Christian Finger came to the U.S. as a single man in 1905. We find him on the first census in 1910 (at age 30 in Powhattan, Kansas), in the household of Gottlieb Wenger as a hired man. Gottlieb's daughter, Clara Wenger later became his wife. The census records show his first child was born in 1913, so he must have married about that time. Interestingly Gottlieb was a witness for his naturalization in 1917.

He and Karl Finger, who came to the U.S. in 1925, are assumed to be brothers.

Found him on the 1915 Powhattan, Brown, Kansas state census (img 51) as Christian Finger age 35.

Found him on the 1940 Powhattan, Brown, Kansas census (dist 7-23 img 9) as Christian Finger age 60.

WWII Draft Registration

Found him on the 1956 Powhattan, Kansas city and county census (img 4) as Christain Finger age 76.
