B. 26 Dec 1882: Katalin (Catharina) Marmon, Mehala, Hungary (suburb of Temeswar) Parents: Johann Marmon & Catharina Bohn (Bohn of Lenauheim).  Katalin/Catharina, aka Katy, married Michael Schick (Csik), b. 16 Jan 1877, Mercydorf. Katy died 30 Jul 1907, Atlanta, GA.  Immigrated to the US 1904.

1903 Marmon family document dated 1903, mentions Katalin Marmon Csik
 
These Marmon family documents have survived over 100 years & through Communist Romania.

1907 Jul 30 Katy dies at 24 years old, that would put her estimated year of birth at 1883. I located 4 obituary notices for Katy Schick who died July 30, 1907 at her residence on Milton St., in South Atlanta.  She was married to Michael Schick.  Church service were held at Immaculate Conception & she is buried at Westview Cemetery.

I visited the Westview Cemetery in Atlanta and obtained the grave information: Section 8 / Row 1 / plot 1S - no grave marker and no other information was in file.

Below information is a compiled mix of information that I have found regarding associations and connections to the Schick's from Mercydorf to the US . . .

Katharine Schick born about 1891 in Mercydorf.  Mother Margit Schick still lived in Mercydorf, Hungary when she immigrated.  She was going to join her brother Nicolaus Schick who was living at 330 E. 126th St, NY, NY. 

Marie Zimmer (born Schick) about 1885 in Mercydorf.  Father Nicolaus Schick in Mercydorf, a sister Katharine Schick and a brother Nicolaus Schick.

Records for a Marie Zimmer age/year/est yob:
1905/20/1985  - 1908/24/1884 - 1911/26/1885 = this could be all the same woman.  On the first manifest July 2, 1905 July  2, 1905 Zimmer, Maria  age 20 & married, joining her husband Jakob Zimmer at 738 E 144 St, NY - On the 2nd voyage June 7, 1908 Marie Zimmer age 24 and a Widow - apparently Jacob died between 1905 and 1908.  At this time Marie reports nearest relative

Joining
Sister Katherine Schick at 127 East 21st St., NYNY.  Whala!  Could Marie was a Schick!

Note Regaring Jacob Zimmer: Now, considering on July 29 1906 Speichermann, Borbala (see frame 1) was joining Jacob Zimmer @ 330 E. 126 St., NY NY (if we are considering him the same person) he was still living up to July 29, 1906.  This narrows his death date to July 29, 1906 to June 7, 1908.

1908 Traveling with Anne Lanyo age 20-single.  Father Peter in Mercydorf #156. Joining cousin Eugenia Perweiler at 125th St. E. NY.
