#OTD 6 January 1855, Christina nee Voßeler, 44, wife of Michael Voßeler, died in Tuningen, Württemberg. The couple had only one living child, a 14-year-old son named Johann Georg. Michael, 46, decided it was a good time to emigrate.

Michael and his son sailed on the ship Oregon from Le Havre to New York, arriving in September, 1855. He had relatives in various places in the United States. Although I am not positive, I believe he settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. His son's fate is unknown. He was the older brother of my great-great-grandfather.
