Carl Friedrich Ladwig was the first born son of John F. and Sophia Ladwig. He was born in Germany, married Hulda Kalkbrenner there, and came with his young family to America in about 1857-8.

TRIBUTE
Much of the information regarding the descendants of John F. Ladwig, and particularly of the descendants of Carl F. Ladwig has been ascertained through the genealogy works of Mona (Meyer ) Ladwig (1916-1989), wife of Arlis C. Ladwig.  We truly appreciate all the hard work that Mona did in compiling all her records - the old-fashioned way, without a computer!

Quote:"We herewith present a group picture of �Four Generations,� containing Father Ladwig, his daughter, Mrs. Gus Mattke, of Fredericksburg, Iowa, her daughter, Mrs. John Steege, near Fredericksburg, and her son Elmer Steege.  This making father, daughter, granddaughter and great grandson. This picture was taken only about a month before the old gentleman died, and is a good likeness."
