Notes
Arrival
The New York Passenger List also shows a Johann Hoffman, 19, a farmer, arriving on the same ship. I have no idea if he was a relative or if she even knew him. She worked for a wealthy family as a cook.Residence (family)
Charles was a railroad conductor.Residence (family)
Charles was a silversmith in a factory.Residence (family)
Charles, Lena, Ethel-16, Charles-14, George-12, Christian-11, Alice-9, Anna-4, Helen-4, William-3, and Gertrude-2 lived at home.Residence (family)
Charles was an inspector for No Biscuit Co. There were eight children living at home at that time. The first set of twins, Charles and Donald, were missing from this census. Charles had married and moved to New Jersey, but Donald is not to be found. I suspect he died in infancy.Residence (family)
Charles was a jeweler at a department store. The twins, Anna and Helen-19, Gertrude-17, and William-18, still lived at home.Endnotes
