Last Thursday, July 14, 1921 Andreas Bauder Sr. died at the home of his daughter, Dorothea, and her husband, Samuel Schaal. He was born in South Russia on the 4th day of December 1838. He was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church, received a good Christian school education and prepared himself, by an apprenticeship of several years for the vocation of a blacksmith.
In 1862 he was united in marriage with Christina Katherina Otenbacher. Three of his eleven children died in their infancy in Russia. Since this blessed country of ours exhibited to him, as well as to thousands of others in the old country, a sphere of usefulness and enterprise, he came to America with his family and landed in Baltimore in 1889.
He was one of the first settlers near Bethune and went thru all the troubles and hardships of establishing a new home on the virgin soil of a new country. There was no crop in the first four years of his farming, but after years of hard work he saw his labor rewarded. He was one of those early settlers, who by their hard work and endurance – strange as it seems – helped to build up the city of Burlington and to enrich our country.
In 1912 he celebrated with his wife the golden jubilee of their wedding. Since 1918 he was staying with his daughter, Dorothea. His wife died in 1919. He was esteemed by everyone who knew him. He died a peaceful death, being 82 years, 7 months and 10 days of age.

He leaves to mourn his death eight children: Andreas Bauder, Gottlieb Bauder, Friedrich Bauder, and Dorothea Schaal, of Bethune, Colorado; Johann Bauder, Brighton, Colorado; Katharina Mase, Golden, Colorado; Jacob Bauder, Sterling, Colorado; Christina Elein, Ft. Morgan, Colorado; his sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, 45 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, 1 sister and a large circle of friends.
His earthly remains were laid to rest Sunday, July 17th, in the cemetery of the Lutheran Immanuel congregation near Bethune. Services were conducted by the Rev. Gehrect. Many friends of the departed attended his funeral. Undertaker N. R. Brown conducted the funeral. ------------------------------------------------

Aunt Tina was 7 1/2 years old when she came, with the rest of the family to this country. She was the youngest, however, she had her work to do just the same as the rest. She spoke little of those early years. When she was 14 or 15 she went to Denver, Colorado, where her brother (Uncle John) was living. She soon found employment in a Jewish home in Denver. This job was more like a governess job. These people helped her to read and write the English language correctly. These people also taught her how to do most everything--speech, actions, cooking, entertaining; they even brought a seamstress into the home that taught her to sew. She became a very refined lady.
About 1905, (Charles Kelin married Christina "Bander" in Denver May 19, 1904.) she married Charles Klien. His folk owned the Gilpin Hotel in Blackhawk, Colorado, and Aunt Tina and Uncle Charles ran the hotel for a couple of years. One day a man came in and she heard him talking German so she answered him in German, then they both talked English. He told her that he had never heard a German who could talk such perfect English without even a brogue. There was a gold rush boom at that time. Wages were good and they saved enough money to buy a five-acre place near Arvada, Colorado. (In 1910 Arvada, Charles "Klein" is 34, a traveling salesman, born in Colorado., Christina 28, Colorado.) They built a lovely brick house, bought a cow and a horse, and raised a lovely garden, however, they didn't stay there long. They moved to Ft. Morgan, Colorado.

Morgan and stayed about a year and sold out. She then went to Portland where she married Dan Ramsey. They lived in and around Portland, where he died in the early 1940s.
