Ludwig (Louis) Thom was born October 20, 1825 he ws married to Augustina Hofferman in 1853 in Germany.
They were the parents of four known children:

Charles
Fridrich (Fred)
Agusta
Louise
Perhaps there were children born before Charles since they were married in 1853.


Charles was born October 8, 1865
He married Wilhelmina Dresow in January l, 1880 in Carver County, Minnesota.
She was the daughter of John and Johanna Kusserow Dresow.

They had three children:

Charles, Jr  November 18, 1880 ~~ March 10, 1953
He married Ottillie Wille, She was the daughter of Richard and Charlotte Hartung Wille

Meta   April 1882 ~~1961
She married Albert Ost
Son of Albert and Bertha Gluth Ost

Wilhelmina  1893 ~~1980
Wilhelmina married Andrew Hansen January 7, 1913 in Clark County, Washington































On the 1880 census for the town of Dahlgren in Carver County, Charles and Wilhelmina were enumerated with Wilhelmina's parents.

By the 1885 Minnesota Territorial Census they were living in Long Prairie in Todd County. Wilhelmina's parents, John and Johanna were
also living in Long Prairie and were still there when the 1895 Territorial census was taken.

Wilhelmina's father passed away in 1898 and her mother returned to Carver County.
Charles and Wilhelmina continued to live in Long Prairie at least until the 1905 Territorial census.

After 1905 there is a lack of information about the family until 1908, when Wilhelmina died from blood poisoning on
April 1, 1908, at the age of 48 in Drake, McHenry County, North Dakota.
Charles and Wilhelmina were possibly living in Drake at that time, as their oldest son,
Charles and his family were living there.
Wilhelmina is buried in Drake Cemetery.
