Death of George Wenzel

George Wenzel died at age 68 on June 6, 1894 in Baltimore, Maryland. His death certificate lists his address as 1415 Patterson Ave, Baltimore, Maryland. His occupation was Gardener. He was born in Germany and had lived in Baltimore for 50 years. The cause of death was (primary) apoplexy (secondary) exhaustion. He was sick for 2 ˝ days. He was buried at Loudon Park Cemetery on June 8, 1894.

I assume that “lived in Baltimore for 50 years” was an estimate by the person giving information for the death certificate. If George Wenzel indeed came to Baltimore in 1844, he could not possibly have been a Burgermeister; he would have been listed somewhere in the 1850 Census; and he possibly would have shown up in an earlier record at Old Otterbein Church. The person providing the death certificate information probably estimated how many years George Wenzel had lived in Baltimore.
