Conrad and Anna (Putz) Spiess

Not much is known about Conrad, as the ship manifest I found for Anna lists her as a widow. The only reference I have to him in on Fred, Emil and Anna's death certificates and on Fred's Social Security Application.

Anna (Putz) Spiess came to North Dakota from Sulina, Romania in 1910 with her daughter Lydia, Lydia’s husband Joseph Neubauer, and their 8 children. Two of Joseph’s children, Karl and Christ were already in Martin.

The manifest from the President Lincoln, arriving in New York, August 4, 1910

(I also have the page that shows the Neubauers.)

Anna Putz Spiess died on February 7, 1923 in Martin, and is buried there. According to census', she lived her last years with Lydia and Joseph.

I also have quite a bit of information about the Putzes, and eventually I'll get it added here.
