Obituaries translated from German:

FIRST CLIPPING (smallest):

"Died on Wednesday the 16th of December 1896, our dear father GEORGE BAUM, Sr., at the age of 78 years & 3 months. The funeral will be today, Saturday the 19th of December in the afternoon at 1:30p.m. at the funeral parlor # 2531 Colerain Ave. George, Henry, & Edward Baum, sons the deceased."\

SECOND CLIPPING:

"On Wednesday the 16th of December, George Baum Sr., an old German pioneer, died at his apartment number 2531 Colerain Ave. He reached the age of 78 years & 3 months. He was born in Baden & came to America 62 years ago at the age of 16. He lived in Cincinnati for nearly 50 years. The deceased ran a needle tree trees & cedar lumber business for a great number of years until he retired approximately 10 years ago & moved to the above mentioned apartment. His spouse died approximately 16 months ago. He leaves behind 3 sons, George & Edward who are married & live in Brooklyn, New York & Henry who lives at home & was of loving service to his father in his later years. The funeral took place at the funeral parlor."\

END TRANSLATION

The term "Senior" and "Junior" following a name did not necessarily imply a father and son relationship, as it does now. It could have been an uncle and nephew who had the same name and lived near each other. It could be a grandfather and a grandchild living together, where the father has died. It could even be two unrelated individuals with the same name but of different ages who lived near each other. So to help friends and business associates keep track of who-was-who in their discussions and records, they added on the "Sr." or "Jr." which merely meant the older and the younger, respectively.

Migration:
Baden-Baden, Germany > Lancaster, PA > Lancaster, OH (SE of Columbus) > Cincinnati, OH > Brooklyn, NY; Possibly worked with tobacco or cigar making in Lancaster, PA.; "Today, feed grains are most often cultivated, taking the place of leaf tobacco, once more extensively grown for cigars and chewing." (http://lanclio.org/history.htm)

Notes for EVA CAWEIN:
Bef. 1850 - Emigrated to US (letter from Caroline Cawein 6 Jan 1959); Letter states that the date of immigration was c. 1859, but Eva Cawein and George Baum were already married on 1 June 1852. To date, I have been unable to locate marriage certificate, assuming they were married in Cincinnati (George Baum was in Cincinnati by October 1848 - Declaration of Intent). (Some marriage records for Hamilton County, OH were lost in a fire in 1884.)

Of 10 children who descended from the marriage, 3 sons are still alive, whereof 2 George & Edward married & live in Brooklyn, NY, where together they run a hardware & leather repair shop.
