History of Jetter/Yetter and Kraiss Families
By Alice Kalush
Last Updated: 07/25/2013
I expect to do additional work on this document at some later time.
The Jetter family originated in Engstlatt, Wuerttemberg, Germany as early as Johann Ludwig Jetter born
there in 1763. Our ancestor Anna Maria Jetter’s sister Christina married Balthazar Jetter. The familial
relationship between Christina and her husband isn’t known. The ancestry of our ancestor Anna Maria
Jetter is from Engstlatt but her parents aren’t known.

Chapter One: Ludwig and Anna Maria Jetter DONE
Ludwig Jetter (Americanized to Yetter) and his wife Anna Maria Fenter 1 immigrated from Engstlatt,
Wuerttemberg, Germany which is near Frankfort. Andrew Leidy remembers being told that the Jetters
had 6 or 7 girls and only one boy named Louis. To avoid compulsory They immigrated to America to
avoid compulsory conscription into the German army of all 18 year old boys. The traveled from
Hamburg to New York aboard the Wieland, leaving on and arriving in New York on June 15, 1880
including their daughters Anna Maria 23, Ludwig/Louis 19, Barbara 17 and Marie 6. The Hamburg
passenger list includes that their previous residence was Engstlatt. It appears that the Jetter family
lived in Philadelphia initially. There’s no record of Ludwig’s death. Cemetery records list Anna Maria
Yetter’s death. Neither Ludwig or Anna were found in the Philadelphia City directory.

Chapter Two: Miscellaneous Letters and Memories DONE
Excerpt From Letter Written By Ruth Musser Kraiss Gable to Andrew Leidy June 23, 1978:
I know you will be surprised to hear from me. I hear indirectly about you from Marianna Leidy.
1. Do you know who has the Kraiss Bible in which vital records were entered?
I have written the Department of Health in New Castle and they reply all documents are
returned after notations of contents are made. Dad used this Bible record to obtain birth
certificate for Social Security benefits because the copy of Application I have in my possession
and this is stated on it.
2. I would like to know where Kraiss(s) came from in Germany and any facts anyone might know or
have.
I have secured a record from Northwood Cemetery in Philadelphia, showing in adittion to our
grandparents being buried there, also great grandmother Maria Yetter who did about the same
years as Thomas Kraiss.
3. I would like to know where Yetter came from in Germany and any facts anyone might know or
have.

Letter Written by Andrew J. Leidy, 2800 or 3800 Giles Circle, Norfolk, VA 23513 on July 3, 1978 to Ruth
Musser Kraiss Gable
Dear Ruth,
Your letter was a surprise – I have lost contact with mother’s side of the family. I knew your father was
deceased, Louis and his wife deceased and Frank deceased2. I have seen cousin Russell3 once about
nine years ago. It would appear that he may have the family bible since Aunt Eva (his mother) was the
last of the Kraiss to have passed. You perhaps know Grandmother Kraiss died in our home (now razed)
on Cowpath Road4. Uncle Louis and Aunt Eva lived in Souderton and I believe when mother died they
were the recipients of all the documents and the bible along with the large portrait of Grandfather
Thomas Kraiss.5
A brief background of myself may be of interest to you. You will recall I graduated from Penn State
University, took a masters degree at Columbia University and did additional wok at the University of
Virginia and Old Dominion University. I did not obtain my doctors degree because I have not completed
the doctoral research or written the brief. I taught in Connecticut for a year, in California for 8 years (5
years as Headmaster of Elsinore Headway (? on spelling) and 32 ½ yeaers in Virginia (27 yrs in
administrative positions) and retired December 31, 1977.
In 1943 I married Thelma Herbert of Suffolk, Virginia. We have three sons (none married who are all
college graduates) Thomas 33, Herbert 31 and Michael 27. None of the sons are married nor making
progress toward marriage.
In answer to some of the specific questions you asked:
1. I really do not know where the Kraiss bible is. I know there was one, but when mother died in
1934 I was forced to have a personal auction which was public. Many family relics were lost to
use because of the public sale.
2. Thomas Kraiss was a citizen of Frankfort Am Mein, Germany as was Grandmother Maria. I
believe he was a brewmaster of some brewery in Frankfort as he was of some brewery in
Philadelphia.6
2 Ruth Gable’s father was Charles Louis Kraiss, Louis was Charles’ brothers, wife Eva Schoble. Frank was Charles’
brother. Andrew J. Leidy was the oldest son of Charles’ sister Anna Caroline Kraiss and Pierce Romig Leidy. 3 Russell Kraiss was son of Frank Kraiss.
4 Cowpath Road is located in Hatfield Township in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Both (grandmother) Mary
Kraiss and her son Frank Kraiss were living with the Leidy family according to the 1920 census. 5 Kathy Elaine Miller Hengst, granddaughter of Charles Louis Kraiss has the Kraiss bible (2013). It is unknown who
has the Thomas Kraiss portrait. 6 One unsourced researcher had Thomas Kraiss born in Schönaich, Württemberg, Germany, a small town near
Frankfort. Philadelphia City directories from the 1880s and 1890s list Thomas Kraiss/Kreiss as a butcher.
6
3. I have a feeling, undocumented that Yetters was also from Frankfort-Am-Mein.7 I have a hazy
recollection that the Yetter family was predominately female (either 6 or 7 girls) and only one
son , Louis (our parent’s uncle, who owned and lived on a farm about ¼ east of our home on
township line). Our grandmother lived with him until she became ill and moved in with us. I
believe the Yetter’s left Germany when Bismarck unified the German States into the Kingdom of
Germany (1870?)8 and institutes compulsory military conscription for all males when they
reached their 18th birthday. This was done to avoid the only Yetter son being drafted into the
army.
4. Our parents had aunts and cousins in the Germantown area of Philadelphia (33rd and Girard
Ave.). I can recall a Beiswanger or Beiswinger – Annie I believe and a Mulaney – Ruth I believe,
who visited us frequently when I was teenager.9
You might try contacting my sister Ruth who lives near Marianne in Souderton.10
I am sending under separate cover a program when the high school of which I was principal was
dedicated.
Sincerely,
Andrew J. Leidy
7 The Hamburg Passenger List for the June 2 1880 departure of the Wieland lists the Jetter family as being from
Engstlatt, Wuerttemberg, Germany which is another small town near Frankfort. 8 The unification of Germany occurred on 18 January 1871.
9 Anna B. Beisswenger was the daughter of Andrew’s mother’s sister Barbara Jetter and Carl/Charles Beisswenger.
The 1910-1930 census have Barbara and Anna Beisswenger living at 1454 Hollywood Street in Philadelphia which is near the corner of Girard and North 29
th Street.
10 Andrew’s sister in law Marianne Detwiller, wife of his brother Robert H. Leidy and his sister Ruth Leidy, wife of
Merrill F. Price.

