Henry Herman (Jr) was born in Saxony May 20, 1835 and died in Lebanon,MO Nov 1, 1919. He married Elizabeth Rauschelbach (Rauchelbach)also from Germany(born Jan 21 1839)in Nov 1856 in Hermann, MO. She died Oct 3 1881 in Lebanon, MO They had 9 children. Bianca, Caeasar, Frolisco, Hattie, Esther and 4 who died as young children or babies, Loretta, Ottdema, Julious, and Lambeth. Herman remarried on June 16, 1883 to Sarah Melcina Martha Catherina Harriet Ann Basnett (yep thats all ONE name) She was born March 26, 1849 They had three children Emma, Epolite and a baby girl. Martha died March 3, 1923. I believe she was from the Lebanon area as their family is still around here. Mr great great grandfather was Caesaer, I have not found much on any of the rest so far. I know Caesar married an Ida Mae Fitzpatrick Nov 20, 1881. His daughter Tracy was my great grandmother. Hope some of this is helpful to you. Good luck. You may email me at twowoodhippies@tds.net
