I am looking for information on Mary Elizabeth Booker, dau. of Frederick Epker (1836-1917) & Catherine Ruprecht (1826-1900).
Mary Elizabeth Booker married John Epker (1861 - unk.)
Their children:
John (1861 - unk)
Henrietta (1864 - 1925)
Catherine Matilda (1884 - 1973) (my grandmother)
William H. (1889 - unk)
Elizabeth (1893 - unk)
Walter Eben (1896 - 1980)
Mary (1901 - unk)
Minnie Irene (1907 - 1985)
I have tons of info on most of the Epkers that I have seen on this board, but cannot find anything on Mary Elizabeth Booker. Catherine Ruprecht was first married to Johann Diedrich Beucke in 1849; she married Frederich Epker 10/8/1877. She was the dau. of Heinrich Ruprecht and Louise Homeyer.
I can't find anything where she was married to a Booker or how Mary Elizabeth Booker came by her last name. Before my father passed last year, I asked him and he couldn't remember anything. He said that none of the brothers and sisters got together after they were grown and married. He was the last of his siblings and died at 97 yrs.
I'd appreciate any help.
