Henry Schaper, April 14th, 1875 - 1964

Heinrich "Henry" Schaper emmigrated to Chicago, Illinois, where the brother of his mother, Louis Windel, lived.

Louis Windel had no children and asked Henry to become a partner in his drugstore in Chicago.

Henry there got to know his later wife Regina, whose mother (immigrated from Austria) led Louis' household.

For many years, Henry led the drugstore on his own, after his uncle Louis had emmigated to Mexico.

In 1920, the family lived 2751 Lincoln Boulevard , in 1930, 1127 Edmer Street, Chicago.

During his lifetime, Henry had a good contact to the family of his sister Auguste Marx,, who lived with her family in Chicago too, and several times visited his relatives in his overseas-home-town Bad Pyrmont, Germany.

Dörchen and Lina, both teachers, must be cousins of Henry, but I haven't found out how they are related.
