Documentation:
* This family belonged to St. John's Lutheran Church near Homestead. The church may have been started by a man named Doescher, a Missouri Synod Lutheran Missionary in 1860. The Church, I believe is at 1928 V Ave, Homestead today.
* Johann Heinrich (Henry B.) FOLKMANN lived just south of South Amana and is buried in St. Paul's Lutheran cemetery, Williamsburg.
* Many in this family are buried in one of the Lutheran cemeteries near Homestead.
* Much of the info in this sheet needs verification and I would appreciate any suggestions for further assistance. Thanks, Len and Dorothy McGrandle (nee FOLKMANN).
