I am trying to help someone in Germany research their family in the states. We know that Charles (also Carl/Karl) Lauf was born in Germany in 1836 and immigrated aobbut 1858. He served in the Civil War (PA) and ended up in St. Paul. He sent two letters from St. Paul to Germany, one in 1873 and the other in 1876, that my friend has in his possession. They mention the following things that I hope a St. Paul researcher can help me with:
Charles' wife's name was Lizzie, and she died prob. between Jan 1872 and Jan 1873. Charles purchased a large white Italian marble tombstone for her gravesite.
From the fall of Sept 1872 he was in the St. Paul area and was the Captain of Police. He had one sargent and 26 enlisted men. He made $100/month salary. In 1876 he stated that he had been the police captain for 4 yrs. and had two children.
If anyone could please lookup LAUF in any of your St. Paul books, I would really appreciate it.
