I am trying to find the descendents of John Carstens, b. 1837 in Germany.
He lived in Nokomis, IL in 1868, and ran a hardware and grain business. Later his his
business was known as Carstens and Son. He died about 1913.
He married Jeanette Hughes about 1863.

Garrett b. abt 1864 Nokomis, IL

She married Fred J. Miller 12 Feb 1889
Anges b. abt 1869 Nokomis IL
She married Henderson Williams 19 Sept 1984
Anna b. abt 1872 Nokomis IL
