Hamburg's passenger lists show Lena Philipp, age 48, of Jackson, MI, and son Lorenz, age 9, departing from Cuxhaven headed for NY via Southampton and Cherbourg, traveling 2nd class on the ship Amerika on 10-3-1907. New York's passenger lists show the Amerika arriving from Cuxhaven with US citizens Lena Pfleger, age 48, and son Lorenz, age 9, on 10-12-1907. The only other column filled out is for occupation, and Lena's is listed as "none."

Son Lawrence A., 12, no profession.
Boarder Louis Eppler, 58, still single, and also, like August, a "potace packer" in the meat market. (Dad suggests maybe it said "retail packer." Eh.)

He became Vice-President of Nash-Kelvinator. He designed all the Kelvinator refrigerators. He had two daughters...my father was very much involved in air-conditioning and actually put central air into our home in Detroit in 1945 plus double glazed windows."
