Carl Ruthz is the name that was written on the passenger list of the Aeolus in 1854.
After he immigrated to the United States, he used the name Charles Franklin Rutz.
Born: December 7, 1820, perhaps in German Bohemia (per the 1910 US census).
Died: January 30, 1912, Crawford County, Missouri
Buried: Oak Hill, Missouri
Last Residence: On his farm located between Owensville, Missouri and Cuba, Missouri
Charles and Franklin were not names used in Germany in 1820. Carl and Freidrich were very commonly used.
Perhaps Charles Franklin Rutz was Carl Freidrich Ruthz in Germany.
