Emil G Hoernlein

Emil G Hornlein spelled his name without the "e" that Charles did. Emil and Charles I believe came together from Prussia Now Eastern Germany and Poland. Based on newspaper articles I believe he arrived in America in 1855. He and Charles (Carl) moved to Milwaukee Wisconsin and started their families there.

Until 1869 they lived in Milwaukee, but when the first overland train was run to the Coast, they were passengers, stopping first in Nevada, and a few years later in Sacramento, where they lived for many years, and where several of their children still have large interests.
