Charles came to to America with his sister, Eva Katharina Greulich, and his half-brother, Georg Philipp Jakob. His passport, dated November 8, 1855 (the year of his father’s death), was issued at Neckargemund for Karl Philipp Greulich and two relatives. Karl changed his name to Charles Philipp Greulich and at age 17 arranged to learn the shoemakers trade from Samuel O. Stauffer who lived on his father’s farm, south of N. Zionsville, PA.
