Notes:

Anna Marie Mathilda Horn and Michael Baehr were married 12 Apr 1909. At the time he was peddling waffles on the street; later he worked in a steel mill. Uncle Mike was a wandering soul who never quite found himself. He did have a good sense of humer. He moved from place to place. Once they sold everything and bought a horse and wagon and traveled to Arizona. Jennie Brandt Funkhouser was there with her big family and both nearly starved to death. This was in 1924. Nelda remembers her mother laying black material on the ground and cutting out dresses for the two girls and sewing them by hand on the trip. When this expedition failed, they sold all for tickets on the railroad and headed for Michigan where Uncle Mike had a sister. He always complained he couldn't breathe and that the lake air was better. They moved into a Dutch community of Zeeland and were persecuted by the Dutch who hated the Germans. Eventually, they got a 10 acre farm and he made a living on it and became the twon 'Junk' man much to Aunt Annie's chagrin. She was very religious and was always praying for his sins.

Michael married Anna Marie Matilda Horn on 12 Apr 1909. Anna was born on 13 Jan 1887 in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA; died on 9 Oct 1970 in Sparta, Kent County, Michigan, USA; was buried in Zeeland Cemetery, Zeeland, Ottawa County, Michigan, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
