J. G. Tangeman and his wife Anna

J. G. Tangeman was born in about 1824 in Prussia.

J. G. Tangeman married a woman named Anna.

Anna was born in about 1832 in Prussia. She immigrated in about 1850.

Their children were:

Mary Tangeman, born in April 1861 in Iowa. She married Louis F. Risser.
Jenny Tangeman married Mr. Barsler.
William Tangeman, born in November 1851 in Iowa. He married a woman named Eliza in about 1881.
Anna "Annie" Tangeman, born in June 1853 in Iowa, died in about 1933 in Denver, Denver County, Colorado. She never married.
Harmon Tangeman, born in about 1854 in Iowa.
Alvena Tangeman, born in about 1864 in Iowa.
Arthur Tangeman, born in about 1872 in Nebraska.

The 1880 and 1900 censuses give different birth years for Annie Tangeman. The 1880 lists her as 24 years old, making her birth year 1855 or 1856. The 1900, which lists her as living with her brother-in-law Louis Risser, gives her birth as Jun 1853. We have no census information on Jenny (Tangeman) Barsler.

Both Louis Risser and William Tangeman were living in Talmage, Otoe County, Nebraska, in 1990. William, aged 48, was a hardware salesman, and had been married to his wife Eliza for 19 years. They had two chlidren:

Elmer Tangeman, born in February 1882 in Nebraska, who was a grocery salesman in 1900.
Ella Tangeman, born June 1883 in Nebraska.

William and Eliza owned their own home free and clear and had a boarder, Bruno Schotler, a 28 year old German Saloon Keeper. William's brother-in-law Louis Risser lived nearby and was also a saloon keeper, quite probably Bruno's employer.
