From "Harms Family History" created by Gertrude Paradies and provided by her to Pam Bowman Miller in about 2002. August Wilhelm Carl Harms immigrated to this country from Oldenburg sometime before 1880. He is listed in the U.S. Census of 1880 as living in Cuming County and named Carl and in the 1885 Census in Stanton County and named Charles. His father (J.H. Gerhard Harms), mother and siblings followed him settling in Dodge Co., NE and later moving to Scribner, NE. Gerhard loaned Carl money to buy a homestead in Stanton Co. near Howells, NE.
Carl Harms (born Nov2, 1885) and Johanna Bunjes (born Oct 24, 1861), also an immigrant from Oldenburg, were married in Gerhard Harm's home in Scribner on March 3, 1887. Presumably they went immediately to Carl's farm where they lived the rest of their marriage and she lived until moving to West Point. They had two daughters (Martha Hermine Geraldine and Henrietta Anna). Johanna Bunjes Harms was pregnant at the time of his death, Sept 25, 1890. This child also was a daughter (Johanna Catherine) born Feb 23, 1891.
After Carl's death, John Gerhardt Teebken was appointed guardian of the three daughters' estate until the youngest turned 21. One of John's sisters had married a Harms in Oldenburg so there was a family connection.
