Sophia Loewenhagen [1834 – 1905] Chilton Times --- February 26, 1905
With the death of Mrs. Sophia Loewenhagen, which occurred at one o'clock on Wednesday, another old settler passed away. The deceased was born in Germany 71 years ago and some fifty years ago she came to New Holstein. She kept house for her brother a few years and then was married to Lorenz Loewenhagen and lived on a farm 2 ½ miles west of the village. In 1862 her husband enlisted in the army and died in a hospital in Georgia. Mrs. L. was appointed postmistress of the village and held the position for some 24 years. She was a woman whom everyone liked because of her kind disposition. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon.
They had two children Mathilda b 1861 and Friedrich Born 1862 - 1928
Friedrich, or Fred as he was called, surveyed for the mines in Thomasville and Aspen and then later for the narrow gauge Uinath Railroad here in Colorado and Utah, and platted the town of Fruita and did the water sytstem for Fruita and all the roads around. He was also surveying ditches and irrigation projects. He was injured in a horse and buckboard accident while on a remote surveying trip and later died from his injuries in 1928. It's always been family lore that Lucy's family did not want her to come "West"
