Philipp and Anna Elisabeth Scheidemann
Philipp Scheidemann was born in Norka, Russia on September 8, 1857, the son of Conrad Scheidemann (1836) and Catharina Margaretha Brehm (1835).
Philipp married Anna Elisabeth Loos on February 3, 1881. Anna Elisabeth was born on January 17, 1859, in Norka, the daughter of Johannes Loos (1817) and Catharina Schmer (1826).
Four children were born in Norka: Heinrich (born 1883 - died 1885); Elisabeth (born September 1885); Catharina Maria (born February 1887); Heinrich Peter (born January 1882).
The Scheidemann family immigrated to the United States on June 27, 1888, arriving in New York from Bremen aboard the steamship America. The family initially settled in Nebraska, where twins were born: Magdalena and Anna (born Nov 1889).
By 1891, the family was living in Portland. A daughter, Katie, was born in May 1891, and a son, Henry W., was born in February 1893.
The 1892 City Directory shows the family residing at 171 Knott (now 623 N Knott Street), where Philipp worked as a laborer. In 1895/1896, the family lived at 408/410 Sellwood (now ?), and Philipp worked as a chain tender. By 1898, the family had moved to 761 E 10th N (now 3506 NE 10th Avenue). The 1900 census shows the family living at the same address, and Philipp works as a day laborer.
By 1901, Philipp had gone into the scavenger business. He resided on the NE corner of 14th and Fremont. The 1902 City Directory shows the family living on the west side of E 14th near Fremont. The 1904 City Directory listed the family at 746 E 14th N.
