Surname: Strasser, Bischoff, Schoenlaub, Peetz
-------------------------


This family had a long history from 1851 into the
mid-1900s n Evansville. Xavier and Anna Maria May
Strasser came from Wuerttemburg with their large family in 1846,going first
to Cincinnati then to
Evansville where Xavier died in 1869 and Anna Maria
died in 1888. I have their wills. Appollonia b 1836
married Emil Schoenlaub in 1853. He died 36 years
later on their anniversary. Herman born 1838 married Barbara Euler in 1866.
Franziska b 183? married Emil
Bischoff. Josephina born 1833 married Charles Peetz July 11, 1855 Evansville.
For a while they lived at St. Louis in 1860. Paul b 1840 married Martha
Jane Palmer there May 4, 1864 while he was a gunboat pilot in the Civil
War for the Union in the 11th Mississippi Squadron. Sophie born 183? and
Philip Horwitz were married in St. Louis December 1860. Jacob born 1831
married Philomena Sachs in 1851 in Jefferson Co. Mo.
He was naturalized in Evansville in 1853, as was Xavier.
Does anyone have other information on this family?
Does anyone know the cemetery in Chicago where Appollonia was buried on
May 4, 1917? She died at son
Alexander S. Schoenlaub's home and Josephine Damm
her daughter took her to Chicago for burial. Alex
worked for the L&N railroad in the shop at Evansville.
Is there a marriage record for Josephine?

James Eddington, a railroad engineer and Lillie Strasser were married and
lived at New Albany IN ca 1910. Lillie fell in a theater and suffered the
amputation of a leg. An infant survived her for 5 months, then expired.
Hattie her sister lived with them for a while, later
married Theodore A. Hansen who was born in Warrick Co.
to William and Louise Hansen. Louise died, William remarried and the children
were raised by Nora Hansen
Schwartz, the oldest child. She is buried in the
Old Lutheran Cemetery.
Theodore was christened in the Lutheran Church.
Does anyone known when James Eddington died or if
any of his and Lillie's children grew to maturity?
I am looking for Strasser family I never knew except
on paper.
