She was married to Joseph Mayer, who came from Baaden, Germany in 1840. Her obituary lists that the "minister's" name as Hugo Grimm. We believe that this "minister" may have come from Louisiana. The newspaper article that we found did not indicate his church affiliation. We want to know if Hugo Grimm was a Jewish Rabbi who came for the funeral. I am trying to determine whether my ancestors were Jewish and concealed this fact. I would like to know if I have Jewish roots. If you have any information that would help, please let me know.
