Elizabeth Brickner Baptized on April 24, 1867, April 22, 1867, Holy Family Catholic Church, New Cleveland, Putnam County, Ohio, name shown as Elisabetham, parents Wilhelmo Brickner and Elisabetha Weiss, godparents Andreas Weiss and Barbara Weiss. (Note: this is the second baptism entry I found in the Holy Family record books.)

Johanna Maria Schmenk. Baptized on June 18, 1880, born on June 16, 1880, Holy Family Catholic Church, New Cleveland, Putnam County, Ohio, shows name as Joannam Mariam, parents Henrici Schmenk and Mariae Vembert, godparents were Guilelmo Kaufmann and Joannae Buscher.

Elizabeth Borer Baptized on April 16, 1864, born on April 9, 1863, Holy Family Catholic Church, New Cleveland, Putnam County, Ohio, shows name as Elisabetha, parents as Joseph Borer and Brigitta Hottinger, godparents as Elisabeth Brickner and Bernard Hottinger.

Joseph B. Weis Baptized on May 6, 1863, born May 3, 1863, Holy Family Catholic Church, New Cleveland, Putnam County, Ohio, shows name as Josephum, parents Andrea Weiss and Katharina Simons, godparents as Joseph Weiss and Elisabeth Weiss. Headstone photo shows birthdate as May 2! Baptism shows birthdate as May 3. I double-checked this and the birthdate IS May 3, baptism May 6. I seemed to have run across another baptism entry at Holy Family. I cannot remember if I had another or where the information came from but on this particular one I do NOT see the birthdate of May 3, so don't understand this but assume I got the information from the Toledo Diocese or some other baptismal entry.

Baptized on May 2, 1880, born on August 19, 1879, Holy Family Catholic Church, New Cleveland, Putnam County, Ohio, shows name as Jacobum, parents Jacobi Otto and Catharinae Drommelschmidt, godparents Nicolao Bock, Sen., and Catharina Otto.

Elizabeth Mary/Maria Kuhlman, Baptized on May 9, 1880, born on May 8, 1880, Holy Family Catholic Church, New Cleveland, Putnam County, Ohio, shows name as Mariam Elisabetham, parents Henrici Kuhlmann and Philumenae Kalhof (this should be Karhoff), godparents Joanne Theodoro Kuhlmann and Maria Kalhof.

Bernadine Lammers, Private baptism on March 14, 1880, born on March 13, 1880, Holy Family Catholic Church, New Cleveland, Putnam County, Ohio, shows name as Bernardina, parents Henrici Lammers and Gertrudis Siebeneck. In testimonium (I believe this might mean that someone else baptized her as it was an emergency. There were no godparents shown and she did die the same day as she was baptized and either born the day before or the same day she died.)

Edward John Lammers, Baptized on March 21, 1880, shows birthdate as only January 1880, Holy Family Catholic Church, New Cleveland, Putnam County, Ohio, shows name as Joannem Eduardum, parents Wendelini Lammers and Elisabethae Zink, godparents Joannes and (Ludovica) Louise Lammers. Note: I would assume his birthdate then was January 1, 1880, because January 1 is shown on his death certificate, his WW1 Draft Registration Card and also his obituary but his birth record (probate) shows February 17, 1880!!!
