2409 S. Vine Urbana, Illinois 61801 - Richard R. Grayson, MD

Husband: Fi-iedrich August Lorenz
Divorced before October 18, 1842.
Child 1: Henriette Wilhelmine Seelemann [205]
Born October 18, 1842, after the divorce.
Generation 4 Henriette Wilhelmine Seelemann [205]
Born October 18, 1842, in Grafenhainichen, Germany. The birth is recorded in the church book in the
church in Grafenhainichen as an out-of-wedlock birth, because the parents were divorced before the birth.
We don't know whether the father listed really is the father.
The name Seelemann is occasionally spelled as Seelmann.
Dan [I301 has a picture from Emilie [I281 of a young man in a military uniform. The name penciled on the
back is Wilhelm Zander. A similar picture of a young woman is labeled "my mother's sister and brother",
presumably by Emilie. Assuming the pictures go together, the young man is probably F'riedrich Wilhelm
Zander, and the woman could be Henriette Mathilde Zander. Both pictures come from photography studios
in Leipzig, and would have been taken about 1900. Leipzig is a big city only 25 miles south of Raguhn and
Grafenhainichen, so family members could have easily travelled there.

Generation 5 Emilie Henriette Seelemann [206]
Born June 6, 1865, in Grafenhainichen, Germany. Baptised June 19. Emigrated to the US from Germany
at age 12, with her supposed father, William Reichenbach, who had previously been in America. They
settled in Fort Dodge, Iowa, for a year, and then in Boone, where she attended the German Lutheran church
school. Confirmed March 21, 1880, at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Boone, Iowa.
The birth record in the old church book in the church office in Grafenahinichen shows that she had
no father, but the family has been told in the obituary, for example, that her father was named William
Reichenbach. She lists Reichenbach as her maiden name on her marriage certificate, I'm told. Donald Kinne
remembers his grandfather Henry Kinne telling him that her maiden name was Zander; her mother married
Carl Louis Wilhelm Zander a year after she was born.
Her "father" left her before she was married, and went off to live in Carroll, Iowa, and never came
back. Her mother never came over from Germany, and we don't know why. The children Henry and Emilie
remember while they were living at home, a black-bordered letter arrived from Germany for her. They
