How to read this page

Photos and clippings count items you can view here.
Cited or transcribed records are counted separately.
Story links lead to accounts about the person; “Mentioned in another story” marks a passing reference.
Memorial links open Find a Grave.
A “family recollection” label marks something a relative remembered, not a written record.
A military-service label rates the record of that service, not the whole life.

Sex is as recorded in the family tree. Age at death is worked out from the dates shown and may be a range or an approximation. It is left out when a date is missing or is only a “before”, “after” or “between” date, when the research has found a date Unconfirmed, when the two dates conflict, or when they would mean an age over 110.

Life events

Born	about 1884, New Jersey, USA Likely evidence: show why Why: Aged 26 in the 1910 census (Lula Hoefer, wife of Philip, at Paterson) and 35 in January 1920 (Lule M. Seigel); born in New Jersey in both. Records: 1910 U.S. census, Paterson Ward 4, ED 113, sheet 5B, Bridge St.: Philip, Lula and Iantha Hoefer (view at Ancestry.com) 1920 U.S. census, Paterson Ward 3, Passaic Co., N.J., East 18th St., ED 84, sheet 9A: Charles A.

Died	No death date is recorded here. The site classifies this person as deceased from the dated records; no death record is cited.
Also recorded as	Lula Hoefer; Lula Hoefer; Iantha Van Winkle
Marriage	Philip Hoefer, 1908, New Jersey, USA Confirmed evidence: show why Why: The New Jersey marriage index lists Phillip Hoefer and Lula Vanwinkle in 1908; the 1910 census has them married one year; his 1914 death notice calls him the husband of 'Lulu Hoefer (nee Van Winkle)'. Records: New Jersey Marriage Index, 1901-2016: Phillip Hoefer and Lula Vanwinkle, 1908 (view at Ancestry.com) 1910 U.S. census, Paterson Ward 4, ED 113, sheet 5B, Bridge St.: Philip, Lula and Iantha Hoefer (view at Ancestry.com) The Morning Call (Paterson, N.J.), 31 Dec 1914, p. 12, death notice: 'HOEFER—In Paterson, on Wednesday, Dec. 30, 1914, Philip, beloved husband of Lulu Hoefer (nee Van Winkle). Notice of funeral hereafter.' (view at Newspapers.com) Review: assessed 10-21-2026; evidence: Index or transcription examined; Image examined. What the labels mean
Marriage	BEF JAN 1920, with Charles A. Seigel born c. 1886
Second marriage	Charles A. Seigel, by January 1920 Likely evidence: show why Why: The 1920 census at Paterson lists Charles A. Seigel, 33, his wife Lule M., 35, born in New Jersey, and a daughter Iantha, 10: Lula with her daughter Iantha Hoefer, widowed in 1914, by the unusual name, age and town. No marriage record has been seen. By 1930 Charles A. Seigel was a widower, so Lula probably died between 1920 and 1930 (an inference: being widowed does not by itself show that Lula was the wife who died); her death record has not been found. Where they married is not known. Records: 1920 U.S. census, Paterson Ward 3, Passaic Co., N.J., East 18th St., ED 84, sheet 9A: Charles A. Seigel, 33, head; Lule M. Seigel, 35, wife, born New Jersey; Iantha Seigel, 10, daughter; Herman Seigel, 31, brother (view at Ancestry.com) 1930 U.S. census, Paterson, Passaic Co., N.J., 334 East 18th St., ED 29, sheet 15A: Charles A. Seigel, 45, head, widowed; Herman Seigel, 43, brother (view at Ancestry.com) Review: assessed 10-21-2026; evidence: Image examined; Index or transcription examined. What the labels mean
