Henry Bremmer

My name is Henry Bremmer.

I was born 27 Sept 1859, Hanover, Edelsdof, Germany.  I came the United States with my father George Bremmer and mother Catherine Bremmer (King/Koenig) when I was 9 years old.

I met and married Martha Rhoda Green, on 23 Nov 1878, Rock Rapids, Iowa.  To this union were born 4 children:  James Henry, Carl Jerry, Earl LeRoy, Elizabeth Bremmer.

I became a U.S. citizen on 23 Oct 1891, Council Bluffs, Iowa.  Martha and I divorce Jan 1902, in Iowa. It was a very bad divorce between us.  In 1905, I married Elizabeth Hecker and we had one child "stillborn".
