I've "rescued" the original marriage certificate belonging to Samuel HIRSCH and his bride Catherine WIDMANN who were married in Cincinnati, Ohio on the 20th of March 1894. Their license was granted to them on the 16th of March 1894 by Judge Howard FERRIS and then they were married four days later. The couple was married at the German Protestant St. Paul's Church by Pastor Edward VOSS. Witnesses were, Martin GREILICH, Sophie DURKRU, Adolf BAEUERLE, and Therese SCHOFER. Based on limited research I was able to locate the couple in the 1900 census living in Cincinnati. Census records indicate the following: Samuel HIRSCH, born Aug 1861, age 38, married 5 years, born in OH, parents born in Germany, Cigar Manufacturing Carrie HIRSCH, wife, born June 1863, age 36, married 5 years, no children, born in OH, parents born in Germany Adolph HIRSCH, brother, born Apr 1864, age 36, single, born in OH, parents born in Germany, Cigar Manufacturing Nathan HIRSCH, brother, born Jan 1870, age 30, single, born in OH, parents born in Germany, Cutter Julius HIRSCH, brother, born Mar 1872, age 28, single, born in OH, parents born in Germany, Cutter Yadda HIRSCH, mother, born Mar 1831, age 69, widowed, 5 children/all living, born in Germany, parents born in Germany Lily NIRHANS, servant, born Mar 1880, age 20, single, born in OH, parents born in Germany, Housekeeper During the 1910 census the couple was still living in Cincinnati with records indicating the following: Samuel HIRSCH, age 49, married 15 years, born in OH, parents born in Germany, Cigar Manufacturing Carrie HIRSCH, wife, age 44, married 15 years, no children, born in OH, parents born in Germany Adolph HIRSCH, brother, age 47, single, born in OH, parents born in Germany, Cigar Manufacturing Theresa FLICK, servant, age 21, single, born in Germany, parents born in Germany, to USA in 1906 I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old document can be returned to the care of family.
