See headstone and info at Find A Grave Memorial ID 59855967 In the Bruckner Bible and written in German, her name is Karohlina Harieth Bruckner. WRITTEN BY HATTIE YAKLE AND READ AT ONE OF FAMILY REUNIONS HELD AT CITY PARK, HERINGTON, KANSAS. Paul Bruckner was born Sept. 13, 1845 at Lindenburg Socks Meingern, Germany. May 1869 he sailed to America with Sophia Roser of Rotheul Socks, Meingern, Germany, landing at Baltimore, Maryland. There he worked on a farm to earn money to go further. Later he came to Winchester, Ill. and then married Sophia Roser, Sept. 13, 1869. There they lived for five years where Louis and George were born. Then in 1874 they moved to Mendota, Ill where they lived on a farm. While there brother John was born, also Hattie was born there Jan. 25, 1875. Feb. 1878 they came to Kansas, landing in Abilene. They bought the site homestead of 80 acres, 5 miles northeast of Hope, Kansas and lived there one year. In the winter of 1879, the four children all took scarlet fever and were just recovering when on the night of Feb. 23, 1879 a huge prairie fire came upon us, burning our house, stable, team of mules, cow and calf, chickens, in fact most everything we had. But mother got us children out of the house before it fell. Also an armful of bedding which she placed on the ground and put us children on it and we were there several hours before anyone could come to our rescue. Father had run through the hot ashes to cut the ropes from the mules, burning his feet and hands and arms severely, so he was laid up for some time. But by the kindness of the people and good neighbors, they put us up a small house. Then father worked the rest of the summer to get another team of horses and a cow. One horse was black and the other one a blend bay and the cow was white. Sister Minnie was born Jan 6, 1880. Sister Anna was born May 28, 1882. In September 1882 we moved to the farm north of Delavan where we lived in pioneer days. Had lots of sickness in the family which made it hard on all of us. But we were blessed with lots of good things too. This is where the rest of the children were born. Charley was born June 8, 1884. Eva was born July 20, 1886. Sophia was born Oct. 19, 1888. Edward was born March 5, 1891. August was born May 26, 1893. In October 1893 we all contacted typhoid fever, but all recovered without the loss of one. Father passed away April 2, 1916 and our family circle was broken. November 7, 1920 Lewis passed away. March 23, 1922 mother was taken. January 1, 1925 Ed was struck by a train at Wilsey, died Jan. 4, 1925. So this has made our family circle broken up, but we must cheer up and look around us and try and cheer up and see all the blessings we have received all these days since. See the number of our brothers and sisters and their families, that we can meet with today and hold this reunion in honor of our Father, Paul Bruckner on his birthday anniversary of Sept. 13, 1845.
