Friedrich was born 11 March 1820 in Germany, and died 28 January 1885 in Missouri. His wife Wilhelmine was born 1 Jun 1814 in Germany, and died 28 Aug 1894 in Missouri. Their daughter, Wilhelmine or Minnie, was born 6 Oct 1847 in Germany, married Henry Hoener 31 Mar 1871, and died 6 Dec 1917 in Missouri. Any information would be appreciated.
