posted by Lydia (Strubbe) Gardner on Tuesday, May 11, 1999: I am looking for any information on any STRUBBE that settled in Nebraska. Most settled in Indiana after coming from Germany...except for Henry Strubbe Sr., who left Indiana around 1874 and headed for Nebraska. Henry Strubbe was married to Sarah COLTMEYER(OR KAULTMEYER) and they had Laney, Louis, Elizabeth, Frank, Amelia, and Ida. Louis Strubbe was the youngest, born in the fall of 1872 in Indiana, but his obituary was seen years ago by a relative in a Nebraska paper. Last year, a letter from a Strubbe from California arrived and was inquiring about family history. Her mother was adopted by a Louis and Ollie Strubbe along with other children (Frances, Jack O., and Edna Marie)....she went on to state that her mother married her adopted cousin Floyd William Strubbe, son of Harold and Anna Strubbe. Interesting....so I am trying to find anything on any Strubbe in Nebraska. Would appreciate any info ! Lydia (Strubbe) Gardner PO Box 692

Hermon died 27 May 1906, however, there is no death certificate on file in Lincoln.
