BJ: In 1988 I published the following article: "Geiger Families of Nineteenth Century Baltimore City" in the Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin vol. 29 (Summer 1998) no. 3, pp. 213-232. On pages 216-17 you will find the following in reference to your query: John William Herman Geiger (John, William) born 21 June 1856, baptized at Trinity German Lutheran Church. Married (1) Rosanna Isabella Gorsuch 17 April 1879. She died 13 Sep 1888. Baltimore City administration accounts identify her children and husband as of 2 Nov 1888. Geiger married (2) Magdalena Melis who was born 2 Aug 1856. She died 2 May 1948; residence 2024 East Baltimore Street. John W. H. Geiger died 14 May 1908. He and both of his wives are interred in Greenmount Cemetery (Northeast number 77). Additionally you will find references for the above information as well as further data on Geigers' parents and grandparents as well as siblings. Good Luck and Happy Holidays!
