Tombstone Tuesday: Frank and Bernadina (Hut) Schroeder

8/18/2014

0 Comments

 
Frank and Bernadina (Hut) Schroeder were my husbands 3x great-grandparents.  They were both German Catholic immigrants that came to America and settled in western Ohio in the mid-19th century. They met in the town of Minster. 

Frank, who also went by Franz, passed away in 1888 at the age of 66, and is buried in St. Patrick Cemetery in Shelby County, Ohio.  Bernadina, whose full name was Joanna Bernadina, lived quite a while longer than her husband, and passed away in 1921 at the age of about 86. (Her birth year is listed as 1833 on her stone and in her obituary, but is listed as 1834 on her death certificate.) At the time of his death, Frank owned a farm in Turtle Creek Twp in Shelby County and the family attended nearby St. Patrick's Catholic Church.  After Frank's death, Bernadina went to live with her son Joseph and his family, and, not long before her death, they moved to Minster, which is why she is buried in St. Augustine's Cemetery.

Sunday's Obituary: Bernadina Hut Schroeder

6/28/2014

0 Comments

 
Johanna Bernadina Hut Schroeder was my husband's 3x great-grandmother through his paternal grandfather's line.  As mentioned (although misspelled) in her obituary below, she was born in Löningen, Cloppenburg, Niedersachsen, Germany, a fact that actually agrees with the place of origin on her family's passenger list.  Her year of birth varies depending upon which source is consulted, but she was born sometime between 1833 and 1834.

Johanna Bernadina, who usually went Bernadine or Bernadina, came to America as a young child with parents and her older brother, Theodore, in 1837.  The family's surname is spelled 'Huth' on the passenger list, but once in America, they used the name 'Hut' regularly. The family settled in Minster, Auglaize County, Ohio, which was, at that time, a new community of mostly German immigrants.

Obituary of Bernadina Hut Schroeder, The Minster Post
Bernadina's father, Ludwig, passed away in 1839, and her mother, Adelheide, remarried a man named Lucas Clement or Clemens.  Bernadina married Franz ('Frank' or 'Fred') Schroeder in 1852. The couple had nine children.  Her husband's year of death is incorrect as stated in her obituary; according to Shelby County probate death records, he passed away in 1888.

Bernadina's death certificate can be seen below. She passed away 15 January 1921 and the (supposed) age of 86 years.  The informant, her son, Joseph Schroeder, incorrectly listed her father's first name as 'John,' but considering that he passed away when Bernadina was still a child, that's an understandable error.  Her mother is listed as 'Adline Frozenbusch.' I'm not entirely sure where that surname came from; a family history written by Bernadina's brother, Theodore, states that their mother's maiden name was 'Brant,' and St. Augustine Cemetery records indicate a maiden name of 'Brand' for Adelheide.
