- Gottlieb and his 2nd wife, Wilhelmina & children, and Gottlieb's son by his 1st marriage, came to USA in 1898. They settled in Odessa, WA, where Gottlieb and his son, Gustof farmed. Later they were caretakers at the Odessa Cemetery. Gottlieb, Wilhemina, and many of their children are buried at the Odessa Cem., Odessa, WA. [research by Doris Lobe]
According to the Ellis Island records, Gottlieb and Wilhelmine Lobe and children sailed from Hamburg Germany on April 3, 1898 on the ship SS Patria. They arrived at the Port of New York on April 17, 1898. The Ellis Island manifest lists the family as Gottlieb age 44, Wilhelmine age 36, and six of their children as: Gustav age 22, Emilie age 17, Selame (Selma) age 11, Madga age 8, Marie age 6 and Nathanel as age 3. John G. Lobe was born in the USA. (The handwritten ship's manifest spells the name as Wilholmine, however the Ellis Island passenger record printout spells the name as Wilhelmine & Nathanel instead of Nathaniel).
The ships manifest had a list of questions regarding each individual. Gottlieb was listed as a farmer and his family could read and write. Their nationality was listed as Russian and the final destination was to be Kulm, ND. They paid their own way to America and arrived with $100.00 in cash. They had no relatives in America to join. Their health was good and nobody was deformed or crippled and no one had ever been in prison.
The ship Gottlieb and his family sailed on to America was built by Chanteris de la Mediterranee, La Seyne France, in 1913. The ship was 11,885 gross tons; 412 (bp) feet long; 59 feet wide. Steam triple expansion engines, with twin screws. Service speed 16.1 knots. 2,240 passengers (140 first class, 250 second class and 1.850 third class). The ship was built for the Fabre Line, French flag, inn 1913, and intended for the Mediterranean area-New York Service. The ship was salvaged and scrapped in 1952.
Gottlieb's death certificate shows his DOB as Aug 15, 1852, and his mother's maiden name as Christina Marx. This secondary information is believed to be incorrect. Gustav Lobe provided the information and signed the certificate. As per the death certificate, Gottlieb was 62 years, 8 months and 11 days old when he died of cancer of the stomach. It states Gottlieb died on August 26, 1914 in the town of Odessa, Adams Co - but Odessa is in Lincoln Co. The Odessa City Clerk has no record of Gottlieb buried in Odessa Cemetery, however the Lind, Washington City Clerk has a record of a Gottlieb Lobe buried August 26, 1914 in the Hoffnungsberg Cemetery with an age listed as that of 60 years old.
Gottlieb is buried in the Hoffnungsberg Cemetery which is close to what was the small town/church of Batum about 14 miles south of Odessa. There is a large marker at the cemetery site which says Huffnungsberg Cemetery, established 1907, Adams Co. Centennial Committee. Today, only a grain elevator is marked as Batum. [Information provided by Jim and Sharon Weniger]
Gottlieb probably died on their farm which was in Adams County; closest town was Batum (to the cemetery as well) but think that whole area/community went to Odessa for everything --- mail was probably routed from there as well. Maria (Leischner) Hille lived there as
well and is buried in Hoffnungsberg --- her obituary lists Odessa as the town and the obituary was published in the Odessa paper as well. [Bill Schulz]
