  • Notes 
    • During the mid 1870's there appears to have been a general exodus of weavers and tailors from Neurode and the surrounding communities in Silesia, most bound for America. In the late 1870's, with his son Hugo, Johannes Hannusch, leaving his wife and the balance of his children behind, put the "Old Country" behind him and set sail for America. Whatever arrangements made for the balance of the family to join them in Canada, of these plans we have no knowledge.

      At this point in time there has been no record surface concerning ship and port of call. A Johann Hannsch arrived in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1879, but the much older age recorded and no mention of a son, Hugo, suggests that this is probably another person.

      Their voyage behind them, father and son settled into their new life in the village of Heidelberg, Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada. Here they reestablished themselves in the tailoring business. A short time later Johannes and Hugo Hannusch were join by son and brother, Theobald Hannusch.

      On April 3, 1885, Johannes Hannusch died at Wellesley Township (Heidelberg) Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada. He was buried April 5, 1885, at St. Clement's Roman Catholic Cemetery, in the village of St. Clements, Ontario. The grave markings have have been lost...
