Amanda Lancaster Doerr's Maternal Grandparents

While in Covington the week of February 6, I visited the Covington Cemetery with my sisters, Yvonne Garcia Crawford and Edith Garcia Eason, to find the grave of Amanda Doerr Lancaster's maternal grandparents. Her parents, Charles J.A. Doerr and Amanda Hoffmann Doerr, are also buried in the Covington Cemetery, as is her aunt, Bertha Hoffmann.

On the fourth row back from Columbia Street and about nine graves in from the gravel road that runs along the western edge of the cemetery, we found the graves of Charles, Amanda, and Bertha, as well as the grave of Julius Lorenz Hoffmann, the father of Amanda Hoffmann Doerr, and the grandfather of Amanda Doerr Lancaster. I believe Julius's wife, Fredericka Lange Hoffmann, is also buried on that spot, but the marker, written in German, lists only Julius:
