We know that Adolf Christiansen is buried in St. Paul Evergreen Cemetery, Roselle, Illinois. He is in the same plot as Julia Zimmer-Koester and Robert Koester. We know that Julia is a Zimmer sister and Bertha is a sister. According to his death certificate Alolph was a Saloon Keeper.
Bertha Zimmer traveled from Misselwitz, Posen, Germany December 1, 1905 and arrived December 18, 1905 on the Ship Pretoria sailing from Hamburg, Germany. She was 15 years old when she arrived in the USA. The ship's manifest shows she was traveling to Roselle, Illinois to stay with her brother in law Adolph Christiansen.
Census records in Chicago, Illinois 1910 show an Adolf Christiansen about the same age and a wife named Anna. Anna may be a sister of the Zimmer's.
