THE SCHWERT FAMILY:

Aurelia (= "Lillian") Julia
(née Schwert) Ensminger
(1896 - ????)

Spouse: Willis Ensminger
(1899 - 1983)


Aurelia (= "Lillian") Julia Schwert was born on February 14, 1896, and she was baptized by Father Ferdinand Kolb of Saint Boniface R.C. Church in Buffalo on February 16, 1896. She was the daughter of Johann (= "John") and Augusta (née Lorenz) Schwertfeger/Schwert. Witnesses to the baptism were Franz and Julianna Catharina (née Schlia/Schlee) Schwertfeger/Schwert.

On the 1900 Census, Aurelia's name is presented as "Lillian."

Lillian's baptismal record includes an annotation of her marriage to Edward Schurey(?) on February 24, 1914 at Saint Nicholas Church. However, her father Johann's obituary (1938) shows that she was then married to Willis Ensminger. We believe that this was Willis Edgar Ensminger, born on October 16, 1899, and a son of William and Annie Ensminger.

Various Buffalo city directories show that Willis was a welder and that the couple resided at 10 Medford Place.

Willis died in November, 1983. We have no information on Lillian's death or place of interment.
