Robert, In 1900, 1910, 1920 & 1930 Census's Benjamin Hinderman is living in Omro, Winnebago Co, WI (Division St) and has Photography Studio/Gallery listed as his occupation. This is all we know about the picture for sure. What we don't know if the Hinderman Studio operated out of Omro or Oshkosh or maybe both. We can speculate that maybe your Joseph & Caroline might have visited Omro for a family gathering such as a reunion, wedding, etc and decided upon getting a picture taken while there? Or maybe the family gathering was indeed in Oshkosh and the photographer traveled to them? We don't know when BH Hinderman started his studio but it was indeed in operation from 1900 - 1930. We don't have a census for 1890 available to narrow down that decade and the 1880 Census isn't pertainable as Benjamin H. Hinderman is only 9 yrs at this time. The only Michael Leu/Lue's I found in any early census readings were married to a Mary, Susan, and a Lucy. None of the census's show this family name in Knox Co, IL. It did appear regularily in IA and OH though.

They had 8 children. At her death ion 6 June 1923, she had the following surviving children: Mrs. Martha Buck, Mrs. Lydia MacDonald (my great grandmother), Mrs. Lewis Rothman, Mrs. Carl B. Harvey and Emmerson Lake.

Some photo companies (local or otherwise) had traveling photographers that would go out into the countryside and lesser populated areas like outlying farmsteads and such, to offer photograph sittings for a fee. They even travled with a lineup of clothing for familes that didn't have money for a nice set of "store bought" clothes. Just another possbility

to me, the photo places her/them in the oshkosh area... (consider up to 30 miles away by horse (a 2 hour distance) and one or two stations away by rail) which means churches, newspapers, obits, cemeteries, participation in local clubs and church groups.... narrowing down where they lived... in town or in country is important because it narrows the church... LAND records help in that.... mortgagor/ee records help to, because seldom do people buy land outright or are able to hold it year after year without some kind of mortgage to get tax money.... was there a city directory? check the public library, historical society for online stuff as well as their FOLDER collections that arent on line.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Pumfrey To: WIWINNEB-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 5:48 AM Subject: [WIWinneb] longshot request -- Joseph _______? and Barbara Ehrenfried Hello list, For several years I have made no progress on my gg-grandmother, Caroline Ehrenfred, wife of Michael Leu of Knox County, Illinois.

Robert, A little bit to go by....I found a B.H. Hinderman in the 1900 Census living in Omro Township, Winnebago Co, WI and he lists his occupation as Photographer. This gives you an approximate time as to when he ran his business giving the phota an approximate time frame too In the 1900 Census I found a Joseph Hohler who is 52 yrs old and is widowed and residing in the town of Oshkosh. He has a son living with him named Peter J., 14 yrs old. Joseph's parents were born in Germany. In 1870 I found these Joseph's with a search of those only in their 30's: 1. Joseph Burkhart aged 35 yrs born in Bavaria married to a Barbara aged 47 yrs born in Bavaria in the town of Neenah, Winnebago Co, WI 2. Joseph Calman aged 36 yrs born in NJ married to a Barbara aged 39 yrs born in Bavaria in Menasha Village, Winnebago Co, WI This gives a couple of names to work with anyway.

now i will admit that i have not read this entire post with the intention of sorting out all the dates... but i will say this... my first thought was that a child name unknown but 1Y1M was buried and then another child, a name likely the same but 1M1D.... the writer is assuming that they are the same child... i would NOT make that assumption... and between the census and the monument i would believe the monument... WHY you ask.... because the people PAID for a monument ( a rather large expense for many so early in the country) and the info would be more accurate.... or it would likely have been done AGAIN by the engraver... plus... and this is assuming that the kid's names were the same (writer did not say this but i assume it so) i would guess that the second child was the first child born after the death of that first baby who died... a tradition of old... if a girl child died, then the next girl child would be named the same... so there could be two marys on your charts for the same mother... ditto with the next boy being named after the boychild that previously died.... Attention is called to this often in the nicknames that the second child had... imagine.... you would not want to call your second mary by mary, constantly reminding yourself of the first would you? so a nickname is used... often all thru life, so if you see this instance, scout for a baby dying young.... re the census..... check on the date that was used as the base date for that year.... go here... http://rwguide.rootsweb.com/ click census and scroll to the very bottom.... (June 1 for 1830-1880 ) another thing is to revisit the stone and do what you have to do to read it better.... i would suggest shaving creame, squeegee it off over the engravings and take a photo.... rag off what is excess when you are done.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Loretta0422@cs.com To: WIWINNEB-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 9:30 PM Subject: [WIWinneb] tombstone death dates Hi--- I have a problem with a cemetery inscription. ---There is a man buried whose tombstone says that he died something like---Nov 11-1875--age 68 years--3 months--2 days.----next to him is his grandson whose stone says he died Feb-2-1861---age 1 year & 1 month-----NOW that baby should have been born Jan-1860 but he is not listed in the census taken in July-1860----I am wondering if it is likely that the stone is unreadable and it actually says---1 month & 1 day---Otherwise I believe his stone would say---1 year--1 month & 2 days --or whatever.----I would like some input in what others think---Thank you---Loretta ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
