We are looking for information on the burial location and/or exact death of Christina
Breno Zenz. She was married to Jacob Zenz in Defiance County, Ohio and had the following
children by him (from St. Stephen's and Sacred Heart Church records): Peter, born
1873, died 1874; Peter Joseph born March 23, 1875 died April 15, 1942; Catherine Theresa
(Katie), born January 29, 1877; John Zenz, born December 27, 1878; and Frank Zenz born
December 19, 1880.
Jacob remarries in 1881, so we know Christina died sometime between December 1880 and
1881. We know most of the children were born in Henry County and baptized at Sacred Heart
Church. We could not find a marker for her at Sacred Heart, nor an entry for a
funeral/burial for her at Sacred Heart.
The Zenz name is also spelled Sens on the older markers in the old St. Stephen's
Cemetery in Defiance County. Baby Peter who died as an infant is listed on the marker as
Sens.
Any help or hints are appreciated!
