Caroline appears as a widow in Cleveland, Ohio, living with her daughter, Eva Rosine Werner and her husband, Hermann Emil Werner in the 1886, 1888, and 1891 city directories at 136 Professor Alley, 138 Professor Alley, and 138 Thurman St., respectively. Hermann and Eva had immigrated in 1878.
This photo was taken at the Adolph Leopold Zeleny studio. On the back, it refers to Werner, and the address is 138 Thurman.
Caroline Weinkauf died of chronic bronchitis on 12 Feb 1891, at the home of her daughter, Eva Rosine Werner, at 138 Thurman, Cleveland, Ohio. She was the live-in grandmother to Eva’s five surviving children from at least 1886 until her death in 1891. She was buried in the Monroe Street Cemetery, 3207 Monroe Ave.
Her children's eleven birth records reveal various spelling of her maiden name: e.g. Buschow, Busche, Buscha, Buscho, Busch, and Buschka.
Over the years, my cousin, June Weik, inherited a large collection of sepia-toned and tin-type photographs of infants, children, young men and women, and adults, getting married or with their families, which I have now inherited. Several of Caroline’s children even lived in Cleveland, and most of the photos were taken in local studios. Since Caroline lived with her daughter and their family as a widow for almost ten years and passed away at their home, it is highly likely some of these old photographs could be Caroline’s children and grandchildren. Since my discovery of Eva’s mother and her eleven children, I am now trying to locate descendants of Caroline’s other children.
