Christina NAGEL was born to Johann Friedrich Wilhelm NAGEL and
Dorthea (THIERS) NAGEL in Russia where she would meet and marry Frederick
Fuhrmann on January 15, 1892.
In 1893 Christina, along with her new husband Frederick along
with their 5-month-old son, Frederick, boarded the steamship SS Dubbledam
in Rotterdam, Holland (Netherlands). Also sailing with Frederick and Christina
were several family members. They arrived in America at Ellis Island and soon
headed west to the Dakotas. Christina and Fredrick eventually settled on a
wheat farm and went on to have 12 more children who are listed here in
Christina and Fredrick’s profiles (see link below for WikiTree Profile). Copy of the SS Dubbledam Manifest can also be

Obituary for Christina Nagel Fuhrman
Our sister Christina Fuhrmann, née Nagel, was born on July
8th, 1873 in Dobrinka, Russia (today; Dobrinka, Poland). On January 15, 1892,
she entered into marriage with Friedrich Fuhrmann. This marriage gave birth to
13 children, 2 of which preceded it (them) into eternity.
In 1893 she came to America with her husband and settled in
Campbell County, North Dakota. After a short time, they moved into a home in
Bowden, North Dakota and about 14 years ago the family came to Cathay, North
Dakota which is where they made their home.
In 1900 she was converted, and by Priest Colling baptized,
and (became a) member of the parish of Fessenden, North Dakota. After the
family came to Cathay, North Dakota (they) she became a member of the church
here. Her loving, devoted Martha ministries bring her the highest respect and
love of the community, as well as from everyone else she knew. She fell ill
with inflammation of the spinal cord and died after four days. She leaves her
(gods?) husband, 11 children, 8 grandchildren, 1 sister and 2 brothers. (This
obituary was found at U.S., American Historical Society of Germans from Russia
