The family lived near Burton, Texas where they joined other German families who had previously settled in the area. For many years the Bluethmann family lived here until subsequent generations moved to other parts of Texas. Dorothea died in November 1906 and Gottfried in February 1921. They are both buried in the Oak Hill cemetery in Burton, Texas. Many members of the family were in the grocery business, even up until the end of the 20th century.
Some descendants still live in Texas today.
USA The next Bluethman arrival in America was Karl Fredrich August Otto Bl thmann. He was 20 years old. On this voyage the steamer carried exclusively immigrants from Hungary, Russia, Austria and Prussia and, as usual, loaded to capacity with 1032 passengers. He lived most of his life in Hiawatha, Kansas working for the railroad where an unfortunate accident cut off his left hand when he slipped on some ice and fell under a moving train. Otto Bluethman married Fannie Jackson in Fall City, Nebraska, in 1890.
