​Drowning death of their two children 16 and 18 years old. Children of Minnie Schrader/ Pieger. Alexander's grandchildren. At least Alex died in 1915 so he did not see the death. But Minnie saw the death of her father in 1915 the the death of 2 children in 1918.

Another interesting note. Minnie A. Schrader/ Pilger in the 1910 census said they lived at 133 Spaulding St. in Buffalo. We lived at 77 Spaulding in the early 1960s. According to Google maps 133 is no longer there more or less a parking lot. But they lived on the same block on the same side of the street.

Carol Gern's mother

​

Not a blood relative but relative through Lois Schrader/ Gern.

​

We all knew her as cousin Lois and Carl. Much more detail can be found about Carl but my basic understanding is he was a lifelong house painter here in Hamburg
