go up: Johann Albert Marten's parents

Corrections, comments, and questions sent to the email address at the bottom of the page are very welcome.

Johann Albert Marten and Lydia Neuhaus had three children.

2.7.1 Paul Marten
Born March 30 1908
Married Viola Wickesberg on February 1 1936
Died June 12 1987 in the Town of Herman, buried in the Immanuel Church Cemetery

Paul and Viola took over the Marten family farm in the Town of Herman and ran it until their retirement. They had three children, one of whom ran the farm until his retirement. Now a grandson continues to run the Marten family farm as a prosperous operation.

The Marten homestead has been in the Marten family and has been a working dairy farm from the time of the original Lipper Settlers in 1847 until the present day.

2.7.2 Irma Marten
Born August 31 1912
Married Elmer Kuhfuss on March 2 1935
Elmer died August 2 1946
second marriage to Carl Dannenberg on July 1 1953

2.7.3 Hilda Lydia Marten
Born June 5 1918
Married Paul Reineking on August 29 1936
Died September 24 2005

If you follow all the family lines, Hilda and Paul were both descended from the original Lipper Settlers and were related to each other as second cousins. The fact that they were related shows the close ties many of the Lipper descendants felt even several generations after the original Lipper Settlers arrived.
