    Notes:

    Elisabeth and Herman were among the group who came from Germany to the U.S. in 1838 and are believed to have been married in Germany. Their first home was Lancaster, Ohio, but in 1839 they heard of cheap land in Illinois and several of the men rode horseback to Illinois to investigate. Finding the stories true, they purchased land in Southern Illinois, in what is now Washington Co., between what later became New Minden and Nashville, Illinois. Our Washington Co. Historical Museum has a record of these purchases made from the Federal Gov't on Dec. 29, 1839, for $1.25 an acre.
    The men then returned to Lancaster to bring their families to Illinois. They travelled in covered wagons, stopping along the way tow ash their clothes in creeks. They had hoped to reach their new home before the birth of Elisabeth and Herman's first baby but were only able to make it to the vicinity of Carlyle. Here their daughter Louise was born in a covered wagon. Elisabeth was attended by a Carlyle doctor and the baby was baptized by a Carlyle minister. After a layover of 3 weeks, the group continued their journey.
    Elisabeth lived a long and useful life and was said to be a very pious individual, who, in later years, when her children and grandchildren came to see her, always had a little prayer with them before they left. The story is also told by some members of the family, that at the time of her death, the hired hand who was in the barn milking, knew she had passed away because a stream of light could be seen coming from Heaven to the house. The Collmeyers were able to provide a farm for each of their three sons - two of which are still in possession of their descendants.
