Translation of Application for Dismissal of Prussian Citizenship:
The undersigned Royal Prussian ruling government certifies herewith that the
colonist, Johann Christoph Kageler, born on the 21st Febr. 1824 at Carow,
district of Feriohow 2 requested his emigration to Australia, as well as his
spouse Wilhelmine, nee Franke, 53 years of age and the following younger,
under fatherly care, children,
(1) Friederike Marie Auguste, born on 8 May 1863 at Carow and (2) Friederike
Louise, born on 27 Nov 1865 at Carow.
The dismissal from the Prussian State has been given. This request for
dismissal for the specifically named persons is effective from the date of
issue and results in the loss of Prussian citizenship. It will, however,
become ineffective if the dismissed person does not, within 6 months from
the day of issue of the dismissal, transfer his residence from the district
or gain his citizenship in another state.
(S:13) The recording of the gaining and the loss of citizenship from 1st
June 1870. B-CA-BL p.355. Magdeburg 14th Jan. 1881. Royal Prussian ruling
government (signature of issuing official).
Dismissal request for Colonist Johann Christoph Kageler & his family from
Carow district of Feriohow 2. Pr.166
...................
Johann Christoph Kageler died before the family could leave Germany.
His widow, Wilhelmine, then came out to South Australia, bringing daughters
Auguste & Louise with her & they lived in the house in Evandale.
After Auguste married, she & her husband, Karl Stiller, lived in the same
street in Evandale, diagonally opposite her mother. In 1928 they went back
to Germany & Auguste died during the voyage, hence the headstone in Bremen
cemetery.
