[blended.FTW]
The Sommer family has lived in Ihringen, Baden in the southwestern part of Germany near the French border for nearly 150 years. This part of Germany is the Schwartzwald or black Forest and is noted for its mineral springs and health resorts.
Johannes Sommer was a farmer who raised wine grapes. He owned one Vinyard and leased two or more, each about the size of a city block. He died when he fell from a wagon while shoveling manure. He hired children to work in the fields and then put his own children in the lead as he could make his own work faster and the others were forced to keep up.
Johann Jacob and Katherina were married in a religious ceremony on February 27th, 1849 in Bahlingen, Baden Germany.1 They had four sons and four daughters, named Fritz, Jakob (Jack), Wilhelm, Otto, Rosina, Anna Marie, Katharina and Barbara.
