Bierbaum, Heinrich

Other Events:

• Census: 1920, Moss Creek Township, Carroll County, Missouri, USA

Notes:

Birth:

     There is some dispute about the year of Heinrich's birth. According to the published marriage register of the Evangelical church at Holstein, Warren County, Missouri, Heinrich was born on 4 January 1857. The date of January 1857 is also reported in the 1900 U. S. census enumeration of the Bierbaum household in Sugartree Township, Carroll County, Missouri. The 1920 U. S. census enumeration of the Bierbaum household in Moss Creek Township, Carroll County, Missouri gave "Henry's" age as 63; by calculation from the information provided, he would have been born about 1856-1857.
     Heinrich's death certificate in 1930 reported that he had been born on 4 January 1852. This personal information was provided by a Charles Bierbaum, of Carrollton, Missouri; this may have been Heinrich's son. An obituary published in an unidentified and undated Carroll County, Missouri newspaper before his funeral repeated the same date.
     A resolution will require further research.

According to the 1920 enumeration, Henry Bierlaum [sic] (age 63) lived with his daughter, Laura Hayes, her husband, George Hayes, their child, Susie Hayes (age 16), Herold [sic] Hayes (age 9), George and Laura's adopted son.
