Lahr, Sr.) who married in NYC, received naturalization in Erie Co., OH, and ultimately settled in Allegany (town), Cattaraugus Co., NY. Here's the 1896 obit from the Allegany, NY, newspaper: Title = A Sudden Death Text = Miss Henrietta Langohr was born in Torgau, Prussia, Setpember 26, 1830, and died in Allegany, NY, Tuesday evening June 30, 1896, of heart failure while sitting in her chair. Death came very unexpectedly and broke up the family circle. She was married to Mr. George Lahr in New York on Mary 30, 1856, and moved to Allegany where they have lived about forty years. Mrs. Lahr was an affectionate wife, a loving mother, and a kind neighbor. She leaves a husband who is very feeble in health, also four daughters and three sons who mourn their great loss. The funeral services were held at her late residence on First Street on Friday, July 3rd at 2:30 p.m. and by special requrest were quite brief; Rev. W. W. Browne officiating, after which her remains were laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery on the hill there to await the Resurrection Morning. God grant that the entire family may be reunited in heaven.
