Michael and Kate (Bollmeier) Juenger UPDATED
+Juenger.jpg)
This is a story about his parents which was written by Michael Juenger:
The story of Mike Juenger as told by his son Michael
"Son of
George Juenger and Mary Stehl Juenger, Michael was born 19 July 1886, one of
nine children. (Those known, but not in
sequence of birth are: George, Henry-Dick,
Connie, Louis, Nettie and Mike plus 2 other brothers and a sister
unknown EDITORS NOTE: UNKNOWN SISTER I BELIEVE IS CHARLOTTE--SEE PICTURE AT BOTTOM OF POST). He was not the first son and
in the German tradition was not scheduled to inherit. He joined the military. His Dad and mother were divorced and both
remarried—why or to who is unknown. We
do not know the particulars of this period.
(The stigma of divorce kept Dad from discussing this with his
family.) We do know that he served at
least 2 hitches in the army---one on the Border Patrol along the Rio Grande
during part of the Poncho Villa era and in the Philippines during the
Philippine Insurrection. He joined again
during WWI, but saw no action.
Michael
(Mike) married Anna Katherine (Kate) Bollmeier on the 24th of
December 1918 and became a farmer again.
Charlotte was born on the 18 September 1919. Mike entered Great Lakes Veterans Hospital in
1921 because of a back injury suffered in the Philippines. Kate was pregnant again and in 1922 moved to
Chicago to be near Mike when she delivered.
Mike was a
strict disciplinarian probably due to his German and military background. He was not a demonstrative person and did not
show or openly express love for his family.
But Mike was fun to be around and always had a humorous story or
anecdote that enlivened any group discussion.
He loved to play Pinochle and Euchre.
He was not a drinking man, but he made his own home brew. I never saw him drunk or turn down a drink.
Mike was a
farmer at heart, but after leaving it in 1928-29 he never had the wherewithal
to get back into it. He abhorred debts
and either paid cash or did with out.
For a few years he was a hired farmhand during planting and
harvesting periods, but he was also a barber, carpenter, woodworker and
butcher. All of our farm neighbors invited the family at butchering and Mike
was always the supervisor, ham and bacon trimmer, salting specialist and
smoke house advisor. We had our own
smokehouse and Kate was the sausage maker.
No wonder they were so popular. (For some reason the sentences above are in caps --not by Michael, but by the writer of this post. Please disregard.)
Mike
developed gangrene in his big toe, left foot and lost his leg three years
before he died on 15 October 1962. His
memoirs will note that his six kids married well and none of them or their
spouses has ever run afoul of the law for more than a traffic violation.
Kate was a
great homemaker, Mother and supportive wife.
Anytime Kate disagreed with Mike, the kids were never aware of it. All confidential discussions were either held
at night in their bedroom or in German which we children didn’t understand. The most common mild argument concerned
correct German language. Kate had been
confirmed in the German Lutheran Church and could read, write and speak German
so she always prevailed. Mike spoke low German
flavored with Mexican and Philippine Spanish.
Kate
survived Mike by 17 years. She was a
hardworking cook and dietitian at the local grade school beloved by
everyone. She retired at age 79 and died
at age 84.
Michael Fred
Juenger was born 31 Jan 1922 at 2201 Prairie Ave in Chicago. In April of that year, Mike, Kate and Family
moved to a farm near South Springfield, IL.
A year later they moved to a farm north of Springfield near Sherman, IL. Here they farmed successfully and Virginia
Louise was born 12 November 1925. In
1928 Mike suffered a recurrence of his back problem and was in and out of
government hospitals until his back was fused in 1928. The bank foreclosed in 1929 and Kate and
family moved to Sherman where we lived in 5 different houses during the next 10 years. Mike would come home occasionally, but would
have to return to another Veterans’ Hospital.
In trying for a disability pension, he found that that all the records
of his accident in the Philippines had been destroyed by fire and he was never
approved for a pension.
His disability did not extend to his home life and Mary Matilda was born 10 April 1929, Olga Marlene was born 8 June 1934 and Betty Lou Yvonne was born 29 September 1940.
After his back was fused, Make was again able to work and was a better man at 55 than he was at 40.
Children of Michael Juenger: Art , Virginia (m. W.W. Manning)born
12
November 1925, Henry and Gert (Bollmeier) Kuethe, Mary Juenger (m.
T.Johnson) born 10 April 1929,unidentifed, and Betty Juenger (Fey) born 29
September 1940. Henry Kuethe married Gert Bollmeier, daughter of Happy
Florence Briggs Bollmeier. Gert was born 18 March 1918.

A Post from Ancestry.com:
Yes, my Juenger family is from the Biddleborn, Lively Grove area of Washington County, IL. My Grandfather ran a Molasses Mill, sawmill, and other farmer services om the Lively Grove road about 4 miles or so west of Lively Grove. His name was Phillip Juenger and his son, my father's name is Walter Juenger. I have been told, not sure though, that Phillip Juenger, my Grandfather was born in Washington County, Il but that my Great Grandfather was born in Berlin, Germany. Have had almost no results in finding out him. Great Grandfathers name was Christ Juenger.
