The Schluters came from Lewe, Hanover, moving to nearby Goslar sometime in the early 19th Century. Heinrich (1815) and his family immigrated in June, 1854 aboard the "Blumenthal". They settled in Chicago. After their daughter, Auguste, married Henry Zellar in 1872, the young couple moved to Whitehall, Michigan. Heinrich and Johanne, along with their two youngest children, were living with Henry (Heinrich) and Auguste Zellar in Whitehall at the time of the 1880 census. According to descendant Dorothy Akins Jens, Johanne was present at the christening of her mother in 1901, in Illinois.
