Joannes, Anna Catherine and Charles left on 22 Feb 1856,  arrived cabin class on the Wm D Smith.  From the port of landing  Joannes and Charles met Jan Baptist and Joseph in Detroit and came by rail to Chicago, Ill and thence by water to Green Bay arriving 4 May, 1856.  They settled in Preble township.  They purchased a farm of 160 acres.  At that time not a tree had been felled, not a habitation of any kind erected by white man; but they soon build a log cabin, in which they resided until 1868 at which time they built a more substantial residence.The land was densly covered with oak, pine, hemlock, and maple trees, and in the low places, ash trees, and wild animals were still numerous and troublesome.  But the forests soon gave way before the axe of the pioneers, and the land not only afforded support for the family, but yielded a comfortable living as well.  John lived on this farm until his death.  Prior to his decease his two younger sons had left home, Charles remaining on the farm.

Charles was Catholic in faith and one of the founders of the Church of the Holy Martyrs of Gorcum in Preble Township.  He was supervisor of his township and in his political preference he was a democrat, invariable supporting that party in state and national elections, but in township and county affairs he was a non-partisan , the fitness of a candidate being more important than party considerations.
