Perhaps you have this but you might be interested. I am not of these families. I came across an obit for a Mrs. Christian Bollman in the Sheboygan Press (Wisconsin) on Jan. 24, 1941. Excerpt as follows: Mrs. Ernestina Bollmann, age 96, pioneer of Sheboygan County. She was born in Breslau, Silesia, Germany on Nov. 14, 1844 and came to America with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. August Zimbal in 1849. She married Christian Bollmann on Dec. 20, 1865. He passed away in 1906. I assume you have the obituary for Christian Bollmann from Illinois. The Edwardsville Intelligencer Dec. 17, 1908 Page 4 Christian Bollmann, Sr., for many years a resident of Highland, died at the hospital Saturday, aged 74 years. He was born in Germany and in 1852 came to America, settling at St. Jacob and later in Highland. In 1855 he was married to Miss Hannah Kaempff, who died in 1891. The union was blessed with nine children, of whom six are living. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Edwardsville Intelligencer Dec. 12, 1891 Mrs. Elizabeth Bollmann, age 80 years, 9 months and 10 days died at the home of her son, Herman. Born March 18 or 13, 1811 in Lineo, Province Westphalen, Prussia and came to this country in Nov. 1865 settling near this city. When about 20 years of age she married Wm Bollmann. They had 11 children, seven of whom are living. The Edwardsville Intelligencer Oct. 19, 1892 page 8 Mrs. C. Bollmann who has for several years suffered from dementation, Wednesday night took a dose of Rough on Rats.from the effects of which she died Thursday morning at about age 60.

Sandie: Thank you for the reply! I always find it interesting that one note sparks a flurry of activity and then quiet again for a time. I would definitely be interested in the PDF versions of the Edwardsville OBITs and will contact you on your other email below. When I visited Highland/Edwardsville about 5 years ago to do some research, I ran across three BOLLMANN families in the Edwardsville area in late 1800s, but had only 2 days on site. I think they are likely related, but could never make a link with the limited data I got. What is your source for the OBITs? I am looking for the OBIT of a second wife Maria (HERMANN) BOLLMANN who married my Christian ~1895 and had a daughter Freida who married a LEU. Maria is found in the Census living on her own with a daughter and her other son in 1910, and living with the LEU family in Highland as mother-in-law in 1920/30 Census over 70/80 years old, so likely passed away in 1930s or early 40s. Do not know where she is buried either...rumor is with the LEU family.
