Willard library does have Holy Trinity records, I don't know how complete
they are though. My g grandfather was Jacob Zuber (1832-1911-from
Otterstahl, Alsace, France about 1850); he had two wives-Christiane Bangert
and Hannah Gutekunst (Goodart) Anthis. Hannah is my g-grandmother.
Christiane was the d/o Johann Adam Gangert and Maria Elizabeth Jaeger and
was born in Hesse, Germany. Christiane had a sister-Anna Barbara-- who
married a A. Charles "Karl" Hermann (1829-1894), son of Sebastian and Maria
Ruchel Hermann. Anna Barbara and Christiane had a double wedding on Jul 2,
1857 at Holy Trinity. There was supposedly a picture made of the two
couples which I would love to find, if it exists. I don't think it is
with the Zuber side of the family. The Hermanns are from Baden Germany.
The Bangerts, Zubers, and Hermanns were Catholic and are buried at St.
Joseph Cem, in Evansville. St. Joseph also has records of their burials
and are helpful. You can google their phone number. Some of the
surnames connected with Anna Barbara's children are Wolf, Pico, Kuebler.
The Hermann name has also been spelled different ways. To further muddy
the waters, my g-grandfather, Jacob Zuber, had a sister-Maria/Mary Ursula
Zuber (1830-1907) who first married a Ludwig/Louis Fischer and had children
by him and then md a Heinrich/Henry Hermann (1832-1887). Henry was b. in
Baden, and I cannot connect him with Karl Hermann. But my Hermanns do
not connect with the candy Hermanns-to my knowledge right now.
It appears my lines when they first arrived in Eville did attend
Holy Trinity, which was a German Catholic church. They later went to the
St. Boniface Catholic Church on the west side. Also during this time
frame there were two Mary Hermanns who died in Eville-one lived in
Dyersburg, TN, with a daughter-she was buried at St. Joe in Eville (this one
is mine).
Another Mary Hermann who died in Evansville in the Kasson area
on Aug 11, 1904, aged 76. From the Evasville health dept I have-- Mary
Herrmann, died Kasson, IN (NW of Evansville), housewife, date of birth
(5/6/1783 or 1883)-- this could also be the date of death. She was 76 yr,
3 mos, and 5 days. If death date, she would have been born Feb 1, 1807,
born in Germany, married, husband was J. M. Herrmann, father was Koph,
Schaefer & Son mortuary. . I also found this gal in 1900 in
Vanderburgh CO-- #56
John M. Herman Nov 1824 md 46 yr GER to US 1853
Anna M., wife May 1828 12ch/ 10 living GER to US 1846
The 1904 is not my Mary. I think we need to compare notes. I don't
know if this 1904 Mary connects with the candy Hermans or not. Helen
