Rudolph married Lietsch, Marie Magdalena in 1849 in Fredersdorf, Markisch-Oderland, Brandenburg, Germany. Marie was born on 13 Sep 1830 in Meyenburg, Prignitz, Brandenburg, Germany; died on 13 Sep 1878 in Burlington, Racine, Wisconsin, USA; was buried on 15 Sep 1878 in Burlington Cemetery, Burlington, Racine, Wisconsin, USA.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Housewife
• Alternate Birth: 15 Jun 1830, Meyenburg, Prignitz, Brandenburg, Germany
• Departure: 19 Jul 1856, Hamburg, Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany; Ship Harmonia to New York

Notes:

Death date is based upon a letter from Oliver R. Wald in which he states that he was eight years old when his mother died. In 1870 a Dora Lietsch age 17 is living in the household as a domestic servant. Also in the same household is William Lietsch age 50 and a carpenter. Finally along with Rudloph’s brother Charles is Dora Wald age 79 (born 1791) and born in Prussia. I suspect she is a sibling of Rudoph’s father.

Jacob married Eimerman, Margaret about 1846 in Schwabsburg, Mainz-Bingen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. Margaret was born about 1821 in Schwabsburg, Mainz-Bingen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany; died about 1888 in Burlington, Racine, Wisconsin, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
