· Jacob Kortz - Born Aug. 17, 1823, Died Nov. 12, 1891
· Katherine Pflugfelder - Born Jun. 4, 1836, Died Jan. 17, 1907
Jacob Kortz arrived in America in order to escape conscription in the German Army. Two years later, Katherine Pflugfelder arrived with her family in America. They were old friends in the old country.
Jacob and Katherine were married in Troy, NY in the year of 1850.
Jacob was an expert wood finisher by trade and the fine dust of his occupation finally affected his lungs. He was advised to seek a new home “among the pines”, but we do not know how he happened to select Germania to begin his new life. They arrived in Germania on the date of the birthday of the oldest daughter, Louisa, who was seven years old, April 7, 1860. The neighbors in Troy were sure they would return after suffering the hardships of the forests, but it was Grandmother Kortz’s pride and determination that prevented their return to easier living.
They built a new house of native pine and it was situated on the high hill about two miles from Germania, PA. At 40 years Jacob was drafted into the 99the Reg. C. “D” PA Infantry, Feb. 21, 1865. He was mustered out July 1, 1865.
As a result of Jacob being in the Civil War, and tramping the swamps of Virginia, he developed rheumatism, which caused blindness. He had fought in place of Mr. Bodler and joined the Bucktail Division. After his eyesight failed, he was cautious to feed his cattle by hand instead of using a pitchfork for fear of injuring them. He always carried a gun and an ax when he rounded up the cattle and sheep for protection from the wild animals. Once he did encounter a bear and two cubs, and when the bear attacked he couldn’t scare her with the ax, so he yelled loudly until the animals fled in one direction while he ran in the opposite way, they both traveled very fast this day.
Jacob had two nephews living in America that hoped to visit Germania, PA but one was killed in the war to the great sorrow of the family. There were Pflugfelders living in Renova, PA, which are thought to be half-brothers of Katherine. In Troy, there are cousins residing, namely: Charles Mebs and Charles Teschon, who were coppersmiths by trade. They were considered wealthy and visited the Kortz family once a year and kindly brought scarce articles such as grains, flower seeds and yarn.
A son Christian Kortz had died in infancy. Born March 1, 1851 Troy, NY. Died Dec. 1851Troy, NY.
Three girls accompanied them to their new home in Germania, PA:
Louisa Fredericka Kortz - Born Apr. 7, 1853 Troy, NY, Died Nov. 1940 Coudersport, PA - Married Walter King Sheldon on Nov. 28, 1871 Lock Haven, PA - Born Apr. 26, 1844, Died Nov. 4, 1890.
Katherine Dordea Kortz - Born Dec., 24, 1856 Troy, NY, Died Mar., 31 1934 Coudersport, PA - Never Married.
Thereasa (Thresia) Charlotte Kortz - Born Feb. 22, 1859 Troy, NY, Died Feb., 19, 1928 - Married Christian F. Straley on May 18, 1884 Germania, PA - Born Feb. 4, 1856, Died Jul. 13, 1936.
Four children were born in Germania:
Adolph Kortz - Born Oct. 17, 1864 Germania, PA, Died Feb 17, 1950 - Married Louise Hauber .
Wilhelmina Hedwig Kortz - Born Apr. 27, 1866 Germania, PA, Died Feb. 12, 1940 Coudersport, PA - Married Emil Mosch on Sep. 21, 1885, PA - Born May 8, 1864 Eppendorf, Germany, Died Oct. 25, 1937 Coudersport, PA
Emily (Amelia) Kortz - Born Apr. 27, 1868 Germania, PA, Died Oct. 25, 1916 Coudersport, PA - Married Charles Welfling on Oct. 26, 1892 Coudersport, PA - Born Apr. 2, 1867, Died Jan. 10, 1924.
Anna Kortz - Born Jun 27, 1870 Germania, Died Jan 6, 1942 - Married Marcus Handwerk on Oct. 16, 1894 - Born Mar 25, 1867, Died Jun 3, 1937.
