Elizabeth Umbs Dehaus
22. Elizabeth2 UMBS (John Nicolaus O.1, JoannisA, JohannesB) (#141) was born in
Defiance Co.,, OH. 8 MAR 1856.(22) Elizabeth
died 5 JAN 1940 in Defiance, Defiance Co., OH, at age 83. Her body was interred 8 JAN 1940 in Riverside Cem., Defiance Co.,
OH.
She married Anthony Henry DEHAUS 18 MAY 1876 in Defiance, Defiance Co., OH.(23) Church Location unknown, need to research (Anthony Henry DEHAUS is #142.)
Anthony was born 20 FEB 1848 in Hanover, Germany. Anthony was the son of Mr. DEHAUS. Anthony died 17 AUG 1890 in
Defiance, Defiance Co., OH, at age 42. His body was interred AUG 1890 in Riverside Cem., Defiance Co., OH.
According to Josephine (DeHaus) Barber her father came to America to avoid a draft in the german army. She did not why he came to Defiance
Ohio, but she knew he had a brother in Nebraska that was married and had several daughters.
No one new who Anthony's parents were except that he was from Hanover, Germany. Anthony worked at the Trunbull Wagon Works in Defiance.
He died of a enlarged spleen which had given him trouble for about three years prior to his death. I need to continue on research such as
naturalization, date and location of immigration Baptism as a catholic prior to his wedding.
Anthony's brother that lived in Nebraska and we have a family photo that was taken in Troy NE.he was named Andrew, as at one time I found a
Andrew DeHaus in Defiance and Aunt Kay mentioned that she remembered Aunt Kate talking about a Andy DeHaus.
Anthony DeHaus and family resided on Harrison Ave. between Pierce & Warren according to the 1881-1882 city directory. And in 1887 the
directory shows the family at Kentner St. I reviewed LDS microfilm files and it did not show a Dehaus name in Hanover but did show Deheus?
It is also believed that Anthony and his brother came originally from the Netherlands.

DeHaus, died today at 6 a.m. at her home, 846 Kintner St., after suffering a cerebral Thrombusis several days ago. the body has been removed
