is buried, but it is likely St. John’s Cemetery, or Ruppert Cemetery.

1870 Census, Pusheta Township, Auglaize County, Ohio, shows Catherine WARMUTH was the oldest of her siblings. Her parents, Michael and Barbara (KILIAN) WARMUTH, had four

other children who had either moved out of home, married, or were deceased by 1870.

Notes for John Brunn - John Brunn was born in Bavaria around 1798 and married Catherine Klipfel, daughter of Joseph Klipfel, in the village of Hausen near Schonungen, Bavaria. This family came to Ohio in 1844 and joined the Klipfel family already established in Pusheta Township, Auglaize County, Ohio. In 1846 triplets were born to this couple in Auglaize County; Francis Brunn survived to adulthood.

BRUNN_KLIPFEL Page �9

1880 Census, Clinton Township, Shelby County The BRUNN family includes: Andy, 32: Rachena (Regina), 32: John, 10; Alfred, 8; Lizzie, 6; Annie, 4; Frank, 2; Charles, 1; and Anna CRESS, 75, who is listed as “Daughter”, but clearly this is Regina BRUNNS’s mother.

The date on this census was June 21, 1880. From the 1900 census, below, it appears Regina (KRESS) BRUNN had two more children after 1880, which means she could not have died in 1880.1900 Census, Clinton Township, Shelby County Andrew BRUNN with his 2nd wife, Mary, with a daughter (Leona) born in 1899. It lists “11” under “Number of Years Married”, which means they were married in 1888 or 1889.

Andrew Anthony BRUNN was born on May 1, 1848 in Pusheta Township, Allen/Auglaize County, Ohio. He was the fifth of six known children born to John BRUNN and Catherine KLIPFEL. Andrew Anthony BRUNN married Regina KRESS on June 23, 1868 in Auglaize County, Ohio.

Regina KRESS was the daughter of ________ and Anna (or Regina?) KRESS. Witnesses at their wedding were John Brunn, Michael Warmuth, Barbara Wehner, and Elizabeth Seifert. [Note: Assume Barbara Wehner is Anthony's cousin Barbara, daughter of Joseph Wehner and Margaret Klüpfel.] In the 1880 Census, Andrew and Regina (KRESS) BRUNN were living in the Village of

Dingsmansburg, Clinton Township, Shelby County, Ohio. Andrew BRUNN was a farmer. One source says Regina (KRESS) BRUNN died on February 20, 1880, but she is listed in the 1880

Census, taken on June 21, 1880. There are also records of children born in 1882 and 1885. Andrew Brunn's second marriage was in 1888 or 1889. It is likely that Regina (KRESS) BRUNN died between November 1885 and early 1888. Andrew Anthony BRUNN died of chronic myocarditis (inflammation of the heart), at the age of 87,

on January 22, 1936, in Shelby County, Ohio. He is buried in Graceland Cemetery, Sidney, Ohio.
