Henry Seiter's children - Anna Seiter




Anna Seiter was one of Henry Seiter and Catherine Marr Seiter's oldest children.

She and her twin brother, John, were born on January 1, 1903 in New York City.

Anna married Arthur F. Johnson in Queens, NY on June 23, 1920. Arthur was born about 1899.


Anna can be found in the 1910 census living with her father, Henry [posted previously]. In 1920 she was living with her Aunt Elizabeth Beresheim - see above census - click on image to enlarge. I cannot find Anna and Arthur in the 1930 census.

I will post pictures and additional information if anyone can provide them.

Henry Seiter's brother - Rudolph Seiter

I think that Henry had a younger brother named Rudolph who died as an infant, because there is an infant named Rudolph buried with Henry’s father, Jacob.

Rudolph was buried at St. Michael’s Cemetery on 12/8/1894 after dying at the age of 9 months and two days. There is no gravestone.

Henry Seiter's sister - Phoebe Seiter Callahan













Henry’s other sister, Phoebe, was born 8/24/1881 in New York City. See image #1 – click on image to enlarge.

Phoebe married John Wilson Callahan on 9/30/1903. [Image #2]. John Wilson Callahan was born on 10/1/1876 and was the son of Jeremiah Callahan and Isabella Stewart Wilson. John Callahan was a plumber.

Phoebe died on 7/18/1977 and is buried in Greenfield Cemetery, Uniondale, NY with her husband, sister Susie and her mother Katharine [Hess] Seiter [Section 31a, Lot 57 graves 3 & 4 – image #6]. Phoebe was living in Anaheim, CA when she died.

Phoebe and John had a son named Jeremiah Callahan [8/11/1908 – 3/30/1979], named for his grandfather [see image #7]. Jeremiah was living in Anaheim, CA when he died.
Iamge #3 is the 1910 census. Image #4 is the 1920 census. Image #5 is the 1930 census [This is nice because it shows that Susie and her sister - Phoebe Callahan - were very close to Katherine Seiter, their mother. They all bought houses next to each other.]



Henry Seiter's sister - Susie Seiter Weber






Okay – so I have posted on my great grandfather Henry Seiter [1883 – 1959] and great grandmother Catherine Marr Seiter [1883-1914] as well as Catherine Marr’s siblings. Now to Henry Seiter’s siblings, then to Henry’s kids and then to Henry’s ancestors.

Henry had a sister named Susie [birth, census and marriage records refer to her as Susan, Susie, or Sussiana] who was born on 9/14/1880 [see above image #1 - Click on the picture to enlarge].

Susie married Charles Weber on 5/3/1902 [see above image #2 - Click on the picture to enlarge]. Charles Weber was born in Washington DC about 1878 and was the son of Valentine Weber and Karoline Schmohl. Charles was a bricklayer.

Susie and Charles had two daughters [Charlotte in about 1903 and Phoebe in about 1906] and a son , Charles, in about 1912. Susie died in 1962 and is buried in Greenfield Cemetery, Uniondale, NY with her sister Phoebe, her brother in law John and her mother Katharine [Hess] Seiter [Section 31a, Lot 57 graves 3 & 4].
The only gravestone at the site lists only Phoebe and John, but burial records show that Susie Weber and Katherine Hess Seiter are also buried there.

Picture #3 is the 1910 census. Picture #4 is the 1920 census [Charles Weber is barely legible, and Susie , right below him isn’t legible at all]. Picture #5 is the 1930 census [This is nice because it shows that Susie and her sister - Phoebe Callahan - were very close to Katherine Seiter, their mother. They all bought houses next to each other.] Click on the pictures to enlarge

1900 John Marr Jr & the Plumps

John Marr Jr was the brother of Catherine Marr Seiter [wife of Henry Seiter and mother to Anna, John, James, Henry, Edward and Dorothy].

John Marr Jr can be found in the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 census [the 1900 census is posted here - click on the image to enlarge and then click on "all sizes" directly above the image to enlarge further]. He married Helena [Lena] Plump and all of the census records also show siblings of Helena, often living next door.


John and Helena Marr were the parents of George and Margaret/Margette Marr.

If you want to see the other censuses, email me and I will email them to you.

Catherine Marr extended family part 2


This is the rest of Catherine Marr's family near as I can tell. You'll notice that this is very different from the post entitled "Marr Branch of the Seiter Family Tree" - that is because I found additional siblings for Catherine Marr as well as a first wife for John Marr Sr.

Catherine Marr extended family part 1


As near as I can tell, this is Catherine Marr's extended family - couldn't fit it all in one picture and still be readable. You'll notice this is very different from the earlier post entitled "Marr Branch of the Seiter Family Tree" - that is because I discovered additional siblings for Catherine Marr and a first wife for John Marr Sr.

I know I haven't mentioned the Plumps yet - next time
