Notes:

From the History of Cooper County, Missouri and entry for Peter John Schler. it states that Charles and Mary had six children, three of whom died early. Their living children was Sophie, Charles, and Henry. Charles Schierholtz was born in 1823 and died 27 Jul 1891; while Mary was born 24 Jan 1838. There were both born in Kreis Melle, Hanover, Germany and came to the US in 1845. Coming to Boonville, Charles opened a brickyard in Boonville and later bought a farm south of Boonville in 1876. To me this implies that Charles and Mary were not married before coming to the US.

Family/Spouse: Holtgreve, Mary Marie. Mary was born on 18 Jun 1838 in Mellé, Osnabruck, Niedersachsen, Germany; died on 8 May 1930 in Boonville Township, Cooper, Missouri, USA; was buried on 11 May 1930 in St John United Church of Christ Cemetery, Billingsville, Cooper, Missouri, USA.
