- William George Tegtmeyer immigrated 18 Jun 1889. He got his Citizenship papers 24 Sept 1896. On the 1910 census, he is listed as being naturalized in 1889, I think someone confused that with his immigration. The only William George Tegtmeyer in the nauturalization index of St. Louis is on 24 Sept. 1896.
I can only surmise why the 1920 census states his naturalizations was in 1912. For the 1920 Census, Faith had been married for only 8 months. Faith was home with her 6 month old daughter, Emma. At this time her mother, Emma, was living with them and was listed as William's mother-in-law (she was also his divorced wife). I think Faith gave the census taker the information. Maybe 1912 was a year that related to something else in her life and that is the first date that came to mind.

| Notes |
- The Kingdom of Hanover founded a rival town next to Bremerhaven and called it Geestemunde (1845). Both towns grew and established the three economic pillars of trade, shipbuilding and fishing. Following inter-state negotiations at different times Bremerhaven's boundary was several times extended on the expense of Hanoveran territory. In 1924 Geestemunde and the neighboring municipality of Lehe were united to become the new city of Wesermunde, and in 1939 Bremerhaven was removed from the jurisdiction of Bremen and made a part of Wesermunde, then a part of the Prussian Province of Hanover.
Immigrated to the USA with his brother George. Their mother sent them here; she was a stewardess on an ocean liner and stowed the boys aboard ship and let them off in USA. ??The reason-- the boys father was said to be a very harsh man; the political climate in Germany was not a good one at the time. The boys' mother ended up marrying someone else over in Germany. William was supposedly the youngest at age of about 13.; but research shows that he was born in 1875 and George was born in 1878
Letter from Martha Hedden says that the 2 brothers did not come to America together.
