THIRTEENTH GENERATION

783. Karl Ludwig Theodor SCHEYHING was born on 6 Jul 1874 in Kassel, Hessen-Kassel, Germany. He died on 27 Dec 1925 in Kassel, Hessen-Kassel, Germany. He was an Optician in Kassel, Hessen-Kassel, Germany. Thea Blomquist says that Karl Ludwig had a terrible falling out with his brother Christian Ludwig, apparently involving the future of Scheyhing Optik, as a result of which they never spoke to one another again.

However, Holger Metz wrote the Ned Benson on 11 Oct 1997:
Karl Ludwig Theodor Scheyhing was my grandfather. I never got to know him personally,
because he died in 1925 before my birth. From my grandmother and my mother I have however many experiences of him.

When my great-grandfather Hermann Jacob Scheyhing died in 1895, both brothers - Christian and Ludwig Scheyhing - together lead the business. Christian had the commercial guidance and my grandfather was the practitioner. In 1905 my grandfather Karl Scheyhing opened his own business. After his death in 1925 my grandmother Anna Scheyhing continued to run the business, until her sons Otto and Heinz Scheyhing took over the business. Now my cousin Charles-Heinz Scheyhing runs this business for the third generation.

Of a "terrible falling out" I have never heard anything form my family and other relatives.
I have many photos of my grandfather and his siblings up to his death. I have a photo taken a few weeks before his death with his brothers Christian and Oskar clearly *happy*.

The brother Christian after the deaths my grandfather of my grandmother helped with the education of the children of his brother Karl. My mother has always told of the beautiful family celebrations with at Uncle Christian. There are many photos that shows this. In 1954, shortly before the death of Christian Scheyhing, my grandmother was with me to visit Christian. It was a joyous atmosphere.

Because of all of this I can not believe that both brothers had such a heavy dispute that they no longer spoke with one another. It is also unintelligible why the son Hermann Charles Scheyhing (1904-1993) should have emigrated in 1925 to the USA because of the alleged dispute of his father with his brother.

There is a possible explanation: About 1960 both cousins, Otto Scheyhing, son of Karl
Scheyhing, and Richard Scheyhing, son of Christian Scheyhing, had a dispute because of their businesses. These two cousins thereafter spoke no longer with one another. I accept that Anneliese Scheyhing, sister of Richard Scheyhing (they emigrated to Australia), and her daughter Thea Blomquist in Rochester, Michigan, wrongly interpreted this issue.

He was married to Anna Henriette BERGMANN (daughter of Otto Albert BERGMANN and Anna Maria MERKLER) on 13 Oct 1906 in Kassel, Hessen-Kassel, Germany. Anna Henriette BERGMANN was born on 11 Mar 1883 in Straßburg, Alsaß (France). She died on 7 Oct 1956 in Kassel, Hessen-Kassel, Germany. Karl Ludwig Theodor SCHEYHING and Anna Henriette BERGMANN had the following children:
