What is known is that just eleven days later, on June 4, 1884 at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in South Chicago, William Hennebohle, the brother of Frank Hennebohle, married his bride, a lady named Catherine Schiltges [SIC per church marriage record].  Witnesses for the marriage were Frank Hennebohle and his wife Anna (Schildges).

On February 19, 1885, a son - Francis John, was born to William Hennebohle and Catherine Schiltges.  The child was baptized March 1, 1885 at Ss. Peter and Paul Church.

At least two grandchildren of William's brother, Frank, (Mathilda (Sieben) Maxfield & Frederick Sieben) recall that the eldest of the William Hennebohle children was named William, followed by Frank, Emil, Martha and Johnny.  Through church records of Ss. Peter & Paul, all but William can be accounted for.

One other William (Jr.) mystery is that his Nov. 27, 1942 obituary in the Hammond Times gives his age as 63.  That would place his birth in the year 1879, not 1883/84.  The obituary fails to mention anything of William's birthplace or give a date, nor does it mention his parents (who died in 1896 and 1897) nor his (legal or not) adoptive parents, his aunt and uncle, Frank and Anna (Schildges)  Hennebohle.
