On April 5, 1882, the SS Switzerland, a 3 ton, 3 masted, 329' x 38' ship, arrived in New York harbor from Antwerp, Belgium. Among the passengers were Martin and Susanna Welter and their seven children. They moved directly to Dubuque, Iowa. After living in Dubuque for eight or nine years, their son, Mathias, moved to Oregon.		[[File:mwelter.jpg\|200px\|thumb\|left\|Mathias Welter.
