Member tree hint (claims only; per BRIEF always Ignore)

Zimmerman Family Tree: "Barbara Barberry Hegnauer"

  • Claims: born Jun 1859, "Boeuf, Gasconade, Missourii"; died 1923, Missouri; father "Luzius Lucius Hegnauer"; mother Margareth Bernet. Children (6): Bertha M Kamm, Oscar William Kamm, Margaret Elizabeth (Maggie) Kamm, Elizabeth Barbara Kamm, Christina L Kamm, Robert John Kamm. No spouse shown on the card.
  • Assessment: consistent with the records. Useful only as a pointer to full given names (Oscar William; Elizabeth Barbara = "Lizzie B"; Bertha May), which Find a Grave also gives. It omits Anna (1886-1895) and the eighth child. Decision: Ignore (member tree).

Find a Grave memorial 125533592, Barbara Barberry Hegnauer Kamm: 2 gravestone photos

  • findagrave.com/memorial/125533592/barbara-barberry-kamm/photo
  • Contributors: Old RC (added 14 Nov 2025) and Past Memories (added 16 May 2014). Memorial created by Carl Steiger, 23 Feb 2014. Green Lawn Cemetery, Rich Hill, Bates Co., Mo.; plot 02-075-4; GPS 38.0979779, -94.3859513.
  • What they are: two photographs of the same upright grey granite headstone shared with her husband.
  • Transcription of the stone (read from both photos):

    KAMM ROBERT 1857—1934 HIS WIFE BARBARA 1859—1923 AT REST

  • Memorial data (contributor's, not a record): born 1 Jun 1859; died 6 Jan 1923, Bates County; inscription "AT REST"; spouse Robert John Kamm Sr (1857-1934, memorial 125533319); children Margaret E Kamm (1885-1949, 125533533), Anna Kamm (1886-1895, 99261773), Christina Louise Kamm Grill (1889-1965, 86783280), Elizabeth Barbara Kamm McVicker (1893-1979, 122310244), Robert John Kamm Jr (1896-1934, 125533353), Oscar William Kamm (1899-1980, 125533489), Bertha May Kamm States (1903-1988, 47710276). No bio.
  • Assessment: a derivative but direct witness to her burial in Green Lawn Cemetery beside Robert (plots 02-075-1 to -5 hold Robert Sr, Margaret, Oscar, Barbara and Robert Jr). Agrees with the death certificate (burial "Green Lawn") and the obituaries ("Burial in Greenlawn cemetery"). Suitable to cite for Burial. The stone gives years only. The "Barberry" middle name comes from the 1880 census spelling "Barberry"; it is not a real middle name.

Find a Grave memorial 99261773, Anna Kamm (20 Feb 1886 - 18 Sep 1895): 1 gravestone photo

  • findagrave.com/memorial/99261773/anna-kamm ; photo by Larry Spangler, added 20 Oct 2012 (memorial created by him the same day). Reform Cemetery, Pleasant Gap, Bates Co., Mo.
  • What it is: a tall, heavily lichened stone with a pointed top. The lettering cannot be read in the photo.
  • Memorial text (contributor's transcription, not verified from the photo): "Daughter of B & B Kamm"; Inscription "Daughter of R & B Kamm". Linked parents Robert John Kamm Sr and Barbara Barberry Hegnauer Kamm.
  • Assessment: a child missing from the Ancestry tree. She fits the gap between Maggie (Dec 1883) and Christina (Jan 1889) and is buried in the Reformed church cemetery where the Hegnauers lie. She explains one of the two dead children counted in 1900 (7 born, 5 living) and 1910 (8 born, 6 living). The inscription and dates rest on the contributor's reading. Treat as probable, not proven. Note: "Anna A Kamm" (23 Feb 1891 - 14 Dec 1893, same cemetery, memorial 99261400) is linked to Fred and Fredericka (Nieder) Kamm and is not Barbara's child.
