Emma Koeser (-2G)
The (-2G), etc. after the names indicates the number of generations before Erven Thoma. Her S. S. # was 499-32-7336 which was issued in Missouri. She was married before or afterwards to Edward Henne and Dorthy had a half sister named Ruth Fuhler. Two siblings of Emma were born earlier: Annie was born in Apr. 1880 in Germany. Ernst was born in Jan. 1886 in Missouri. -----------------------
The St. Louis Directory of 1890 shows Emma's father, a carpenter, living at 2137 Victor St. The 1900 Census for Missouri (T623_894, supv. dist. 11, enum. dist. 189, stamped page #284A, hand-entered page #7A, lines 20-24, dated 12 June, dwelling 81, family 131) shows Peter Koeser and family living in a rented house at 2137 Victor St. in ward 12 of St. Louis. Peter is a 54-year old boss carpenter but has been unemployed 2 months. He was born in Jan. 1846 in Germany of German parents. He immigrated in 1882, is naturalized and has been in the U. S. for 18 years. His wife is Annie, a 50-year old German woman, born in Dec. 1849, whose parents were also born in Germany. She immigrated in 1883 and has been in the U. S. for 16 years. Peter and Annie can read and write English but not speak it. Their oldest child (19), Anna, was born in Apr. 1880 in Germany, immigrated in 1883 (probably with her mother) and has been in the U. S. for 16 years. She is a servant girl but has been unemployed for 1 month. The son, Ernst (14), was born in Jan. 1886 in Missouri. He is a water-boy but has been unemployed for 4 months. Neither Anna or Ernst attended school in the last year. Daughter Emma (11) was born in Nov. 1888 in Missouri. She has been in school for 9 months. The three children read, write and speak English. Emma's father died ca 23 Jan. 1907 in St. Louis. His obituary appears on 24 Jan. in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I have not found the 1910 Census for this family.
They had a daughter, Dorothy Virginia Henne (-1G), born on 13 May, 1911 in St. Louis. Edward died on 17 Apr. 1913 at their home, 3100 Osceola St. in St. Louis in the 13th ward. His death certificate (file #14972) states he was born on 03 Sep. 1885 in St. Louis of parents Theo. Henne and Emma Jarvis (or Javis), both also born in St. Louis. Edward's age at death was 27 years, 5 months, 15 days. The informant was Emma, his wife. The undertaker was Ziegenhein Bros., 2628 Cherokee in St. Louis. Burial was on 19 Apr. in St. Paul Cemetery.
George was the son of Theodore and Margaret Fuhler. George had four siblings: Mary, Theodore, Joseph, and Elizabeth. In St. Louis there is record of an Elizabeth Garst who married a George Fuhler in Oct. 1909. They had a daughter also named Elizabeth (-1G) born on 12 Jul. 1910 in St. Louis. This Elizabeth Garst Fuhler (-2G) died on 14 Aug. 1910 at the age of 23. Her death certificate is file #25604 in the MO Archives. Indeed her husband was Geo. Fuhler, and her married name was Fuhler. Elizabeth's parents were George Garst and Theresia Fuhrmann. Elizabeth and George Fuhler lived at 4220a Chippewa in St. Louis. She was buried in Sts. Peter and Paul Cemetery on the 17th. The daughter Elizabeth died at the age of 2 years, 3 months, 5 days on 17 Oct. 1912. They were living at 4210a Chippewa at the time. This daughter was also buried in Sts. Peter and Paul Cemetery (death cert. #34611). Emma and George had only one child, Ruth Fuhler (-1G), born 26 Jun. 1915. I have not found the 1920 Census for this family. The 1930 Census for Missouri (supv. dist. 9, enum. dist. 96-475, sheet 21A, printed page #77, dwelling #409, family #459, lines 19-22, dated 20 Apr.) shows her family living at 4220 Chippewa St. in ward 13, block 5626 of St. Louis.

Emma and her husband George appear in the 1944 and 1946 St. Louis Directories but in the 1947 Directory, Emma (-2G), is marked as the widow of George J. Fuhler (-2G). Emma is found in the Social Security Death Index; #499-32-7336 was issued to her before 1951 in Missouri. The application gives her birth date.
