Gustav Frederich "Gust" Krause was born October 19, 1864, in Pommern, Germany.
Ottilie Amele Marie Rusch was born December 12, 1868, in Germany.
The 1880 U. S. Census taken on June 21, 1880, shows Albert Butzke (age 38) born in Prussia to Prussian-born parents is a Farmer and is living in Auburn Twp., Fond du Lac Co., WI. Living with him is his wife, Louisse Butzke (age 24) born in Prussia to Prussian-born parents, who is Keeping House. Also living there is his son, August Butzke (age 4) born in Wisconsin to Prussian-born parents. Leigh Larson note: Please bear in mind that the census was not necessarily a one-on-one interview. Anyone could have provided this information. As we review the census some 133 years later, we must also recognize that there was a language barrier that existed. I don’t believe that either Martin or Louisa spoke English. Obviously, the birth dates of Martin and “Eliza” were broad approximations, although the birth date for “Gustaff” is the birth year for Gustav Frederich "Gust" Krause. The census enumerator grouped his last name with Martin and Eliza. Maybe “Eliza” was a nickname, or just an incorrect census entry, or a neighbor who provided it?
