Rosalie Heckendorn, born 1919, granddaughter of Louis, told me her mother had said that Elizabeth's best friend was Rosina Froehlich. As Elizabeth was dying, she asked Rosina to take care of Louis and her four young children. On April 20, 1868, just six months after Elizabeth's death, 17-year-old Rosina Margaret Froehlich married the 32-year-old widower Louis Griepenstroh in Metropolis, Illinois. Rosina gave birth to her first child, Elizabeth Margaret, on August 31, 1869 in Metropolis.
