Dort steht folgendes über die Familie:
Born in 1800, Anton Sander was a blacksmith in Lemgo, Lippe-Detmold.
During the time of 1848 revolution Anton longed to get his family to America but he saw small hope for that. His oldest son Friedrich, would be 21 in December of that year. Due to military conscription, young men of that age were not issued visas. Then, one day a man came to Anton and asked, "Why don´t you send Fritz to America?"
"Why, how can I?" said Anton. "I don´t have the money to send him and, besides, the boy couldn´t get a visa." the man said, "I´ll loan you the money and you can repay me whenever it is convenient. And as for a visa, I know a fellow who can make just as good ones as the government can."
After Friedrich got to America on borrowed passage money and a forged visa, Anton, then 48 years old but always a man of tremendous muscular strength, went to Holland and worked there digging peat to earn the fare for the rest of the family.
In the autumn of 1848 the Sanders boarded a sailing vessel in Bremerhaven. Frome Emilie Kreft we have a few incidents of the trip as told by her grandmother, Amalia (Sander) Folmer. As the ship began to leave Bremen all the girls sang expect Amalia who wept with her mother because they were leaving all their friends in Germany. They landed in New Orleans and came up the Mississippi and Ohio in a flat boat to Evansville, Ind. Oranges were tossed to them as they left New Orleans, but never having seen any before, they were afraid to eat them. Negroes on the boat played their fiddles all night long and finally Anton took bacon rind and greased the strings in order to get a little relief. Friedrich met them with a big wagon on Christmas eve at Evansville, and snow was deep and it was bitter cold so the men walked alongside the wagon, and those in the wagon were on hay.
The Sander home in Widner Township as seen in later years consisted of two large rooms connected by a breeze-way. Half of the house was of brick and the other half of log covered by frame siding. A row of shelves was built into the thick wall of log. The house was shaded by a great black oak and stood one mile northeast of Freelandville and about 20 yards east of the road which is an extension of the town´s Indianapolis Street.
It is said that Anton often mentioned his deep satisfaction at having been able to bring his family to America. He died in July 1849. A record of his death exists in the Volume of the seventh census of the United States original returns of the assistant marshall, 3rd series, persons who died during the year ending June 30th, 1850 under Knox County, Vol. 1, page 615, in the Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library. The record reads: Antoine Sander, aged 49, male, married, born in Prussia, died July 1849, farmer; died of fever, ill 21 days.
