Kathryn R. Stevens in letter to Kenneth M. Reim, 8 Aug 1996, stated "At the
Hanke reunion (summer 1996 in Nebraska), we had as our quests Ernst and Joy
Scheunemann from Spring Hill, Kansas.  Ernst grew up in Cordeshagen, and just
missed having to fight in Hitler's army because he was not old enough.  He
immigrated to the US in the 1950's.  He knew of nearby Schmollenhagen, as a
small cluster of homes rather than an organized town, and knew that there were
Treptows living there, although he did not know them."

Letter from Erna (TREPTOW) SABIROWSKY (1894-    ) written in German and
translated in English, dated 11 Apr 1965, Elberfeld, Wuppertal, Westphalia,
Germany, to Alma Dorothea (Dorothy) (NOERENBERG) HAEHLEN (1906-1995), states
"Our grandfather's second wife was actually distantly related to him.  He
remained in Kolberg on the Baltic Sea.  He had known her earlier.  She used to
work as a cook on a large farm in Pomerania."  Further stated "Grandfather
Treptow was able to meet my brother (Kurt), he had come over in 1906 (from the
United States), lived with us in Barmen for a while, and then went to Kolberg
to marry."

In 1871, the German Empire was formed; prior to that date Germany consisted of
a Confederation of States, of which Prussia was one.  Rulers of Prussia were
King Frederick William IV ruled 1840-1861, then his borther King William I
(1797-1888) ruled 1861-1888, being crowned Emperor of Germany in 1871.  Then
his son was Emperor Frederick III (1831-1888) ruled during 1888, the year he
died; followed by his son Emperor Kaiser William II (1851-1941) who  rulled
1888-World War I.
