If anyone knows of Carl Suhr who lived in Chicago I would love background info on his family. He had one son, Robert. I had an uncle Ben Suhr married to Patsy and they had a daughter, Dorthey. Robert was my adoptive father, but I don't know much about his background except he graduated with honors from Northwestern University in Evanston, Il. Thank you!

Searching for Catherina Suhr in San Francisco CA USA

grdunavan — 2008-12-04 05:08:29Z

I find her in the Census of San Francisco living with son in law, Charles Moeller in 1910, 1920, 1930.
Daughter Ella is wife of Charles.
a daughter Cecilia/Celia is living there also in 1910 and 1920.
Caharina is listed in Census as being born in Germany.
Here California Death Lists Catharina Suhr and Catharina Meclenberg so possibly this is her maiden name.
Birth is listed as 16 Oct. 1860 with Death as 4 Mar 1940 in the California death index.
any help on the Suhr or Moeller and Mecklenberg family would be appreciated.

I don't know if my Joachim Suhr matches yours or not. Joachim was born 1833, immigrated to Cat Spring Texas through Galveston around 1852. He was from Mecklenberg Germany, I have no info on parents or siblings, just spouse and children. He was my husband's great great grandfather. Let me know if this info could help.

Hello -

Paul & John are my 1st cousins and I just started researching our family tree. Henrich "Henry" is also my great-great grandfather. I have actually been getting some info from Sandra who posted this original message. Henry is also her great-great grandfather. I would appreciate any info you have on Henry. I know he lived in Webster, NY but I do not know if he was born here or came from Germany...for some reason my dad thought our family came from the town of Suhr in Switzerland? Any help would be great...if you already gave the info to Johnny or Paul, I can try to get it from them.

Thanks,
Gerald Suhr

Hello,

I am researching the Suhr family for 2 friends of mine - Paul and John Suhr, both from Lyndonville. Henry is their great great grandfather as well and they are most interested in anything you might have and how you are related. I have done quite a bit of research on this family and would be happy to share.

Gloria: Just finished reading your thread with Eric about the photo album of the Suhrs in Pennsylvania. My grandfather was Frederick W. Suhr, b 1886. He had a sisters Mary and Edna, brother Oliver. His father's name was Charles F. Suhr, b 1856 in Delmar (Wellsboro). That is the extent of my history of the Suhr family. Don't know where Charles came from or who his parents were. Could he have been related to your Suhrs? Grandfather said they came from Berne,Switzerland, but I wasn't smart enough to get any details. "Too late we get too smart". Would like to hear from you. Do you live around Wellsboro? I remember the town very well from childhood and later visits. Glenda Webster

John Suhr, 51, DEU>Chicago, IL, d. 5 Dec. 1892

djahern — 2007-02-18 17:36:10Z

From The Chicago Tribune 6 December 1892 -

John Suhr, a German carpenter, 51 years of age, who boarded at the house of Mrs. Dora Ahern, No. 614 North Leavitt street, committed suicide by shooting himself yesterday morning. The police being notified they broke down the door of his room and found Suhr lying on the floor with a revolver by his side. Deputy Coroner Corbett got the case for his first inquest and discovered the man was despondent over the death last August of his son. He had also been sick for three or four days.

Re: Michael Suhr

2006-10-17 05:07:36Z

Michael,
So good to hear from you.....apparently, we are cousins.
My grandmother, Clara (Ramm) married Emil Hackbarth....she was the oldest of 11 children born to Edward and Ausgusta Ramm. My memory of Augusta is sort of vauge..l remember going with my grandmother to visit 'Gustie'....she was blind and in a nursing home. I was about 3 or 4. My grandmother said, "This is Clarence's daughter"....and Gustie gently put her hands on my face in an effort to feel what I looked like. I also remember going to great grandpa, Edward's house with my grandmother...she took homemake soup in a metal bucket. In the kitchen was a large black and chrome, wood burning stove. The living room furniture was all upholstered in black horses hair fabric...(used in that time)...it was not comfortable to sit on.
I will be most happy to charge whatever data I have. I also have an Ancestry pamphlet with all the Abraham family and their descendants as of 1930...on the front is a picture of Carl David and Caroline Renata (Ebert) Abraham. This pamphlet has all 7 children of Carl and Caroline....which I can scan and send you. Augusta's parents were Ferdinand Rudolph and Hermina Abraham. I only have a few pictures of the family...taken about 1940 during a birthday celebration at Martha Eblinlien's house...Martha was also my grandmother's sister. It will be easier to exchange data if you contact me directly.....
jmcooke@theriver.com
I was born in 1929, daughter of Clarence and Nellie (Gibbs) Hackbarth. I have lived in Tucson, Az. since 1988...was widowed in 1991.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Joan

Heinrich Wilhelm Suhr

judy_vanvleet — 2005-09-25 20:54:24Z

Heinrich Wilhelm Suhr was my great-great-grandfather. He was born in Segelhorst and came to the US and Iowa in about 1869 with his wife and 4 children. It appears that he was the only one of his siblings who came to the US but he apparently had nieces and nephews who came to Iowa later. Would love to correpond with anyone related to this family. Does anyone know why he was the only one to come to the US when he was the oldest son? Did the others end up in Iowa because he was there? Thanks.

Recently while cleaning out my mother -in-laws basement. I came upon a box of old pictures, news paper articals, obits, church programs, etc. Which she had purchased at an auction here in PA.

The items do not seem to be linked together. But items from separte familys, that ended up in the same box.

One of the items was a old Church Program from
The First Presbyterian Church
Warren, Ohio
Founded 1803

Dateed Sunday June 22, 1947

On the back, at the very bottom it reads;

The Sympathy of our church is extended to Mrs. J. C. Henshaw in the loss of her brother, Mr. Carl F. Suhr of Youngstown, (Ohio) on June 17th.

Just came across your posting of Suhr family pictures. If you are still in possession of the photos, I would be interested in obtaining them (or copies). My great-grandmother was Nettie Suhr, daughter of William and Emogene Harding Suhr and grandaughter of John and Mary Sticklin Suhr. Nettie died of pneumonia from complications from influenza in 1919 in Wellsboro. Sometime afterwards, her other son Charlie died. My grandfather had only one picture of Charlie and a couple of his mother. Nettie's aunts and uncles were Mary, John, Emma, Charles, Louise, and Anna. Other names to the pictures might be Nettie's siblings: Eva, Jess F., harry, Midlred, William B., Herman, and Robert.
