Surname: Hauer

My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Hauer. Her great-grandfather was:

• Theodor Hauer, probably born between 1800-1817. His name was given in his son's marriage record, but his wife's name was not. I don't believe Theodor ever came to the U.S., and I know nothing more about him except that he was my third great-grandfather.
• Joseph H. Hauer, born about April 1837, probably in Holland or Luxembourg. He came to the U.S. as a young unmarried man. After serving during the Civil War, he married Theresa Wolfschlager on 29 March 1864 in Center Line, Michigan. They had six children. Joseph died on 6 June 1893 at age 56 and was buried at Mount Elliott Cemetery in Detroit four days later. Joseph was my great-great-grandfather.
• Felix J. Hauer, born 5 January 1867 in Detroit, Michigan. He married Elizabeth Louise Schulte on 21 June 1893 in Detroit, where they made their home for the few years they had together before his death at age 30 on 19 May 1897. He too was buried at Mount Elliott Cemetery. Felix was my great-grandfather.
• Evelyn Elvina Hauer, born 1 April 1894 in Detroit. She married Rosmer Pettis Kerr on 12 June 1916. She died in Warren, Michigan on 19 December 1988 at the age of 94.
