• Notes

  In 1836, with his wife and three small children (George, Johannes, and Susan), Johannes Straus left Spechbach, Baden and set sail for America. In Canada he settled his family in St. Agatha's Church Parish, Wellesley Township, Waterloo County, Ontario and resumed his profession. He was soon a landowner as well. In 1859 a two story stone house was built in Wellesley Township, a home that served the Straus family the balance of his days. Six more children were added to the family, a family that has since spread length and breadth of the province and beyond. On December 8, 1884, his wife, Katherina (Kaiser) Straus, died at Wellesley, Ontario and was buried at St. Agatha's Roman Catholic Cemetery. Three years later, on December 26, 1887, Johannes Straus died at Wellesley Township, Ontario, Canada and was buried beside his wife, December 28, 1887, at St. Agatha's Roman Catholic Church Cemetery. https://family.hannush.com/allied-family-straus.html 2013
