Sorry I forgot to include in my original post that he was born FRANZ HEINRICH UCHTMANN in Lohne, Oldenburg, Germany in 1853. After immigration in 1873, he lived in Cincinnati, Ohio all his life as a furniture maker. He married Anna Margaretha Tepe in 1882. One brother immigrated to Cincinnati in 1871, and another (my gr grandfather) in 1880. F. Henry immigrated sometime in-between (he says 1873).
