Johannes and Christine Fuerst

A photo of my second great grandparents, Johannes and Christine (Benszinger) Fuerst, in front of their home in Hutchinson County, Dakota Territory (now South Dakota). I'm sure this was taken by a traveling photographer from the east. Johannes and Christine were married just before the whole Fuerst family left S. Russia (Ukraine today), to come to the U.S. Christine died in April of 1883, under somewhat mysterious circumstances, in Woodbury County, Iowa, according to the family story. I can't find any document of any sort concerning her death or burial. If anyone knows anything concerning Christine's death, I sure would like to hear from them. [contact link]
