My great grandfather August Tanck twice married a Scheuermann. He married first, my
great grandmother, Eleanora Rosina Scheuermann b. 29Mar1836 in Aarburg, Aargau, Switzerland. He married her about 1857 in Watertown, Jefferson Co., Wisconsin. When she died in 1868, he next married, on 5Dec1869, her sister Margaretha Vrena Scheuermann who had been born in Aarburg 6Dec1844. My grandmother. Eleanora Rosina Tanck was a child of the first marriage. She married Adolph Louis Ferdinand Jaeger who, with his parents, emigrated from Germany (Prussia) and immigrated to NY 14Aug1868. Both of the Scheuermann girls are buried in Watertown, WI.
