Charles Steinhoff was the second American born child in a German family. Charles' parents, Christian Heinrich "Henry" and Juliane "Julia" Christiane Louise Amalie Just (Americanized to Yost), immigrated from Opperhausen, Duchy of Braunschweig, Germany, in 1851 with four children and Henry's parents.
Charles married Elizabeth Kochert on 23 Apr 1876 in Monroe County, Ohio. The Steinhoffs were low German, meaning they lived in the northern part of Germany where land is fairly comparable to Iowa land-gently rolling with stands of trees. The lowlands are closer to the North Sea than the area the Kocherts came from, which is in the south and referred to as the highlands. There was quite a distinction between the topographical areas the Kocherts and the Steinhoffs came from, as well as the languages.
Charles Steinhoff appears to have followed his brother, William, to Iowa. On February 24, 1881, Charles purchased forty acres for $450 on the ‘bluffs' road just south of Iowa Highway 141. At this time, Charles and Elizabeth had two daughters, Mary Elizabeth (Kilzer) and Minnie Lavina (never married). The girls were born on September 19, two years apart (1877 and 1879).
Minnie used to tell a story of her family living in ‘Sugar Loaf' next to the loess bluffs east of Hornick. Prior to building a house, the family dug into the side of ‘Sugar Loaf' and used this cave as their home. The same band of Indians (could have been Pawnee, Omaha or Ponca according to a University of Iowa archeologist) traveled past Sugar Loaf each spring and fall. They would stop at the Steinhoff home. Charles had his dog trained to go into the chicken yard and bring out a chicken. The Steinhoffs would give the Indians the chicken to keep the peace and the Indians would travel on.
A July 13, 1949, letter Mary Steinhoff Kilzer wrote to her niece, Fern Steinhoff Jones, recalled the dug-out: "Today was your Dad's birthday…I remember the day he was born. We were so glad to have a little brother…Bert Clifts must have just come from Ohio as they were staying with the folks. They were still living in the dug-out but had a room built on in front. That was where your Dad was born, below the ‘Sugar Loaf'." Theodore Steinhoff was born July 13, 1888, so apparently the family lived in ‘Sugar Loaf' for at least seven years.
In December 1882, Charles purchased ten acres two sections west of his first land. He held this ten acres only nine years. In 1883 he purchased forty acres adjoining his original land to the east. And in 1891 he purchased another eighty acres in that holding.
Charles and Elizabeth had three Iowa-born children: Pauline Matilda Hummel, born July 8 1883; Theodore Franklin, born July 13, 1888; and Emma Louise Morton, born September 11, 1893.
In 1898 Charles Steinhoff purchased eighty acres of Monona County land two miles south of Hornick. It's not known whether Charles and Elizabeth ever lived south of Hornick. They did live in a house directly across from ‘Sugar Loaf'. Presumably Charles Steinhoff had that home built or build it himself.
On December 14, 1905, Charles Steinhoff had a farm sale, selling $1,995.86 worth of farm equipment, household goods and livestock. The item bringing the most money was a black mare sold to J M Hackley for $154. Some of the other interesting items sold were: M Clift, Sewing machine, $11.00; John Kochert, Iron kettle, $3.10; Matilda Clift, 1 dozen jars, $1.30; J S Egger, 5 stands of bees at $1.60, $8.00; J C Steinhoff, Organ $32.00; Louis Unkel, Fur coat, $18.50; John Sas, Two-seated buggy, $23.50; Peter Inman, Sattley corn plow, $9.75; Geo Steinhoff, Bull, $51.00; H C Steinhoff, Set sleigh bells, $1.00; Ivan Tresham, Bedstead & springs, $3.00; Sofus Tonneson, Parlor lamp, $.80; T E Jones, 2-row cultivator, $40.00.
In March 1906, Charles purchased 71 acres near Ashland, Ohio. Supposedly the Steinhoffs were homesick for Ohio and Charles Sulsberger told them the land around Ashland was much better than Monroe County, Ohio land. Four of their five children moved back to Ohio with Charles and Elizabeth. Mary had married William Kilzer in 1899 and remained in Iowa.
In 1910 Dominic Hummel went out to Ohio to marry Pauline. They then returned to Iowa. Theodore Steinhoff returned to Iowa sometime after that and married Freda Unkel in 1914. In 1917, the youngest daughter, Emma, married a native Ohioan, Alfred Morton. She remained in Ohio all her life.
On March 22, 1919, Charles sold his Ohio land. On September 27 of the same year he purchased fifteen acres at Rodney, Iowa.
