George Henry Fienning / Sophia Fredericka (Von Pein) Fienning

Son of Johann Fienning & Katherine Louisa Fienning

After the death of Frances Charlotte in 1918, Charlotte's cousin Sophia came to live with the family to take over the role of caregiver. A year and a half later George Henry and Sophia Fredericka wed and had later had an additional child. This brought the number of children of George Henry to ten.
