Carolina Mund(t) Sukow 

 

 The patriarch of the Sukow branch of the family was August Karl Sukow.  

The only information on August Sukow at this point in the research is his 

name and that he was born in Stettin,Pommern, Prussia. (Information 

gathered from the death certificate of his son, August,Albertina Sukow 

Stern's brother).  The name Sukow probably is a surname based on 

locality.  

 The matriarch of the Sukow branch of the family is Carolina Mund(t), who 

immigrated to the United States from Germany.  Carolina was born on 

November 30, 1838 in Bredow, Pommern, Prussia. From the 1911 Edition 

Encyclopedia; "Bredow was a village of Germany, in the kingdom of 

Prussia, immediately north of Stettin, of which it forms a suburb.  Here 

are the Vulcan Iron Works and shipbuilding yards, where the liners 

"Deutschland" (1900) , the "Kaiserin Augusta Victoria" (1906), and the 

"George Washington" (1908), the largest vessel in the German Mercantile 

marine were built; and also sugar, cement and other factories."

 The (known) children of August and Carolina Mundt Sukow are; August 

Sukow born on March 19, 1860,  Albertina Sukow Stern born on April 26, 

1858, Augusta Sukow Strangman born on May 11, 1867, and Bertha Sukow  

Neubauer born in February 1863. All four of the Sukow children immigrated 

to the United States and came to Mower County, Minnesota.  At the time of 

the 1885 Minnesota State Census they are all living in the Village of 

Dexter with the households being close together.    With the exception of 

Albertina who was already married to Ferdinand, the other siblings 

married their spouses after immigrating to Minnesota.  (Refer to marriage 

notice for Augusta Sukow)



 Carolina lived with her children after coming to Minnesota, and 

presumably she was a widow by the time they came to the United States in 

1885.  Lydia Stern Tolstead remembered her Grandmother Sukow being a 

frequent visitor in their home.  She evidently was usually dressed in a 

severe grey dress and sat in a rocking chair in their home. Following is 

a notice in the Mower County Transcript, also on left see copy of death 

card for Carolina. Her death certificate lists cerebral hemorrhage.  

Church records, Carolina Mund (Mutter Sukow) February 21, 1906 (funeral) 

February 24, 06, list her death as being from Schlag.

 Carolina Mund(t) Sukow died on February 18, 1906 and is buried in the 

Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery in Dexter Township.  She is buried 

close to her daughter  Augusta Strangman and her husband Ferdinand.  

Carolina shares a granite tombstone with Wilhemina Strangman, one side of 

the stone has the inscription "Strangman" and the other side of the stone 

has the inscription "Sukow".



       DEXTER

 "Mrs. Carolina Sukow had a parametric stroke Sunday evening, Feb.18th 

while at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ferd Strangman. The whole side 

was paralyzed.  She died Wednesday evening from the effects.  She was 68 

years of age.  Funeral was held Friday afternoon."
