Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis



Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer


Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City. 

Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United  Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred. 

Friederich and Eleanor had six children:

    Christina     1869-1875
    Frederick    1871-1956
    Henry         1874- 1951
    Anna           1879 -1942
   Christian      1882 - 1962
    Minnie        1883 - 1957

I don't know where Friederich and Eleanor lived prior to 1879, but in her obituary in 1929, it stated that she had lived at 1725 South Keystone Ave. for 50 years. 

I don't know what Friederich did for a living, yet. The 1900 census is one of the best places to find that out, but he died before that census was taken. 

Friederich died on Nov. 11, 1893 of pneumonia and was buried at Crown Point Cemetery in Indianapolis on Nov. 13, 1893. 

In 1900, Eleanor was listed as the Head of Household at the Keystone House, which she owned with no mortgage. Christian, Anna, and Anna's husband William resided at the same address.

Eleanor died of Hypostatic Pneumonia on November 4, 1929. She was buried at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, likely next to her husband, but no marker exists for either Friederich or Eleanor.

Note - Eleanor's maiden name would have had an Umlaut (two dots) above the o in Kolling, but I haven't figured out how to do that in this editor. 



Friederich Rosemeyer b. 1844 > Frederick Rosemeyer b. 1871 > Frederick Carl Henry Rosemeyer > Anna Elnora Rosemeyer

Eleanor Kolling > Frederick Rosemeyer b. 1871 > Frederick Carl Henry Rosemeyer > Anna Elnora Rosemeyer

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.,  Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer,  My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Hazen Family Tree - Edward Hazen

 Edward Hazen - Immigrant, Patriarch of Hazens in the U.S.  Family connection - seventh great-grandfather of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.  Edward Hazen was born in Cadney, Lincolnshire, England on December 14, 1614. His father was Thomas Hassen (1580-1628). His mother was Elizabeth Mowry (1582-1630).  Edward immigrated to the town of Rowley, MA in 1647. The  town was established in 1639, so he was an early settler, but not an original one.  Edward married Elizabeth, surname unknown. She died on Sept. 18. 1649 and was buried in the Rowley Burial Ground. They had no children.  On Mar. 2, 1650, Edward married Hannah Grant, daughter of Thomas Grant and Jane Haburne. At least one source indicates that the Grant family immigrated to Rowley on the same ship as Edward.  Edward and Hannah had 11 children:          Elizabeth - b. 1651, Hannah - b. 1653, John - b. 1655, Thomas - b. 1657, Edward - b. 1660,         ...
