Other Events and Attributes:

• Also Known As: Henry
• Cause of Death: Arterial schlerosis
• Occupation: Master painter and decorator
• Religion: Lutheran
• Research Notes: Wendell Mohr gave birthdate as “about 1850.” I have been unable to find Heinrich in the 1930 census. He died at about the same time as the census was being enumerated, so it’s possible that he was missed.

Death certificate lists father’s birthplace as Hamburg, Germany and mothers as Fyen, Denmark.

Heinrich married Ane Marie Sørensen on 8 Feb 1874 in Nykøbing Mors, Thisted, Denmark. Ane (daughter of Søren Andersen Lÿkke and Maren Andersdatter) was born on 11 Oct 1847 in Solbjerg, Thisted, Denmark; was christened on 14 Oct 1847 in Solbjerg, Thisted, Denmark; died on 21 Jun 1918 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA; was buried on 24 Jun 1918 in Mount Olive Cemetery, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Cause of Death: Nephritis
• Occupation: Housewife
• Religion: Lutheran
• Medical Notes: According to census records, Anna had two children that died before 1900 (9 born, 7 surviving). This corresponds to the two daughters who died in Denmark (Emma and Maren), which means there was no additional son (Henry). Died of “chronic nephritis, with secondary uraemia.”
• Research Notes: Mt. Olive Cemetary burial record gives age at death at 70 years. Wendell Mohr and 1910 census give first name as “Anna.” Clifford Mohr always said her maiden name was Lÿkke, but that doesn’t seem right. Her death certificate lists her father’s name as Anders Sorensen, Thorwald Mohr’s Christening certificate lists her name as Sorensen, and the California Death Index entries for two of her daughters (Frances and Dagmar) each give her maiden name as Sorensen as well. Other records all support this: birth records of her other children, danish census, marriage, and finally her birth record! It seems her father had the tilnavn Lÿkke, but such names are not usually passed on to daughters. 1885 census (Folketælling) gives her birthplace as Nykøbing på Mors. This sent me in the right direction, but the 1880 census is more accurate, giving her correct birthplace: Solbjerg, Thisted Amt.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Night watchmen at the main railroad station of the Sjælland Railroad in Copenhagen
• Research Notes: Death certificate of his son Heinrich lists birthplace of Hamburg, Germany. 1850 and 1880 Danish Census entries give birthplace as Holstein. 1850 entry also lists a town name, but it is difficult to read. The DDD extraction gives “Eggested” which is Eggstedt in German. 1885 census lists “Pimberg” in Holstein. According to Wendell Mohr’s notes, he “drove train from Schleswig Holstein to Denmark.”

Other Events and Attributes:

• Research Notes: The death certificate of her daughter Ane lists her name as Anna Quist. This is probably because her father had the tilnavn Qvist, although Maren likely never used the name herself.
