Notes:

From The History of Winona County Minnesota, compiled by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge, Editor in Chief, Assisted by William Jay Whipple, Revier of Manuscripts and a Large Corps of Local Contributors, Illustrated, Volume II, Chicago, H.C. Cooper Jr. and Co., 1913 (Copy in Minnesota Historical Society, St. Paul), page 694.:

Mathias Staack, a pioneer contractor and builder of Winona, was born in the northern part of Germany, June 16, 1826, and came to America as a young man. After landing in New Orleans, he came up the river to Davenport, where he had a friend, arriving in that city in the summer of 1852. There he spent three years. Then he went to Comanche, in the same state, and there on December 5, 1855, he married Mary Peterson, who was born July 26, 1836. In 1856, he was persuaded by E.A. Gertzen to come to Winona. For a time he lived with Mr. Gertzen, and then erected at 522 East Fifth Street, the cozy little house in which he has since made his home. For ten years he engaged in the grocery business at the corner of Third and Kansas streets. This business was not, however, greatly to his liking, and he disposed of his store and started work on the North-Western, then in the course of construction between this place and Rochester. Then he went into the the general building and contracting business. In 1904 he retired. He is in excellent health, and is one of the substantial citizens of the city. He has been prominently identified with the Odd Fellows, and is one of the oldest members of that order in the city. He has also joined the Druids. The subject of this sketch has eleven children, twenty grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. The children are: Emma, wife of Louis H. Thurow; Sophia, wife of H.F. Gerlicher; Clara, wife of Fred J. Welty; Richard; Gustaf, deceased; William, deceased; Edward, Albert, Matilda, Otto and Carl.

(Research):A web site in German lists Mathias as being born in Süderhastedt. It shows his correct birthdate and date of immigration. It also shows that he first settled in Davenport. The same web site lists a Catharina Staack, born 8 Mar 1837 in the same village and migrating to Davenport in 1852. Mathias would have been 26 years old in 1852. This Catharina would have been 15. It is possible that she may have been his sister.

Notes:

The 1857 census shows a John Peterson, age 24, living with Mathias and Mary. This person was probably Mary's brother.

Mary went to live with her son, Richard, in Sioux City, Iowa, after Mathias died. She then went to Seatlle, Washington, to live with or near her son, Otto, where she died in 1930.
