Her father was Samuel Davis Hawley. Carl operated Salem's first pipe organ factory. Son of Felix, the German organ builder. Barckhoffs came from Germany to America in 1865 and located in Philadelphia where they built and shipped organs. Later Carl located in Pittsburgh where he built an organ for Salem's First Presbyterian Church. Organ was dedicated in Salem on Sept. 23, 1880 w/ Carl presiding at the console. He was accompanist for the vocalists, Ella Mullen and Miss Cora Hawley. At the time of the concert, Cora Hawley lived in Philadelphia and was visiting her aunt, Mrs. Sally Hiddleson who lived in the Benjamin Hawley homestead in Salem. Cora was trained to be an opera singer, but instead married Carl Barckhoff. The organ factory was established in 1882 and was located on Vine Ave.I have no date for the marriage. Btw, the mother of Cora Hawley Barckhoff was Susan Altemus Hawley. Also, Cora and Carl had a! daughter, Sarah Hawley Barckhoff born June 1, 1892. No other info on Sarah and I have nothing on Carl's other marriages.
