Tombstone Tuesday - Margaret Tanreuther (1830-1874)

Margaret Montebaugh Tanreuther, wife of Frederick Tanreuther, born in Maryland in March 1830 and died in Farmersville, Montgomery County, Ohio June 4th, 1874.  No cause of death was given on her death record.  She was Frederick's first wife and the mother to 11 of his children - John W., Mary C., Sarah E., Charles, Rebecca*, Ellen, Catherine, Anna E., Emma, Franklin and Anna M.

Margaret and Frederick were married Feb 18, 1851 in Hagarstown, Washington County, Maryland. Margaret & Frederick are my GGG grandparents. They are both buried in the Farmersville Cemetery, Farmersville, Montgomery County, Ohio. 

The names of Margaret's parents are unknown to the compiler as of this writing. I do believe her mother's name was Sarah however, there is much to be proven at this point.

After Margaret's death Frederick marries Susan Bailey and together they have an additional 10 children.  If you have ties to the Tanreuther family I'd love to hear from you.  You can contact me by either leaving a comment below or by emailing me at karenatmiprofgeniedotcom. 

Happy Researching!

Treasure Chest Thursday

Alot of my "treasures" are photo's. Primarily because my side of the family didn't keep anything. We weren't the keepers of the goods. So when I started my research I had to literally start from scratch as far as locating photo's of my ancestors.

The photograph today is a real treasure it is the only photo I have & the only one I have ever seen of my great great great grandfather, Frederick Tanreuther.

Frederick was born in Bavaria on the 26th of June 1826, the oldest of three children born to Abraham Tanreuther & his wife, Barbara Zimmerman. Fred was married twice, first to my ggg grandmother, Margaret Montebaugh who predeceased him in 1874. Second he married Susan Bailey who was much younger and outlived him by 40+ years.

Fred & Margaret were the parents of ten children, John, Mary, Sarah, Charles, Rebecca, Ellen, Catherine, Emma, Anna & Franklin. Of those Rebecca was my ancestor. His children with Susan Bailey were: George, William, Eliza, Matilda, Albert, Leonard, Lydia, Iva, Nora & Gertrude.

Frederick died 20 MAR 1907 and is buried in the Farmersville Cemetery, Farmersville, Montgomery County, Ohio.

Happy Researching!
