Jul. 18th, 2016 05:24 pmNicholas Huelmantel was born on 1822/1823 in Bavaria. He was married in 1850 in Buffalo, Erie County, NY to Anna Margaret Clees. Margaret was born in March 1830 in Luxemberg, daughter of Michael Clees. She emigrated to the United States in 1846. They moved to Grand Traverse County in 1872. In 1879, Huelmantel owned 160 acres in Long Lake twp[218]. In 1880, the family was farming in Long Lake twp[219]. The Huelmantels vacationed in Arkansas in January 1882: N. Huelmantle wrote on the first of the month from Johnson Co., Ark., that they had not as yet had any frost. To prove his statement he sent home in his letter an apple leaf as green as in midsummer. They returned in early February. While they were away, their children had a party: The young people are having grand times at their socials in this locality. A very pleasant one was held at N. Huelmantle's on last evening[220].
The family suffered from measles in February 1883. Mr. Huelmantel had cut 134 cords of wood that spring. Anna was sick again in September 1883. Nicholas had seven acres of timber land cleared in the following year, probably to increase the size of his fields[221].
