Johann and Lisette (Grünwald) Storm / John and Elizabeth (Greenwalt) Sturm, were both natives of Zarben, Pomerania, Prussia, where they were married in about 1856. Two of their children were born in the old country. Owing to the restrictions and conditions of life in Central Europe John Sturm sought better opportunities industrially as well as politically in the New World, and on September 8th, 1862 immigrated through Baltimore, Maryland via the ship Neptune and moved with his family to Indianapolis. He was a man of very humble means and had to practically break his way into the strangeness of American life and make for himself a position of reasonable success. His first employment here was in a brickyard. A few years later he went to farming, and save for a short time continued that occupation all the rest of his life. He was also a teamster in the city. John Sturm was born March 14, 1830, and died May 7, 1895. His wife was born January 15, 1835, and died February 2, 1898. They were quiet, hard-working people but enjoyed high esteem in their community. They were members of the Zion Evangelical Church. Of their nine children, only three were living at the time of publishing in 1919, August, and two sisters: Annie Kerkhoff, wife of Christian Kerkhoff, and Minnie, wife of Richard Blanck.
