Because one of the themes today over at GeneaBloggers is Tombstone Tuesday and I’ve mentioned a couple of times that my great-great grandmother was an Aumiller (Maria Aumiller), I thought I’d post a gravestone I located in Calvary.
Now I haven’t connected any dots with any Aumillers that I’ve located in Toledo to my family yet. But the proof that I’m related to Aumillers comes from baptismal records of two of Eva Dauer’s and Joseph Plenzler’s children–Bob and Mary. In their baptismal records from St. Anthony’s parish of Toledo, the grandparents are noted as well as as the parents. In Bob’s baptismal record, it appears as if the name were recorded in German: Ömiller. But in Mary’s baptismal record, it is recorded as Aumiller.
I haven’t really pursued any Aumiller connections yet; but when I do photo Calvary, I will take photos of graves with names that sound familiar to me. So while going through the photos for today’s theme, I noticed I took a picture of a grave of someone named Maryanna Aumiller.
Maryanna Aumiller, 1856 - 1918, Calvary Cemetery grave
I had done some initial investigation with Maryanna, but nothing leads me to link her to Eva. However, I did locate a 1900 census record that reflects Maryanna, her husband George, and family living at 1555 Avondale in the Kuschwantz neighborhood. Joe and Eva Plenzler were living at 1544 Avondale. They most certainly knew each other–they were neighbors and many Catholic families on that street attended St. Anthony’s parish.
Maryanna and George had nine children per the 1900 census:
- Anthony (age 18)
- Agnes (age 16)
- Kate (age 14)
- Wiktorya (Victoria) (age 12)
- Anna (age 11)
- Joseph (age 11)
- Stanislawa (age 9)
- Ignace (age 7)
- Konstancya (age 5)
I have also obtained Maryanna’s death certificate, church burial/death record through St. Anthony’s parish and burial record through Calvary. What is unusual about this is when comparing these records with the gravestone, it’s obvious that someone guesstimated her birth year. Her grave stone states she was born in 1856, which would have made Maryanna 62 years old at the time of death. However, her death certificate states her birthdate is unknown. Her burial record from Calvary Cemetery, is transcribed below, provides the grave location:

Remarks:
Maybe this will provide a start to making links with Aumillers. Maryanna would be linked to Eva through her husband. If anyone has any information on this family, leave a comment here or drop me an email. I’ll follow up.

Donna,
I believe Maryanna husband Wojciech “George” Aumiller’s parents were Antoni and Cecilia Aumiller. Don’t know Cecylia’s maiden name but seems possibly connected to your earlier post about the Plenzlers in MN.
I will see if I can track down where I got this info – I have not been working very hard on my research lately!
I have Wojciech and Marianna (maiden name Chalupka) in my files because their daughter Anna Cecilia married into my husband’s grandmother’s Gomolski family. Anna was born in Princeton WI in 1888 and married my husband’s great-uncle Joseph Gomolski in 1912 at St. Anthony’s in Toledo.
Sincerely,
Judy Ellis Czarnecki

Judy, thank you so much I wonder too if this is connected to the fact that John Plenzler and Maryanna Krych were in MN and WI.. Judy Stewart has said a few times that the sisters, Kunegunda, Catherine, and Elizabeth had written to the Toledo Plenzlers. Perhaps they had kept in touch with all of the siblings in OH, IN, and MN or WI. The name George Aumiller sounds familiar for some reason. I don’t remember why right now–maybe I have another Aumiller grave photo. But thank you so much too for the new names–I haven’t heard the names of Chalupka and Gomolski yet in my research. I find it interesting that Anna would have traveled to Ohio.
