Three Kuhlman brothers who were sons of Charles (or Carl) and Wilhelmine Stocksick (or Stockstill) Kuhlman came to Warren County, Missouri for several years before coming to Moundville Township. The 1870 and 1880 census records below show this Kuhlman family living in Charette Township in Warren County, Missouri, near the town of Hopeville (in 1870). 1870 Census for Warren County, MO: Chas* Kuhlmann 50 born in Prussia (should be age 40) Mima Kuhlmann 49 born in Prussia (should be age 39) Hannah Kuhlmann 18 born in Prussia Emilie Kuhlmann 16 born in Missouri August Kuhlmann 14 born in Missouri Henry Kuhlmann 12 born in Missouri Chas Kuhlmann 10 born in Missouri Mary Kuhlmann 8 born in Missouri *The handwritten census says Chas, so it is hard to know whether Carl was using Charles as an Americanized name or whether the census taker simply made an error. 1880 Census for Warren County, MO Carl Kuhlmann 50 born in Prussia* Wilhelmine Kuhlmann 49 born in Prussia Henry Kuhlmann 21 born in Missouri Mary Kuhlmann 17 born in Missouri *The handwritten census names the town that Carl came from as Lippe Detmold.

There is a burial for Karl Kuhlman in Immanuel UCC Cemetery at Holstein in Warren County, Missouri. His birth date was Dec. 21, 1823 and his death date was April 5, 1892. His grave marker appears to say that he was from Lippe Detmold (Germany). Buried in the same cemetery is Johanna Wilhelmina "Anna" Kuhlmann Schoppenhorst who is said to be the daughter of this Karl Kuhlman and wife Wilhelmina Stocksick. Johanna's dates are 1843 - 1927. Her death certificate does not confirm this, listing parents as unknown. All three sons of Charles and Wilhelmine Kuhlman (August, Henry and Charles) moved to Vernon County, Missouri. Their mother, Wilhelmine, was with them since the 1900 census listed her as living in Vernon County, with her son, August Kuhlman, in Moundville Township. That census listed August and his family.

The photo above is shared by Vic and Sharon Fengler Hinds. It includes August and Caroline Mische Kuhlman with boys, Albert and George and girls, Winnie, Emma and Amanda.	The photo below is a later one of August and Caroline. August and Caroline are buried at Bicket Cemetery: August Kuhlman, February 8, 1856 - July 22, 1937. His death certificate lists him as son of Coss and Mamie Kuhlman but probably is supposed to say Carl and Minnie Stocksick or Stockstill Kuhlman.

The photo to the right is of Henry and Anna Mische Kuhlman. They are buried at Bicket Cemetery: Henry Kuhlman, December 23, 1857 - December 17, 1933 Anna Kuhlman, December 19, 1864 - April 28, 1933 Henry's death certificate lists him as son of Carl and Minnie Stockstill Kuhlman. This is the death certificate that is most easily read and the name Stockstill is plain. However, that does not absolutely mean that its correct. Census records indicate that Henry and Anna had no children. Henry and August's brother Charley H. Kuhlman and wife Alwine Mische Kuhlman are also buried at Bicket: Charles Henry Kuhlman, March 15, 1860 - September 3, 1939 Alwine (Winnie) Mische Kuhlman, July 4, 1865 - March 14, 1945 Census records show that Charles and Winnie had one son, Carl.

During Victorian times (1890's), it was not uncommon for people to have name cards printed. Its obvious that the Kuhlman's did so. These calling cards are from the Heinsohn family collection. Left: Cards from August Kuhlmann, see below.   Right: Cards from Charley H. Kuhlman and his wife Alwine (Winnie) Mische Kuhlmann   Notice that in early days, the spelling Kuhlmann was used but by the time they died, they used Kuhlman on their grave markers.

An August Kuhlman family below was in Moundville (Drywood Township) very early and was featured in the 1887 History of Vernon County. We hope someone can explain how they are related to the families above. Since he is found in early census records for Charette Township, Warren County, the same county that Charles (Carl) Kuhlman was from, it seems reasonable to speculate that this August Kuhlman was perhaps a brother to Charles (Carl) Kuhlman. That is just speculation until we find some proof.

From History of Vernon County, Missouri. 1887, p. 831. AUGUST KUHLMANN (Farmer, Section 5, Post-office, Milo). As one of the foreign-born residents of this portion of Vernon county, whose industry, frugality and thrift entitle them to more than passing mention in the present volume, is August Kuhlmann, who has been located here about six years. His career as an agriculturist since that time has established him firmly as one whom Vernon County is proud to own. He was born in Germany in 1833, September 24, and from his earliest recollections has been engaged in farming and the pursuits pertaining to that industry. Philip and Frederica Kuhlmann were his parents, and they, too, were natives of Das Vaterland. Young August remained at home until thirteen years of age, then emigrating to the United States, where he knew more favorable opportunities would be presented for his making his own way in life. Settling first in Warren county, Mo., he subsequently married there Miss Anna Wafie, a native of that county, this union being consummated in 1859. Following this Mr. Kuhlmann continued to attend to his chosen duties of farm life in that vicinity until 1881, when he came to Vernon County, and since then he has been actively and successfully engaged in the same calling, as his present valuable farm of 500 acres gives evidence. By closely attending to his daily duties, practicing economy and wisely caring for what he has obtained, he has come to be regarded a substantial citizen of this locality, and his outlook for the future is, indeed, bright. Mr. and Mrs. Kuhlmann have a family of nine children: August, Lizzie, William, Charlie, Mary, John, Amanda, Maggie and Edward.

This August Kuhlman family was listed in the 1870 Census for Charette Township, Warren County, MO: August Kuhlmann 32 born in Prussia Johanna Kuhlmann 30 born in Missouri August Kuhlmann 8 born in Missouri Elise Kuhlmann 5 born in Missouri William Kuhlmann 1 born in Missouri The family remained at that location in the 1880 Census: Aug. Kuhlmann 39 born in Prussia Johanna Kuhlmann 38 born in Missouri August Kuhlmann 18 born in Missouri Luise Kuhlmann 15 born in Missouri William Kuhlmann 12 born in Missouri Henry Kuhlmann 8 born in Missouri Mary Kuhlmann 5 born in Missouri John Kuhlmann 3 born in Missouri Manda Kuhlmann 1 born in Missouri The burials of August and Johanna Kuhlman are in Moore Cemetery in Nevada: August Kuhlman, September 15, 1836 - May 22, 1901 Johanna Kuhlman, September 17, 1939 - January 22, 1903 Buried beside them are their son and his wife: Charles Henry Kuhlman, November 10, 1871 - December 9, 1944 Anna L. Struebe Kuhlman January 28, 1870 - March 19, 1930 Their son August (Gus) Kuhlman remained in the area. The 1900 Moundville Township Census lists the family: August Kuhlman born June 1863 36 born in Missouri Emma Kuhlman born September 1876 34 (should be 24) born in Missouri Jessie Kuhlman born August 1893 6 born in Missouri Frank Kuhlman born June 1895 4 born in Missouri By 1920, they had moved to Barton Township, Barton County, MO Gus Kuhlman 55 born in Missouri Emma Kuhlman 43 born in Missouri Ruth Jepsen 13 - cousin born in Missouri In 1930, Emma had died but Gus was still in Barton Township living with his daughter and family: Emmett Bunton 36 born in Missouri Jessie Bunton 36 born in Missouri Ivan Bunton 14 born in Missouri Virginia Bunton 10 born in Missouri Marjorie Bunton 6 born in Missouri Gus Kuhlman 66 born in Missouri Gus and Emma are buried in Barton City Cemetery: Gus F.
