Johann Martin Loos second wife Philippine Beck, died at sea on their voyage to America. The family proceeded on their journey to Wisconsin. Just how many people were in this group is not known, but some of the family came later. According to Mrs. Amelia Loos Wheeler, her father, Martin Loos who was born in 1835, was nine years old at the time. He came in the group with his father, which would make the year of their arrival 1844.
Johann Martin Loos acquired about 60 acres of land in the Township of Polk, Washington City, Wisconsin. The land was located about four miles northeast of Slinger, Wisconsin, which was then known as Schlesingerville, which lies in the Kettle range of Southeast Wisconsin moraine.
According to R.C. Case, Ph.D., Milwaukee State Normal State School, 1907. The Kettle Moraine was formed during the glacial age in Wisconsin when the opposing fronts of the Lake Michigan and Green Bay Glaciers met on the slope, the advance ceased and the famous interlobate Kettle Bange or Kettle Moreine was formed.
Johann Martin Loos chose this hilly land, which the Loos family called "bookelland" so that he would follow the family tradition of raising grapes, the chief crop grown by farmers along the Rhein River near Gunterslum. His vineyards, however, were a failure in our serve Wisconsin climates. He then bought 40 acres which contained level land, and cleared it for farming. A stone house was built that has withstood the elements of time and is still in use at the present time.
Johann Martin Loos died nearing the close of the year 1855. A simple marble stone marks his earthly resting place in the churchyard of the Friedne Evangelical Church in the Town of Jackson.
