The story continues:
Notes, Sources, and References:
- Mary Theresa (Knipshield) Helbling (1810-1891), mother of Elizabeth “Lizzy” Barbara (Helbling) Spahn (1839-1928), would have been the cause of the “interference” that broke off the original betrothal.
- Frank Brussman (1839-1898) was originally “Francis” and his name is often spelled “Bussman.”
- Frank Spahn (1862-1882) was the son who drowned; the other son was Frederick A. J. Spahn (1865-1937).
