Babette Pommer MURRER Birth 26 May 1873 Germany Death 13 Dec 1936 (aged 63) Erie County, Pennsylvania, USA Burial Cremated Memorial ID 234512994

Babette Pommer was born to Matthew Pommer and Kunigunde Mueller in Neuremberg, Germany 26 May 1873.
Babette had 8 siblings
Elizabeth (Lisette) Pommer
Martin Pommer
John Jacob Pommer
Charles Fredrick Pommer
Pauline Pommer
Christ (Christian) Pommer
Andrew Pommer

Babette immigrated to the United States in 1891 and became a citizen when she married William George Murrer 29 Nov 1891. They had four children: Walter, Hester, Hedwig and Albert.

In 1909 Babette graduated from West Penn Hospital Nurse Training and worked as a nurse, caregiver until her death in 1936.
Babette was the first of her siblings to immigrated to American. Before she died she saw six of her siblings immigrate to American. Only Chirst and Andrew remained in Germany.

I believe that Babette was cremated and her ashes may be in Mt Lebanon Cemetery or Homewood Cemetery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Both are mentioned in separate obituaries but neither cemetery has a record.
