Today's "What's It Wednesday" features two trunks used by German immigrants to northern Indiana. The top (closed) trunk is labeled "F. Schamerloh" and the other (open) trunk is labeled "Ulrich Hege, No. 188, aus Reihen." The Schamerlohs settled in Root and Union Townships in Adams County, while Hege originally immigrated to Poughkeepsie, NY, in 1872, before moving to Elkhart, then Kansas, and finally back to Elkhart. He worked for some time at a Mennonite publishing company before starting his own newspaper and publishing company.
