Julius Lindemann Birth of Catherine Furst Katharina Fürst, daughter of Johann Fürst and Klara Ogleich was born November 4, 1827 in Achaffenburg (Stadt und Stiftsarchiv Aschaffenburg, July, 2007) Notes:
Immigration Based on information taken from her death certificate, Catherine First immigrated to the United States circa 1847. Note: Death certificates are not very reliable sources for this type of information. In general, Germans emigrated to find adventure and greater prosperity. However, some immigrated for economic and political reasons. Although the Irish Potato Famine is well know, the crop actually failed all over Europe creating hardship and economic problems in the Lowland countries and in Germany. In the mid 1840's a great parallel stream of immigrants from Ireland and Germany arrived on America's shores. Bavaria had become very dependent on the potato and was particularly hard hit by the famine. Whole village from Bavaria, most of them traveling by carts, went overland to La Havre, Amsterdam, Hamburg, or Bremen and set sail for America. However, since Catherine and her brother Ludwig (who immigrated around the same time) were born in a city and not in the countryside it can be assumed that they might have fallen into the category of those who immigrated looking for adventure. Ships brought bulky good, like tobacco and cotton, eastward to Europe and returned to America with a cargo of steerage immigrants. I have checked the immigration records prior to 1846 and could not find the immigration of Catherine Furst. I also looked through the passenger manifests for the year 1847 (with the exception of roll 71 which is missing from the NARA ship manifest microfilms). Catherine did not immigrated through New York City in 1847 under the name Furst (Variations in spelling included). There were not many Fursts on the passenger manifests. I also checked the Castle Garden site at www.castlegarden.org and did not find any listing for either Catherine or her brother, Ludwig (Louis). However, it should be noted that I also did not find the immigration of Peter Goehle on this web site and I have his immigration record though Castle Gardens in 1873. It is quite possible that Catherine immigrated later than indicated on her death record and that she immigrated with her first husband, _____ Schwarzmeier. However, I also did not find any appropriate immigrations under Schwarzmeier (and variations of spelling) There are no listing in Germans from Bremmer 1847 to 1862 for Schwartzmeier (any spelling) or for Catherine Furst or any other appropriate Fursts.
Early Records for Catherine I have not been able to find any information on Catherine Furst Schwarzmeier Lindemann in the United States before her marriage to Julius Lindemann in 1863. The record of her marriage to Julius listed her as Catherine Schwarzmeier, nee Frust. I assume she was widowed as divorce was unheard of in her class at the time. There was no listing in the 1850 federal census for Catherine under either Furst or Schwarzmeier. Catherine Furst would have been about 19 years old at the time of this census. Catherine's only known relative, Louis Furst, was not listed in New York in the 1850 census. I could not find Catherine in the 1860 census under either Furst or Schwarzmeier. She would have been 29 years old at the time of this census. Her only known relative, Louis Furst, was listed in the 1860 census (see below).
First Marriage Catherine was listed at the time of her marriage to Julius Lindemann as Catherine Schwarzmeier, nee Furst. I have not found any record of the marriage of Catherine Furst to Mr. Schwarzmeier. There is no marriage for any Schwartzmeier (any spelling) listed between 1853 and 1861 in the New York City Archives. I have not found a record for any children born to Catherine Furst and Mr Schwarzmeier. I know very little about Catherine's first husband. I am not even sure of his first name. For more information on the Schwarzmeiers in New York City see Schwarzmeier
Children of First Marriage I believe that Wilhelmine (Minnie) born circa 1860/63 was a child of the first marriage. See Minnie Goehle
Death of First Husband The death records in New York City from 1858 to 1863 list only one person with a name that started Schwarzm..... during this period. Michael Schwarzemaior, age 31, 4 months and 8 days, born in Germany, address 604 4th Street died on May 21, 1862. Cause of death euthentis(?). He was buried in the Lutheran cemetery. In reply to my request of August 22, 2001 on the burial information of Michael Schwarzemaior the Lutheran Cemetery wrote: "The information we have regarding Michael Schwarzemanier 31 years old. Address not given to us. Location Public 1E Map 2, Row 2 Grave 33. The only burial in this lot."Note: Death reports were common but not required in NYC before 1890. Consequently, I cannot be sure if Michael Schwarzmeier was the first husband of Catherine Furst. However, there are almost no Schwarzmeiers in the records and his age, nationality, and time of death are appropriate for him to have been Catherine's first husband.
Marriage of Catherine Furst and Julius Lindemann Catherine's second husband, Julius Lindemann, was born in Bettmar in the Duchy of Brunswick (Braunschweig) Germany in 1820. He immigrated to the United Sates in 1847. After the death of his first wife, he married Catherine Furst. Catherine and Julius were married in April 1863. Julius Lindemann, widow, born November 2, 1820, Bettmar, Braunschweig, married Catherine Schwarzmeier, nee Furst, born November 4, 1831 in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, address 133 Avenue A, on April 28, 1863, witnesses, Carl Nethel (no address) and L.T.L. Furst, 27 Christie Street, in the Rivington German Presbyterian Church. I did not find the marriage recorded in the civil records. See Julius Lindemann Children According to church records in NYC, Catherine and Julius had two daughters:
For details of the marriage, baptisms of the children and general information about Julius see, Julius Lindemann For more information on Catherine Lindmann junior, see Catherine Lindemann Beyerkohler Van Loo A Second Widowhood Julius Lindemann died on October 2, 1867 leaving Catherine, age 36, a widow for the second time. She raised her two daughters by supporting herself and them as a seamstress.
8th Street and Avenue C At the time of Julius's death in 1867, the Lindemanns were living at 366 8th Street. Today this is the only old building standing on this block of 8th Street. To see a photo or the building, go to Kleindeutchland now or go to the bottom of the page. For more details on Julius's death, see Julius Lindemann now or go to the bottom of the page. Part of this block of 8th Street was excavated by the South Street Seaport Museum. Some artifacts and historical information on the neighborhood is displayed in the windows of the police station on the corner of 8th and Avenue C (November 2002). Part of the research on the site focuses on the home of Joseph Sonnek and his family who lived across the street from the Lindemanns. Joseph Sonnek was a tailor from Dresden who bought his house in 1864. The house was a multi-family dwelling. Elias Howe invention of the sewing machine in 1846 changed the nature of the tailoring business. Rather than making a whole suit of clothes many "tailors" sewed together "pieces" that were mass cut. The south Street Seaport Museum says that Joseph Sonnek and his wife and children probably did "piecework". It can be assumed that the Lindemanns did the same. Other information provided by the south Street Seaport, says that the children living in the Sonnek house went to to the local public elementary school on 9th Street. Minnie and Catherine Lindemann probably went to the same school.
Catherine Lindemann in the New York City Directories Catherine was listed for several years in the New York City Directories:
Catherine Lindemann 1870 Federal Census Catherine and her two daughters were listed in the 1870 federal census taken on July 2, 1870 in the 4th (9 th ?) district, ward 11, in New York City as follows:
Multiple stabs at trying to find this listing on Ancestry.com did not yield any results. I found this listing the old fashion way several years ago. Catherine Lindemann in 1880 Census The 1880 census lists the family of Kate Lindemann at 518 Sixth Avenue in NYC as follows:
Notes:
There were 17 families listed at this address. All were German or German Americans save one French couple. The occupations of the residence of 518 6th Ave. included: 7 cigar makers (both male and female), 3 shoe makers, a barber, a house painter, and a cigar box maker. The building is still standing today. It is five stories tall and has four larger windows plus a small window (in the middle of each story) on every floor except the ground floor, which has a store front. To see an image of this building go to Kleindeutchland now or at the bottom of the page.

