Biography

Margaret was the mother of Margaret Suhler.^[1]

She died in 1926.^[2]

First Marriage

Margaret married Johann T. Suhler before 1861. They had five children:

Barbara (1861 - 1943)

Anna (1863 - 1951)

Margaret (1868 - 1910)

Nicholas (1871 - 1948)

John (? - ?)

Johann died in 1876.

Second Marriage

Margaret then married Johann's brother Johann Suhler. They had one child who died in infancy:

Johann (24 Jul 1877 - 22 May 1879). This is likely the natural son from her first marriage, born soon after her first husband's death.

Research Notes

Many online sources (including the Suhler-Thompson site) show the LNAB as Hahn. Suhler-Thompson shows a question mark after the name, and give no sources. I'm thinking this is family lore at this point. I changed the LNAB based on the marriage record of her daughter Margaret which clearly shows a LNAB of Stecker.

The Find A Grave memorial shows Hahn, but offers no source for it. The grave marker itself only shows her married name (Suhler).
