She was 39 years old and her hubby was about 4 years older, but not certain. I don't remember Cal (as Tina called him) ever mentioning a brother living here in Waukegan, but he did say he had a single sister living in CA. I believe Cal's parents live/d in Medford, Oregon, maybe in Eugene. Best of Luck in your search.

I doubt there will be a death certificate for them. It was not that common in 1889, outside of large metropolitan areas. As to a probate record, he was a new poor immigrant (not here 15 years yet) -- what would there be in regards to an estate? I will check on probate, but it is very doubtful. I even doubt there will be an obituary -- none of the other children had one up until the next generation. Money was tight and obituaries cost money. My big hope is a brief news article in a local paper, because of father & child both dead so close together. > Chris Regards, Don

I stop at Joseph, he was born in 1868 but I don't > have where he was born. Oh boy. I haven't really investigated the Pfannenstill family, outside of Katharina (Catharina). First off, it is so very recently discovered this. Secondly, the other members of the Pfannenstill family aren't related in any way. I did check on the immigration. It appears they arrived in Baltimore in October, 1873 (there is no day of the month on the manifest) on the ship "Berlin", having sailed from Bremen. The family was from Bohemia, Austria -- I am almost certain the village was Neudorf. The family consisted of Franz (age 35), Theresia (age 36), Franz (junior) (age 16), Anna (age 14), Joseph (age 12) and Catharina (age 9). It would appear that this Joseph would have been born in 1861. This Catharina is the one I'm interested in. (Joseph and Anna were witnesses at the wedding of Georg Reichl and Catharina Pfannenstill in 1883.) I also located the family in the 1880 census, but Joseph was no longer living with them at that time. They had also had several more children by this time (Georg, Frank and Caroline). Catharina (age 16) was still living at home. That is as far as I've followed the family, inasmuch as after this Catharina (Katharina) was now a Reichl. There were MANY Pfannenstill families in Neudorf (Bohemia), and I wouldn't be surprised at all if others also immigrated. I seem to recall there being several others in the 1880 census. Hmm, right up higher on that same page of the census I see a John Pfannenstill (63) and wife Emelie Anna (63) with a son named Josef who was 12 years old, born in Austria. This might be "your" Joseph. As these 2 families live close to each other, I'm speculating that they are related. > I didn't see Reichle/Reichel in my records but that doesn't mean that is > shouldn't be, just that I currently don't.

Hi Don, I am related to the Scheid family out of McHenry Illinois and there is a connection with Pfannenstill through the Scheid's and Wagner's. do you have any other information on Katharina Pfannenstill?

Don, Here is a link to the Illinois Newspaper Project web site: http://www.library.uiuc.edu/inp/. You can search their database to see what newspapers are available for Lake County and where they are held. I don't live near Lake County, but I do know that Fremont Public Library has a good genealogy room. Maybe someone who is more familiar with the library might comment. Have you ordered death records from the Lake County Clerk's office? If not, see http://www.rootsweb.com/~illake/vitrec.htm. Have you located a probate file for George Reichl? You might find some interesting information there even if it shed no light on the causes of the deaths. I had a research problem similar to yours in which my g-g-grandmother's husband and three of their sons "disappeared" during a seven year period. I also wondered about a disaster or disease, particularly cholera given the time period. I eventually found a local history bio of my g-g-grandmother, written toward the end of her life after she had remarried and moved to a new state, which provided details on three of the deaths, including her first husband and oldest son who died of cholera within three days of each other. You never know what you might find or where. Good luck! Chris ----- Original Message ----- > > The question I have is, what newspaper would have been covering Fremont > Center in 1889?
