Notes:

Johann went by his middle name of Christian. He was born in Ilsfeld, Wurttemburg, Germany to Jakob Obenland and Marie Elisabet Widmann. He was first married to Christiane Luise Schulkraft on April 30, 1854. Christiane was the daughter of Georg Adam Christian and Anne Katherina Vogelman Schuhkraft and was born May 11, 1833. Christiane passed away on Sept. 25, 1858. On May 5, 1859, Christian married Auguste Rosine Peter. Rosine was born to Jacob Friedrich and Sophie Dorothea Rumerlin Peter on January 5, 1827. Christian and Rosine had two children that have been found at this time: Friederika Dorothea Caroline, born on October 31, 1859 and Marie Caroline, born May 22, 1862. In 1882, their two daughters immigrated to the United States. Christian and Rosine followed Friederika and Mary two years later. They left Bremen, Germany on the Elbe and arrived in New York on September 9, 1884. The Elbe was in service from 1881-1895. It was owned by the North German Lloyd shipping line. The ship was built by John Elder & Co., of Glasgow, Scottland. It's maiden voyage was from Bremen-Southampton to New York on June 24, 1881. The Elbe collided with another steamer, the Crathie in the North Sea on January 30, 1895. Over 330 lives were lost when the ship went down. Christian was a blacksmith. The Peoria, Illinois Directory for 1890-1892, lists him working for John Schneider at 100 Cross St., in that town. For some reason, Christian returned to Germany and then came back on the Prussia on September 29, 1894. Christian died in 1897. If he is buried in the same cemetery as his wife, daughters and grandchildren, Bluff City Cemetery has no record of it. His estate was probated in Kane Co., Illinois in 1897 under the name Obenlandt.
