• Notes

  Name: St Henry's Cemetery founded in 1863.......Lot 5 Block 5 owner: H Fortmann (presumably: Johannes Heinrich (a.k.a Henry 1st.........) shows a grave site for S.E. Fortmann w/date 30 Dec ??? on the plot card......entry was made after original card written.....this implys a possible reburial from another site since the year is unknown...........Chicago City Cemetery (founded abt 1825.....closed 1870 with all but a 1000 disinterred for reburial) and a Catholic Cemetery founded in 1835 near 23rd and Calumet predates St Henry's........additionally....... This burial site also contains K. A. Fortmann, 1857.....next to S.E....is also a grave predating the opening of St Henry's and thus implying an earlier burial...............this also suggests that the Fortmann's were in the Chicago area pre their appearing on the 1870 Census..........the 1861 "Flowers" map in the Library of Congress shows Clemens Fortmann owning land on the Ridge & Robie St. Section in 1861. Clemens & Henry must therefore have been in this area by 1860.
