Today I looked at the 1900 US Census for South Dakota > Huntchinson > Township 100 > District 193. I had found it some time ago on a search for Carl Braatz, but hadn't actually looked through it yet.
Page 3 has Carl and Sarah Braatz, and 8 of their children including nine-year-old Isaac. They are listed as having 9 living children, but the youngest, born in 1900, is not named on the form. It states Carl's immigration date as 1867, and his birth as Mar 1851.
Sarah's father and mother were born in Pennsylvania and Indiana, respectively, and her father Isaac Kiser Stainbrook is noted on page 4 as a widower at age 69. He and his parents were all born in Pennsylvania. Also in Isaac's home is a 58-year-old servant named JohnWardwell, who is originally from Wisconsin.
Several of Sarah's siblings are also found throughout the census.
Looking through the rest of the census, we find Truman Dodge and his wife Dora (Klotz) on page 5 with their four children. One of those is four-year-old Mina, future wife of Isaac Braatz. Truman and Dora had been married for 10 years, and Dora's parents are living nearby, listed on page 2. Truman, b. 1867, and his mother were both born in Iowa, but his father was from Ohio.
John and Anna Klotz, Dora's parents, reported 6 of their 10 children were still living, though none were in the household. John, b. 1832, and Anna, b. 1831, were both born in Austria to Austrian parents and came to the US in 1869.

You might be interested to know the name is Broatz and not Braatz. Frank Mashino was our great grandfather.
