My name is Sam Brungardt. Although I live in St. Paul, Minnesota, I was reared in Ellis County, Kansas, a place where many Catholic Volga Germans settled.
I am interested in Volmer because my great-grandmother was a Huss before she married Johannes Haberkorn of Marienfeld.
About the only thing I know about the Huss family is that they first settled in Volmer and that there was some movement of a Huss either to or from Dehler.
My great-grandfather:
Johannes Haberkorn, was born in Goebel but when he was 2 or 3 years old, he moved with his parents and his older brother, Peter, to Marienfeld.
When the Haberkorns lived in Marienfeld, my great-grandfather married Elisabetha Huss. I don't know which village she was from, possibly Volmer (because that's the only colony in which I've been able to find the Huss name.
In 1875:
Johannes Haberkorn (b 5 Dec 1850 at Goebel, Russia; d 25 Dec 1919 at Marienfeld, Russia), son of Adam Haberkorn (b. about 1824 at Goebel Russia; d. ? at Marienfeld, Russia) and ?, m. Elisabetha Huss (b ? April 1852 or 1853 at ?, Russia; d. ? April 1920 at Marienfeld, Russia).
They had the following children: 1. Elizabetha Haberkorn (b. 17 Jan 1876 at Marienfeld, Russia; d. 30 Jun 1958 at Hays, Kan.) m. Alexander Herman on 28 Aug 1893 at Victoria, Kan. 2. Susanna Haberkorn (b. 19 Feb 1878 at Marienfeld, Russia; d. 16 Jul 1953 at Loretto, Kan.) m. John R. Stremel on 14 Jan 1896 at Pfeifer, Kan. 3. Anna Maria Haberkorn (b. 6 Jul 1887 at Marienfeld, Russia; d. 27 June 1975 at Hays, Kan.) m. Peter A. Dinkel on 18 Feb 1908 at Victoria, Kan. 4. Johannes Haberkorn (b. 10 Jan 1889 at Marienfeld, Russia; d 1918 at Josefstal, Russia) m ? in Russia 5. Margaretha Haberkorn (b. 11 Dec 1891 at Marienfeld, Russia; d. ? at ?, Russia) m. ? Burgardt in Russia
In 1892:
Johannes Haberkorn and his family emigrated from Marienfeld, Russia, via Hamburg, Germany, on the SS California, landing at Ellis Island in New York harbor on 18 Apr 1892.)
6. Apollonia Haberkorn (b. 21 Oct 1893 at Pfeifer, Kan.; d. 10 Feb 1978 at ?, Russia) m. Johannes Dieser in Russia 7. Josef Haberkorn (b. 6 Apr 1895 at Pfeifer, Kan.; shot to death on 31 Dec 1937 at Saratov, Russia) m. ? 8. Anton Haberkorn (b. 31 Dec 1897 at Pfeifer, Kan.; shot to death on 31 Dec 1937 at Saratov, Russia) m. ? 9. Adam Haberkorn (b. 31 Dec 1897 at Pfeifer, Kan.; d. 9 Mar 1901 at Pfeifer, Kan.) 10. Caspar Haberkorn (b. 5 Jul 1900 at Pfeifer, Kan.; d. ? at ?, Russia) m. ?
In 1909:
Johannes Haberkorn and Elisabetha Huss Haberkorn returned to Marienfeld, Russia, with all their children except their three oldest daughters, who had already married. Johannes Haberkorn bought at least part interest in a mill in Marienfeld, where he had worked before he went to the United States.
I hope you or someone else whom you know with a connection to Volmer will be able to provide more info on the Husses.
