Members of the Citizens Fire Company No. 1 with hose carriage are pictured in front of their new firehouse in the mid 1890s.

2837 Cleveland Ave: Owned by George Baird and his wife Estella. After the wife died, George remarried Bertha Lemmerman (who was previously married to Arthur Murphy), and they had a son together. George died in that house around 1942. After a little while, Bertha moved out and back into one of her previous homes, 2012 Wayne Ave. It is actually funny because Bertha’s nephew married Fred and Louisa’s one granddaughter. Bertha lived on her house in Wayne avenue which also was right next to her twin brother’s home Gustave William Lemmerman (Gus), who is my ancestor. Gus and Bertha were the oldest children of Wilhelm and Emma Lemmerman, who owned their own grocery store on River Avenue. Christian Emick April 5, 2020	2837 Cleveland Avenue

My ancestors grew up in North Cramer Hill area. The Donner family, Friedrich Donner (Fred), his wife Louise (went by Louisa) (née Hertler), and their family lived most of their lives on Cleveland Avenue. Fred and Louisa lived in 2840 Cleveland Avenue from 1892 until Louisa died in 1934. The house next to it 2838 Cleveland Ave was owned by their daughter Freda Bobo and her husband in 1911, and then she moved in with her parents with her son while her husband lived other places. After she moved out, their oldest daughter Louise Wroten and her husband Gordy along with Gordy’s father James Wroten and younger brother Otis Wroten lived there until James died. While the Donner’s lived in 2840, a lot happened. Fred and Louisa’s youngest child Stella died at the age of 4 by accidentally setting herself aflame in their front yard while trying to help her mother get rid of paper scraps.

I also know that a very close family friend Ida Watmore (who was best friends with one of Fred and Louisa’s granddaughters growing up), lived with her parents Ida and William and her brother and sister in 2845 Cleveland Avenue. Christian Emick April 5, 2020	2845 Cleveland Avenue
