• Notes

  Anna was the oldest (age 21) of the six Nemer siblings when they immigrated on the Ship "Gertrude" from le Havre and arrived in New York on 20 May, 1852. Six months later Anna married Henry Simon Jr. in St. Boniface Catholic Church, Fulda, Indiana. This was the first marriage to be recorded by Father Kundak in the new St. Boniface parish records. Anna and Henry Simon had five children. Her occupation is listed as housekeeper on census reports. Henry was a farmer and later opened a shoe shop in Fulda. Henry died in 1885, leaving a hand written will which was witnessed and signed by Henry's brothers John and Martin (later executed by Martin Simon as John was by then deceased). In his will, Henry refers to Anna as "my beloved wife Tina Simon." Confirmation has not been established but one might assume from this that Anna's middle name was Christina or a variation. In points one and two of Henry's will, he bequeaths his estate in its entirity to his wife, but the inheritance is made provisional in the following statement, labeled #3: " The points one and two are only in force as long as my beloved wife Tina Simon remains my widow, should she marry again then the laws of the state of Indiana should be in force." *Excerpt from the "Will of Heinrich Simon" Spencer County, IN Will Book, 1880-1895; p. 217. After Henry's death in 1885, Anna lived with their married son Henry Francis and his family, in the log house/cobbler shop built by Henry prior to his death, where Henry Francis continued the shoe business until about 1914. Anna died twenty years after her husband, still Henry's widow, at age 78.