Harbauer was Peter's mother's maiden name. Conrad Doench was a minister at the Second German Presbyterian Church at 435 Houston Street. Today, there are high rise apartments at 64 Pitt Street. According to German Churches of Metropolitan New York: A Research Guide 2001 by Richard Haberstroh the records for this church are available at the Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia, Pa. I have not yet accessed these records. At the time of the marriage, Peter was a widower of three months with 5 or 6 children.

Death of Catherine Lindemann According to State of New York Certificate of Death for 1892 # 6420 City of New York, Catherine Linterman died on February 19, 1892 at age 62 of edema of the lungs, contributing cause of death, Bright's decease, residence, 88 Sheriff Street, buried in the Lutheran Cemetery, February 21, 1892, age 62, widowed, birthplace, Germany, how long in U.

This grave would later also hold her daughter, Minnie Lindemann Goehle, and her son-in-law, Peter Goehle. This grave is unmarked.
Beyerkohler in the 1900 census I could not find a listing for Carl, Charles, Karl, Catherine, Katherine, or Kate Beyerkohler in the 1900 census in New York. Beyerkohler is a very unusual name. There are only three Beyerkohlers listed in the social security death index and only one listed on www.switchboard.com. , L. Beyerkohler, 3211 Gardens East Drive, West Palm Beach, Fla. 33110-4909.
The Fürsts, Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, Germany In July 2007 we visited the Stadt Archiv of the City of Aschaffenburg. The only infomation they had on the Fürst family came from a Civil Registry - the church records are not available. There was only one family of Fursts in Aschaffenburg in the early 1800s - the family of Johann and Klara Furst. Johann was born in Karlsburg - exact location unknown. Klara's surname is uncertain. There were some later records in Aschaffenburg relating to children who were born in the 1858 (all females) whose father is not known. There were no Fursts in the 2007 phone book in Aschaffenburg. All of the graves in the Aschaffenburg cemetery were relatively new so there was no possibility of finding records from that source. Notes:
Johann Furst and Klara Ogleich(?) Fürst, Johann, assistant court clerk, Catholic, born 1800 (no day or month) Carlsburg (Karlsburg). Wife: Ogleich(?), Klara born 24 June 1801 born Aschaffanburg. Note: The first letter of Klara's surname is in question. The people in the State Archives in Aschaffenburg did not know what the letter was meant to be. No name with the spelling "Ogleich" could be found on Ancestry.com or in the LDS files. Marriage: The marriage record is not available. Based on the dates of birth for Johann and Klara and the birth of Adam in 1823 a marriage date of 1822 can be speculated. Children: The names and dates of birth of the children were taken from the Civil Registry.
Listed by Ancestry.com with the spelling "Fierst". I found it at NARA under Furst. The 1890 federal census burned.
