“Frances Imoore,” mistakenly recorded as female, is found with his family in the 1850 Marshall County census. He was the son of John J. (Johannes) Eimer/Imer and Catherine (Hembone, per Stone Church Cemetery record), immigrants from Germany in the early 1840s. Of their 5 children named in 1850, the three oldest were born in Germany, and the last two, including Frances, were born in Va. The children were Coonrod, 14; Henry, 12; Eliza, 11; Frances, 8; William, 6. They might have had an older son, Hanson.
By 1860, the family had moved to Ohio County, and Frances was “Frederick Imer,” age 15. Sister, Eliza, and brother, William, were also in the home.
During the war, Conrad, Henry, Hanson & William Imer served in E 1 W.Va. Infantry, and all survived. In 1863, Catherine Eimer, the mother of Frances Frederick Eimer, applied for a pension and received Certificate #207.571. She died in 1878. In 1879, the father, Johannes Eimer, applied for a pension and received Certificate #207.572. Both “Imer” and “Eimer” are stated on the pension index card.
