Rudolph and his wife Caroline (Peters?) emigrated to Canton from Germany around 1890.

It appears that Friedrich A Peters and wife Anna Preuss emigrated at the same time as Helena and Caroline.
I believe Caroline to be the daughter of Friedrich. Friedrich is the brother of Helena.
Rudolph and Caroline were married in Canton, Ohio on Oct 28, 1893
They moved to North Dakota around 1905. 
Rudolph was either Herman's brother or nephew.
 Note:  Both Herman's wife Helena and Rudolph's wife Caroline were born PETERS. They are  Aunt/Niece.
