Louisa Bittlingmeier and William Schneider Marriage Record
Louisa was married first to a Civil War soldier named William Schneider. He died in battle just a few months after the wedding, but not before Louisa became pregnant.
She gave birth to William Schneider, Jr. Unfortunately, he lived for little more than one year. A year later, Louisa married her second husband, another Civil War soldier name Jacob Bechtold.
He survived the war and he and Louisa had five children. When Jacob died in 1887, Louisa was only 40 years old. In 1890, it appears she married for the third time, to Jacob Gammel.
