      "[Herman Adolph (1844-1900)] and his wife had three sons; his wife died November 1, 1874 following the birth of the third. He remarried Amelia Elize Eichmeyer at Hopewell in 1875 and reared eight more children to adulthood." This total of 11 children falls one short of the list of 12 children Fred H. Meinershagen lists as offspring in his The Prosperous and Diligent Blacksmith from Wersen: a Genealogy of Heinrich Adolph Meinershagen, January 1, 1785-May 22, 1870, published in 1973.
