Geocache Description:

NOT at the listed coordinates.

Please make a note of the bonus number in the logbook. Everyone in this series were born (MADE) in Germany but became US citizens. I hope that each person who completes this series learns a little bit more about how our two countries, Germany and The United States of America, are forever connected

HINTS

I am a man.
I was born is what is now Baden-Wuerttemberg.
I am dead.

I immigrated to the USA in 1848.
My cousin was my business partner and with a loan from my father we opened a business in Brooklyn NY.
What I produced was used quite a bit during the US Civil War.

I returned to Europe often and married a woman from my home town in 1859.
I had five children.
In 1900 my company was incorporated.

I died in 1906 a few weeks after falling down stairs and breaking my arm.
My business continues today with over 100,000 employees and is valued over $60,000,000,000.00.

You can find the final at:

N 49.A.BCD E 7.E.FGH

 A = (1,4) + (2,2)
B = (2,3)
C = (2,2) - (2,5) - (1,3)
D = (1,4) - (2,1) + (1,6)

E = (1,6) + (2,4)
F = (1,2)
G = (2,6) - (2,1)
H = (1,2) + (1,4) - (2-4)

To solve use the NUMBER value of the letters in the persons name. I.E. A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4,...Z=26.
