1884-1887 Somewhere in during this period we believe
Augusta Funne Kiesel made this quilt which included her
name. The design we believe is Hawaiian therefore we
attribute this to this time period.
1887 - Karl Kiesel applies for immigration and states that he was
a resident of Washington State. [immigration application papers]
Eventually Emil Kiesel gets a job with the Northern Pacific
railroad in Tacoma, Washington. He probably helps to get the rest
of the family to move to Tacoma including his father, Karl, and
his mother, Freda. The photo of Karl and Augusta below was
probably taken about this time since it was created in
Tacoma, WA.

We don't know when Karl moves to Los Angeles. He apparently lives
the last few years with his daughter Johanna Kiesel Augustine, who
signs the death certificate. They are shown on the death

Los Angeles, CA. 1934, 10 May Los Angeles, California
Karl Kiesel dies of "cerebral hemorrhage" at 8:05 pm. He
apparently was "senile" at the time and had lived at 1041 W. 46th
St. at the time. He is listed on his death certificate as being in
California for seventeen years and in the USA for 46 years. He was
cremated in Inglewood Park Cem. 5/12/34. His ashes are interred in
the grave of his wife in Tacoma, WA shortly afterwards. His
wife is listed as Auguste M.
Kiesel. His birth place is shown as Berlin, Germany, father's
listed as Carl Kiesel born
in
Berlin, Germany; unknown
mother born in Berlin, Germany. He is said to have lived in
L. A. for seventeen years. [California State Death
