The records for St. Joseph Church are partially water damaged, with
some whole pages being unreadable. After a stained passage is an
entry of the baptism of Dorothea, which would indicate that Catherine
married Anton Carpenter sometime between 1855 and 1858. However, the
marriage record has never been found

Martin and Gertrude were married on August 8th, 1851, at St. Joseph
Church in Grosse Point, IL. After their marriage they moved to
Springwells Township, Michigan. An 1876 map of the township shows
nine plots, varying from eight to forty-five acres, under the "M.
Schneider" name. They were all located south of Michigan Avenue,
between Lonyo and Schaefer Roads. This would split them between
present day Dearborn and Detroit.
Their first child, Anna Maria, was born on June 29th, 1852. Her birth
date, as well as four out of their next five children, were
established through baptismal records from Old St. Mary's Church
located in Detroit. No further records have been found concerning
her, and it is suspected she did not live through childhood.
Martin and Gertrude had a total of twelve children, including two sets
of twins. As their family grew, they were associated with two other
churches. St. Alphonsus in Dearborn has the baptismal records on their
five oldest children, and Holy Redeemer in Detroit has their
subsequent marriage records.

The Federal census report for Detroit, taken on June 13th, 1900, shows
three people living at 694 Junction Avenue, Martin, his wife,
Gertrude, and their daughter Mary A. Martin died on 1/27/1906, and
Gertrude died the following year on 11/24/1907. Their funerals were
both from Holy Redeemer Church, and they are buried at Holy Cross
Cemetery.
