Prehaps Minnie was a nick name. The census also indicate a step son named Luther Larson which indicates a possible previous marriage for her. Based on that info, here's what I found. Social security index references two mary kachermeyer's. The first one is wife of Benedict Kachermeyer. The second one may be Minnie/Mary, wife of Peter. No Minnie Kachermeyer listed. Mary b 29 aug 1886 d Mar 1967 (wife of benedict) Mary b 20 feb 1884 d dec 1967 (possible peter's wife) from the Dunkirk Observer: Peter Paul Kachermeyer b. 7 sep 1877 Lucinda, PA d. 23 oct 1955, Fredonia, NY resident of 68 Liberty St, Fredonia buried at Webster St Cemetery Wife Mary Spouse Minnie or Mary (possibly Luther) married Peter between 1910-1920 She had a previous marriage to Henry Larson and a son, Luther Henry Larson, b abt 1909, died 12 apr 1959 in NYC. He was a muscian. His mother is listed as Mary Kachermeyer. The 1910 census lists Henry and Mary Larson, son Luther in Fredonia on Water Street. Also listed is mother-in-law, Florence Luther, widow. It doesn't indicate if Florence had multiple marriages or not. I haven't seen any references to the Heidenbeck name. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
