Biography

Carl lived in Garstedt, Kreis Pinneberg, at Rugenbarg 40 (in the area of Hamburg). His widow was Elisabetha nee Weidner. the certificate of his death stated that his Father: Christian Christof Baer, whose last residence was Karlruhe, [De]; Mother: Rosalie [nee Schmidt and later legitimized] Herrmann, who last lived in Offenburg in Baden, [De]. Cause of death [Todesurfache]: Carcinose nach frU (umlaut-u) operiertem Magen--carcinoma. [cavaet: frU must be a transcription error.] This must be the man whom Rosa Baer, then 73, listed as her "closest living relative" in 1911 on the manifest of the Cleveland when it docked at Ellis Island., NY,NY. She was bringing my father, aged 4, to Connecticut to join his mother for the 2nd time in his life.

Another view: this man could be a nephew of Rosa Baer.
