References to the personal diary of Conrad Stuenkel have been made in various other postings on this message board. The diary was written in German but the following is a translation of information excerpted from that document. It is everything that I received and not known if that is all he wrote or if more information is contained in the original.

[Translation by Alvin Stuenkel]

Conrad Dietrich Friederich Stuenkel was born Dec. 18, 1811 in Mettel [Metel] Kirch Spiels Basse Amts Neustadt Konigreich Hannover. There I was raised by my parents and sent to church and school till I was 14 years old. Then off and on I was home or away till I was 16 years old. Then I went to Basse where I learned the trade of blacksmith till I was 19 yr. old. Then I volunteered in the 6th Cavalry Regiment and served till 1837.

The 11th of August I journeyed to Hamburg and took ship for the United States and landed in New York Sept. 29, 1837. I stayed there till March 4, 1838. After that I went to St. Louis and stayed six weeks. Then from St. Louis I went on to the state of Illinois where I stayed till 1840. After that I went back to St. Louis where I became acquainted with Catherine Marie Dorateae Gerberding born in Eoenhen
[Evensen] and raised in Meize [Meitze]. We were married Feb. 15, 1840 (My wife was born July 26, 1815.) Then we journeyed to . . . Mosury [Missouri] where we arrived on Mar. 7, 1840. On the 10th of January, 1841 the Heavenly Father granted us the gift of a daughter whom we named Caroline and the Heavenly Father took her again in death Feb. 2, 1841.
