Victim of the General Slocum Disaster - age 11 years old, death cert #2801, lived at 805 6th Street, identified by brother Henry.
Henry Hedenkamp, who is about 24 years of age, identified his sister, Margaret, aged 11, early in the morning in a little pine coffin. Margaret was to have celebrated her birthday to-day. Henry came to the morgue looking for his father, John and brother Frank who, with his sister Margaret, were among the missing. Henry threw himself across his sister's coffin, and it required the combined efforts of several men to tear Henry away from his sister's coffin.
