My husband is a descendant of John Christian Bellmer and would be interested in any and all information about this family. He's an occasional researcher and I'm the died in wool fanatic researcher, so you may be conversing with me. We have a copy of the Dunkerton Cemetary internee list and there are quite a few Bellmers and related family. The people who put this Cemetary list together did a good job of genealogical research on each one. So there is a great deal of surprise information. I see here that they list John C. Bellmer's family as follows: 1 John & Adelheid had the following children: 2 Sophia Myers 2 Mrs. Mary Krahn (d. 16 Nov. 1941, age 83) 2 Mrs. Mathilda Smith 2 Charles Bellmer (My husband's direct ancestor) 2 Henry Bellmer (I see from your email that you Sophia & Mathilda are middle names of the girls. I also note that there is no mention of John Wesley Bellmer! Good find for us.) The cemetary list only has 1828 as birth information and that he died 13 June 1901 at the age of 73. You have noted the month of February as birth month. My husband's line is: 1 John C (G.) Bellmer, b.February 1828, d.13 June 1901, m. Adelheid Gerkin 2 Charles Dage Bellmer, b. 21 May 1865-26 Apr. 1935; m1. Unknown; m2 Mabel Clubine 3 Harold E. Bellmer, b. 4 Feb. 1896, d. 23 Jan. 1971, m. Erma Neola Goff 4 Blanche (Goff) Childs - Marona. b. 4 Aug. 1921 (need to confirm). Living, age 84. m1 Max Whitney Childs, died. m2 Tom Marona, Living. 5 Jerry Duane Childs Blanche (Bellmer) Childs - Marona most likely will talk to anyone interested in the Bellmer line. Not sure how far back she knows the family history, but she's a sharp lady.
