Sarah Leonard (1872-1935)
She came to the USA about 1890 with a younger sister, name unkown.
They came from Ireland, and in Philadelphia, she met and married Charles Richard Baumgart, German immigrant, my grandfather.
Sarah was my inspiration for researching the family tre Among her things I found an old Bible and in it was this poem written in her hand
Mrs. Chas. Baumgart is my name,Janvier Road is my dwelling place,and heaven is my expectation.
When I am dead and in my grave,and all my bones are rotten.
This little book will tell my name,
When I am quite forgotten.
Well, Grandmom I did not forget.
This is a note that my Sister Marie found in our grandmothers bible. Marie is in to the family tree thing,, I wish I had the patience, I have put grand mothers picture here for you to see, I hope you enjoy this kind of thing,,,,, FRAN
