Facts and Events
Name[1] Charles Hofer
Gender Male
Birth[1] 10 Dec 1840 Baden, Germanyus census data. Note: his granddaughter Lily refers to German-Swiss ancestry. The Swiss part would almost have to be from Charles.
Marriage Abt 1872 Pennsylvaniato Katherina I Biller
Residence[1] 1880 Allentown, Lehigh, Pennsylvania, United States
Other[2] 1880 Allentown, Lehigh, Pennsylvania, USAResidence

Both parents from the Black Forest region (Baden) according to 1880 census. Note however that son Chas Clemence has him coming from Berlin in the1930 census. I guess I will stick with Baden.

1880 census for Allentown: "Works at furnace"

I note that there is a Karl Hofer from Gamburg, b Dec 1840 right by Tauberbisofsheim where Katherina (his wife) is from. I am going to assume thisis it.

I note that his wife Kate is indicated as remarrying in 1882 to a Frank Graf, in Ohio. I am having trouble finding out the details on this.
