Please help with Charlotte’s birth family.

I believe Charoltte’s father immigrated in 1864 with his first wife, Scharlotte (nee Campe), and they had the following children, to whom Charlotte was a half sister:

 

Half Sister to: Elisabeth, Dorothea, Henry L. (Mary Schroeder), Charlotte, Sophie Elinore (Nicholas Ulferts), Johann Heinrich, Melosine Dorothea (William H. Schroeder) and Friedrich Heinrich (Emma M. Voight) Thiesfeld.

Scharlotte (Campe) Thiesfeld died April 15, 1875 and is buried in the Peotone Cemetery.

Dietrick married his second wife, Sophia Maria Schneeweis, on September 27, 1878.

Wilhelmina "Minnie" (Thiesfeld) Pauling and her husband Albert W. Pauling Jan. 16, 1902 Monee, IL
