Family Tree

Amaldus Matt Richelman, son of Charles Richelman Elizabeth ______ Richelman, was born on May 7, 1855 in Hay Creek, Minnesota.  He married Ida Langhans who was born April 24, 1862 in Oranienburg, Germany.  Amaldus died in 1914 of "dropsy and leakage of the heart" at age 56 years, 4 mos., 10 days.  Ida lived much longer and didn't died until February of 1957.  Amaldus and Ida were married on June 14, 1881 and he was a farmer.  My wife Jill Johnson remembers Ida who was so small she could fit under Marvin Rigelman's outstretch arm.  Apparently she spoke German and may never have learned English.  She died of a stroke in Red Wing, Minnesota.  Amaldus and Ida were both of the Lutheran faith. 

Amaldus and Ida are buried together in the Trenton Township Cemetery just over the Mississippi River from Red Wing, Minnesota.  Also buried in Trenton Cemetery is Ferdinand G. Richelman (b. Jun. 7, 1866 d. Apr. 29, 1920) and his wife Altha A. Richelman (b. Sep. 13, 1874 d. Dec. 8, 1948). Ferdinand was the brother of Amaldus.  Ferdinand had two sons Walter and Lloyd Richelman.
