I am the granddaughter of Charles Schirrmacher, son of John Martin Schirrmacher, and know quite a bit about the history of Gus Fischer and the Schirrmacher family, which I can share...message me. The Schirrmacher family line is on this tree as well.
Gus Fischer was orphaned as a boy, and the Schirrmacher family took him in - although he was never formally adopted & retained his original surname, he was treated as a family member. Said the Schirrmachers treated him better than his own uncles.
Immigrated with August Schirrmacher and his bride Emilie Krueger in September 1891, and settled on truck farms in Blue Island, Illinois, then outside of Chicago.
Gus Fischer is listed as the godfather of John and Anna Schirrmacher's daughter Louise in the records of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Blue Island.
Gustav left with August Schirrmacher to homestead in Hyde County, SD, but decided to return to Blue Island.
Gus was taken in by the Schirrmacher family after his parents died. Although not formally adopted, he became part of the family. He immigrated with the Schirrmachers to Blue Island, and briefly moved to South Dakota with one Schirrmacher brother.
