Notes on the Family Haneberg/Schwoon, by Martin Lottermoser
Name: Also listed as Heinrich HANEBERG
On 25 October 1882, Emma emigrated from Bremen, Germany to Hawaii, on the ship, Elbe, accompanied by her brother Armin.
Emigrated to Koloa, Hawaii in 1869, had a managemant position and shares in several sugar cane plantations.
Immigration: 29 April 1878 to New York from Bremen, Germany aboard the "S.S. Donau." Emigrated to Hawaii at age 27 and was engaged in the sugar cane business with his brother, Adolph. They also owned and managed a sheep farm in Humu'ula, southeast from Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The children listed here for August and Mary Keala Kalai were not August's. Otto is very much in question as a member of this family. In August's will, he wrote: "To pay the balance of the net income of my said trust estate in equal shares to my four adopted children, being the children of Mary Keala, namely to Johanne Haneberg Correa, Emma Desha, Henry Haneberg and George Haneberg, as long as they respectively shall survive..." It appears that Ida Margaret also was not a child of August. Emma and Johanne were adopted as adults on 11 July 1913, four months after the death of his wife, Henriette. August became a US citizen on 8 October 1904 in Honolulu.
Immigration: Boarded the North German Lloyd line "S.S.Elbe" from Bremen, Germany with wife, Emma, arriving in New York 6 Nov 1882. No children were listed with them. Armin emigrated to Hawaii to help his brothers with the sheep farm in Humu'ula. Armin stopped working with his brothers and went to work for H. Hackfeld & Co. as a traveling auditor for its many sugar cane plantations. At the time he was also president and manager of the Kaeohe Rice Mill Co. When the US entered the First World War, H. Hackfeld & Co. was treated as enemy property from October 1917 onwards, and after the German owners had been dispossessed in early 1918, Armin was dismissed from the firm on 31 March 1918. He died 3 years later. At this time he was still president of the Kaeohe Rice Mill Co., and still a German citizen. Helene survived her husband by almost 40 years.
On 26 June 1912, the 20th birthday of her son Eugen, Eugenie committed suicide by gas, according to tradition because her husband cheated on her. She was 54 years old. (From Notes on the Family Haneberg/Schwoon)
