Luise Henritte Julia Erxmeier 25 May 1849 daughter of Heinrich Wilhelm Erxmeier and Johanne Dorothe Marie Hogrefe Meinerdingen, Walsrode-Vorbruck (Ev.- Luth. Kirchengemeinde Walsrode Febuary 2006)

Luise Henriette Julia born 25 May 1849 daughter of Heinrich Erxmeier "gartner" (gardener) and Dorothe Nee Hogrefe baptized June 10, 1849, (St Georg Kirche Meinerdingen, witnesses Luise Ahrens, Luise Ahlborn (?), Henritte Muller, Ernst Eimer and Julia Nienaber - April 2007 Meinderdinger Ev Luth. Church)

US records confirm that Julia Erxmeyer was born on May 25, 1849 in Walsrode, Germany, the daughter of Henry Erxmeyer and Dorethe Hogrefe.

Julia married for the first time in Germany. She immigrated to the United States circa 1873. After the death of her first husband, John Lehman, Julia married Behrend Tietjen. Julia died in 1933.

The Marriage of Julia Erxmeyer and John Lehman

Julie Erxmeyer married John David Lehman (born circa 1846, Wismar, Merklenburg, the son of Christine and Eliza) in Germany. Their daughter, Elizabeth, was born in Germany circa 1871. Based on Julie's date of birth and her daughter Elizabeth's date of birth, I would assume that Julie and John were married circa 1870. They may have married in Lehe.

      Divorce:

      The story of Julia's first marriage to Henry William Stehn goes like this: Elizabeth Lehmann von Dohren and Henry William Stehn's mother were exceptionally close friends and very strong-willed women. They made a pact that when their children (Julia and Henry) grew up, they would marry. That came to pass in 1912. From my mother's recollections of the talk of the time, they were completely mismatched from the very start. After a relatively short period of marriage, Henry (who was reported to be very good looking) began to fool around. Julia (also reported to be very good looking) soon followed suit. The result was - my father! Evidently, Julia and Henry's divorce was a monumental scandal. My mother recalls being told that it was reported heavily in both the Hudson Dispatch and Jersey Journal, and that photographers followed them around, taking pictures through the back windows of cars, etc.

      Rick Stehn, December 2006

      
      H. William Stehn M. B.

      At age 26 founded the Hudson County College of Music and Art, in Weehawken - the first college of music in the state of New Jersey. H. William Stehn was born in Hoboken Mach 11, 1888 to John Henry Stehn born Norlede, Germany and Helen F Stehn (nee Seedorf) born Lesum Germany. (Note: I found this on line and cannot find it again, MLB 2015)

      
      Mrs. H. William Stehn Daily News 07 April 1930

      "The mystery of the disappearance of Mrs. H. William Stehn from her home at 100 Highpoint ave, Weehawken Heights, N. J. has been solved by the arrest of Wilbur McAllister, thirty four, a former boarder of the Stehns who has been missing since Mrs. Stehn left home with her adopted daughter Grace more than a month ago. McAllister was located working in a garage in Plainfield, N. J. McAllister was take to police headquarters at Union Hill to face a robbery charge."

      Elopement of Julia - The Jersey Journal of May 21, 1920:

      Vet Who Eloped Gets 18 Months for Auto Theft

      For his part in the theft of an automobile from a garage at 1435 Park Avenue, Hoboken, Wilber McAllister who disappeared with Mrs. Rose sic Stehn, wife of Prof. J William Stehn, a North Hudson musician and was afterward located in Plainfield, will serve 18 months in the county Penitentiary.....

      McAllister pleaded non vult to receiving stolen good in the hope of escaping a sever sentence. In doing so he turned state's evidence agains two companions. But a jury acquitted, the other young men of complicity in the crime.

      It is possible that McAllister connection with the flight of Mrs. Stehn from her home in Weehawken contributed to the severity of his punishment. Mrs. Stehn is now stoping with friends near Dunellen until the wave of gossip abates. McAllister who boarded in the Stehn home, stole and sold the auto just before he and Mrs. Stehn left town.

      1921 Divorce: In October 1921 Prof. Henry W. Stehn of Highpoint avenue Weehawken was grated a divorce from his wife Julia A Stehn who had eloped with Wilbur A Mcallister a former soldier.

         Rick Stehn, December 2006

         Wilbert Elmer Stehn died on June 20, 2005. He married June Edith Boulter of Union City on November 14, 1942. They met and were married at St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Union City, NJ. They had two children. Judith Boulter Stehn Collier (born 1944) and Eric Howard Stehn (born July 26, 1950). Wilbert served as a Storekeeper 1st Class at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during World War II. Wilbert and June originally resided at 12 Oak Street in Weehawken. Following the war, Wilbert (known as "Bill") went to work for Grove, Shepherd, Wilson & Kruge, an international construction company. He traveled extensively during his long employment with them. The Stehn family moved to 55 Bonn Place, Weehawken in 1956, then to 57 Hudson Place, Weehawken in 1958 where they resided until 1972. In 1972 they moved to 87 Franklin Street, Tenafly, NJ where my mother still resides.

      More on Wilbur R. McAllister (1894-1977)

      1920: The 1920 census directly connects Wilbur (Wilbert) Mc (Mac) Allister to Julia Stehn. He was listed as a lodger - "Wilbert R. Mac Allister, age 36, born NJ, chauffeur, garage". This would suggest that he was born in New Jersey circa 1884. I believe the year of birth was incorrectly listed. He was born in 1894.

      Notes: Dispite the age and year of birth as indicated in the 1920 census later records indicate that Wilbur McAllister was born in 1894.

      The 1920 census shows:

      • Connection to Julia
      • Right occupation
      • Right middle initial
      • Right birth state
      • Limited number of "Wilbur" MaAllisters (variety of spellings) in records. There was one other Wilbur born in N. J. around the right time - "Wilbur J MacAllister" born May 27, 1885.
      • "Wilbert" was a lodger and not a family member so the possibility of misinformation about him is higher than normal for the censuses. Plus he and Julia had recently had a child together while Julia was still married to Henry Stehn - "Wilbert" born March 1920.

      Marriage of Julia von Dorhen Stehn to Charles Bremer: Charles Bremer circa 1927/28

      Julia in later years:

      In her later years, Julia lived in an apartment building on the corner of 19th and West Streets in Union City. She had suffered a minor stroke circa 1942, and was employed by Peter Freund Textiles (a sweater factory) located on 82nd Street and Boulevard West (now JF Kennedy Boulevard) in North Bergen.

      My mother believes that Julia's marriage to Charles Bremer was for the sole purpose of financial support. Her recollection is that Julia "threw him out", but she had no idea why. They were separated, but may never have been formally divorced.
