THE FAMILY OF GUSTAVE JULIUS ALBERT FARSCHMIN AND EVA HASS

of Germany and Lorain, Ohio

Gustave Farschmin/Farschman was born on July 17, 1837 in Leibisholm Koeis, Thorn Region, Germany. His wife, Eva Hass, also of Germany was born in October, 1834. The family arrived in the port of New York on March 28, 1882 on the ship Vandalia. They had sailed from Germany to the United States by way of St. Thomas. Those family members listed are: Gustav, age 45 a laborer; Eva age 45 his wife; Maths age 16 a male child; Gustav, age 14 a male child; Emilie, age 8 a female child; Herrm, age 7 a male child; and August, age 5 a male child. According to August Farschman’s obituary, the family first settled in Grafton, Ohio in Lorain County before making their permanent home north in the town of Lorain, Ohio.

To date, no information has been found regarding Gustave Farschmin. He died on June 19, 1890 in Lorain, Ohio eight years after he settled in America. Although immigration records and Gustave’s tombstone show the surname was spelled Farschmin, sometime around 1900 family members changed it to Farschman.

Eva remained in Lorain, Ohio along with the majority of her children. Census reports indicate that she could read and write English, that she owned her home, and that both of her parents were also born in Germany. She was a charter member of St. John’s Evangelical Church in Lorain for thirty-five years. On August 30, 1919, Eva was staying at her daughter Katie Farschman Ludt’s home on 11th Street in Lorain when she mysteriously fell from an upstairs window and died of shock and heart failure at age eighty-five. Both Gustave and Eva are buried together in Elmwood Cemetery in Lorain, Ohio, although the marker only lists Gustave.
