Details

DescriptionEd Weidinger's grandfather, Ludwig Weidinger, immigrated from Germany in 1910. Records show that Lue passed through Ellis Island in 1901. After arriving in America, Lue met and married Magdalene Hasenohrl, who had immigrated from Czechoslovakia in 1886. The two homesteaded on the Huntley Irrigation Project in 1907. Their first child, Aloysius, was born in December of 1908 and was the first male baby born on the Project. Aloysius's son, Ed Weidinger and his wife Phyllis still reside in the original Weidinger family homestead house which was built 100 years ago this past summer, 2016.
