Anna Elisabeth Louise Jungas Schirrmacher (called "Elisabeth") was born in Tessensdorf, West Prussia, the daughter of Martin Jungas and Anna Maria Elisabeth Stamer. She married Karl August Schirrmacher (born in Baarenhof, West Prussia) on 9 Oct 1862. Their three sons - Friedrich August (called "August"), Johann Martin ("John"), and Karl Albert (called "Albert") - were all born in Tessensdorf, Stuhm, near Marienburg (now Malbork, Poland). A daughter, Elisabeth Friederike, died in 1874 at age 4. Around 1875, the family moved to a district of Berlin. In 1885, they took in an orphan boy to live with them, Gustav Fischer. Gustav would immigrate with August and his wife Emilie in 1891. In July 1892, Elisabeth and her son Albert joined the older sons, who had immigrated in 1886 and 1891, and were already settled in Blue Island, Illinois. In 1907, as her son August and his family prepared to leave for South Dakota, son John and his family moved into Chicago, and Albert had been dead since 1893, Elisabeth was taken into the home of John's sister-in-law, Margaret Schlatt Lavoie, to live. Margaret had many children needing milk, and Elisabeth had a cow - or so the story goes. Elisabeth died in the Lavoie's home of pneumonia. Descendants of her brother Carl Martin Jungas live in Texas and Minnesota.
