  • ID: I395
  • Name: Josepha "Sophia" Ibach | Ebaugh
  • Sex: F
  • Birth: 01 Dec 1844 in Preston, Waterloo, Ontario
  • Death: 05 May 1909 in Long Prairie, Minnesota
  • Immigration: Abt 1862 Michigan (with parents)
  • Change Date: 19 May 2009
  • Note:
    The only known record of a first name of "Josephine" is from son George's birth record, but I think that was the clerk's attempt to use a proper name for "Sophia".

    The mother's name was "Sophia Ebaugh" on son Thomas' death record in Washington.

    Baptismal record from St. Agatha Parish, Preston, Ontario (in archives of St. Jerome University in Preston, Ontario) - "Maria Josepha born 1st December 1844 baptized 26th March 1845 is the daughter of Antoni Bach(sic) and his wife Rufinae, nee Hoffman. Godparents were Morandus Compass and Maria Josepha Hoffman". Baptismal information is courtesy of Earl Ebach, Midland Michigan.

    1870 census (see husband Maynard for details); Sophia, age 26, born in Prussia.

    1880 census (see husband Maynard for details); wife Soffia, age 35, born in Canada, parents born in Canada(sic).

    1900 census (see husband Maynard for details); wife Sophia, age 54, born Dec 1845 in Canada, married 37 years, had 9 children, 7 still living, parents born in Germany, no immigration info.

    Census info implies parents emigrated from Germany to Canada, which is, indeed, the case.

    There is no Todd county death record.

    [begin quote Todd County Argus, May 6, 1909 P1 Col 5]

    Mrs. Maynard Bock died very suddenly early yesterday morning from an acute obstruction of the bowls(sic). She has not been feeling in the best of health the past winter and Tuesday afternoon was taken worse and a doctor was called.

    Mrs. Sophia Bock was 63 years of age on the 1st day of last December and has resided in this village for the past thirty-five years, and was the mother of a large family. The children are John, of Helena, Mont.; George, of Sauk Centre; Mrs. John Curves, of this village; Tom, of La Clede, Idaho; Celia Hardin, of Jamestown, N. D.; Edwin and Miss Ida, of this village. She was always a very kind and loving mother and will be missed by all.
