Descendants of Louisa Cecilia TOWNSEND

Louisa Cecilia TOWNSEND
Married to Friedrich Ludwig Wilhelm Vogler on 18th April 1857 in Padang. Friedrich was born on 25th October 1823 in Weiburg and died on 2nd June 1872 in Wiesbaden.

Children:
  1. Carolina Euphemia Vogler b. 30th March 1859 in Padang. Nothing further is known of her life.
  2. Leopold Ludwich Vogler b. 17th September 1862 in Padang. Nothing further is known of his life.
I have found another child, Helene Mathilde Vogler, who appears elsewhere as the wife of  Gerrit Elink Schuurman, son of Louisa's sister..

According to Thomas, there were 12 children in all. I am hoping that Thomas can expand this section.

  1. Friedrich Ludwig Wilhelm VOGLER, was born in Weilburg, Germany on 25th Oktober 1823, was health officer 1st class in the army, died in Wiesbaden on 2 June 1872, son of Johann Carl Wilhelm VOGLER en Ludovike Hemiette Johanne Felix DEUTZ.

    Friedrich Ludwig Wilhelm VOGLER had returned to Germany to retire. Once in Germany the war of 1870 started. He immediately volunteered as doctor. He attracted pneumonia and died shortly afterwards. He left his wife and children, who did not speak German behind with family in Wiesbaden, Germany. They had 12 children of which five died at birth or soon there after.

    When the Lousie Cecilia VOGLER's sister Euphemia heard of her predicament, she sent for her and her children to return to Batavia where they settled in the garden lodge of the plantation.

  3. Many thanks for that, Thomas. I now have a good picture of the whole family, and where they scattered to. Next time I am in Bandung, I will go searching for the graves in Bandung and Bogor (Buitenzorg), at least. Photos of any remaining headstones would be good.
