    Cholera Deaths 
    • 1849 Cholera deaths. Egypt, OH is just a few miles West of Minster, OH. (From Minster Historical Society timeline.)
      Frank & Rosa Grieshop shared stories with their granddaughter Sharon Pohl in 1981 when she researched the family tree as her 4-H genealogy project. They remembered Frank's Grandmother Caroline Huesing Grieshop who was orphaned during the 1849 Cholera that killed all her family in the Minster/Egypt area when she was just 7 years old. Caroline was then adopted in by an Erps (Earp) family in the area and she later married Bernard Grieshop whose family had helped make coffins during the Cholera attack.

      «b»Cholera of 1849«/b»
      The year of 1849 will ever be remembered in the history of Minster. The cholera epidemic swept over the entire country, taking thousands of lives. In some cases whole families were carried away within a week.

      The plague descended upon the people of Minster in the latter part of June. During the months of July and August the people died so rapidly that the bodies were collected twice each day and buried in four tiers in two trenches each seven feet wide on the west portion of the cemetery. No funeral arrangements, no religious service, no weeping relatives to follow, just wrapped in a plain shroud, placed in a crude wooden box and taken by some surviving friend to the last resting place.

      The neighbors would then burn all personal effects in hopes of halting the disease. Any surviving children were taken in by the nearest friend or relative and raised as their own. Thru this, original family names of many were changed, which accounts for the disconnected history of some of our citizens. The cholera took over 250 lives in a short time from Minster.


      «i»ntblAmsterdam & the Cholera Epidemic The cholera epidemic of 1849 resulted in a high number of deaths. In an account by Charles Boesel (1814-1885), he stated that from a population of about 700 people, there were 150 who died of the disease. Church records of St. Paul and St. Peter's Churches indicate that 122* people died from St. Paul Church and between July 27th and August 18th, 50 from St. Peter's. These were the only two churches in town at that time. A few of these deaths were attributed to scarlet fever, typhoid, or malaria, however the majority of the deaths were caused by cholera. These victims were buried in a mass grave in the village cemetery on Herman Street across from St. Paul Church. [from "The Towpath" - April 1996, April 2006]«/i» «i»[*NOTE: Research shows that «u»109«/u» cholera deaths were recorded in the «u»St. Paul records <http://www.newbremenhistory.org/GENEALOGY/1849_CHOLERA_DEATHS.pdf>«/u» from 7/11/1849-9/9/1849.]«/i»

Many children were orphaned with no one to care for them. It was reported in Minster that the deaths were so rapid that bodies, in crude coffins, were gathered twice each day and taken to the cemetery for burial without benefit of mourning or religious ceremonies. A simple sign, such as a piece of white cloth hung on the front door, indicated the presence of another victim or victims. The deceased were buried four tiers deep in two trenches, each seven feet wide. The collected coffins were buried twice a week by Joseph Bussing, a man who lived three miles west of Minster, with the aid of a Mr. Rumping and two other helpers. Theodore Dickman, who was a lad at that time, recalled counting 27 lamp-black coffins

Of the actual suffering and sorrow, Mrs. Finke cannot remember anything

In such a case, resort must be had to vanishing tradition and folk lore, both of which are always wanting in accuracy. I had to so advise myself as to Amsterdam, once a promising village in what is now Auglaize County. Historical Highway The most historical highway in northwestern Ohio and northeastern Indiana is the Fort Wayne and Piqua Road (now designated as Route 66), established before the eviction of the Indians from its locality, when both Fort Wayne and Piqua were fortified and garrisoned Indian trading points.
