Someone might want to use these results to request a search by the National Archives for land entry case files of the John H. Lohmann – Serial Patent Number 252067.
The application for Land Patents to these properties will contain interesting genealogy/family history information and the Homestead Proof documents will likely provide facts as to how the property was improved.

Notes
- The John H. Lohmann land patent was issued about two years after the land patent was issued to Wilhelm Kirmse. I assume that Lohmann applied about 1906.
