My ggandfather Reent Honas Gruben followed a young woman Louise Brenkmann, to Smith Co., KS that he met on the boat coming over from Germany. She was traveling with a family as a servant or nanny. He married her in Smith Co., his mother Gesina Gruben had traveled with him, she died 1893 I think and is buried at Gaylord? in Smith Co. I am trying to tract down Reent's wife and possibly the family she might have come to KS with...any family stories out there?
Does Smith Co., have marriage records for this time frame.
