Carl Gustav Reinhold Gall Biography

Carl GUSTAV ("Gustav") Reinhold Gall was born in Silesia (possibly in Radischen, Reg. Bezirk Liegnitz), part of Prussia at the time, on July 9, 1862, the son of Karl Heinrich Gall (1822-1882) and Maria Rosina Kunisch Gall (1827-1869), who were married in the Evangelical Church in Kaiserswaldau on February 5, 1850. Gustav was baptized at the Evangelical Church in Ober Hausdorf, Siliesia (Schlesien), Prussia on July 29, 1862.

Gustav had five siblings, a sister Pauline Henriette (1850-1925), three brothers Wilhelm (1851-1929), Herman (1856-1937), and Robert (1866-1940), and a younger half sister Ottilie (1876-1928). The family relocated from Silesia to Pomerania before September 24, 1876, when Gustav was confirmed at the Evangelical Church, Kölpin, Groß-Mokratz, Kreis Usedom, Pomerania (Pommern).

Gustav, his three brothers, and their younger half-sister Ottilie emigrated from Pomerania to Michigan in the 1880s. According to an undated document written by Amanda Gall, his daughter, he applied for a passport to America on December 31, 1881 and left for America on May 2, 1882 from Neustettin. His age at the time was 18 years, 9 months. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1902, according to the 1920 Michigan census, settled in Sebewaing in Huron County, where he met and married Malvina Marie Elisabeth Grassman (Grassmann) on February 23, 1888. Malvina was born in Niagara County, New York on August 22, 1867. She was the daughter of German immigrants from Mecklenburg, Michael Friedrich Grassmann (1857-1907) and Dorothea Sophia Christine Bolzmann Grassmann (1842-1913).

Gustav and Malvina owned a farm and had four children, Emma Bertha Maria (1888-1975), Amanda Rosina (1889-1981), Ernest Gustav (1892-1951), and Helena Libby Ernstine (1894-1986). They adopted a fifth child Ferdinand Marten (1905-1995).

Gustav was listed as a house builder, carpenter, landowner, and farmer in several Michigan census references. He and Malvina remained in close contact with their extended family, including many relatives who had emigrated from Germany, for their entire lives.

Gustav died in Sebewaing on July 22, 1940.
