Finding Lindauer Cemetery Plot by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): The only Lindauer I knew of was Eloise (Ellie) Lindauer (1861-1935), she was my great grandmother and she was married to Max Freudenberg, who I knew from the Freudenberg family plot where my grandfather is buried. My mother remembered meeting her when she lived in Jersey City and she told me stories of her when I started working on family history. I looked up her death certificate and it gave her father and mother's name. That would have been the end of the Lindauer search, if it wasn't for an accidental find. I found the death certificate for one of the Freudenberg-Lindauer children that died at birth, and it listed Cypress Hill Cemetery in Brooklyn as the place of burial. I was very excited and the next day I called the cemetery and sent them the $30 they asked to pay for the research. They sent a letter on October 10, 1998 with the Freudenberg information and I eargerly entered it on my chart. About a week later I noticed a note at the bottom of the page that said "There are 10 more people named Lindauer, If you want research done there is an extra charge". I called and asked about the research and they wanted more money, so I sent them a second check. The new information arrived and I tried to make sense of it, there was an "Esko" and Massey in the grave also. A trip to the archive in NY gave a few birth and death certificates of the people in the grave, and gave the relationship of some of the people. I then visited the cemetery, it took three seperate trips into Brooklyn till I found the exact grave. On the third trip I searched for about 45 minutes and finally I spied a tombstone that said "Ensko". Sara and Daniel Norton, my children, were with me and are in the pictures of the tombstone I took on April 23, 1999. I photographed the grave but I didn't develop the film for a month. I noticed then that the name "Esko" on paper was really "Ensko" on the tombstone, and looked them all up in the Internet telephone directory and called one. He told me to call Eloise Higgins in Lawrenceville, NJ. I called and Eloise told me they were related and they lived near Trenton. She said "hold on" and then said "Im looking at a photopgraph of Sophie Weber". I knew who Sophia was from the death certificate I looked up in the NY City archive just a few weeks earlier. She also had a photo of Oscar A.M. Lindauer as well as a written testimony. I visited them and took photos of them. Later I found the Oscar A.M. Lindauer obituary in the Rutgers Library.

Livingston Masonic Library: From: Livingston Masonic Library To: Richard Arthur Norton Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 1:19 PM Subject: Re: Mason Registry Information Dear Mr. Norton, Thank you for writing. I found the following information on your ancestors: I searched the Library's microfiche files of lodge annual returns for information on Oscar Arthur Moritz Lindauer or Eastern Star Lodge #227. I began by checking the lodge's 1866 return, hoping to find an entry upon the event of Lindauer's death. However, there was no entry, which would indicate that Mr. Lindauer was either not a member of the lodge, or that he had ended his membership at some point prior to his death. I began tracing back through the returns, which we have going back until 1853, but I did not find the name Oscar Lindauer as a member of the lodge. The lodge returns are handwritten, and it is possible that I missed an entry, but I'm fairly sure I made a thorough search. I did find a member named Charles F. Lindauer, who joined the lodge in 1864. Brother Lindauer received his first Masonic degree in 1861 at the age of 24. His occupation was "clerk," his birthplace reads "America," and his residence "NY." The date of his first degree was 3/23/1861; he received his 2nd degree on 4/3/1861; and he completed his membership in the lodge with his 3rd degree on 1/27/1864. It seems possible that Brother Lindauer took part in the Civil War, as it is not usual to have a three-year gap between the 2nd and 3rd degrees. I hope that this information is of some use. Good luck to you in your future research. Sincerely, Tom Savini, Director of Chancellor Robert R. Livingston Masonic Library and Museum 71 West 23rd Street, New York, NY 10010.

Charles Frederick Lindauer (1836-1921) Liquor Merchant and Cigar Dealer, Freemason (b. April 1836, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - d. March 03, 1921, 3:00 pm, 209 Locust Avenue, Rye, Westchester County, New York, USA) Charles was born in Philadelphia to Oscar Arthur Moritz Lindauer (1815-1866) and Sophia Webber (1815-1891) who had immigrated from Strasbourg in Alsace-Lorraine, Germany/France to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania around 1834-1835. His siblings include; John Jacob Lindauer (1841-1888), Louis Julius Lindauer (1842-1915) who married Mary Sheehan (1842-1888) and Eloise Lindauer I (1852-1944) who married William Arthur Ensko II (1850-1889). Charles may have served in the Civil War with one of his brothers, but no documantation has been found. There may be another family of Lindauers in PA and in NJ with similar names causing the confusion. In 1857 Charles married Anna Augusta Kershaw (1841-1931) the daughter of Abraham Kershaw (1814-?) and Sara Olderen (1816-?) of Oyster Bay on Long Island. The Kershaws had moved to Manhattan by 1850 and Abraham and Sarah may have died on the way to California according to some sources. Charles and Anna had the following children; Eloise (Ellie) Lindauer (1861-1935) born in Manhattan, NY who married an insurance worker named Maximillian (Max) S. Freudenberg I (1858-1921) and had 15 children of which 9 lived to adulthood, Arthur Oscar Lindauer (1867-1944) who was a trapeze performer who never married, Ada Lindauer (1868-?) born in Manhattan, NY, Anna Lindauer (1873-aft1910) born in Manhattan, NY who married Ira Lowe (c1873-?) and they had 2 children and no grandchildren, Harry C. Lindauer I (1877-1923) born January 1877 in NJ who married Hannah Shea (1884-?) and had at least one child but no grandchildren and died of syphilis, LeBaron Hart Lindauer (1879-1945) born August 1878 in Manhattan, NY who married Catherine Harney (1878-1966) and had no children. LeBaron is named after the doctor that attended his birth. Other children may exist and be buried at Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY but their birth and death certificates must still be found in the NY archives to confirm parentage. In 1864 Charles joined the Freemasons and in 1880 Charles was living at 51 8th Street in Hoboken, Hudson County, New Jersey with his children and his new son-in-law, Maximillian (Max) S. Freudenberg. Charles was working as a cigar dealer. Between 1895 and 1900 Charles moved the family to Rye, New York in Westchester County. The oral family tradition was that he owned several "wine gardens" and owned a large house in Rye.

It just occurred to me that the father of Grover Cleveland Lindauer (1885-1968) which is Charles Lindauer, according to his death certificate may be Charles Frederick Lindauer (1836-1921) my greatgrandfather. I have had these two Charles and could not figure how they fit together so here is the new hypothesis. Charles Frederick Lindauer (1836-1921) is the father of both Grover Cleveland Lindauer (1885-1968) with Mary Dunne at age 49 and Louis Lindauer with a woman with the last name Miller.

There are two Charles Lindauer families living in Manhattan in the 1870 Census. One is living home with Charles' mother and contains Anna August Kershaw and the second is a few blocks away with Caroline Ritter. I believed they were two Charles, even though they were both roughly the same age and were born in Pennsylvania. Today I believe they are the same and Charles was a polygamist. Charlotte (Lottie) Lindauer (1869-1894) who's mother is Caroline (Carrie) Ritter is buried in the family grave in Cypress Hills with Charles' mother and father. This is the same Caroline and Charlotte that are in the 1870 census as the other family. Source: Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) August 16, 2003
