Does anyone have any more info on Frederick Neuhofer who lived at least part
of his life in Pennsylvania? He was born in Germany in about 1842 and
married Alice Eckert in Danville, Pa, . Their daughter Caroline was born in
Danville in 1875. There was another daughter who is mentioned in her mother's
obituary as Mrs. C. Platt. (If anyone knows more about her, she's another brick
wall for me.) She shows up on a census as Lisy and was born in Cleveland about
1878. I have found a reference in FamilySearch for a Frederick/Frank Neuhofer
born to Frederick and Alice Neuhofer in Cleveland in 1878. The name is so
rare, I have to believe it is the same family. However no mention of this son
appears in the mother's obit, so I presume he died young. Perhaps little Fred
and Lisy were twins? I also presume Fred, Sr, died young (or they were
divorced) for Alice later married Ernst Clausing. Fred and Alice are in the 1880
Cuyahoga census as Newhofer, but that is the only mention I have seen. There is
an intriguing census entry for a Fred Newhoffer in Lorain in 1910, but there
is a 5 year difference in the ages with Fred, Sr. There is also a Florence
Kitsteiner mentioned in Alice's obit as a granddaughter. I do not believe this
is Carrie's child, so she probably belongs to Lisy. Florence was born in 1900
in Ohio and died in Miami in 1975. I believe her husband's name was William.
Can you help?
