This is Julius & Caroline (Japsen) Johannsen. Both were born in Germany. Julius came to the United States in January of 1871 with his parents and younger brother. In 1883 Julius went home for a visit and returned with Caroline and her mother, Maria. After arriving in Port Clinton Caroline wasn't so sure she wanted to marry Julius so he arranged for Maria & Caroline to stay in the hotel. After Caroline "dated" around a little, including entertaining Mr. Magruder for a while, she decided Julius was the one and they were married October 30, 1884. At least that is how the story goes. Whatever happened before the marriage the couple had nine children and 18 or so grandchildren.
Timeframe: On or about October 30, 1884.
Where It Fits: Julius and Caroline are the parents of William, Marie, Adele, August, John, Nelson, Lilly, Paul & Lorenz. Lorenz is the father of James & Joyce.
