Notes

Sophia came to the United States in 1848 with one of her sisters. She was apparently betrothed to Ernst Rohrkaste before Ernst left Germany in 1846; he then sent for her.

The following obituary appeared in the June 14, 1915 of The Pittsburgh Press:

Mrs. Sophis Stolte Rohrkaste.

Mrs. Sophia Stolte Rohrkaste, aged 91, died at her home, 157 Boggs ave., yesterday. Mrs. Rohrkaste was born in Germany and came to America about 68 years ago. She had lived in Pittsburgh every since. She was the widow of Ernst Rohrkaste, a well-known grocer of the Southside. She was a member of St. Paul's German Lutheran church, and the Ladies' Aid society of the church. She is survived by two sons, Fred G. and Christian C.; 18 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
