Geocache Description:


The cache IS NOT at the posted coordinates. If you search at the listed coordinates you will be completely wet.

I love almost everything about Germany and am proud of my German roots so I figured I would recreate a series of caches I did in Germany here in NE Ohio. I hope you enjoy them as much as the Germans did.

Each of the people in this series were Made (born) in Germany. Later in life they immigrated to the USA and became citizens of America. Many of them had a great influence on the USA and the rest of the world. I hope that each person who completes this series learns a little bit more about how our two countries, German and The United States of America, are forever connected. So here we go! See if you can figure out who this person is or was.

HINTS
 

I am a man.

I was born is what is now Baden-Wuerttemberg.

I am dead.

 

Too Difficult?  Maybe this will help:

I immigrated to the USA in 1848.

My cousin was my business partner and with a loan from my father we opened a bought a building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY where I produced santonin.

What I produced was used quite a bit during the US Civil War.

Do you know who I am now? No?

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.

Final hints

I died in 1906 a few weeks after falling down stairs and breaking my arm.

My business continues today with close to 100,000 employees and is valued over $60,000,000,000.00.

My wife's names was Anna Hausch
