      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.
