    Freidrich married LENHARDT, Katherina Maria on 6 Jun 1883 in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, United States. Katherina (daughter of LENHARDT, Franz Sr. and FREISS, Maria Katherina) was born on 7 Aug 1857 in Coblenz, Sachsen, Germany; died on 31 May 1936 in Mishicot, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, United States; was buried in Mishicot, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, United States.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Immigration: 1868/9
    • Naturalization: 1905

    Notes:

    Immigration:
    She was approximately age 12.
    1900 census states 1869.
    1910 census states 1868.

    Naturalization:
    According to the 1910 Federal census she immigrated in 1868 and was naturalized in 1905.
    According to the 1900 Federal census she immigrated in 1869. Her husband was naturalized.

    Between 1790 to 1906: Women were automatically naturalized when their husbands were naturalized, but they are almost never listed by name on the husband's paperwork. Women who marry citizens gain citizenship without any additional paperwork. US-born women who marry non-citizens automatically lose their citizenship.

    Her husband died in 1897 so it is unusual that she would be naturalized in 1905. Unless there was an issue that they were not actually married when he obtained his citizenship, the 1905 date is inaccurate.
