In Response To: John H. Folkers (Ray Peterson)

I did not find exactly the same information you gave me.

I show John Henry Folkers married to Catherine Heiken (the 1879 History says Bornheinken-a mistake perhaps in typesetting).

1879 Jones Co History page 623
John H Folkers, Langworthy,
Wayne Tsp. farms on shares with Mr. Bingham of Monticello; Born in Germany in 1840; came to America and to Jones Co. in 1876. Wife's maiden name was Catharine Bornheinken, a native, also, of Germany; born in 1844; they were married in 1865; have had 5 children, four of whom are living - Henry, Garret, Margaret and Catharine. Mr. Folkers and his entire family are in the Lutheran Church.

Now I see marriages for more children than the 4 listed above. Margaret married Albert Weers, Anna Marie married Johann Albert Luebben. Catherine Folkers (80 born Ger.) is living with her sons, John H and Thomas in 1925.

Laurie Nadel, 226 Linwood Cres, Burlington, ONT L7L 4A1 (Canada) is working on the Folkers family.

Prairie Hill Cem.

Fred W Folkers 1887-1918 Private Co. 16 Died in Paignton, England

J H Folkers 1885-1964
Thomas H 1882-1961
Row 16
Eurbke Marie Folkers 1887-1940 wife of Gerd Folkers
F. Gerd Jansen Folkers 1871-1951

I cannot tell who is buried on which lot from our listing. However, the surname Siebels is beside them in both rows 11 and 10.
