  [S76] Research of Sue Zeni and Tricia Hunstock. Came to California via New York in 1884 with parents -or- Martha and August Hucke came first bought land in Oregon - Sophie and Conrad came before rest of family and bought land Suffered from bouts of malaria Sophie met John Auwärter ‘while both were working for the Ritchies (Anna Schaumlöffel and John Ritchie) on the ranch. They were married on January 18, 1885. Papa said he had $500 saved -- he was 25, she was 21. They moved to a place not far from the Ritchie ranch and he put in a crop of barley. When it was almost ready to harvest, a strong north wind came along and blew it all down and he was $1500 in debt.’ When she died she left $6,000 to her husband and the rest to her 2 surviving children., I think that Grandma's house was at 234 Park Street (Pacific Grove). When we last saw it, they had built an upstairs on it, and I believe had painted it blue. When next we go down there, I will check it out because I would recognize it. There was still just the one-car garage attached, and I don't believe there was more property to make it a two-car garage. -- Libby BAVA At Sophie’s father, Johannes’s, death, her brother August distributed the remaining “land fund” money that Johannes Hucke and Martha Elisabeth Dittmar had given to August for purchasing land in California to Sophie and her brother, Martin. The other siblings had used their share of the “land fund” money over time. --From Donald Schuder, http://web.me.com/echs1968/Hucke-Dittmar/Sophie_HuckeA.html
