    <p><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px"> I am also a descendant of Adelheid Gallin Balke by the marriage to Heinrich (Henry) Mettscher through there son Fritz Heinrich. Henry and Adelheid were my gt-gt-gt-grandparents on my mother’s side of the family.</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">I have a copy of Henry&#39;s estate probate from Stafford County KS and it states in Henry’s Will that Adelheid Mettscher was Henry’s oldest daughter and Louise, Dorothea&nbsp; were step daughter. I am assuming they are from Adelheid’s first marriage to Wilhelm Scharnhorst</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">&nbsp;</span></span><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">I will tell you this from read Henry’s Will it appears that he did not much care for the 2 step daughters by what he left them. Louisa was left one dollar and Dorothea was left five dollars.&nbsp; While all the other children were left either 125 or 100 dollars.&nbsp; It also shows that Louisa never claimed her dollar or at least she never signed the paperwork for it.</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">&nbsp;</span></span><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">I also have a picture of Adelheid Balke&#39;s , (see attachment), it is in Peace Cemetery, Hudson, Stafford Co., </span></span><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">Kansas</span></span><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">, </span></span><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">USA</span></span><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">.&nbsp; </span></span><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">Peace</span></span><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px"> </span></span><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">Church</span></span><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px"> has some records on Adelheid death but none on Henry nor is he on the front of the headstone all that is there at the bottom is the family name, she was on the backside</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px">&nbsp;</span></span></p>
