Reimer Lorenz- Germany, WI & Iowa
I am seeking information on my second great grandfather Riemer Reimers Lorenz.
He was born in Nov. 1828 in Dahrenwurth, N Dirtmarsen, Germany. He married in Germany ? about 1850 to Anna Catharina Elisabeth Begien. She was born 21 Aug. 1820 in Brussels, Belg. They immigranted to USA in the late 1880's to WI. And then moved on to the Clinton, Iowa area.Reimer died in 1901 in Clinton, Iowa. and Ann died 15 Aug. 1908 also in Clinton, Iowa.
Their children:
1. Henry Lorenz born in Germany after 1850 died ?
2. Anna Lorenz born Germany after 1850 died ?
3. Claus Johann Reimer Lorenz AKA John Lorenz (My Line)
born 29 Oct. 1858 in Germany died 10 Oct 1923 in Pittsburgh, PA. He married a Marguerite Frances Liesch on 27 Oct. 1892 in Duluth, Minn. (Verbal family history is that she was his third wife.
But I have not been able to prove this information)
She was born 7 July 1874 in the Grand Dutchy of Lux. And she died 3 Jan. 1957 in Santa Monica, CA.
4. Reimer Reimers Lorenz Jr. born 1859 Germany died 1933 Clinton, IA.
5. William H. Lorenz born 1867 Germany died 1934 Clinton, Iowa. William married about 1888 to Mary Ehlers (1867 - 1947) they had Roy; Herbert; William H. Jr.; John H.; Fred and Mabel.
I have some more infromation on Claus Johann Reimer Lorenz AKA John Lorenz. I am willing to share what I have on him.
Thank you in advance.
