Individual evidence

  1. ↑ Deviating from this information, the family register noted December 26, 1889 as the date of death. On the day of his death, December 13th, there was probably a mix-up with that of his wife. Wilhelmine Josephine Mathilde Hohmann was born on September 7, 1809 (according to other sources, 1816) in Berlin and died on December 13, 1885 in Kassel.
