BIENEMAN Family Photograph
|
I
have an old studio photograph of Charles BIENEMAN which was taken at the
Billinger & Bro. Studio in Shenandoah, PA in the 1890's.? Charles appears to be in his teens or 20's at
the time the photograph was taken.? Based
on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding
Charles and his family:
?
Charles
¡°Charlie¡± Frederich or Frederick BIENEMAN or BEINEMAN or BINNEMAN or BIENAN or
BIENEMANN was b. 10 May 1871 in Alsace-Lorraine, Germany to parents Jean Charles
BIENEMAN (1844-1915) and Catherine or Katherine MEHL (b. 1843).? Charles was one of 5 children born to this
couple including Charles Frederich; John; Anna M.; William Henry; and Ellen A.
BIENEMAN.? Charles married Martha ¡°MAGGIE¡±
BEES (1873-1958) on 2 Jul 1896, and they had four children including John Bees;
Ruth Amelia; Hilda Mae; and Margaret Anna BIENEMAN, all born between 1900 and
1908.
?
Charles
worked for the Bethlehem Steel Company until he retired in 1938.? Charles died 2 May 1955 in Bethlehem or
Fountain Hill, PA and he is buried in the Mausoleum Memorial Park in Bethlehem,
PA.? His obituary lists his surviving
family including his wife, Martha; daughters Hilda VAN BILLIARD of Evanston,
IL; and Margaret LAUBACH of Bethlehem, PA; and a sister Mrs. Elmer BROWN of
Weatherly, PA.
?
I¡¯d
like to locate someone from the family so that his photograph can be placed in
their care.? If you are a member of this
family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
