Caroline Buschow was born in 1824 (1891 age 67) in Prussia. She married Carl Weinkauf about 1845. They had eleven children; Auguste Wilhelmine, wife of Friedrich Wilhelm Magnus; Caroline Wilhelmine; Anna Auguste, wife of Ferdinand Kluth; Caroline Emilie; Louise Henriette; Emilie Bertha. wife of Friedrich Wilhelm Strelau; Eva Rosine, wife of Hermann Emil Werner; Charlotte Henriette; Elisabeth Louise; Carl; and Ernestine Henriette Weinkauf between 1846 and 1865 in Vandsburg Lutheran Parish. Caroline Wilhelmine, Caroline Emilie, Louise Henriette, Elisabeth Louise, Carl, and Ernestine Henriette died at very young ages, leaving the four others to reach maturity.

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.
