Some info on the Stellmacher name in Michigan: There was an untraceable Matilde Stellmacher who in 1871 was God Mother to Anna's son August. Nothing is known connecting the other Stellmachers living in Detroit. Matilde could not be found in any other records before or after 1871.
{No connection has been made to an Otto R. Stellmacher. In 1870 Otto came to America, married Bertha Lutzke in Wisconsin. In 1880-97 he and his family were in Detroit where he worked as a baker. By 1900 he had moved to St Louis, MO.}
(Note, there was a Mathida Stellmacher living in Midland County but she was born in 1866, thus to young to be a God Mother in 1871.)
Back to Anna, she married John Hanneman in about 1858 in Prussia, (no marriage record has been found). On 1 Sep 1869 the couple and their son Gustav arrived in NY from Germany on the S.S. America. The first records then found are the 1870 Census and Detroit city directory which shows the family living in the lower east side of Detroit.
While the couple had 12 children only 4 survived to adulthood, (Gustav, Helena, Theresa & John - all 4 are buried in this cemetery).
Four of Anna's children were born and died in Danzig, West Prussia before the family came to America. They were:
1. Carl Rudolph, 1859-1859
2. Otto Edward, 1863-1864
3. Herman August, 1865-1868
4. Ernest Robert, 1866-1869
Note Stellmacher witnesses to the baptisms for the above children were Maria Madelena, John, Justine Anna & Julianne. There were no Hanneman witnesses.
Four of the seven children born in Detroit also died very young.
1. Martha Rosalia, 1870-1874
2. August Charles, 1871-1874
3. Clara Amanda, 1878-1879
4. Unknown
So many deaths of their young children, it must have been very hard for Anna & John.
The four children to live to be adults were:
1. Gustav Charles, 1860 Danzig - 1922 Detroit, m. Maria Schimmer, 5 ch
2. Helena, 1873 Detroit - 1963 Detroit, m. J Hessler, no ch
3. Teresa, 1874 Detroit -1958 Detroit, m. C Hess, 2 ch
4. John Charles, 1876 Detroit - 1955 Detroit, m. Mary Carda, 1 ch
After arriving in Detroit the couple settled in the lower East side of Detroit. While they lived in many homes all of them were close to Gratiot Ave and within a 2 mile radius.
In their later years Anna & John lived with their daughter Theresa. Anna is buried with her husband John and in between her daughter Theresa and her son John.
In 2005 the marker on this grave was provided by Anna's Great Grandson Roger Hanneman, (Grandson of John, Son of Raymond).
