Louis and Annie E. Heinzerling

Louis Heinzerling and Annie E. Heinzerling are buried at Oakland Cemetery. The inscription on the monument is in German.

ANNIE E. HEINZERLING
GESTORBEN
DEN 25 MAI 1874
ALTER
73 JAHRE

Louis Heinzerling was born in Hesse, Germany in May 1832, according to the 1900 U.S. Census. He came to the U.S.A. in 1854. In the 1871 Sandusky City Directory, Louis Heinzerling was employed at a dry goods store, Zollinger & Heinzerling, located at the southeast corner of Hancock and Madison Streets. This location was home to a great number of businesses in Sandusky through the years, including the Wholf Hardware store from the 1960's through the 1980's. Wholf Hardware store had wooden floors, and a variety of hardware and household items in a "no frills" style. Sandusky residents were sad to see it close.

Not much information is known at all about Annie E. Heinzerling, other than her date of death and her age at that time. It is safe to say that she probably also was born in Germany, and while we do not know if she was a spouse or sister to Louis, she was most definitely a family member.
