Charles Trogg - Minna Klatt, Elizabeth Luft
Charles was the oldest brother and married twice.
Charles & Minna
Charles and Minna married in 1866 in Demmin, Germany. When their first child, Auguste, was about a year old, they boarded the Silesia and sailed to the United States. Charles and Minna had four more children after arriving in Chicago, Emil, Anna, Emma, and an un-named baby girl. Charles started out as a laborer for a lumber company and finally began an express company. I have no information about Minna's death. Charles remarried in 1877.
Charles & Elizabeth
After Minna's death, Charles married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Luft. They had five children. Sadly, the three oldest children, Louis, John, and Clara all died of diphtheria. Two other children, Amanda and Edward survived to adulthood Amanda and Edward did not marry and lived with each other until Amanda's death in 1976. Edward died the following year.
