Simon Heinrich Werhmann's parents

All of the information here comes from reference 5.

Simon Heinrich Wehrmann came to the Town of Herman in about 1851 with his family. He settled on a farm next to his brother, Frederick Karl Wehrmann.

Simon Heinrich married Wilhelmine Fredericke Nagel on July 6 1857 in the Town of Herman. Wilhelmine Fredericke Nagel is the daughter of Conrad and Caroline Nagel from Helfsensdorf, Germany.

In 1862, Simon Heinrich Wehrmann enlisted to fight in the American Civil War. He fought for the 27^th Regiment of Wisconsin Infantry. He died during the war on July 19 1863 in Snyders Bluff, Mississippi, of a fever. He was buried somewhere in Mississippi near where he died. Later, some of the soldiers who died and were buried there were reinterred and buried in Vicksburg National Cemetery, Vicksburg, Mississippi. Those graves are marked as unknown. Simon Heinrich Wehrmann may still be buried in an unmarked grave near Snyder's Bluff or may be buried in an “unknown soldier” grave in Vicksburg.

Simon Heinrich Wehrmann and Wilhelmine Fredericke Nagel had three children.

10.1 William Simon Wehrmann
born October 9 1858

10.2 Theodore Wehrmann
born January 29 1864

10.3 Simon August Wehrmann
born January 16 1863

Simon Heinrich Wehrmann died before he ever saw his youngest child. The three children were raised by other family members. It is not known with whom William Simon lived. Theodore was raised by Karoline Wehrmann Brandt, and Simon August was raised by Frederick Karl Wehrmann.

Wilhelmine Fredericke married Peter Spitzer March 11 1865.
