| Frank Schumacher (1888-1945) was a brother to my grandmother Anna (Schumacher) Gerken. Frank Schumacher married Myrtle Binhoff (1890-1946), and they lived at Dubuque, Iowa, where Frank was secretary-treasurer and general superintendent at Morrison Brothers. T.L. | ||
Frank M. Schumacher was born August 15, 1886, in East Dubuque, Illinois, the firstborn child of George and Mathilda (Uthe) Schumacher. His brothers and sisters were Frank, John "Jack," Joseph "Joe," Louise, and Anna. Their mother Mathilda died in 1897, and later that same year George Schumacher married Catherine Fuerstenberg. Catherine brought a daughter Josephine into the marriage, and George and Catherine had six additional children of their own: George, Margaret, Louis, Henrietta, Albert, and Mary. Circa 1903 the Schumacher family moved from East Dubuque across the Mississippi River to Dubuque, Iowa.
Frank Schumacher married Myrtle Binhoff on April 2, 1907. She was born on July 3, 1890, at Muscatine, Iowa, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Binhoff. Frank and Myrtle Schumacher lived at Dubuque, where they were members of Nativity Catholic Church.
| By October 1917, Anna Schumacher, Frank's sister, was residing with Frank and Myrtle. Surviving letters indicate that Anna lived with Frank and Myrtle at both of their Jackson street addresses, and letters from December 1918 and April 1919 that were addressed to Anna Schumacher, c/o Frank Schumacher, have an address of 3165 Elm. (There was a period from the latter part of 1918 into 1919 where Anna was away living in Chicago and working.) These surviving letters to Anna were from her beau Ewald Gerken, who was serving in France during World War I. Upon Ewald's return home from the service, he too boarded with the Schumachers as he and Anna awaited their wedding day of September 10, 1919, and Frank and Myrtle's Elm street home served as the setting for their wedding breakfast. For some time Ewald worked at Morrison Brothers, where Frank was foreman; Joe Schumacher and Jack Schumacher, two brothers of Frank and Anna, would also work at Morrison Brothers. |
Born to Frank and Myrtle (Binhoff) Schumacher were Edith, Ethel, George, Warren, Frank, Marcella, John, Raymond "Pete," Robert "Bob," and Mary Schumacher.