Excerpt from Ruth Musser Kraiss Gable’s January 25, 1982 to Mrs. Thelma Leidy (Andrew Leidy’s
widow):
By the way of introduction, I am Andy’s first cousin. I am the daughter of Charles L. Kraiss, who died in
1957.
In a recent letter sent to my sister, Barbara Kraiss Miller, and forwarded to me, Marianne (Bob Leidy’s
widow) mentioned Andy’s tragic death. How sad to have an unfortunate accident and remain in a coma
those long months before dying! You have my love and sympathy.
Believe me, I feel very guilty about my procrastination. Because – several years back, I wrote Andy
asking about this maternal grandparents. Within a week he wrote me giving me a little info. Well, I
never answered his letter because I kept meaning to write a couple of “Kriass” address I had found in a
phone book on one of our trips to Germany. I haven’t gotten to that either. And now he is gone too.
I have many wonderful memories of the Leidy family. My Dad and Aunt Anna (Andy’s mother) were
very close and we frequently went for a weekend (about 80 miles distant) for a visit. They lived in a big
old house out in the country. The windows had deep windowsills. Upstairs the walls were painted and
had a stencil design used as trim in bedrooms and bath. Also they had a player piano which was great
fun, as ours was only an ordinary piano. Since our family only consisted of 2 girls, being around so many
boys was different experience for us. The Leidys had a 8-passenger car for their large family with those
fold-down jump seta which were novel for us. After Andy left for college, I seldom, if ever, saw him
because he was 6 years older than I.

Chapter 7 : Michael Kraiss and Hannah Hagenbucher DONE
Michael Kraiss was the son of Thomas Kraiss and Maria Mezger. Michael Kreiss arrived from Bremen, Germany in Philadelphia aboard the Washington on May 14, 1860. The source of Hannah’s maiden name was the Heinrich Carl Friedrich Kreiß and Linde Luise Kreiß
baptismal records at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Philadelphia (written in German). Many of these children were difficult to trace because of frequent variations in the spelling of Kraiss (Kreiss, Kreis, Kreiß) and the obvious presence of unrelated people with the same surname. Charles F. was living and working with his father as a butcher in 1893, 1894. Frederick was living and working with his father as a butcher in 1886. 1-Michael Kraiss b. 19 Nov 1840, Schönaich, Böblingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, d. 28 May 1900, Philadelphia, PA +Hannah (Johanna) Hagenbucher b.
