Death date: 5 Jun 1881 Place of death: Hunting Accident Marriage date: Marriage place: Spouse's name: Documentation: This family belonged to St. John's Lutheran Church near Homestead. The church may have been started by a man named Doescher, a Missouri Synod Lutheran Missionary in 1860. The Church, I believe is at 1928 V Ave, Homestead today. Johann Heinrich (Henry B.) FOLKMANN lived just south of South Amana and is buried in St. Paul's Lutheran cemetery, Williamsburg. Many in this family are buried in one of the Lutheran cemeteries near Homestead. Much of the info in this sheet needs verification and I would appreciate any suggestions for further assistance. Thanks, Len and Dorothy McGrandle (nee FOLKMANN).
