August and Emilie
Sacker (Saaker) Kutz immigrated to America, arriving
in New York, 28 May 1869 on the ship
"America". The passenger list indicates they were
from Saagen, Regenwalde, Pomerania.
They were married
in Pomerania on 11 November
1863. They made their home at 617 W. Oak,
Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota.
August's death
certificate states his father's name is Karl.
Emilie's death certificate states her father's name is
Albert. Since there are no records in Pomerania from
before the time of WWII, I can not locate any birth
certificates, nor can I research August's
ancestors. I would welcome all suggestions as to
alternate sources other than the census records and the church
and cemetery in Stillwater.
He was a
carpenter/cabinet maker and helped his son, Herman, build a
home for Herman's family at 719 South Seventh Street
in Stillwater in 1891. The family occupied the home
until the 1970's when it was sold
This house had
an enclosed porch on the second floor where the
family members who were suffering from tuberculosis would
sleep at night in the belief that the night air would
cure them. Tillie was afflicted with TB in the early 1930's and
was confined to the sanitarium for eighteen years.
Walter's son, Ralph, died at the age of twenty from
tuberculosis. .
Herman helped to found St.
Peters Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stillwater.
He also helped construct the original building. His son,
Carl, painted three pictures of Christ that hang in the
fellowship hall to this day.

Do you know this man? This is a tintype that was found with my grandmother's
things when she died. It is just a small tintype photo
with no identification. If you know this man's
identity, please contact me. I believe he was a Kutz or
Plaster relative, although he could also be a
Marty.

Helen Dorothea
Ottilie Kutz was born in Stillwater, Minnesota, 18 February,
1899. She was the daughter of Herman August Edward Kutz
(1865 - 1943) and Otillie Bertha Plaster (1872 -
1956). She married Herbert Ludwig (Louis) Marty on 1
June, 1921, at St. Peters Evangelical Lutheran Church in
Stillwater, Minnesota. In 1926, they
purchased eighty acres in Clear Lake, Wisconsin, where
they raised dairy cows.
There was no
electricity out that far then, so they used kerosene
lamps. They never had indoor plumbing. They had
the little red house out back. Baths were taken in
the back room off the kitchen in a tin washtub.
Robert, their
youngest son, installed piping for running water to the sink,
but not until the late 1940's. Until
then, Helen had a pump in her sink where she pumped
the water and then heated it on the stove.
They lived there
until their deaths, two weeks apart, in December, 1975 and
January, 1976. There are some in the family that say Grandma
Helen died of a broken heart. She "took to her bed and
never got up again."
