Biographical sketch entitled Heinrich W. Oberhellmann Family. "He [Heinrich W. Oberhellmann] came to America with his parents at the age of 9 years." By calculation, the family would have emigrated about 1832-1833.

Biographical sketch entitled Heinrich W. Oberhellmann Family. "In 1849, [Heinrich W. Oberhellmann] married Marie Engel Nieman. They lived on the Nieman farm, later the Oberhellmann farm, one fourth mile North of the Holstein Church. They had two sons, F. William & F. Gerhard. F. Gerhard died after birth, as did the mother." This date of the marriage does not fit with the date recorded in the published records of the church at Holstein, Missouri.

Biographical sketch entitled Heinrich W. Oberhellmann Family. "In 1852, Heinrich remarried to Sophia Bierbaum of Femme Osage. This marriage had seven children." The sketch ends with a list of Heinrich's children; a total of eight names. The first, F. William, has already been identified earlier in the biography as being from the first marriage. The remaining seven are presumably from the second marriage: Anna, Johanna, Wilhelmina, Frederick J., Martin S., Henry H., and Daniel A. This count seems not to be confirmed by the published baptismal records of the church at Holstein, which indicates that Heinrich and Sophia had nine children.

Henry W. Oberhellmann's second wife was "Miss Sophia Bierbaum, a daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Bierbaum, originally of Germany, but at the time residents of St. Charles county, both of whom are now deceased. By his last marriage were born nine children, two of whom died in infancy. The others are: Henry, Mina, Fritz, Johanne, Martin, Daniel and Anne, the last of whom is the eldest and wife of Fritz Lichtenberg, a farmer of this county."
