Heinrich met Elizabeth Meiser, in Germany or on board ship, because they both arrived in 1884 and married May 13,1884 in New York City, before journeying to Kentucky. They were early Kentucky settlers, clearing land of dense timberland, tilling the soil and harvesting crops. This union produced five more children; Eva, being their youngest child.

Eva's widowed mother,Elizabeth, moved to St. Bernard, Ohio with her 3 daughters and ran a boarding house to support herself and family. She later married [2] Fred Binder.
As was their custom, Eva accompanied her mother, Elizabeth, to the P&G freight yard to gather coal. She cautioned Eva to stay in one spot. When Eva saw a crowd gathered near the tracks, she sensed something had happend to her mother. Elizabeth had been killed instantly by an incoming freight train.
Eva was placed in an orphanage and when she became of age she was released with 25 cents and she didn't know what to do or where to go. She went into a nearby theatre where the opera "Tales of Hoffman" was playing. Baccarole, a beautiful melody from the opera, became her favorite and is included here. She became a governess and worked in candy and cigarette factories to support herself. Later, she was a riding instructress for the Kenny Riding Academy Stables.

She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She was an excellent seamstress having made most of her family's clothes.
A great baker, she made her own bread, cakes and pies; and an excellent cook having mastered German, Italian, Chinese and Jewish cuisine. She taught her children how to cook and her children and grandchildren continue to make her recipes to this day.
