At St. John's Cemetery in Queens the Heilmann sisters are buried. Regina Heilmann Orf married to Joseph Orf, Elizabeth Heilmann Gehrsitz married to Michael Gehrsitz, Lena Heilmann Foohs married to John Foohs, and Mary Heilmann Herbrand married to Frederick Herbrand. All from Germany, the woman out lived there husbands by 20 years at least. In 1930 Elizabeth and mary were living together in Rockville Centre, NY. Regina was with her daughter in Brooklyn and I have yet to find Lena. The girls were born in the 1850's -early 1860's and lived long lives 99 years for Elizabeth. The girls had 3 brothers that I know of:Peter, John and Herbert and one other sister Theresa. If you recognize this family please let me know.
