Mary Heichelbech

Mary William "Bill" Heichelbech (née) Knott, aka Dot. Seen here at the St. Meinrad Abbey in Indiana in 1923. She was my grandmother and I had never seen her at this age before. I love her outfit and her smile. 

Start with the obvious

Ana M. Weill and Kenneth E. Heichelbech are my parents.

Ana is the child of Ernest Alfonso Weill III (1921-1998) and Mary Lura Morgan (1921-1990). Her siblings are Rhoda, Larry, Ernie (all three living), and John Bruce (1947-1968).

EAWIII ("Grampere") was the child  of Ernest A. Weill II (1887-1948) and Jessie Glenn (1895-1923). Jessie died within a year of EAWIII's birth. Her death certificate says she died from  apoplexy.
EAWII remarried to Chessie Compton (lived about 1900- 1983).

Mary L. Morgan ("Mother Mary") is the child of William Bruce Morgan (b. 1886) and Ruth Stemm (b. 1892).  Her siblings are William Bruce (died in 2015) and Diane (death date unkwown).

Mother Mary and Grampere, date unknown. It's rare to see a picture of them together. 

Ken is the child of Mary William Knott (1900-1985) and Wallace Heichelbech (1900-1975). His siblings are Jim (still living), Bill (still living), and Elizabeth (1933-1939).

Wallace is the son of Albert Heichelbech (1870-1942) and  Emma Asadore Scott (1874-1960).  His siblings are Blanch (b. 1899), Alberta (1906-1963), and Hazel (b. 1910). They also had 2 infants that died, one in 1905 and one in 1911.  I do not know anything about Emma Scott's lineage.
