What is interesting about this family is that his half-siblings were also his cousins because they both have a common ancestor in Johann Philip Stephan of 1681. Johann is this writers 6X G/grandfather. see Mem# 115861290 (these two families are descended from his two sons b1704 and 1708)
Prior Entry:
Born Lorenz Andre in Scioto township, Ross Co, Ohio, to Jacob & Susannah (Hahn/Haynes) Andre. Lawrence lost his father, a native of Germany, at the age of two, and his mother married his father's relative Peter Steffan. They moved to Columbus in the 1890s and brought Lawrence, who learned to be a baker, a trade he carried on for many years. He married Clara, in 1901, and they lived on Grant Avenue. They had no children, and were divorced about 1911. He married secondly Bessie Belle Coogle, on Christmas Eve, 1912. He took up employment with Columbus Coated Fabrics as a foreman, and worked for the company the rest of his life. By the late twenties Lawrence was single again. He lived at 797 1/2 Summit Street until his last days, which were spent at Hunter Rest Home on Bryden Road.
Addendum:
Lawrence passed away on August 8, 1953 in Columbus, Franklin Co, Ohio at the age of 81. He is buried in this cemetery. Interestingly the house where he was living in 1950 was the same home occupied by a related Steffan family in 1915 - 1920. (Written by a Stephan grandson) His sister-in-law Laura Knight Andrew is buried in this cemetery also - see #48125109
