I think my mom may have one photograph of Marcellite when she was married to Desmond Ray Gannon. They had one child, my grandmother, Ruth Carolyn Gannon. I have Marcellite's signet ring, and that is all we have or know of the Hilfert family. When Ruth's mother died she was sent to live with her Gannon relatives. She only really knew of two of her uncles-- Edward and Burt. Here are the siblings of Charles and Caroline: Henry Oscar Hilfert was born 9 Aug 1871. Married Abbie May Scofield . He died 30 Apr 1906 in Milwaukee. They had two children, Lucille and Margaret. He was a pharmacist. Clara A Hilfert born about Apr 1873. Married William Herman Peck in Dec 1906. I don't know when either of them died. They had one child, Eunice. Ida D Hilfert born 3 Jun 1876. Married Thomas Francis Walsh? I think I found a newspaper clipping mentioning their divorce. Francis M Hilfert born 27 Dec 1879. Died 9 Jul 1893 Never married. Albert Otto Hilfert (Burt) was born 29 Jul 1882. He married Amanda Nickish about 1910. Died 11 Mar 1957 in California (about a month before my mother was born). I have never been able to find any information about his wife or her death. I don't believe they ever had children. Edward Charles Hilfert born 30 Sep 1886. He married Kathryn B McDonough in about 1919. They never had children. I have found many articles about him, including one about his estate that mentions Eunice, my grandmother, and your father. I have attached it. It is a little hard to read. Mildred Mathilde Hilfert was born 27 Apr 1890. She died in Ohio 24 Aug 1949. She never married. I found a really nice obituary written about her in the Cleveland newspaper. Marcellite Ione Hilfert was born 23 Jan 1896. She married Desmond Ray Gannon 14 Nov 1927 in Cleveland Ohio. She died 1 Nov 1942. My grandmother said she was always very sickly after she gave birth to her.
