The
Sanftlebens Gustav August Leon Sanftleben: 1843-1911
U.S. Census records indicate that Gustav and
his family arrived in the United States in 1880, however family
tradition has always suggested Gustav first came to America in the late
1870s and that once he was settled in St. Louis, Missouri, he returned
to Ritzbuettel to bring back Mary and the children in 1880.
Gustav and Mary had four more children born in the United States. Gustav, a locksmith and sheetmetal pattern
maker, died in 1911. Mary was ninety years old when she died in
1943.
