moved from Norfield to live with her daughter in New Orleans. While living in Norfield, Wilhelmina lived with a man called Rushing from Magnolia, MS. Later she married Wallace Gill in Norfield and had two children by him: Leona and Leonard. Leona married and lived in New Orleans, LA. Leonard was a Navy career man. After this, Willamina moved to New Orleans and married or lived with a man called "Smitty"
Smith. She had no children by him. Most of this information was told to us by Juanita Seitz Dupuy.
VI.	George Adam Riehlmann - bom in New Orleans on September 2, 1872 and died there on October 4, 1878 at age 6.
VII.	Jacob Riehlmann - according to the 1880 census of Pike Co., MS, he was born in the year 1875. His birth record says he was born in New Orleans on July 1, 1875. Frank A. Riehlmann and others told us this same sad story.
Jacob was a clerk in his fathers store (he was not married) and developed some bladder illness which caused him to loose control of himself. Because of this he could not work in the store and took a job at the Race Horse Track in New Orleans. He could sleep on the hay in a stall and not mess things up when he urinated. He followed the races and horses when the track closed at the end of the season. Frank told us he left New Orleans in the year 1900 and has never returned or ever heard of again. The family thinks he died up North somewhere and was not identified. Jacob is listed in the 1900 New Orleans City Directory but not in any succeeding years. Frank remembered this man very well and said he was a very nice and jovial person.
VIII.	Andreas "Andrew" Riehlmann - while his birth record lists no middle name, he often used “Jackson” for his middle name. The 1880 census of Pike Co. shows him to be born in the year 1877. His birth record in New Orleans says he was born on November 6, 1877. Mrs. Juanita Dupuy told us that she remembered him dying in New Orleans on June 25, 1941. Juanita and others told us that Andrew lived in New Orleans and had no children. We were also told he lived in Bay St. Louis for a few years. They said he married twice: first to Lillie (maiden name unknown), a fat Italian woman. He divorced her and married a Jewish woman called, Augusta “Gussie" Koschlin (she was previously married to a Romero). Frank A. Riehlmann told us that his Uncle Andrew was buried in Greenwood Cemetery on Canal Blvd. and possibly he has a headstone. Different ones described Andrew as a "Jack of all Trades and having a good personality. They said he was a carpenter, bartender, and many other things.
IX.	Louisa "Lou" or "Lula" Riehlmann - bom late in the year 1879 in "Mississippi" according to the Pike Co. census. Juanita Dupuy told us that Lula died at age 29 in New Orleans. This would put her death around the year 1908. The New Orleans death records show she died on June 6, 1908 at age 27. Lula shows up in the 1901 New Orleans City Directory as "Miss Lula Riehlmann," thus she
