Michael Eltiste was born in Burgsalach, Germany, on November 21, 1865. His father was Georg Eltiste, and his mother was Anna Beyerlein Eltiste. Their children were Michael, Fritz, Dan, Magdalena and Kunigunde. Michael Eltiste immigrated to the United States in 1880, at the age of 15. He left Germany to stay out of the draft of the Kaiser’s Army. In the United States he migrated from Connecticut to Nebraska to Kansas, where he settled on a farm in Phillipsburg, Phillips County, Kansas. Michael Eltiste married Kunigunde Beyerlein in Stuttgart, Phillips County, Kansas, on November 17, 1891. (Kunigunde Beyerlein’s father, Paulus J. Beyerlein was a first cousin to Michael Eltiste’s mother, Anna Beyerlein Eltiste.) Michael and Kunigunde Eltiste had seven children, George, August, John, Anna, Paul, Emma and Carl. In 1908 the Michael Eltiste family moved to Orange, Orange County, California, where he founded the county-wide organization of M. Eltiste & Company, selling farm implements and tractors. Both Michael & Kunigunde Eltiste died at the age of 83 years. Michael on April 19, 1948 and Kunigunde on July 19, 1955. After leaving Germany, Michael Eltiste’s sisters stayed in Phillips County, Kansas. Magdalena married Fred Eickhoff and had five children. Kunigunde married John Ehm and had eight children.
