I noticed that you posted a correction for Lazarus Fuldheim's name on the 1860 census. Please send me any information that you have on the Fuldheim families in Ohio. My great grandmother was Rachel Fuldheim born in October 1876 and died on January 21, 1908. Her death notice stated that she was the daughter of a shoe store owner in Cleveland.
In 1899, she married Lester "Leslie" J. Slocum. On the 1900 census they were living in in Geneva-On-The-Lakes, Ashtabula County, Ohio. She had 4 children, including my grandmother Florence Ruth Slocum born around 1906 , Gladys, and George. Grandmother Florence was only 6 years-old when her mother died. Florence only knew that her mother was Jewish and Rachel's parents were born in Germany.
According to a newspaper, immediately before she died, she got angry at her husband, traveled another city, checked into a hotel under that alias name of Mrs. Raymond. I will appreciate any information that you have for the family history.

I have too much data to send in this little e-mail, but here's Lazarus' obit, from the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

LAZARUS FULDHEIM DEAD.
Former Active Business Man and Old Resident of City Passes Away Suddenly.
Lazarus Fuldheim, one of the pioneer residents of this city, died suddenly at 8:45 o’clock last night of heart failure. The funeral services will be held from Mayfield chapel tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock. The services will be conducted by Rabbi Machol. The interment will be in Mayfield cemetery. Mr. Fuldheim was 77 years of ago.
He was born in Coblenz, Germany, and came to this country and to Cleveland in 1850. He has been a resident of this city since that time. For the last fifteen years Mr. Fuldheim had led a quiet life, having retired from active business because of his advanced age. Previous to his retirement he was actively engaged in various lines of trade.
Though he had been in poor health for some time, his death was entirely unexpected by members of his family. His children had planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their parents’ marriage on Feb. 13.
Mr. Fuldheim is survived by his widow, Mrs. Regina Fuldheim, and by four sons and three daughters. They are: Meyer Fuldheim, M.E. Fuldheim, R.L. Fuldheim, E.M. Fuldheim, Miss Cora Fuldheim, Mrs. J. Firth, all of Cleveland, and Mrs. Ray Slocum of Geneva, O.
***********
He came to Cleveland 1850. Pallbearers were his sons, Jacob Firth, Samuel Fuldheim and Isidor Ailringer.

He had a brother Meyer/Morris and a sister Caroline, who married Marx and lived in NYC. He married Regina Ailringer 13 FEB 1854 in Cleveland. Regina's parents were Asher Ailringer, who died in Cleveland in 1870, aged 69, and Yetta Fuldheim.

Surnames: Fuldheim, Ailringer, Firth, Marx, Kraus, Harris, Corn, Kohn, PollockThalman,
Thank you so very much for the obituary of Lazarus Fuldheim with several family member names. You have helped me learn about my family heritage and given me the names of my great great grandparents and the city Koblenz, Germany, where they immigrated from and possible were born. I would have never been able to learn my family history without your help, because we only knew the 1 clue about the shoe store in Cleveland, Ohio!

My grandmother Florence Ruth Slocum was only 6 years-old when her mother Rachel "Ray" Fuldheim Slocum died in 1908, so she never knew the name of Ray's parents: Lazarus and Regina Ailringer [typed as Culminger in error for marriage record translation online.]

Also, Thank you for giving me the names of my g-g grandmother Regina's parents Asher Ailringer and Yetta Fuldheim Ailringer.

I enjoyed learning about g-g uncle Meyer / Morris Fuldheim and g-g aunt Caroline Fuldheim Marx and their family members too!

I am a professional archaeologist whose hobby for 16 years is researching family history. Although, I was trained through a Masters Degree program to study heritage resources and research their related documents, I hit a brick wall with finding Fuldheim documents.

My family tree was empty of names and you have filled in many blank spaces, but also you have helped me fill a deep void in my heart from not knowing who my Fuldheim ancestors were.

Are you related to the Fuldheim family? What date was the obituary for Lazarus Fuldheim published?

Sorry Archaeolady. I thought I had included the date for the obit: 19 JAN 1904. And I'm glad you liked the info.

Funny you hitting the brick wall with the Fuldheims, because I hit a similar wall trying to trace the Slocums. Nothing on the 1900 or 1910 censuses. How'd you find the newspaper article on Ray's death? There's a little item in the Plain Dealer when she and Lester married, and how the family knew about it, but wouldn't talk about it. I'm thinking maybe she was a little impulsive or hot-tempered!

No, I have no relation to the family at all. I was following part of the family and I make corrections whenever I can in Ancestry. (though not lately, since I have no subscription anymore) If you would like to know more about the family, contact me at pklein5ATgmail.com.
